Gumbers, you stole the words right out of my mouth............couldn't have said it any better~but, reading that, I can now see and understand so clearly why I'm not a Christian anymore, and could never get close to this "Jehovah".............

everyone, leonie has joined the forum.
her nickname is youcanleaveyourhaton.
she is from australia and some of you know her from women awake, endstagehealing and jesus witnesses.
Steps into thread. Leaves hat on, but removes his shoes. xjw_b12
BWAHHAAHAHAHA!! ROTFLMAO! (but managing to keep MY hat on!)
i have been lurking on this board ever since the may 2002 broadcast of that dateline on the subject of child molestation.
that show made me realize that the wt may not be speaking for god.
well naturally i discovered the truth about the "truth" over the past 21 months.
First: You need to act with extreme caution in keeping your identity secret as long as you have this dual situation with your family and your own conscience. Be very careful about giving out details about yourself, because there are Watchtower monitors on these ex-JW boards who look to find potential disloyal and apostate JWs ... it does happen ... and it has been "proven" that the Society monitors these boards. Be especilly careful about trusting people with information until you get a good feel for who they really are.I don't have to be careful, so I'll be fresh and in their faces for you!!! PHHHHTTTT!!! WT Rats!!!! Nyah Nyah, Nyah, Nyah, Nyah!!!! In your FACE!!!
Sincerely,
Terri Crowe-Perry

I come on here everyday and read and read and read. Then I go home and get ready for the meeting and sit there and feel just trapped like a bear in one of those metal claw things. How can we losen the trap and get free? I don't know. I wish I did, believe me I do.
X! Welcome to the board! I guess you'd call me one of those who said "bump this crap, and I'm outta here!" LOL! Hey, it's a process that for some takes longer than others............but, in my gut, I feel that the only way out is totally out, break free totally. I think that's why so many that know and yet stay go thru such agony, and feel so trapped........you are. You can't be who and what you truly are, and that creates a psychic pain..........I know, I've felt it myself. I have family still in, and this year especially, I've had to get down and dirty with myself and realize that I may end up NEVER being able to have my family ever again. But, I'm walking my road, they're walking theirs..............<shrug> I wonder sometimes if they really are happy............but, I can't live my life around them..........

i've heard on a couple of occasions that it was a frequent practice in bible times for people to use hemp oil.
has anyone else heard this take on the bible before?
is there a way to prove whether its true or not?
Dusty, not sure what tribe you are from..............or are referring to, but, I had a girlfriend, who was a Channupa Carrier, and she was trained by a Sioux Medicine Man, and I smoked the Channuppa with her at least two or three times, in ceremony, and it WAS NOT weed. She told me what the traditional mix is, red willow bark, and that's what we smoked..........now, I've also smoked Kinnick Kinnick, and that also is non-narcotic. Mind sharing what tribe(s) you were talking about?
background information:first of all, i am not a jw.
i divorced my husband due to his alcohol addiction and because he repeatedly refused to seek help.
i could no longer carry the burden, and so after 30 years, i left.
DY, yeah, what are you doing reading this then? If you don't like it, get out of the thread!!!!
I strongly object to you making moral judgements on others.........

I don't know about you, but when I was a small kid I didn't enjoy seeing that kind of thing.I wanted to be kid and I didn't want adults shoving adult things down my throat. That is what people are upset about. Keep adult matters where they belong.
I agree, Heather. I am not a mother, but, I like how you brought it back to what we as children felt when we were subjected to "adult" things..............I remember when adults would drone on over coffee and cigarettes, or playing cards, or whatever activity brought them together.........and even as a kid, I felt like I shouldn't be listening to certain things..........like mom used to say, (she was always careful) "little pictures have big ears" and I add bigger imaginations! As kids we kept our innocence for such a short time............I understand how you feel............you want to give today's kids more time to have that! And, of course, alot of us know what a stolen childhood feels like...............
