  Finally out of Hiding

  well i finally came out and told my parents i did not believe in the wts doctrines.. for me the last straw was seeing honesty's simple clear proof of the wrongness of 607.

  'course i couldn't remember all the refs last night but now i've printed them out.. told them about the ngo thing.

  of course they said the "ebul 'postates" were twisting the whole thing.. my dad tried to "reason with me" thusly:.

  Loved how you put it, Sirona..........lol...........I've personally met at least 3 apostates........they all proved to be wonderful people in real life.............and one I now count as one of my closest, best friends..........(((((Flyin'))))) We are there for each other.............I've given money to an apostate friend..........and back when Hurricane Katrina swept through, I was one who donated money along with MANY others to a few apostates on this board. And, it just kills me when the Dubs try to frighten us about "worldly people" These people are the ones who contribute food and money to churches and food banks.............what about the JW's? How many did we ever know in our former KH's who fed a homeless or down on their luck people?

  So I have no idea what I'm gonna do now. I may be able to go live with my (worldly) grandmother in Maryland, but as for a job?

  Mike, you will do fine. March your tail down to as many temp agencies as you can, sign up. Then, it will be their show. They are in business to find you a job. I know because I started working for them shortly after I was let go from a job. I was devastated. I had finally, after 16 yers decided to break free from a major crutch in my life: working for an elder in the local congregation. He was extremely emotionally abusive to me. I knew on some level it was because of his own upbringing, but, I was struggling with my own and didn't need the extra junk added. They found me a position as a receptionist within a week, and within 3 days they told me they wanted to hire me. So, lesson: don't underestimate your own natural gifts and talents as well as experience. I've gained many many valuable experiences from that experience. In fact, it helped me decide, at 40 years old that I was through with my marriage and my connection with the JW's. Hope this helps encourage you, Mike.

  "They don't really care about you. They will tell lies and half-truths in an effort to destroy your faith. That's all they really want to do."

  This is where I stopped reading and MUST respond. This is 100% bullshit. The fact is each and every one of us "so called apostates" want to keep other victims from being damaged or any part of their precious life taken up with such a worthless pursuit or belief system as Jehovah's Witnesses try to make you swallow. Life is Bigger and Broader than what the JW's present, as is god/life force/Universal/Great Spirt. Big clue on whether to believe what they teach: when you read something about god in the WT literature or in the Bible, if the God in those instances makes your moral system of belief look like a perfect angel's...........then you need to call it like it is: bullshit.

  Thank you for sharing this..............I've had them ALOT! In my case, it's not only that I am at a DC or CA...........it's also that I'm remarried to my ex!!! And, in my dreams, I am overwhelmed, again, by the feelings that being in those two situations made me feel. Complete dispair and depression............nothing to stimulate my intellect, no emotional connection with the husband........I wake up sometimes weeping.......but, because I'm sleeping they come out as inarticulate grunts.........just as I'm coming to, I can sometimes hear myself and I sound like a wounded animal..........it's awful!!!

  I think I did something very "sick" and embarassing

  by kristyann in

  2. friends

  okay... so i am super embarassed once again.

  this time what happened is too embarassing to share, i think.

  most people would probably tell me i am gross, too, and most of you would probably not even want to hear it so i guess that i am better off not sharing it here.

  Okay, okay...........this is getting fun, after reading some of the posts............I have TWO menstruation stories to share, both of them are my own experience: the very first day I got my period, I was really pissed. I was 16 and I was so active. I ran track, I horseback rode.......anyways, I am really not feeling comfortable with my femininity that moment, so I tell my mom...........and I MAKE HER SWEAR she won't tell anyone else.............well, about an hour goes by and I head up to the barn to check on my horse, etc........and as I'm walking by past my father, he says: "good morning, young lady"...............and I KNEW SHE HAD TOLD HIM!!!! I wanted to kill her at that moment...........I was SOOOOO embarrassed.............so, then, there's another morning............a few years later...........I get up to go use the bathroom..........I've got my period and am wearing a napkin........so, I walk past my dad in the kitchen, go in, take care of business and then head back to my bedroom..........a couple of minutes later, my sister comes in, she's cracking up..........she says: "when you just walked past us in the kitchen, your napkin was bulging out of your pajama bottoms......and dad saw it and he just kinda made a funny face"...........well, how's about that for some embarrassing moments...........oh, and I forgot this one: I was sick with mononucleosis, and my BF later husband, comes up to visit and I'm sitting on his lap and all of a sudden, I start coughing, and because of the pressure, I let the biggest FART out as I'm sitting on my BF later husband's lap..................and, instead of just shrugging it off, I proceed to make the situation worse by trying to blame my SISTER!!! LMAO..............and, of course, that wee bitch wouldn't take the fall for me...............man, this brings back some funny memories...........glad you started this thread!!! LOL!

  WHEWWWW!!! OMG.......when I first started reading this thread, I was thinking, because you said "sick" so, I'm saying to myself, well, maybe she engaged in oral sex in public or decided to pose as a hooker on a street corner for an evening of funky fun...........GUESS WHAT? THIS IS NOTHING!! What happened to you was a part of enhabiting a very human body..........my goodness, if it were MY furniture you had sat on, I would feel so so sorry for YOU because I would remember all the humiliating physical things that have happened with MY body over the years. One of the MOST embarrassing moments for me, as an adult, was the time I finished using the ladies room at the KH and then proceeded to walk out of the BR and into the main hall.........then, THANK GOD, one of my dear male friends who was an attendant that night grabbed my elbow and was acting so nervous and was trying to pull me back into a private area.........then, another friend, a sister this time, saw what was going on and she came and just surrounded my rear area with her body and brought me back into the ladies room..........I had walked out with the bottom of the back of my skirt firmly tucked into the waist band of my panty hose............THANK GOD I was still into wearing undies at that point............LMAO.........I was sooooo embarrassed, yet, at the same time, that naughty little earthy side of me got to laughing so hard that tears were coming out of my eyes!

  Letting Go......

  by anewme in

  2. beliefs

  "in the inevitable rising and falling, the cycles of expansion and contraction that come as you give birth to yourself, there may be moments to push, to strive toward a spiritual goal.

  but more frequently the task is one of leting go, of finding a gracious heart that honors the changes of life.

  "in all practices and traditions of freedom, we find the heart's task to be quite simple.
