Please Respond To Survey! 25 more needed please.
by Big Jim init seems like to me the majority of people who are in the truth, are were in the truth was a result of either a family member are a friend witnessing to them and not many seem to have been found in the door to door work.. from my years of associating with the borg i cannot recall many coming in the truth from the door to door work.. how were you sucked in?
for me it was my aunt who has now even though i am not disfellowshipped decided to write me out of her will to the tune of about $150,000.00 (maybe i should hang around a couple more years)dont think i will.. please respond .
thanks.

I was taken in by the door to door work. They seemed so nice, and I was looking for answers. Of course I was stoned (smoking weed) the first time through the Truth Book!!! We had to go through it again.
It took me 4 years to finally get baptised.Wish I could do some of it all over again!!!!

Assembly Musings
by TD induring the sunday morning discourse, "jehovah hates the course of treachery" the following statement was made at the 2001 teacher's of god's word district convention of jehovah's witnesses: .
"are we personally alert that no unrighteousness be found on our lips?
for example, can our family members, including our mate really trust what we say?

I always hated the conventions. I had a lot of sarcastic thoughts during the talks.
It seemed like the only one expected to practice what was taught there was me. People forgot within 30 minutes of leaving the convention what they had just learned. Or it always applied to someone else.
The last convention I went to I wanted to stop and talk to the apostates that were standing there with their own message talkin on the megaphones.
I'm so happy to be away from all that crap!!!RC

advice needed--please respond
by lisaBObeesa inthis is a question my df mother would like me to post for her:.
would it be morally right to go back to the jws, even though she doesn't feel it is god's org?
she would do this in order to speak with her life long friends and her youngest daughter, all of whom are quite emotionally distraught due to her dfing.

MomBobeesa,
I'm sorry you have to go through so much agony losing people you felt were true and kind friends. I beleive you will find some great friends here. I know what it feels like being df'd and not having anyone to talk to. When you are faithful to such an organization you don't associate with "worldly" people, then when you find out that the people in the org., aren't your friends, you have nobody else to turn to. I'm so glad you turned here. I'm so glad you have Lisa to bring you here.
I was df'd about 6 years ago then reinstated. The beginning of this year I realized that the Org., was not for me. Since then, I have married a wonderful man, and started making true friends. I am not df'd or anything, but I now know that even if I was it would have no impact on me.
You may find that one or two people will contact you on the sly. They may be your true friends. Once everything settles down, your daughter may start talking to you again. Just be patient. As for the rest, if they are you're friends, they will let you know.
I just want to say, welcome. We will certainly be your friends.RC

Just don't care?
by rollercoaster inwhen you are coming out of the organization do you ever get to a point where you don't want to discuss religion, and you don't want to think about death and the bible?
i think i'm just riding along right now.
i'm taking it a day at a time, and seem to be very outspoken to my family.

Thanks for your response to my questions. I appreciate so much what Logical said. I feel like I have been so lied to, and wasted so much time.
I was going through my storage area in the garage yesterday, and found boxes of books. I want to throw them away, but it's almost like grieving the loss of a friend. (some friend!!). I want to clean up, but seem to avoid it.
Waiting; we will be married on June 22. It's so strange to still worry about "Jehovah's disapproval". I have been so ingrained with the idea that everything in my life will go wrong because Jehovah will not like what I do. I have to keep reminding myself that he is a God of Love. He wants me to be happy.
We did get our marriage license over a week ago. We're both pretty nervous and excited.
I have made connections with my family again. Not sure it's a good thing yet, but since I left the Org., I have been free to make my own decisions. My family is happy.BUGEYE; You are so funny!!! Well I guess the idea is to "get in touch with your feelings" since the Org., actually teaches you how to stuff a lot of feelings so you don't feel guilty about shunning, and thinking you're better than everybody else.
Anyway, it's a beautiful day here and I have a lot to be happy about. (Just forgot what it is)
Thanks everyone!!!
Hugs and love to all.

I seem to looking for confrontation at times with people I'm not happy with.
Will this pass? Will I "get over" this?

Oh Wasa,
Does this mean I have to share the lemon drops with others? You make such tasty ones. And you have been training me on the whip!!! Can't wait to show everyone what I have learned. It is great training for my wedding night.
You know I will be there for the party with my...oh, I forgot,what will I wear? I have already worn black this year, to old to wear white, and can't wear shorts cuz of the sun.... I'll wait for suggestions.
Let me know what you want me to bring. I know you will provide lots of fun for everyone!!(hehe)
