I'd like to welcome you too and thank you for sharing. You've had a painful life, but you've managed to realise at a young age what the org. is all about. And thats a good thing. Now even though it may take some time to deal with the pain, you can move on to better things and maybe eventually your mum too will realise that the org. is not what she thinks it is.

This board is a comfort to know there are others that have gone through similar experiences. I hope you enjoy your stay here.

friends

i moved into a new area several months ago, and my subscriptions to the watchtower and awake magazines expired.

(note: i'm baaad, not attending meetings in my new area.).

so it'd be easy to renew my subscription, right?

Self-Abuse

i was in the wts web site and decided to see what their search engine would do for me.

so, i plugged in the words "masturbation" and then "masturbate" in hopes of finding the famous 1973 wt article that dealt with the topic.

it returned no results.

A funny thing happened at the book store

by OrangeBlossom in

jw
friends

i recently ordered another copy of "in search of christian freedom" as i got rid of my first one (long story) and since it had been a couple of years since i read it, i decided to get another one.. since i live in a fairly small town, i decided to give a fake name, in case someone worked at the book store that might be a jw.

it was saturday morning (a time when all good little jw's should be in field service) so i felt it safe to go pick up my book.

i walk into the store and headed for the counter but was stopped in my tracks by an elder and his family.

But even the paranoid can sometimes be right about their fears.

Just because your paranoid doesn't mean the worlds not really out to get you. In this case the org.

I witnessed to the Christians last night--LOL!

thought you all would enjoy this.. i went to a b'day party for a friend who is a bible-thumper in the worst way!

(10x worse than most jw).. i'm sitting around like a zombie while everyone is talking about how "blessed" they are to "know christ" blah blah blah blah blah.. then my interest got peaked as one of the women started quoting scripture talking about how the reason her life is blessed is that her great great grandmother was a russian mennonite blah blah blah and the bible says that god will bless your offspring if you come to know him.

blah blah blah.. so i start asking a few well placed questions like "well what does that mean for the poor muslim sop whose great great grandmother was a muslim?

I feel such great sadness for anyone who rejects the truth.

Then feel sadness for yourself.

10 Things That You Never See At Assemblies:

by Englishman in

jw
friends

a mexican wave.. cheerleaders.. a streaker.. ice cream / hot dog vendors.. people standing up with their fist raised high saying "yes!".

extra time.. presentation of awards.. autographs.. booing.. the audience waving their lighters as night falls.. there must be more!.

englishman.. ..... fanaticism masquerading beneath a cloak of reasoned logic.
