the remarkable sister pettifog.
this morning i arrived on my bicycle at the local starbucks early, before the intensity of the texas sun boiled to full blaze rendering me a soggy, wrung out mess.. i took up my perch on the outdoor patio in the shade, eager to work on my book of short stories.
this will be my 3rd book and i’ve been enjoying the process daily.. .
This is one remarkable story. Wow. Just amazing.
I cant imagine how it must make you feel Terry, seeing as you lived it and directly knew her.
It is so encouraging to think that an older persons mind can still function in a way that they will be true to themselves when faced with the dishonestly that is the Organization.
"it was so beautiful, we are truly blessed!
now, they also plaster these affirmations all over social media, "this is the best life", “so blessed”, “best convention”.. why the gushing?
have you ever heard anyone say, “mmmm it was ok”?
It took me years to figure out the warm wonderful feeling I had after a convention was really relief that it was over!

sit a spell and listen to my story.. i once met a fella unlike any other.
let me tell you about the man--a strange and wonderful guy--one of a kind--but housing two personalities at the same time.here’s a quick list to capture your interest.. .
What a great story!
I remember that movie "Billy Jack" as a young impressionable kid. I thought he was awesome...a real hero!
"Listen, children, to a story
That was written long ago,
i was a 4th gen born in.my adult children were the 5th.
my mother was one of the newly'anointed' we have all left.
i have been lurking since october.i was really too terrified someone would find out who i was and what would happen.well we are out now so here is a part of my story.
Hi and a warm welcome to you.
Im so sorry for what you all have been subjected to but am really glad you are here.
hello - let me try to explain.
a couple of months ago or so i joined this forum, then shortly after checked out jwrecovery which seemed a better fit personally and joined them.
started to feel comfortable there and they closed, and i pouted for a while.
Hi!
Welcome, and you have a great name...you are SO right...life is NOT over!
hey all, .
this is my first post.
i haven't been out in service or to a meeting in over a month.. i realize now that i've been having serious questions for years and many articles and talks have greatly disturbed me over the years.
Hi Savan,
You have come to a good place. Extremely nice people here and lots of support of the kind that isnt conditional like it is in the Organization.
Glad you are here!
i just turned 41 today.
last year was my first celebration at 40. half my life is lost to this cult and i celebrate by almost losing my job.
one of the only things i have left.
Happy birthday azor!
You are a great dad and I hope your day was special.
PLUS you are young! You are not even half way through your life yet!

I admire your passion for what you feel and your commitment.
I am not made of what that takes but I do admire your efforts.
this is what happened.
i had a sore tendon in my wrist.
i could work with it, but nevertheless the pain was there.
a couple weeks back my husband got a phone call from his brother, whom he hasn’t spoken to in nearly 17 years.
well i take that back, he did speak to him at the family reunion, asking him to leave.
my husband basically told him to f off, he would leave when he’s darn good and ready, but he didn’t use the word darn.
Happiness and a well lived life are the best revenge.
If you and your husband have a good marriage (and it sounds like you do) then get a good nights rest and arrive at the Kingdom Hall for the service looking glowing and contented.
You and all of us here know your sister is not happy. No Witnesses are happy unless they are happy for some peripheral reason other than being a JW.
Shes miserable - youre happy. A picture worth a thousand words right there!
