  After Reinstatement

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i never had anyone close to me d'fd when i was still in my jw daze.

  but i know that once it happens, good friends are crushed and desperately want that person reinstated.

  when they are reinstated, there is a lot of (quiet) celebration.

  My Trip to the Unitarian Universal Church

  by NewChapter in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so, pretty much i no longer care to believe in a god.

  but, either because of my 20 years in a jw daze, or because humans just desire this, i miss the community.

  so, i went to a unitarian church this morning.

  Did you ever get stumped in the ministry?

  i got into a tiny discussion with a return visit about the cross.

  i confidently informed her that the cross was a pagan symbol not used by christians.

  the romans were pagans, so they used a pagan symbol.

  Funniest "guilty" thought

  by NewChapter in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in my jw daze, they were always warning that satan transformed himself into an angel of light, and he knows what to tempt you with, blah blah.

  an elder that studied with my ex told him that satan can't read our minds, so if we don't act on certain impulses, he won't know what to tempt us with.

  in other words, he explained, if you see a porn mag and pick it up, then satan will work with that.

  I dreamed I was outed on this site

  by NewChapter in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so i dreamed that i had pontificated about some-self important point or another, and someone responded to my post by using my real name.

  in my dream, i experienced all the emotions and ended with, "oh well, now i can put anything i want on my fb page.

  " obviously, i'm a fader, but no one talks to me anyway.

  so, i've been thinking a lot lately about the chinks in my "spiritual armor" and my journey from jw to atheist.

  i realize now it all started with a mastadon.

  i visited one of my favorite places, the natural history museum, where i stared contemplatively at lucy.
