  after i had graduated high school in the early 1960s i decided to make a commitment to pioneer.

  for my mother even pioneering was not good enough.......... her first choice was bethel.

  pioneering in my home area.....boring.

  You paint a good picture with your words. I'm enjoying the read. I did laugh at Frank Spence, there's a funny tv character from the UK called Frank Spencer and I pictured him!

  in all, i don't let very many see my true self.

  are your parents / family jws?.

  my brothers initially said they wouldn't but then after trying to convince me to come back each of them decided to shun me instead.. were you or are you still being shunned by those who didn't leave?.

  Thank you for your interview, what a great line:I would rather face the future with tears in my eyes than turn my back to it to live in denial with a smile. All the best to you and yours.

  Experiences: CAA needs to emotionally vomit... catharsis... release ... etc.

  ok, so i have been on this journey for about a year or so.

  i feel like i am no longer a part of this whacked out religion, however at the same time after spending so many years in it there have been a huge array of things that have happened to me that i feel i need to talk about.

  not because they will help anyone who reads them, not because they are the slightest bit interesting, but because i can no longer keep them bottled up and expect to move on.. alot of things i have experienced hurt me deeply... although i was able to move forward with my life these things tend to hang around in my mind because i have never been able to tell anyone outside of my wife.

  That is quite a story to carry with you for so long. Do not let it eat away at you anymore. Your wife seems a great person, and she is right, what goes around comes around. I hope you feel a lot better having put 'pen to paper'.

  A story about Reggie and Reginald... and why it makes me cringe... more vomiting

  by confusedandalone in

  so i grew up in new jersey in a very urban part of the state.

  i literally only saw white folks if they were in a police car or if i went to the assembly.

  the funny thing is at the assembly there was still a level of segregation as well although it was self-imposed.

  i here that the new advisory for witnesses, should the go on the internet is to only go on the org.

  the org.

  is all they are concerned about since "others" may have some "misinformation"..

  How about x-j-w.org ? It does sound a bit like trying to shut the stable doors after the horses have bolted, and yet another way of controlling information as spoken of by Steve Hassan's BITE model
