  Local cult exiting groups - a wish

  by cog_survivor in

  reading some of the exit/fader stories my heart breaks.. i wish there were some kind of local support groups for people who want help in leaving behind their cult lives.

  living in the heart of the midwest, there really isn't anyone to turn to.

  i would have loved to meet with others in a safe enviroment to work through some of the issues.. all the implanted fears make people scared to turn to other religious organizations.

  Protesters at conventions / assemblies...

  first off, i can happily say that this year i did not attend a single day at this years district convention.. on saturday during the convention, my wife asked me to drop her off after lunch and later pick her up when the convention was over.

  while i was dropping her off, i noticed a single individual holding picket signs protesting the convention.

  it said things like, "was the ransom sacrifice worth it?

  Jesus is going to kill you.....when he come back!

  these are the exact words from the mouth of a 7 year old boy to his father , namely me (the father).

  yes i am a non believer but also very concerned that his mother, an active & obsessed jw is filling his mind with this sort of thing.

  alarm bells are ringing in my head because last night was not the first time he said it.

  hey, I know this may not help, but this is a "long term" project, no solution today, but work on it for the future,

  just like what Katie Holmes did to Tom C. ......have a plan and work on it till the time is right.

  ...if these congregations sound familiar to you, we may know each other.

  feeling that feeling again to want to connect with others that have left...and are now living... feel free to pm me if you wish to remain incognito~.

  (guess that means i'll have to check those pm's lol).

  I remember a fervent group of Protesters in WA State, they really hit it big time in Tacoma,

  i used to think why do this? I realized they dont golf . But haven't seen or heard of them for awhile, and then I thought..."maybe they took up golf"

  Who else, besides me?

  2. experiences

  over the years on jwn i have often found myself hunting through posts of newcomers, hoping against hope i suppose, that the newbie would be one of my former friends in the local congregation down the street.. i just find it hard to imagine that not a soul among these people has taken the courage to investigate their religion and leave like my wife and i have done.. as the local 'active apostate', i also supposed that at any moment some of the 'brothers' would come covertly to my home, knock and say something like " i am out - please let's talk about it, why i left, why you left.

  but, none of the above has ever happened.

  i did come across a local former jw here, from another congregation, and we have become good friends over the past few years.

  I like that Idea, I am from NC too

  But also have had "friends" in other places. Always wondered why people stop coming to the KH's now I know....I feel better knowing, at lease my therapist thinks so .

  Penn State pays for covering up Sandusky crimes, BIG TIME

  by talesin in

  1. social
  2. current

  this sends a clear message to other universities who may be harboring child molesters.. excerpt:.

  the sanctions by the governing body of college sports, which capped eight months of turmoil on the central pennsylvania campus, stopped short of delivering the "death penalty" of shutting down the sport.

  but the ncaa hit penn state with $60 million in fines, ordered it out of the postseason for four years, and will cap scholarships at 20 below the normal limit for four years.. other sanctions five years' probation, and the ncaa also said that any current or incoming football players are free to immediately transfer and compete at another school.. ncaa president mark emmert announced the staggering sanctions at a news conference in indianapolis.

  don't worry, i'm not loosing my mind.

  but whether you are christian, agnostic, atheist, thor-worshipper or otherwise, just pretend with me for a moment.. armageddon comes and wipes out wicked people.

  there is a resurection and some kind of test and the ones that pass make it into the glorious new world.. how long would it last before a revolt?
