i think the hardest thing i ever went through was my divorce.
it was something i knew i needed to go through, and get over, but it was the hardest thing of my life.
i wanted the divorce, but it was so very painful.... what's the hardest thing you've ever gone through?

so now that you've left the cult, have you ever given or taken blood?
have your opinions and/ or beliefs in this area changed?
much to my suprise, one of my very good freinds who is not out still feels the way he was trained to feel.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HEAR A GOOD DISCUSSION ON THE SUBJECT (CASSETTE) CONTACT ME AT [email protected]
NO CHARGE, NEW WAY OF LOOKING AT BLOOD ISSUE.

i was amazed how, in a matter of days after leaving the org, my heart seemed bigger.
i was free to love people - truly love them as they were and without condition.
i was no longer required to sit in judgement of them because they didn't believe as i did.
INGENUOUS,
WELCOME TO THE HUMAN RACE!

mine would definitely have to be coming home from school and smelling hot pecan cookies that mom was just taking out of the oven.
MY MOTHER TOLD ME ONE DAY SHE WOULD NEVER TALK TO ME AGAIN IF...............I 'DIDN'T' GET 'OUT' OF THE WITNESSES!
THANK YOU MOM!

just a little bit about myself before you answer:
i was raised a jehovah's witness by my mother, who got "the truth" by studying with inlaws who were already members.
my father had been disfellewshipped for joining the army a few years before i was born, and has nevered returned to the organization.
FIRST OF ALL, IT CAN BE DONE (IE. KEEPING THE MARRIAGE TOGETHER) BUT IT IS NOT VERY EASY. IT IS A CASE OF BEING 'UNEVENLY YOKED' AND AS TIME GOES ON YOUR FRUSTRATION GROWS WHEN YOU BECOME VIEWED AS A 'NON-PERSON.
IN MY OWN CASE THE MARRIAGE DID NOT LAST. IN RETROSPECT, I THINK I MAY HAVE DONE A FEW THINGS DIFFERENT, BUT I STILL DO NOT THINK IT WOULD HAVE MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN THE OVERALL PICTURE.
SHE PROBABLY WILL NOT BE COMFORTABLE WITH ANY OF YOUR WORLDLY FRIENDS, WON'T PRAY WITH YOU, OR TALK ABOUT IMPROTANT SPIRITUAL MATTERS. SHE WILL LEAVE YOU ALONE OFTEN FOR CONGREGATIONAL THINGS, CO VISITS, ASSEMBLIES, SERVICE, GET TOGETHERS, ETC., ETC., BUT IF 'YOU' SHOULD VISIT A CHURCH , IT WILL BE HELL TO PAY OR A LOT OF SILENCE.
OF COURSE, YOU COULD VIEW THIS AS PART OF YOUR PERSECUTION, BUT AGAIN, IT IS NOT EASY. IT IS BEST TO TRY TO STAY TOGETHER ESPECIALLY IF LOVE IS THERE BUT BE PREPARED FOR A LONG HARD LIFE.

i thought this would be a fun and mentally healthy question to ponder!
i feel better already just to think of this possibility!
for me, before giving away alot of it to charities i would first buy a couple of gorgeous houses strategically set in beautiful surroundings where i could travel throughout the year and avoid harsh winter temperatures.
I'D BUY SOME NEW 'JUMPER CABLES'!

i'm at my daughter's home just north of houston in the woodlands.
she's going to help me get social security disability.
i've done all i can to help other disabled people.
GOOD LUCK ON TRYING TO GET THE SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY. I UNDERSTAND IT CAN TAKE A YEAR OR MORE AND YOU WILL DEFINITELY BE TURNED DOWN THE FIRST COUPLE OF TIMES. WITH A LAWYER YOU MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE BUT DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH.
DIDN'T WANT TO DEPRESS YOU ANY FARTHER, BUT THEM APPEARS TO BE THE FACTS.
