  My story...well part of it anyway

  by kenny2 in

  2. experiences

  it has occurred to me that ive been here long enough and have met many of you whose company i really appreciate.

  i see people come in since i have been here and am inspired and impressed at the courage they have for giving their stories, their experiences and the freedoms they now have paid for by a cost that only a cult survivor can really appreciate.. so with that inspiration, here is my story.... i have very little memory of before i was 5. i do remember christmas morning one year to wake up to a ton of toys and that was cool.

  i remember having my stomach pumped once because i got into some kerosene and thought id pour myself a glass.

  Thankyou for sharing your story. I must admitt I can relate to you not being sorry your Mother's new husband's death.

  Just so glad you never died from the accident and that you're here among people that really care.

  Good reading! You have obviously put a lot of research into this.
  Keep it up.

  whipping or not whipping?

  by Julie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in light of the bru-ha-ha we recently endured over what began as and elder culpability issue gone awry, i thought i would present some words of wisdom written some time ago on this very board.

  apparently some poster had had a visit by some elders and had felt ganged up on.

  he described this as getting a "whipping", much like we have seen recent allegations of someone here being recently used as a "whipping boy" for another poster.

  Julie,

  Thankyou so much for sharing your involvement with the JW's. I had no idea and was merely curious. I had wanted to ask before but it slipped my mind, especially during the Christmas, New Years period.

  But when you write

  Ladonna, you seem to be a bit irritated that I was never a JW and you seem to imply I cannot possible relate to your "issues", therefore having no business posting here.

  I am completely at a loss for words.

  Julie, as you are well aware, there is NO vocal tone to words that are typewritten. I had no malicious intent and am saddened to read your accusations.

  I hope this meets your criteria Ladonna for me to continue associating with you all. I think it is common knowledge that those outside of the WT actually know more about it than those in. I mean how many loyal JWs do you think know about the UN thing? I am horrified at what this org. does, was extremely disappointed to learn the truth of it too. Lost what I considered a valued friend too.

  This was cruel and senseless Julie. I can hardly believe you are writing this. Guess I don't want to believe it.

  Despite all of that, I am truly happy that you are doing so well due to all your learning at H2O and this forum. You are correct, these are excellent avenues of learning. All the best in your chosen field.

  As for the UN mess the WTS has themselves into, they know about it alright, they just hide their head in the sand like Ostriches. (sp)

  my younger sister ran up to me in the yard, tears running down her cheeks.

  "it's mum .. come quick" she pleaded.

  i ran inside and there was mum spread out on the bed, pills and empty tablet bottles all around her.

  Ok you guys, you may not want the hugs or kisses, but you got 'em anyway
  Seeing as you don't have my passcode, you can't take 'em away either.....!!!!!

  I am so sorry you have "all" had to suffer so much. Sometimes life sux, and I don't mind admitting that.

  For any others that have gone through the same thing with loved ones........hugs and smoochies to you too.
  No one should have to suffer this kind of pain.

  Love,

  Julie,

  I ask the same question as Magog. What is your point? What are you getting at? What do you hope to acheive?

  I would also like to know, if you don't mind sharing, how you could relate to much of what we feel when you have stated in one of your posts that you have never been a JW?

  Dear Mandy

  by cellomould in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  of course this is extremely personal but i am sharing it with everyone on the board anyhow.. i would like some feedback about my approach in this letter:.

  1. how i convey my feelings about leaving 'the truth'; do i scare the reader away?.

  2. should i mention armageddon at all?.

  Dear Cello,

  I have come to know you as a kind and caring young guy with a heart of gold.

  The letter you have outlined for your former fiance` is a wonderful show of unconditional love.
  I can tell from the phrasing that you searched your heart for the correct words to say.

  You have offered her "unconditional love", and whilst this is a great thing, are you prepared to marry her if she left the organization?

  You have stated that she had felt like leaving and stayed because of you. What if she left?

  Do you love this woman?

  I personally would not mention Armageddon. I would not press any JW buttons with "Mandy", as I feel she is already vulnerable. You may well end up distancing her more. You say she is "in emotional pain". So I would NOT use her religion. Not in this case.

  What made me really happy was that at no time have you used any form of manipulation in this letter.
  You have stated your meaning, reasons and wishes as fairly as could be done.

  I have nothing further to add, other than I wish you all the best, Cello. With Mandy, or with your life and eventually another love.

  Love,
  Ana

  A Beautiful Mind

  by LB in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  i see quite a few movies during the year but this one really stands out as the best i've seen for a long time.

  russell crowe was fantastic and no longer will i remember him just as the gladiator.

  jennifer connelly was more than the attractive girl in this one.

  LB,

  Thanks, I always like recommendations on a movie. Seems silly to not listen and go and see a dud instead.

  Larc,

  Cucumber and salad cream could work wonders if used properly.
