Hi jgnat,
How can a thread just disappear? It was called New Book Published. It had links to my website Phoenix of Faith, as well as other cool stuff. When I used to do searches, my name would appear in pages and pages of searches. Now most of them are gone. Has someone hacked the forum?
I would greatly appreciate if you might please check for me.

Never found the thread I was looking for. Maybe it has been deleted.
I also can't find the thread about me asking for my new name (from ESTEE to satinka). Maybe Simon or a mod can help.
Much appreciated,

being written by a poster here.
a woman, and she spoke of her youth, her father buring down the house, etc??
i would love to read that again, or read the next installment if there is one..
Hi beksbks,
Lovely to hear from you! I had a link posted about my book, but I can't find it in a search any longer.
I am now called satinka. My book is called "Phoenix of Faith" and it is available on my website.
No religion, that is not me who you located. Religion has had its day, as far as I'm concerned.
Cheers,
satinka
just had to post this link ... it is a keeper!.
marc latham captured the meaning of the great.
price that will be paid... by having association with wt.. >.
Well said, "to entrap the vulnerable!" and "To be a JW you have to be all three of those monkeys."
So sad. Yet JWs are taught that they are the happiest people on earth. What brainwash! So out of touch with their feelings that they "think" they are happy because they are "told" they are happy. Yet, a large fraction of JWs are on anti-depressants. Yeah, sure, "happiest people on earth."
There is happiness after leaving the JWs. Trust your inner guidance, otherwise known as conscience!
"there was a kid who turned down a college scholarship so he could pioneer.
how stupid!
i would do anything to have a scholarship.
Yup, smart girl! Smart parents, too, to encourage such "independent" thinking!
i finally came to the realization that i am ugly.
i'm 28 years old and never had a girlfriend.
women pay me absolutely no attention when i'm in public.
I just bet you aren't ugly. Perhaps you were conditioned to believe you are ugly because you can't measure up to the JW standard of perfection. But then, no one can.
Take it easy on yourself!

to be honest i figured until i received some pleasure, enjoyment.
in waking people up on their day off, there was no way i was going.
to pressure anyone else to do the same.

after some reflections i have come to the decision to disfellowship myself from here, permanently.
many interesting argumentations sometimes, thank you adamah for many clever reflections.
criticizing in a bad manner of members and arrogant "i know better than you"-attitudes is a part of it.
Mr Fool,
Most of us have felt the way you feel, about not fitting in. It is because if you were born and raised a jw, you, like a square peg have been squeezed mercilessly and unceremoniously into a round hole, all your life. Your body felt uncomfortable, yet it didn't stop your parents or whoever from squeezing. You had to do uncomfortable things your entire jw life, such as going to meetings, spend Saturday mornings going door-to-door at risk of seeing your classmates, talking a "different language" to try and fit into the jw mold. That uncomfortable feeling, comparable to wearing shoes that are too tight became the "norm" and you forgot what true comfort and fit was. Just the squeezing of you into that awful mold which was too small and prevented your soul from growing into something that you actually liked or heaven forbid, loved!
It takes awhile to get back to normal after leaving, or even trying to leave the jws.
Don't worry, Mr Fool, most of us here understand your discomfort.
Be patient with yourself. Come and go as you see fit. No one will tell you to stay away or don't go. You are free here.
Oh yeah, the freedom thing. The free will to do as you see fit, instead of waiting for someone to tell you what to do. You are allowed to be your authentic self here... Oh, no, don't get me started on that one!

question: how does the leadership of jehovah's witnesses instruct its members to prepare for the eventual elder care of its members?.
answer: it pretends it will never happen!.
is this responsible leadership or some kind of cognitive dissonant malfeasance?.
Terry, Terry, Terry. How soon you forget. Armageddon's coming any day now...any day...
any day...any day...any day...any day...any day now...
One day soon you will wake up and it will be here...any day...any day now...
Did I say that any day now, Armageddon is coming and no one will be old?
Skin as soft as in youth.
Any day...any day...any day...any day...any day now...
Any day...any day...any day...any day...any day now...
Any day...any day...any day...any day...any day now...
