Missing an old JW friend! :|
by TimothyT inhi everyone.. about 5 months ago i posted about how a sister and i were talking since i was disfellowshipped.
we are still good friends and we have such a laugh together.
however for the first time since i told her that i dont want to speak about anything to do with the organisation and particularly with regards to me returning to it, today the conversation came up between her and my dad when she came round for a cup of tea.

Tim-It is nice to see your post. It is extremely sad that this woman is trapped in a fantasy world of the JW making. It would be a nice gesture to send your friend a card, in fact is would be a really sweet thing to do. He probably misses you too, and he shares the same memories you do.
Take care,
PTN

Your very own Philly Kingdom Hall for only 500K !
by Balaamsass inneighborhood.
wedaug 82012home of jehovahs witness congregation could be your new homepost on end post on .entry-meta lew lew change here end lew change here last week, a reader tipped us off that this kingdom hall of jehovahs witnesses at 1235-37 federal st. was available for sale.. the building.
as opposed to numerous other religious buildings that have gone on the market recently, this building doesnt have any particularly compelling architectural or historical features that make it crucial that its appearance is maintained.

What an ugly, ugly building! No wonder they want to sell it. That fake stone on the front is hideous, as is the crazy 'porch' roof. Blah! I wouldn't give $5000.00 for this space!

Ditto with cofty. He would need to reconcile with you to prove he does 'forgive' you.

New World Translation Assaults on Language and Phrases that Always Wigged Me Out!
by DarioKehl ini listened to the august 4th episode of the healingxjws podcast where they interviewed a former jw circuit overseer.
he shared many great examples of how original meanings (especially poetry) were lost in this terrible translation.
it's worth listening to.

Dario-You are so right! If anyone would have ever told me my breast were like towers as a very young woman, I would've turned red with embarassment and run like a bat out of hell. If my brothers had been discussing my breasts in such manner, it would have been revolting. The SoS being called 'superlative' poetry always was gag inducing.
I too, have questioned the 'time indefinite' thing as being forever, as the word indefinite just means, un-defined. Infinity, means forever.
The term 'undeserved kindness' does make it seem like everyone is a worthless piece of crap.

Are you willing to put yourself through the emotional stress that will be forced upon you for that money? If you are, then definitely consult a lawyer. If you are not up to it, then just write your sister off, and never have anything to do with her again. Sometimes peace of mind is worth far more than money.
Whatever you decide to do, best wishes to you, your mom an your family.

Lost my best friend (man's best friend)
by Coffee House Girl injust wanted to write a tribute to my best friend whom i lost last week, it was one of the most painful experiences i have ever been through.
i have no children, my puppy was my child.
i got him from a golden retriever rescue organization when he was 2. he was recovering from a car accident, still a bit skiddish, but he chose me to take him home (the foster mom said that he never responded to anyone like he did me).. he was always happy to see me, greet me with a toy in his mouth, he never judged me, never cared whether i was "bad association", he was always there when i needed to smile and remembe that i was not alone in the world.

So sorry for Coffee House Girl, your dog was absolutely beautiful. I'm so happy that you had a friend when you needed one, and your memories of your time together will provide you with lovely mental pictures forever. I hope that when you are ready, you find yet another dog to make new memories and share your life with.

Joyfulfader-So glad to see you are getting tons of support here. It is amazing how going to a KH gives a person panic attacks. Panic has happened to me for many years, and was induced by going to the KH, and the controling strictures of the WTBTS.
It really is quite astonishing what the elders can and do get away with, I've seen it with my own two eyes too, though never really experienced the total lack of love you have. Whatever happen to "Love hopes all things, believes all things"? For them to call in the accounts servant to review whether or not you forged the letter from your ex takes the cake for wicked thinking, much less shows just how much the elders don't apply love believing all things, especially from someone trying to play by their rules.
Wishing you all the best.

Joyful-Welcome! I to have left while in my 40's. I too felt the relief of realizing 'I'm neve going back'. It truly is a relief. Regret accomplishes nothing, so don't let that linger too long, or else you may wind up in depression. What part of the world are you in?
