Welcome Blackfalcon! I had heard about R Franz's book when it came out but refused to even peek at it then. Fast foreward to about 6 years ago when my hubby (Balaamsass) secretly bought the book, started to read it but made the mistake of not hiding it. When I found it, I threw it away without asking him. Then about 3 years ago there was a "last straw" that made me upset enough to take the rebellous step to read COC on line. By chapter 3 Iwas DONE with the WBT$!!. The book hit me like someone dumping cold water on a drunk, shocked and angry! Rays book gave us the courage to investigate the rotten roots of the organization and we left together after wasting nearly 60 years in the cult.

by Blackfalcon98 inhi guys, ive finally got a copy of coc from my local library, im on page 120ish and im really enjoying it!
the thing that gets me now that im enlightened is how little the rank and file know about anything this organazation does!
everything is so secretive and covered up behind a curtain.

I Waited Until My Wedding Night To Lose My Virginity And I Wish I Hadn't...
by Divergent ini found this article interesting & just wanted to share.
after going through my teenage years trying to be the perfect jw, i realized that trying to live up to the standards imposed on me have been for worse & not for better.
i was feeling miserable, repressed, unfulfilled, with a great lack of self confidence & self esteem.

I'm convinced that many JW couples would not end up getting married if they did a "test drive" first. It is a shame that sometimes the consequences of remaining virgins or celebate before marriage are so great. Miserable mismatched couples hurt the children they bring forth even more than themselves.PhilJoneslll Welcome! Tell us about yourself on a new thread ok?

I've had similar experiences running into JWs who assume I still believe and rattle on and on with the cult-speak. One couple recently ran over to me in Costco, threw their arms around me, and drove down memory lane. They are older and he is fighting cancer. I just grinned and bore it. Can I join you for a drink?

Words that irritate
by punkofnice ini have words that irritate me and not always without reason.. my latest hate is the word: 'solutions' as used by so many businesses in their title these days.
y'know, 'something innane business solutions' and such balderdash.. i loathe that word now.
arrrrggghhhhhh!
