tfff - how many of you have been there?.
a place where the relentlessness of trying to be functional disintegrates the hearder you try!.
where you lose!.
((((((((((((((R Crusoe))))))))))))
I understand. I do. I wish I didn't because I don't think anyone should feel that way.
The darkness is lifting for me somewhat...I actually felt happy the other day...and believe me that is a big deal for me.
Don't give up.
You are amazingly strong. Honestly I see that about you! I love your posts and contributions to this board too.

so i don't want to play anymore.. i'm taking my ball and going home.
my turn to rant.
jesus christ, burn.. if you have god almighty on your side, what's with all the frustration?.
I like atheists.
I'm not an atheist myself, but I might as well be to some fundamentalists....
Sirona (whispering...I'm pagan but don't tell Jehovah)
that's right guys.
as i told you before, they boe have been considering me for the eldership.
which i don't care for, but since my family is stuck in this cult, i guess i can use the new position to help them see that the holy spirit has nothing to do with me being an elder.
What I get in response is this...
"Stop judging me. Stop being so aggressive."
Welcome to my world! ROFL

i am, my dad is doing it, i'm going to their hall theyve just moved there (to 'help' out).
i figured its the one meeting i can't miss as i upset them by not going to any others at all, also ive made a point of not going to my hall and i won't let anyone know i'm at my dads.
my dad is actually worried i might 'be apostate' about it, as i once said surely passing on the bread and wine is like saying 'no thanks jesus!
Hiya Cordy!
Nah, of course I'm not going. It makes me feel sick to imagine it
Sorry you couldn't get out of it yourself. Maybe you can get the little one to count how many times "Jehovah" or "anointed" is said, then how many times "Jesus" is said. Then you can ask your dad afterwards, "why was the name Jesus only said 5 times?" LOL
If someone talks to you, just tell them how you are very very happy. Talk about your job (they hate that) lol

i'm a former jw or joho as one of my sister's schoolmates used to call us.
(reminds me of the hojos we used to stay at for assemblies :d) i was raised as a witness, baptized at the age of 14 due to my father's constant pressuring.
i'm in my mid-30s now and i stopped attending meetings three years ago.
Hi
Welcome
Well done to you for knowing what you wanted and not being pushed!
Sirona
it happened last night guys.
i got early to the kh and the boe came to talk to me.
they ask me to read the bible and asked me a couple of questions.
So will you be giving us the inside info? Posting scans of BOE letters?
As others have said, I'd make it a short term goal to get your family out.
Also, make sure you don't recruit anyone new!
Sirona
hi, been a while since i posted here, i wondered if there were any xjw's on here in cape town, south africa?.
dh.
Thanks Chikikie, By sending people to that thread you are making more people aware of the issues with you and your sister.
DH I will PM you
Nomoreguilt - thanks
Sirona
No I won't be there.
Ironically, pagans share the bread and wine at their festivals. JWs can't even allow their members to partake.
It compares to Satanic ritual....where the biblical ways are made a parody of.... the JWs pass around the symbols of Jesus's body and blood, but do not partake.
Sirona
that's right guys.
as i told you before, they boe have been considering me for the eldership.
which i don't care for, but since my family is stuck in this cult, i guess i can use the new position to help them see that the holy spirit has nothing to do with me being an elder.
Sirona what do you hope to achieve by your words? people shunning me on this forum?
No.
I just wanted to make people aware of my suspicions. Especially any who would be tempted to give their personal information such as which congregation they went to or their names.
OR ILL COMPLAIN, this is rampant bullying
Complain then. Bear in mind, I have NEVER had a problem with ANYONE ELSE on this board and I've met many people in person too. Even if the moderators chastise me for my openess, I know I'm liked and I couldn't care less if you like me or not. I won't post again to this thread. Feel free to PM me if you wish. I apologise ot OOTB for this derailment, I just felt really strongly about this and I do think that people should just be careful who they trust on here. Sirona
that's right guys.

Both Chikikie and Reniaa asking people what congregation they used to be in....
