  Luna,

  You make me think of my neice. If only one day........

  Think of being on a ship. You and your husband are slowly but surely leaving behind the land of Dub.

  You can still see the people on the coastline clearly.They are still your " friends" in a way.

  But they will get ( are getting in fact ) smaller and smaller. One day what they say and do wont have any effect on you. They'll be too far away to notice.

  And whilst I'm on this analogy, remember this:

  ships are safe whilst they are in the harbour. But thats not what ships are made for.

  Have a nice cruise.

  Captain Picard.

  I was more afraid of the persecussion that I was assured I would have to face, before the bigA.

  Finger nails being ripped out, and things they could do with a red hot poker, are very frightenning for a child.

  Publishing cult.

  Glad you were just joking about the tetrahydrozoline

  An urban legend suggests that tetrahydrozoline can cause violent diarrhea if administered orally, such as by putting a few drops of Visine in an unsuspecting person's beverage. However, the actual results may be worse, varying from severe nausea and vomiting to seizures or a coma. Diarrhea is not a side effect

  Earl Grey is perfect on its own. I recommend drinking it from the very best cup you possess.

  attended the circuiit assembly today

  well i went with the wife today to the sunday circuit assembly.

  it is really sad to listen to the talks and see the many people that i know.

  one talk actually suggested that wisdow is wrong , to me it was just more support that we have all you need why do any research on your own.

  At one of my last assemblies a brother said:

  If you are serving Jehovah and are suffering, its normal: Satan is trying to break your integrety.

  If you do not obey Jehovah, and are suffering, what can you expect. True peace comes only from serving Jehovah.

  So its heads they win tails you lose.

  Did you fake a prayer at the dinner table?

  by fade_away in

  i was terrible at prayers.

  it was hard for me to talk to someone i can't see or hear.

  everyone else put their heads down at the dinner table so i needed to do the same or i'll look suspicious.

  Its been so long since I said a prayer. I remember that it seemed really strange the first time I ate at my mums and didnt say a prayer. I was a little afraid of what she was going to say, but she didnt say a word.

  No doubt she spent the evening praying for me though.

  You're All A Bunch of Bitter Apostates - Really?

  by Broken Promises in

  according to an ex-jw who still half-believes in the jws, we're all a bunch of bitter apostates that can't move on.. do you agree?.

  Jehovahs witnesses are not allowed to be different. They must all think alike, act alike etc etc.

  Here on the forum, it is not like that. People can say what they think ( respectfully of course ). Your friend doesnt seem ready to fully appreciate that. So he interpretes that as biterness.

  I've been on the forum for two weeks. I feel better in myself ( Mrs Picard has noticed too). It has helped me a lot, not just to be able to have my say, but especially to read the experiences of other posters. Long live "freeness of speech"and individuality.

  i don't know whether this has ever been asked, so i apologize if i'm repeating.. what did you do at the last meeting you ever attended?

  did you stay for the whole thing?

  what made you realize that this was your last meeting, or did you not know it would be your last meeting??.

  WT Wizard isn't the shredding theraputic?? We burnt everything that belonged to the dubs

  In a rage, I threw everything into the dustbin, just after my neice phoned to say that her husband said I wasnt welcome in their house. The hypocrite had his Df'd brother round often enough.

  I had a bad conscience afterwards though, imagining an experience " dustbin man finds "truth" whilst emptying trash".

  Wish I'd done the same as WTWizard.

  Maybe that could be the title of a new thread: " what to do with unwanted dub propaganda."

  Handling our fear.

  at the same time that i left the borg, my whole life changed, much more than i would.

  ever have imagined.. i was, i admit, a little afraid.

  that was when i heard this song for the first time.

  I wasnt particularly thinking of fear of leaving the Borg.

  But if you're born in, the real world can be a little daunting.

  We can feel like a fish out of water.

  An interesting tread watersprout. I enjoyed reading the experiences.

  I read up some of your older threads too. Hope you are getting better.
