  Hello

  just to say a big hello.

  i have been reading this site for some time now and have been very unhappy with some of the things emanating from watchtower head quarters in new york.

  the final straw for me is the upcoming watchtower study this weekend encouraging us to shun our own family members (our own mothers if need be) if they are disfellowshipped....a step too far for my liking.

  How was your day/ week thread?

  by The Rebel in

  this thread is for when you have to say something to get it out of the system, whether it is happy or sad.

  my reason for stating the thread is that on occasion some threads do tend to get a little heated here, and maybe this thread will enable us to reflect on the important fact, we are real people and not just dots on a computer screen.. i would love to start the thread with a bang, but nothing of particular interest has happened, only i do hope the weather improves as the climate i live in has been sadly chilly for the time of year, (if you get the deeper meaning).

  Well, I've had a vanilla week. Spent a whole day reading a thread on a forum about a person who faced a life changing dilemna. She'd been invited to the wedding of a lifelong friend. One of the group was a twice convicted peaodophile who's wife stood by him, and indeed had 2 children to him. It must have been bad because the authorities wouldn't let them live as a family. She was being harangued by the rest of the group for being too judgemental. She decided to cut of every one of the other 8 couples. It was strange reading the ongoing live thread, because it awoken something in me.

  Right I'll get to the point of my post. I'm going to send in my DA letter after a 13mnth fade. This is what I've rumminated this past week. That and the fact that I want to vote for the UK to remain in the EU. And I refuse ti skulk around.

  Thanks Cofty. I'm reading lots to increase knowlege and I even understand the infogrammes. Appreciate the part where Darwin was of his age. Like Newton & Einstein. New discoveries have left these scientists behind, especially in the fields of the quantum sciences. But, it doesnt in any way, shape or form diminish their major contributions.

  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.

  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.....

  by Andy Dufresne in

  2. friends

  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

  1. watchtower

  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.
