  Actually, I named my god-daughter Arianna Jade about 13 years ago. I like that name!

  Others: Sheila Katelyn-Rose, my youngest daughter. Laura McKenlie who is my granddaughter. Natalie Aspen, my soon-to-be-born granddaughter.
  Other girls names: Robyn Renee, Jaime Beth, Jennifer Ann (the one argument to Mommie Dark's opinion which I in general agree with. My daughter hates her "overused" name, lol)

  Now, names which are unused as yet in our family but ones I personally like: Madison, Michaela, Ariel, Julia, Mariah.

  boys names: Casey, Justin, Slade, Stephen, Wolfgang

  Georgina as a girl's name is used frequently here in Oz, but I know it's not a popular name in America. FYI only.

  BEW's ..........Irrational Thoughts

  by LadyBug in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been having some pretty irrational thoughts lately.. its only been 3 months since we decided it is not the "truth".

  but sometimes i think we (my family) would have been better off if we had stayed inactive witnesses.

  the strain affects the whole family.. sometimes it feels like my whole world has fallen apart.

  ((((((((((((BEW))))))))))))))) What you are feeling is alot like what I felt at that stage of leaving the Borg. Time will help to get past all that. It's a natural reaction to leaving a cult.

  The hardest part for me was realizing how utterly "in the dark" I actually was while in that religion. You're so brainwashed, that you have to learn to live real life again, and it's like going from a baby to an adult. You don't know the steps anymore. A huge learning process, but well worth the pain and effort, believe me!

  I remember about 8 years ago, the "good ole boy" elder in our Congregation, (you know, the one who got his college education before he came into the Borg and now has a good paying job) stood on the platform and spouted this same crap.

  Now, you must remember that the majority of the rank and file never finished high school, thanks to the WTBTS and their propaganda machine. They would have absolutely no idea what was involved in higher education. So it would be really easy to convince them how much education they were getting when all they are allowed to read is the WackyTower and the Afake mags. They would think of themselves as highly educated. Especially with that smelder patting them on the head telling them so! Poor dumb sheep didn't know any better. Don't blame them, blame their oppressors, the WTBTS.

  Part II of Survey! Please Respond Again.Thank's.

  by Big Jim in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the first survey i asked how you were brought into the non-truth.

  my next survey is along the same line, however what i would like to find out is on the average how many hours you spent in the field service and were you ever able to bring anyone into the non-truth via field service or via incidental witnessing.. and how long you were associated with the borg?.

  thank you in advance for your input.

  Spartacus,

  Thanks for a very moving post. Your father wasn't insane, he was DAMAGED by what was done to his heart. If any of us were in his shoes, we might do the same. Who knows?

  BTW, I've been to Bastrop. I have a friend who lives there, and I was born not too far from Topeka. So I know of the places and the attitudes there. I'm glad you had the sense and the knowledge to see past your father's past.

  You see, my father hates blacks. With a passion. And he doesn't have ANY of the reasons your father had to excuse his belief and behaviors. He truly believes that the KKK posting which Kent posted is the correct one. On the other hand, my mother, bless her, never had a prejudiced bone in her body. My mother taught that to me, but somehow didn't get it through to my brothers. They are all racist to this very day. So I can understand where you're coming from.

  No amount of Progressive thinking can make up for what your daddy suffered. And I can't say that I blame him. I haven't walked in his shoes. I'm just glad you didn't continue to perpetuate the hate, as it would truly serve no purpose.

  Thanks again for the good post.
