Conventions are great publicity.

Clean people, everyone clapping in unison. No one fighting. Some good, clean hypno-fun.

i was on facebook snooping on a former "friend" still stuck in the cult and he recently posted the following:.

"yeah i was looking at them [kids lighting firecrackers] out my window last night.

i was thinking, these people are so ignorant.

Not necessarily murder.

But conformity? Sure as heck!

Dress like us. Act like us. Join us. Join us.

this has already been discussed but i need to vent.. i just spent the most painful weekend of my life sitting thru this years dc.

what an unbelievably pointless, soulless and demeaning spectacle the assemblies are.

the three days were a blur of monotanous droning and brainwashing.

This is my first year not going. It's simple. You don't have to whine anymore. Just don't go!

FREEDOM!

OT - firstborn sacrifice, bloodsheed and cannibalism

by Joey Jo-Jo in

this subject is not much spoken in the wt community, or any other religion, how can they reconcilled a god that allowed all these things yet believe in the exact contrast that is jesus teachings?.

Knowsnothing

Do you mean literal firstborn sacrifice, or symbolic?

Bloodshed of animals? (don't necessarily view that as bad)

And cannibalism? Where in the heck did you hear that?

I am considering suicide...

under the wheels of a train.... .

i feel really bad.... i don't want to be in the cult anymore.... .

i was thinking about that whole meeting today.... .

Your social circle can be difficult to develop. I have a "worldly friend" that I've known for a long time. Even when I went to his house yesterday, I felt like I didn't quite fit in. Few people can understand our situation if they haven't lived it.

But, it takes time. I hope to be my own person, and have people accept me for who I am.

We can't offer you physical comfort here, but you are in our minds and hearts. We're here for you.
