I agree with you Dawn. I would have been upset by what happened too. I think people are much more important than rules.

A VERY SPECIAL THANKYOU TO THIS BOARD!
by VioletAnai inthank you, thank you, thank you for making me see that i'm wasting my time being in a world of bitter, twisted, self-absorbed people and helping me to wake up to the benefits of being a jehovah's witness!
if any of you come back with the ol - the jw's are full of bitter, twisted, people (in the most stupid arse voice of course!
), i'll reply, yeah, but not as rampant as the rest of the world.....call me crazy if you like, i don't care, because it's my salvation i'm worried about not yours....you've thrown it away because you can't see the bigger picture....trials and tribulation will always abound in this day and age...it is proving like job that we are not discouraged by the trials that gains us the most happiness because we know the trials won't go on much longer and jah will repay us 100 fold for our pain....that's a damn good reward to me!

Now boyz, if V.Anai is drinking she's been at it since 8am this morning (Monday morning). I hit the computer about 9.30 am and she was well underway then. She's Australian - I guess you've noticed.
Btw for thos who don't know. Apropax (which Violet recommends) is the same as Paxil.

Attacking Newbie JW's
by VioletAnai ini was attacked here when i first admitted that i was studying with the jw's.
i also noted that blessed_something or other (sorry, bad memory) was attacked also....just because we say something positive about the jw's!
i think that is mighty unfair and defeats the purpose of you trying to turn us against the jw's.

:::::::::As far as I'm concerned, blaming a whole religion for pain is a cop-out.
Violet, It WAS the Jehovah's Witness religion that split up my family. It wasn't an individual. I could explain it in more detail but then you would accuse me of being too wordy.

ps if you wish to talk on the phone about any of this I am sure that I can surprise you by being a good listener. my private email address is [email protected]. -

Outcast, are you a local Singaporian or an expat? Just curious.

terafera - have you really thought about going back? Do you mind me asking you why? Your comments tell me that you are no fool - unlike some people I won't mention. Is it because of family pressure? I know I used to consider going back just so I could associate with my family and give my parents some peace of mind. But I couldn't do it - I couldn't pretend to believe it - I thought it would be too stressful for everyone but especially me.
I'm thinking that you haven't considered going back because you have lingering doubts?????

:::::::::I suppose the bottom line is those who can should jump in and reason calmly and kindly with the Jw defenders who show up. Those who can't, we need to sypathize with them too!
Hi Jst2laws, I do kinda agree with you. My original post in this thread to VA was I considered fairly tame and reasoned. (maybe I'm mistaken but that was what I intended). She jumped on me rudely telling me I like the sound of my own voice. After reading her replies to a number of people I concluded that VA isn't into reasoning. I'm not really sure what it is she's into. Do you think she just wants us to pat her on the back and tell her the JWs are great and have a good life? That's the impression I get from her. But how can any of us ignore what we know and pretend to be happy for her? Why is she here anyway? Some are saying she's a troll. Does a troll have 450 posts under their belt?
I have to admit that I find her reasoning power scary. She reminds me of myself 25 yrs ago. I don't know if she is genuine or not, but maybe I'm wrong. Maybe she will be happy as a Jehovah's Witness. I was for a while I think. Overall though the emotional cost to me has been utterly devistating.
I have read a few of your posts and I feel your pain still. It's not easy is its? I'm 20 yrs out and still have a lot of problems coz my family are JWs and I was one of the unlucky ones who was disfed for slipping away quietly. :-(

Violetanai's baptismal party - all invited
by Marilyn inbasically we're all open minded right?
so lets put aside our negative comments and throw a cyber-space send off for violet's up coming baptism into dubdom.

ViotetAnai said: Marilyn and the rest don't realize that I'm thoroughly enjoying getting their knickers in a knot....
Well shucks honey, we're enjoying ourselves too. As long as we don't have to haul our arses from door to door asking people to read inane WT drivel, we are prepared to be highly amused by you. I was wondering why you don't join a less demanding sect? Why not sign up with the Seventh Day Adventists? You'll get all the same benefits and none of the hassels. I would've said Mormons but tithing stinks.

She said she's planning on getting baptised soon and clearly our advice and negative thoughts are hurting her feelings. We don't want to be seen as party poopers do we? And as she so perceptively points out; "the truth hurts". I know I'm in pain. And I'm sure you lot are doubled up. It's time to drop all this nasty aposter sea nonenense and admit that we know it's the troof and we're on Satan's payroll and purposely giving her wicked advice. (sinister laugh; ha ha ha ha ha)
So bring a plate (and that's with something on it for the English) and a bottle (non alcoholic of course) and let's party for Violet!
