Thanks snowbird. Wasn't it you that clued me in that an "article" about sex toys was a spoof? What a rant I posted. I still crack up over that. I didn't even know what ROFL meant. Love this site. Love all the people!

Idle question about Abraham and Human Sacrifice
by corpusdei ini don't have my usual resources in front of me, so i can't fact check this, but there's been something bothering me.
one of the things mentioned quite often as evidence of the wickedness and evil practices of the false religion that surrounded ancient israel is the practice of child sacrifice (baal and molech being the frontrunners as i recall).
but ...... didn't god tell abraham to kill his own son isaac as a human sacrifice?

I just always thought it was cruel. I didn't have websites like this for support when I left. It was one of the things that I couldn't argue for. I just thought it was mean. Anyway. Thank goodness for those awful stories back in the day.

Be well and don't re-injure, like outlaw said. I work for surgeons that do these operations. Always allow yourself time to heal. I'm so sorry to hear your struggle. I couldn't agree more about the blood issue. How can a man sooooooo long ago write a scripture banning a life saving treatment that he had no idea existed? And isn't blood....blood? All the best to you!!!

"Your life can be your letter and make it as full and happy a one as you can project to them."
This was sent to me on another site similar to this one. I am so thankful to everyone on this site and others. I don't know that I could have made it through the last few months without all of you. But this quote really hit home. My life WILL be my letter. The clouds are clearing. Time to woop it up. -

This has been the most traumatic week of my life. I can't get out of bed. I need to burn this bath robe. I want to cry every other minute. My mom was/is my best friend? I don't know that I can get over what happened on Sunday. I don't know how to explain it. I have been out of this s*** for years but she just crushed me. Oh well. I know I'm still much better off than most. I'm just trying to remember that and get my head straight. I had no idea this would have this kind of impact on me. I was FINE!!!! F****** witnesses.

Convention Weekend
by Lunatic Faith ineverybody in my area (jw's) is at the convention this weekend...and i'm not.
i didn't realize how really great i would feel when this weekend came.
i'm not sitting in a crowded coliseum, on uncomfortable chairs, sweating in my nylons, creating new blisters on my feet, juggling note books and bibles and wishing all the people around me would disappear.

I had a wonderful weekend until my mother came home from the assembly completely batshit. That being said, there is nothing I miss about assemblies except for the new clothes.

Tonight I disassociated myself - after 24 years - had 2 hour meeting with Elder
by Intel ini am now sitting at home.
my wife left with my little child.
my fault (i dislike the word "fault", but don't have a better one right now).. it feels strange, relieved and free, at the same time it was all very strange.
