Pioneer (why the title? why not say more hrs in FS?) Information board (why did they stop saying bullitin board like everyone else?) fallen short, Jezibel influence, concience of the congregation, fleshly brother/sister, self-abuse (are you kidding me?) and the winner is............APOSTATES ARE MENTALLY DISEASED

by Angus Beef inafter waking up and wanting to get out of this nightmare, the word apostate is really bothering me.

Angus B, You have brought out the downside of fading - the abject FEAR of being caught saying, doing, even thinking something not approved by the WTBT$. It is important to be cautious during a fade while tryng hard not to be paralized by fear. Maybe the worst that could happen if you were found out wouldn't be as bad as what you are going through now. I like your idea of getting out of the house and filling your time whith things you enjoy. I promise things will get better in time.

What does an apostate look like? Assuming you mean those of us who have left Watchtower, we look like your friends and neighbors. As a rule we have not turned to orgys, S &M, or Goth attire. We haven't started looking like "the oldest profession". However I do notice that I no longer shop for "sensible service clothes and shoes" I tend to pick livelier colors and styles. My hairstyle is longer, looser, and younger than when I was "in" several years ago. JWs I run into say I look great! Hahahah it must make them scratch their heads.

Bees that buzz around after dark overindulging on all that flower pollen, are tantamount to drunkards. Should we feel sorry for those bees who use such poor judgement?

Disfunctional families of JW's
by JakeM2012 inthis past summer has been rewarding and distressful, as some would say, it has been bitter sweet.
my wife finished her degree and is now working at a hospital, (as a janitor cleaning windows), lol.
oh, we also live in a van down by the river!.

Jake, i feel your pain. Since hubby and I are suffering similar issues I can offer more sympathy than advice. You have friends here that "get it".
