I am glad you found JWN. You will find lots of support and seasoned advice. I feel bad for your situation. It is difficult when someone else accuses you of things and they are guilty of much worse.

I agree with Flipper that it may be wise to distance yourself from your sister.

Iamwhoiam expressed the first thing that came to my mind also. Many times people will deflect scrutiny from themselves by shifting the focus to someone else.

Hang in there, this is a good place to vent your frustration and find a compassionate ear. Leslie

Finally Awake, they just can't stand it when you take their power away, especially when you're a woman who's not cowering at their supposed authority.

Loved the names of various congregation members, laughed so hard I got an asthma attack (worth it). Sounds like my old congo too. Such a bunch of phonies. Leslie

i'm a long time lurker, first time poster.

i think i have a similar story to others who were brought up in the so called "truth" but after reading so many stories i thought i'd finally get around to writing mine:.

like i said, i was raised into it and almost my entire immediate family where (and for the most part still are) serious members.

Big Welcome JoelCW Thanks for relating your story. Happy you 'saw the light' before wasting your life.Leslie

Jehovah's Witness DC in Buckingham, Pa and the societies user friendly Hotel Arrangement

by DaCheech in

jw
friends

this past sunday, i was browsing in the kingdom hall bulletin board.. i noticed that the list of "approved" hotels for the dc was up there.. noticed that in the assembly to take place in pennsylvania, only 2 hotels were in pennsylvania................ #3 on --> were in nj.

so, i get on my smart phone and gps a route from hotel #3 in princeton, nj to buckingham, pa.. my little gadget tells me that there is 27.9 miles of driving and 46 minutes of traffic.................... do these sheeples have the stupidity of driving this far to an "approved" hotel?.

are they blinded enough to not look for the 300 or more hotels in the county?.

Da Cheech the 2nd time we tortured ourselves going to Montreal we stayed in the Societies campground.

So glad I never have to attend one of those things ever again. -Leslie-

Feel the Goddamned Love

by AK - Jeff in

my mil of 38 years - who has not spoken to me for the 9 years since i left her cult - died on sunday.. today, as a favor to my sil who has spoken to me very rarely, for the same reasons, over the same period of time, i was moving some personal items to her home from the nursing home.

in this instance i guess it is ok to speak with me - if i have a strong back and a conveyance that aids her needs at the moment.. anyway, in the parking lot of the apartment complex where she lives, while we are moving in those items, guess who shows up?

five or six of my old 'best friends'.

Unbelievable the gall these people have. Bunch of users. Yes we are 'dead' in their eyes until they want something. It's disgusting. I used to avoid anywhere that I might run into these former 'friends' but as of late I can hardly wait and I hope it's in a very crowded place. I plan to quickly run up to them and say (loudly) Oh so & so it's so good to see you, how have you been. (while giving them a big hug) If nothing else they will look like complete a**holes to everyone around if they ignore me.-Leslie-

Blondie's Comments You Will Not Hear at the 08-26-2012 WT Study (HOLY SPIRIT)

from god as they.

bible prophets and writers were.

had used angels as writers?

Thanks once again Blondie. Paragraph 17 made me laugh. Open each study session with prayer asking God's spirit to direct your thoughts. Bwa ha ha. What really is the point of even bothering. If you get something from the scriptures that doesn't agree with their interpretation you can't express it to anyone. If you asked for God's spirit and you happened to 'see the light' and tried to tell anyone what God had revealed to you.....we know what would happen. They are disingenuous. Leslie
