How could anyone feel good about a paradise built on the bodies of 6,000,000,000 massacred people? How could you join this religion and feel like you are doing "the right thing", be happy about such a paradise, rejoice in its righteousness, goodness, and wholesomeness? I can understand being raised (forced) in it, but joining it?! Personal experiences/comments please!

I'm back ... now READ THIS
by Simon inwe've just got back from out holidays after travelling with 2 young kids for 24+ hours and logged on to see the same old people complaining about the same old things with the same worn out arguments.. the topics seem to be along the lines of:posters should be allowed to say anything they want.we want absolute free speech and seem to be under the mistaken illusion that the usa has it.there is mass moderation happening on this forum and censorship is rife.
... and so on.. all of these claims are utter crap as far as i am concerned.. now, i am not going to put up with people trying to stir things up and interfere with the majority of posters who want to use this forum properly and see me and moderation as the main topic of conversation.. keep harping on and you will be deleted.
harsh?

Nicely done Simon - if they want that kind of board, they can start their own. Don't worry about that 'free America' stuff, its a catch all phrase sometimes used to cover bad behaviour here in North America.

Man, I feel the experiences inside, physically, just reading everyones posts. I have a feeling most of our experiences are like an iceberg - the majority of what it repressents remains unexpressed. Where do we go from here? - J

My name is Jonathan.
I have a problem.
When I was 21 I left the org. Since that time I've made a new life. I graduate university next year, and plan on moving overseas to work and live with my girlfriend. So far so good, right? Well almost. You see, my whole family are very active Witnesses. When I left, I just wanted to live a happy life, which meant falling off the face of the planet for the last 7 years. Now, my parents are really old, and I'm not sure how much time we have left. I sense that they, as well as my older brother and sister, want to get closer. I feel a glimmer of hope. However, I still have a lot of mixed/highly unpleasant/want to vomit feelings about their beliefs. I'm also angry that we've never had the opportunity to have an open forum disscussion about Witnesses. I mean, how can we get past this? In effect, they are praying every day for our deaths! This is driving me nuts! Any ideas?
