  Somewhat embarrassing confession - my step-MOTHER and her MOTHER are PROSTITUTES who love badmouthing other prostitutes (in print).

  by Fernando in

  i was born in my step-mother's home and lived there for more than 40 years before walking out mid-2009 never to return.. because i have rejected her and her mother, they now falsely accuses me of also being a prostitute.. i have made great strides in improving my mental health after living with these seriously twisted and demented women for so long.. this is some of what they have written:.

  *** w80 5/15 p. 22 par.

  2 the calamity facing all religionists of the world ***.

  Fernando-Mothers can be the most toxic and mean people. I'm sorry that you are having problems with yours. Wishing you the best.

  This WT book allows one raised as a JW to do a critical review of the religion and elders can't go against it.

  i love this gem, it was taken off the jw.org website, it seems only material after 1990 is up now, but it's here, http://www.scribd.com/doc/5472988/the-time-for-true-submission-to-god .

  page 6, "the need to search for the truth".

  says this....and i couldn't agree with it more!

  Last night the one cool elder calls me

  by confusedandalone in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i figured he was going to arrange the committee and try to get me kicked out after the whole "big pile of books" labelled "take this shit".. well his call made me realize that more and more people ... elders included no longer take this religion seriously.

  after he told me he heard what happened he actually laughed and said i would never expect that.

  he then told me that it is apparent that i no longer want to be connected to the organization.

  It sounds like this elder is just going through the motions at this point. It would really annoy your self-righteous brother if you picked 'just want to be left alone', he would be miserable in his fury that you weren't disfellowshipped.

  Tech 49: the 3 F's...Fading, Field Service, and Friends

  here we are, the family and i, moving along in our slow journey to freedom.

  although they are unaware, for the most part, our ship is slowly veering off course.

  not enough to cause attention, not enough to trigger alarm bells, but just enough.. since the summer dc, i have watched carefully, as the new releases remain on the coffee table, in plain sight, not touched, more of a decoration that anything.

  Tech49-Interesting post, thank you for sharing it with us. Your writing, by the way, is very enjoyable. You might want to find some books on critical thinking to review with your kids. The books for older kids use scenarios on how to spot bogus claims in advertising, peoples' statements, situations and so forth. They have really helped my kids learn to think. Congrats on getting your wife on your side.

  this is the exchange of text messages i had with my super spiritual brother.

  it is sad... it is pathetic... it has helped me realize that i have no connection to these people anymore.

  i feel free today.

  confused-why don't you just wait until a disfellowshipping happens then offer them the money contingent upon your parents having dinner and conversation with you once a week for the next 10 years and consider that repayment. See if they accept these terms...
