I can go for that, it makes more sense than God is going to kill everyone. It would make the pastor in my old church pull out his hair. He really likes to preach that hell and get saved stuff.

All of the above and...
1. reading any smutty novel I want too
2. watching R rated movies without feeling guilty
3. Flurting without having to get married
4. never wearing a dress or panty hose again
5. smiling sweetly at my mother while I tell her that I am happier now than I have ever been, and watching her look confused
6. learning about different beliefs and enjoying it
7. no longer fearing demons around every corner
8. wearing religious jewelry if I want too
9. sleeping in late on Sat and Sun mornings
10. playing dungeon and dragon video games
Basicly just having a good time living in the moment, and not worrying about the future (end of the world).

I remember getting presents only once, my mom went on a trip and brought us back presents, wrapped in paper. Otherwise we were lucky to get everyday things, let alone gifts. And we never had parties. After all we might have fun.

I watched most of it, and learned things I didn't know. My son on the other hand knew exactly what the show was talking about, he has always had a scienific frame of mind. My sister kept calling me on the phone even though I told her that I wanted to see the show. I will watch it again when they reair it. One good thing about cable channels, they always show the same thing over and over.
When I was a kid growing up jw, we would not have been allowed to even watch the commericals for this show. So glad I don't do that to my kids.

Sex in the New Book "Learn from the Great Teacher"
by AlanF ini just obtained a copy of one of the new releases from the summer jw district conventions, learn from the great teacher.
this book is oriented towards children, and frankly, is a stereotypical piece of propaganda from the "faithful and discreet slave".
in some ways the book is incredibly revealing, since it has to break down a number of ridiculous jw teachings into a form that even jw children can swallow, and when those teachings are put into simplest form their ridiculousness is evident to everyone but small children and stereotypically braindead jws.

This book isn't being written for 5 year old, but the kids who are pre teen the 9 to 12 year old set. I won't let me son even look at it. I borrowed a copy from my mom, it is crazy. The demons are the basis of everything bad. Really sick stuff.

Repressed, Triggered and Recovered Memories
by Big Tex infirst of all, let me say that many, if not most, of my memories of abuse and early childhood were recovered.
some people feel that this diminishes my experience, or in some way denies what happened.
i suffered from major depression and was quite suicidal for 2 years before something happened to trigger my memories.

How terrible for you. I am sure that your memories are real, you have too many other people confirming it for you. I personnally have childhood years I can not remember, from what I can remember, I don't care if those other memories ever come back.
You are very brave to post this to board like you have done.

Family stuck in "the truth"
by YellowLab ini often find it difficult to not be able to share some of life's important moments with other family members still stuck in "the truth".
i'm talking about the things that other people take for granted in this world.
after fading away 8 years ago, i still struggle with having to turn off my feelings around my family, or keep quiet about certain things they might deem as "worldly".

I feel the same way. There are so many things I can't talk about, like the great books I have been reading about religion, or the friends I have on the net (all are xjws). Even small things like saying how happy I am in my life, and how blessed I feel is a shock to them. I tell them that anyway, just to see my mom give me the eyebrow. Having to keep the conversation so generic is hard. I really don't have anything to talk to my mom or sister about. So we talk about the weather and the high price of gas and my son's grades in school. Nothing that may bring an emotional response.
They just dont know what they are missing.

June 1999, my neice's wedding. I was so disgusted by the wedding talk, I couldn't wait to get out of there. I haven't been back since.
Also, the elders told my sister that if I ever went back they would have to have a meeting with me. Ooooh. Like I really care.
