i heard from a girl i got into contact with after i'd been out for 6 yrs or so that people said i was a lesbian. i guess showing up to a DC with my new short and bleached hairstyle translated into lesbian to my jw "friends" . i guess the guy i had with me didn't factor into their thinking. i've never really given a shit about what people think about me so it didn't bother me. i just laughed about it all. in fact it's quite funny now since i have had a few lesbian experiences hehe. and just a month ago or so, when i went to see my brothers band play, there were tons of witnesses there. i went with my best friend who is a lesbian. we both have our tongues pierced (i was not hiding my piercing nor my tatts) hmmm, wonder if the rumors started again hehehe. my motto: Fuck 'em! :)

Rumors that they spread about you. When you left.
by jerome infor some time now i have been reading numerous indivisual life stories relating to their experience with the jws and one obscure ( or at least not directly elabourated upon) detail keeps popping up.. it would appear that whenever a person leaves the organisation by da/df/ia that people take it upon themselves to start spreading "nasty rumours" about the person in question.. it always seems that so much of these said rumours that were frabicated and then propagated throught the local jw community that the poaster almost never seems to have time to goint any detail about what exactaly was said about them in detail.. i would like to invite the posters here on the board to shed some light on their experience regarding their reputation after leaving the kh.. it would appear that once disfelloshipped that the jw community must make it abundantly clear that the person is of absolutely deplorable character inorder to justify their inhumane treatment of the df'ed indivisual.
saying that there is no honourable way to leave the oragnisation this seems to be rather common place.. i am also informed that even if the df'ed person were permitted to return that their reputation within the jw community would never be the same due to the tarnishing of their name and the stigma attached to being df'ed.. i may not be entirely too shure about this one but it would seem that if while still in good standing should the indvisual to become "publicly reproved" or "marked" that this would also be an invitation for the local jw community to begin the same process of defaming the character of the person in question.. would anyone care to discuss your personall experience relating to any private information which became public knowledge after you left the jw community or any half truths that were deileberately propagated to tarnish your name in the vacinity of the kh.
and even worse yet blant lies that were imagined and promoted about you inorder to permanatently damage your character.. i would also be interested in who exactly you think were responsible for the iniation of these rumours.. was it the elders?

what a crazy article! i remember watching et as a kid and star wars, in fact we had all three star wars movies on tape. one movie i remember my mom and some other sisters commenting on was indiana jones and the temple of doom. when the guy pulled the still beating heart out of that dude's chest, that put them over the edge. hehehe

Wordly people, df'ing, my experience
by flower inthe bryant tragedy has really been stuck in my head and heart this week as i'm sure it has been for all of us.
it occured to me though that there may be some here or lurking that do not understand what made robert do what he did.
there may be some who think that his was an isolated incidence of severe untreated mental illness and have nothing to do with his being disfellowshiped.

Bryant Memorial Service Report
by seven006 init is hard for me to transcibe certain feelings into written words especially since i'm not what you would consider to be a real emotional person.
i have also mastered the art of rarely showing any outward emotional expression.
i will try and do my best to give you some of the feelings i experienced today through my eyes, so please bare with me.. i drove the hour to mcminnville which is a small town about forty miles south of portland.
