  It's tagged onto the end of another post. Tha ks for starting this new post Koncept...I did wo der if it would go quicly lime David Bowie? Maybe not as anonymously, but not as much in the media glare as it could have been. He went up a notch in my estimation.

  RIP Prince.

  she was out cart witnessing (barf) and one of the people she was with claimed to have know prince, or meet him or something like that.

  well anyways...they or her or someone (they are all braindoogled) speculated or fantasized that since prince did not have any relatives or something or the other.

  David Bowie managed to get himself d3spatched out of the media glare. Maybe Prince will succeed too.

  RIP Prince

  Suppose I ought to introduce myself.....

  i've left a couple of semi-"humorous" remarks, but not yet said a proper hello....but firstly thank you, to all, for this site and all its comments.i have been lurking on this site for 4-5 years, awake for 5-6 years and seriously fading for the last 4 years.

  i am now "out" and widely considered "out" by the congregation but due being very cautious and playing a very long game, (and having a wife who understand the repercussions of blowing the whistle on the few viewpoints i have discussed with her) i have not been df'd of da'd.

  this forum has been a crutch and guide as well as helping me wake - and the humour many on here use has been a welcome relief.

  Welcome. That's a mighty long time to flog a dead horse. Now that you've discovered that's what you've been doing all that time.

  I noticed that same attitude last week with my visiting sister-in-law. Neither of them are JW's, but she works with a few. They're all nice people. Not an issue. But I asked her what they thought about the ARC and how the WTBT$ dealt with child abuse worldwide. Her attitude to me was dismissive & patronising. I registered it but moved on.

  I've just erased what I was going to add. But you've captured it in your OP. Ease up on the resentment though and channel your mental energy into living what's left of your life.

  This week's resurrection video, will it backfire on the wt?

  by prologos in

  the resurrection is supposed to be a joyous occasion?, if it ever happened!

  --well, this week's showing at the hall was the opposite, it was about death with violins playing in the background.

  a recently bereaved member, , full of tears, (like many others) could not contain herself.

  Muddy Waters,

  Condolences. It might be a few years old , but doesn't it have a totally different impact when your brain is deprogramming? I don't have a hope anymore, but remembering how I felt when I first saw it is tantamount to how I felt when I realised at 42 I'd been abused by a male relative! Freaking sleazy doesnt5come close to how I felt.

  This thread has just triggered something I'd forgotten. Back in 2013 at Mancbester summer convention. I got friendly with an elder and his wife. We found out that their son had recently been murdered, and I had lost my mum 6mnths prior. We bonded immediately.

  There was a video in the afternoon about the resurrection. The violin music was excruciating. You could feel it suck the breath collectively out of the arena. The wife shot out of her seat and bolted. I looked around. Everybody just sat like statues glued to their seats. After about 5secs I instinctively caught her up in the ladies. We hugged each other for ages. Sobbing deeply. I now remember how violated I felt. Like I'd been forced to confront or perform to a certain behaviour that I didn't feel comfortable with. I felt her grief more than my own.

  I also remember observing how a c/o behaved towards this elder's wife. I thought he was an ignorant tw**. I slipped her my email address, but she never contacted me. Aaah the memories. Golden, not.

  I'll take my chances with the "Big man upstairs" if and when A happens. Rather that than live my life full of despair and anxiety.

  I know lots who attend the KH in Farnborough. It's a beautiful converted cinema/theatre that houses 4 congns. 2 x up, 2x downstairs. I remarked a couple of years ago that this is prime location property, and I wondered how long they would be allowed to remain in it. Megga bucks to a property developer. They just looked at me. My younger daughter DA'd last month, so I've no way in finding out what's going down.
