I feel so alone here...
by Pams girl inthanks to all who helped me escape my imminemt baptism after 6 years of study.
it was a close call.. ive clearly been labelled spirituallly weak, as nobody has called here to say hi or anything and its been 2 monthes now....their divine justice for me i guess.
i did see my study teacher a while back when she dropped off my memorial invite, and that was after a chat, nothing to do with the wbts...seemed like it was an afterthought on her part.. they all know about my problems with agoraphobia and panic.

Westboro Church Update on BBC
by cofty inright now there is a documentary on the bbc about louis theroux' second visit to the infamous phelps family.
it's a follow up to a similar documentary four years ago.. a considerable number of members have left in the last few years while the cult has become even more extreme.
louis has just interviewed young woman who has got out and started nursing.

All I can say is wow....
There way of life & thinking is sooo like the JW's. The only difference is them teaching hellfire & eternal torment in comparison to JW's teaching death by Armaggedon ...
There religion is immediately blunt about exposing sin to those in the world telling they are to die & go to hell, whereas JW's teach the same but hide it from Jo Public until they are well and truly sucked in & already in fear of Jehovah ! Jw's love to go on about how lovely the new world order will be & its only then when they captured the vulnerables interest do they then put the fear of god within them... overall outcome is the same neither wish to leave the religion out of sheer fear....
Being a fly on the wall to them just shows how bad our JW thinking was. I am feeling really ashamed right now :)

Well he's still missing.
Theres been a few crossed wires on here, so to set the record straight as far as I know he's not near any cliffs... (Phew) He just went to a meeting, didnt turn up & was reported as a missing person. 24 hrs later through number plate recognition he was spotted 150 miles away. He's now been missing over 3 days... Clearly as a recently appointed elder he's got some thinking he wants to do!!!
I think what a shame it will be when he finally faces the music. The displays of Christian Love will all come to nothing & become One Big Joke, as they turn the other cheek & shun him.... One minute he's the fine christian man and they all go rallying around looking for him. The next minute he's a Reprobate.... Get away from us you worker of lawlessness !
What is ridiculous is this 26 year old is a man. He has a mind of his own to choose to do as he pleases. Yet if & when he returns he WILL feel obligated to explain himself like he is a child....
The manipulation, control & possessiveness towards him has no abounds...

Welcome Snowboarder.
Keep hold of your Olympic dream & dont let them take it away. Work out how your can stand on your 2 feet financially, and move out. There is no way they will leave you alone to make your own decisions whilst you are under there roof. Get out, Stay out & realise you've had a lucky escape.
What ever you do, dont lose sight of your dreams and end up wasting all your years to JWdom. I lost 22 years, & I really wish I could turn back the clock.
Big Hugs because your going to need it :)

I know Gayle.. I was kinda hoping that he was one of those lurking on this site? If he is lurking I hope he has come to a satisfactory conclusion that there is life after JWdom ! Tee Hee

Belief in the Afterlife - where do you sit on the scale?
by jgnat ini am three-quarters through the book, the time paradox: the new psychology of time that will change your lifeby philip zimbardo and john boyd.
it is taking longer than usual because i am earnestly applying the exercises as they appear in the book.
which means i have to be ready to change my habits...but enough about me.. zimbardo's argument throughout the book is that a person's time perspective deeply impacts their choices and their ability to be happy.

Well the trouble with thinking we will have an afterlife is the belief that we go with the mental faculties we have today. This to me is illogical. We would suffer eternally the mental flaws inherited through our parents & there parents before them...
I cant see that were reincarnated either, so I dont hold out any hope there either ... Anyway hope is an assured expectation of the things to come !!! As theres no assurance theres no hope !!!! - God I hate that JW biblical expression !!!!
