JW Bombed
by LouBelle inon friday the 1st of march, i went to my cousins 21st birthday celebration - she has never been a jw.
my other cousins (twins) were introduced by my mother to the faith over 20 years ago (they are now 38) and got baptised when they were about 19. they both weren't that "strong" in the faith and married "worldly partners" and stopped going to meetings.. they knew i had left and i presumed they knew i was disfellowshipped for apostacy.. at the party the one twin came over to me and we chatted about life etc and she says "oh carl is going to start studying" - i looked at her a little odd and asked what it was as he already had a financial degree.
"no silly, he is going to study the truth" my face must have been a picture and in a very high voiced squeaked why would he ever consider that, he is an intellecutal guy....... she continued about how the people had changed and were so much better than when we were younger.

Sitting here having coffee, waiting for hubby to get back from D2D so we can go out for lunch when he gets home. This will probably be his only time out this month, getting it over with early...at least I hope so. It is wonderful to not have to race around early in the morning, in a groggy state, trying to get to the FS meeting on time. The FS meeting here is at 9:00 AM, the poor householders are not even up and dressed at that hour, especially in the cold winter weather.

rawe-Have you thought of calling local news outlets in the area prior to the event? There are probably boat-loads of Mormons, as well as JW's, that would show up, plus you just might get televised publicity.

Lady Lee, what an inspiring and thought provoking topic. I daily battle mental negativity, it was served up regularly while I was growing up. I realised I did not want to be as miserable as my parents, and had to change myself. It will always be a struggle, as the negative mental neuron pathway, but knowledge is power, and when I see myself acting negatively, I do my best to exchange the acts for something positive.

Getting my first tattoo
by akafreelife inwell on wednesday i am going to be getting my first tattoo.
i have had this particular piece of art that i have wanted for years but was too afraid to put it to skin as it will require a great amount of detail.
but i finally decided to go for it.

akafreelife-knowing your family history, do you need to worry about allergic reactions to the ink?

Hi! I'm New Here
by alecholmesthedetective inhi there, as was suggested to me, i'm starting this thread to say hi to everyone.. my awakening began recently, after the new light on the 'slave'.
i felt it didn't add up and went to check and found out ttatt.
for a while i tried to find evidence of whether the wt might still be god's organization, i needn't say i couldn't.. i had already resigned as a ministerial servant and a pioneer, had already had several issues with the elders and did not put up with their nonsense for a long.

Not to be afraid of life...she is afraid of everything, and is a constant downer-she will see the bad side of anything!
