  So you've successfully faded

  so i'm pretty sure my fade is complete.

  haven't stepped foot inside a kh in 9 years.

  but the concept of fading still makes me wonder.

  I dont believe in SIN

  Hmm, interesting thought.

  I am not sure if it is the actual concept of sin I dont believe in or just most peoples definition of what sin is.

  So we started at a new hall

  by Steel in

  when i say we, i just mean my wife.

  we moved to a community of maybe 20000. this hall claims to have 160 publishers but i have my doubts.. the most shocking part is there isn't a single child in the hall.

  we just moved from a hall with at least 12 kids under 10. watching the people shuffle out this morning made me think it was some dying denominational church.

  Pretty soon if your a young one and want to get married you'll have to marry your brother or sister, fleshly brother or sister that is.

  Plus, the brother should be a ministerial servant too.

  We cant forget that new criteria!

  A Short Life Story - Part 4 (Finale)

  by pale.emperor in

  a continuation from part 3, which is here: https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4807117397557248/short-life-story-part-3#!#4918071166763008.

  my wife had settled into a routine of waking up at 6am each day, cleaning (so no chance of a lie in for me or our daughter with the vacuum cleaner going), eating very little, picking the skin off her lips while she sits there in a trance obsessing over things that are out of our control and dont matter anyway.

  she never did return to work.

  I was impressed by part of today's symposium entitled ' Safeguard your children from what is evil'

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  well i have to give credit where credit is due.

  it was the part of today's symposium - build a house that will endure.

  the part i was most impressed with was 'safeguard your children from "what is evil".

  To be able to give a stirring talk after the world has forced you in to it is better than nothing.

  I guess.

  my wife and i went to a concert on friday night.

  there was a friend of ours there doing security, and she happens to be an exjw too.

  she sent me a message on messenger to inform me that my brother and his wife were at the show, not knowing that i'd be there too.

  Good for you Dub!

  You are living in a real way with of open, kind, honesty.

  Your poor brother and his wife do not feel they can do that as of now.

  Its too bad.

  Starting To Wake Up

  by Searching in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i suppose after lurking around for a few weeks i thought i might share my own personal story, as i think it would probably be a very freeing experience for me right now.

  to start off, at 23 years old i'm actually a third-generation jw, my grandparents were baptized (my grandfather is actually an elder) when my mother was only a toddler, she was raised as a witness, then of course, married a witness and thus myself and my two brothers were born-in's.

  growing up my mother was always very careful about what she taught me, all the good things for sure, about how we would live in a paradise earth and i could pet all the animals that i wanted and not worry about growing old, and she'd ask me who in the bible i'd love to see and talk with - my grandparents however, were a different story and the cause of i think, most of my childhood trauma.. they really drilled home the fact that we were the only people who were going to be saved, we were the only people that were going to survive and that everyone else was going to die horribly - that i shouldn't try to make that many friends in school because they would never be "real" friends unless they were fellow jw's and they would die anyway.

  Hi and welcome! Your life is just beginning in many ways. The clarity that comes with knowing the "truth about the truth" is wonderful.

  what a journey!.

  it was a year ago today that i was announced from the platform by brother paul "twofaced" castley that i was "no longer one of jehovah's witnesses".

  i didn't go to that meeting to hear the announcement because i already didn't believe the watchtower religion.. how was my first year?

  Beautiful post Pale E!

  I had the thought while reading your post that you are so much more ALIVE now. You are making other peoples lives better too by embracing your own.

  I am so happy for you!

  The Writers Curse

  by Coded Logic in

  1. social
  2. physical

  i've begun to suspect this act - this will - this compulsory muse which i call "writing" is, in fact, the illusion of catharsis.

  like a mirage shimmering far off on the horizon i gaze upon the unreachable waters of a quiescent mind.

  and far too often i've trekked through these shifting sands of unrefined ideas and abrasive conclusions towards that placid falsehood.

  Thanks Zeb.

  Honestly I'm pretty much done with this whole weekend. It has gone on since Friday so it's been five days of boom, boom, boom and I'm kind of mixed up with them throwing in a workday on Monday.

  Lets move on America. LOL

  so as of july 2nd my wife delivered by c-section our little one pound, three ounce daughter izabella.

  it was a very scary night that started with a decel and turned into multiple decels that greatly concerned the doctors.

  by early morning they felt the need to take her for her safety.
