i know their is some interest in aussie rules football in the usa and other places ,( please inform me where else) they the afl are trying to extend their influence throughout the world .
so i`m just curious who on this board are interested in following this football code .. this weekend is the battle of the " birds" : sydney swans vs. collingwood magpies and wait for it, the hawthorn hawks vs the adelaide crows .
i`m just curious to know what, if any, interest is shown to this truly australian sport, is embraced by any nation other than ourselves.. smiddy.
Im an Adelaide girl living in Queensland, GO THE CROWS!!!! Is it weird to have backup teams cause I have the Brisbane Lions at no2 spot and Port Adelaide at no3. Maybe just maximising my chances of backing a winner?
I loved that winning streak the Crows had winning all them grand finals a decade or so ago!!
Yep a good weekend ahead.
Do you barrack for an AFL team Smiddy? Or do you follow the NRL like most other Qlders?
i'm curious..
Yes I dont want to give those creeps any power over my life and the relationship I have with my parents and siblings still in.
My life and the way I live it has absolutely nothing to do with them but eventually they will come calling and Im hoping to give them nothing...I think my Hubby will come out swinging the baseball bat though, so interesting times ahead.
Its true though, you can be a drug pushing rapist or a person who doesnt believe in the FDS crap and still recieve the same sentence, and of course the dubs will have an absolute field day imagining/gossipping about why you got DF.
Right now Im still going through some really angry stages of fading away where I want them all to get hit by a truck or blown away by a machine gun (mainly the elders) and also feeling massive resentment for my parents being so stupid to raise me in a fear based mind control cult that nearly ruined my life on many occasions.
i've been a little busy recently.
but in accordance with some of you (and against the advice of many of you)....i did send my 607 research to my fil.
his response is below.
Great facts 'outsmart' a really good read. I love how you ended on such a kind note. I hope he doesnt send this to the elders, it would be great if he could start to do some research to prove you 'wrong' and end up seeing TTATT.
so...the third and final session was pretty straightforward.
they basically asked some more questions about the first woman, before i got back with the woman who became my wife.
then they asked what seemed like nothing more than a customer survey of "how are we doin'?
Just read your story from JC 2yrs ago to now. Its an amazing read. Thanks for sharing SD-7.
Im so happy you have a little son that you can teach critical thinking skills to. I hope one day that your wife sees TTATT and joins you in freedom.
Your comments on this board are always enlightening and enjoyable and its good to hear the experience of a man whos been through so much cult crap and survived to tell the story.
they've df him...we all were following the judicial of raypublisher....jwstruggle....eric and we all are now awaiting the full video with full details.. this is a happy but hard time since he still has family in...let's try to strengthen him!
he surely needs it now.
give him encouraging words/pictures/videos!.
Eric I really applaud your conviction and determination to do the right thing here when you have been wronged in so many ways.
Im so damn angry that at this really difficult time in your life when your wife is trying to take you for everything including your precious children the elders decide to df you. I would have pointed out to the elders that this is how many people turn to suicide because they have just lost everything including their friends and family.
I know you are made of stronger stuff but when its all over and youre looking back I just hope you are still strong and determined and dont fall in a depressed heap.
We all care about you here and want you to keep venting as much as you like, so please keep focussed on telling your story, getting lots of time with your kids and getting back to an even more enjoyable life than you had before.
Your wife has shown her true colours and I hope the courts show her for what she is and also expose the stupid cult for what it is.
What really annoys me too is that the stupid dubs will be loving this new scandal so hopefully you can get it out there that your not just some adulterer but you have found out that the cult is a con and you wanted out.
Thankyou for sharing with us and I really hope it helps to come on here to chat and get support.
Ps- You are a great looking guy with a fantastic personality so you wont have any problems in the lady dept when youre ready to go out there again.
well i figured i should give you all an update.
they will be dfing me soon for apostasy.
it is not a huge surprise and i am not afraid nor "shaking in my boots", however i will admit it is stressful right now.
Awesome work Eric. Looking forward to the JC. I agree, I think you are brave. During my JC at 21 I sat there like a meek little mouse and the elders enjoyed every moment of their perverted sexual questioning. Ill never give those power hungry freaks that kind of control again.
Because the Australian Gov keep letting in these crazy muslims with their own hateful violent agenda. They hate the western world and want us all dead. All muslims need to stay in one country, hell they are even killing each other over there. There is no reasoning with extremists.
The one thing we need to do is withdraw our troops from the middle east and stop wasting precious lives and much needed funds on a war that no one can win.
hi my name is crystle.
( i dont care if my congregation finds out what i am posting.
i havent been "in" for ten years and i have already told severl members what i think and where they can shove it...:/) i am 27 years old, and a single mother of a wonderful 6 year old.
Welcome Crystle
Thanks for sharing your story. You are so strong to turn your back on the cult and to move on from your bad childhood experiences.
I would definetely seek out another counsellor/therapist to unload that awful negativity from your past and to give you the strength to resist your parents indoctrination of your precious son.

ok so i dl'd this book.
and i immediatly began reading it.
i am about 50 pdf pages into it.
This book was a huge eye opener for me. Not quite an athiest but it certainly put the bible into perspective. Its a good laugh, a shocker and finally helps you to see that the bible is a load of crap which is another step in releasing you mentally from the cult.
today i got contacted by a reporter.
he was incredulous that a parent would contact elders and not report a child rape to the police immediately.
i tried to put on my jw hat and explain the jw mindset to him..but it was like explaining color to a blind man.
bttt
