  this has taken a lot of courage to post.

  my life with the jws has been one hardship after another.

  i am sharing this to help others see that jws claim to be loving and forgiving people while they are not.

  There are no words to express how your story made me feel.
  Cass, you and I share a hell of a lot.
  I have never posted my story here; I never will. But you are one corageous woman.
  My email is open........

  Love,

  well folks, it was a great day today in sunny wollongong (can i say that, ozzie?)!

  many apostates turned up (albeit belatedly, much to mrs ozzie's dismay!

  ) and after the mandatory exchanging of secret handshakes and gestures, the bbq began.

  Pris,

  I have no idea of what you refer to.

  My life has never been bliss.
  Neither am I ignorant.

  Please refrain from inferring such things when I beg to differ.

  Such a kind and warm soul. I could not help but return to your thread yet again.
  I also confirm Nae's words. You have the makings of a good writer.

  I am sure that one day in your life you will find such peace and happiness that you will feel able to put pen to paper and feel happy about writing of your life story.

  I wish you peace, happiness and above all, love.

  Hi,
  Glad you guys had a great time!!!!

  But I am totally confused. I do not care if Bethel sees my own pic and I have evidence enough to sue them big time......DNA evidence......they are after the "Kents" of this world....not us small fry.

  So what is the big deal.....I am just totally confused here.....????

  *Ana scratching her head* ....Glad you all had fun despite the confusion. Keep it up!!!!!

  Msil,

  You have sore eyes.........???? I understand.

  But the strength of mind and depth of heart you have will outway anything that comes in your way.
  You are a wonderful human being and a pleasure to know........

  Ruminations..whatever that means....

  by Deacon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i read with interest java;s post re: a therapists view of leaving a restrictive religion.. using my own experiences, and those of others on the board, it would appear that there are only two ways to go, and one path that has to be taken in order to make sense or order of the situation.. i had to ask myself and do some heavy research as to what i no longer believe and why.. this is my present understanding on the matter.. shunning is a defence mechanism for the protection of the wtbts in order to keep members in and neutralise bad press.. 1914 would seem to be in serious error as a correct date in the chronology.. dichotomies exist within the organisation as to the anointed of god, the governing body and rulership thereof.. continual guessing and speculation of dates throughout its brief history, is unscriptural, unbalanced and just plain deceitful.. the elder arrangement is not working.

  it is run on a set of cast in stone rulings from the governing body and proves no function other than to keep dissedents in check.... there is no real human love in any of the arrangements despite the usage of the words.. disfellowshipping destroys families regardless of the public message promoted by the wtbts.. disfellowshipping utilises, grief, sorrow, unworthiness, shame, hurt, physical seperation and unjust means to whip someone to their senses..or return with a broken spirit to be in servitude forever.. being a member of the wtbts is seriously ijurious to personal mental health.. i no longer believe that the wtbts has a clear direction from the creator, i no longer believe that the message of urgency is based on accuracy or common sense.

  i no longer believe that there is a common goal anymore, it has been surpassed by maintaining and increasing material possessons.

  Deacon,

  Great post from one of my favorite posters

  I might also add, I agree with your outlook entirely.
  Life is the here and now; not the "maybe".

  Dear Tatiana,

  There are no words that I can write that will take away your pain. Neither would I wish to. Kelly was greatly loved by you and for anyone to presume to remove another's pain is to remove the right to grieve at one's own pace.

  Tatiana, I send you love and hugs. My thoughts are with you. Kelly is also with you.

  Love,
  Ana
