  Life Never Ceases To Amuse Me, What Is My Role?

  by ÁrbolesdeArabia in

  i get a letter from a long lost family member requesting money to help someone who helped destroy my relationship with my father before he died.

  dad believed the lies this drug addict spread, and i was out of state on business.

  most of my life this person has brought nothing but evil and caused many problems that will never be solved in this world.

  Yeah. I think you know what to do. Don't let stupid people doing stupid things bring you down with their stupidity

  You've gotten good advice.

  Welcome. My sister told me she still loves me but it will be different now that I left. I hate a religion or anyone that tells you how you should act, feel or love. I wanted to scream at her "THink for yourself!" but I didn't. She and her husband and my mom seem to be comfortable letting others do their thinking for em. I was there once so I can't cast stones.

  Again welcome.

  i was sitting there in the dark and thinking what shadow looked like what, and what that noise was outside and you know what came to mind.

  what a wonderful time to think about demons!.

  maybe i am some evil person, but i just can not help but laugh when i read the bible or hear anything from it.

  We're both out 2 years now- crossroads

  this is a personal post, so be warned!

  this is what leads me to post today.

  during our first year out together, we had so much to share and to have in common, the enemy of the organization now, birthday parties galore, going out and making friends with people.

  and if not it really feels good to get this out of my mind and into words.

  I do something similar as this. From time to time I will write or type out what I'm feeling and then save it and read it a few times over a few days or weeks and then delete it or throw it away once I feel good about it. Sometimes its good to just VENT.

  It sounds to me like you and your wife are growing apart. The glue that held you together was the religion. You probably had the same interests in the org and now you two are rediscovering each other and yourselves. Maybe you didn’t have as much in common as you once thought. Maybe I’m way off but it almost sounds like in your gut you know something is wrong and possibly want a way out?

  This is almost the opposite for me and my wife. I feel we have grown closer since I left the borg and we seem to have more in common now then ever before.

  Trust your gut. Maybe seek professional marriage counseling and see if there’s anything you two can do to grow “together” instead of apart. Good luck.

  jwn is getting a lot of newbies.. if you are a newbie, what was it that started you posting here?.

  was it the "new light" on the "faithful and discreet slave" or something else?.

  The blood issue was big for me. And learning they "added to" what was written. Once I opened Pandora's Box I couldn't close it.

  What truly started me in looking outside of the org was the great lack of love for me and my situation. I went to them for help with alcohol addiction. 3 times they did nothing for me but slap my hands and announce from the stage that I was "Publicly Reproved". I started to question the scripture that spoke of "you will know my disciples if they have love among themselves". There is NO love among these back biting a-holes.

  New here

  for the record, i am not a native english speaker, infact i recently just started studying english about 18months ago.

  so apologies for any error you may encounter in the process of making sense of my logic.. i am from a small village in a destitute and war ravaged african country, 80 percent of people in my town live on less than 50cent in a day and myself included, no roads, no hospital, no public institution, no social welfare support, no national security institutiion, nothing, just tribal factions exchanging agricultural produce and i have always wondered why jehovah would have to put the preaching work ahead of a poverty eradication program at this desperate time of our existence.. .

  it was an emotional adventure on finding answers to that question that led me here.

  I never expected an harakiri-based ceremonial insult and a militarised verbal affront saddled by a rhetorical hand grenade. All I needed from you all is support and mutual understanding as fellow victims of spiritual euthanasia

  OK. Now I know your pulling our legs. We had a troll recently that loved to use the word "rhetorical" and rhetoric way too much. I don't remember his name. 18 months learning english?
