  How did you select your nick name...

  why did select your nickname, and avatar?

  i am certain there are some interesting stories.. i searched everywhere for info, the amount out there was amazing, i visited this site often, and i learned a lot about how i was controlled and lied to, blinded from the truth.

  the borg =the matrix.

  i want to express my gratitude to members here who have steered me right when my own compass was stuck.

  Saw My Mother!!!

  by RichieRich in

  i was on my way home today, and i passed my mother on the road.

  tears came to my eyes immediately, just at the sight of her face.. i hate this religion.. but i love my mom.. i can't even remember, when the last time we spoke was.. i just want to sit down and talk to her, but i can't- i won't- because its her fault.

  i left a religion, she left her son.

  throughout my tenure as one of jehovah's witnesses, i could not help notice how individuals.

  became so conscious of what others thought about them.

  I think most people worried more about ,what the cong felt ,then what God thought of us. Sad.
  
  I never answered much during the meetings and one of the sisters who I studied with,was upset with me because other sisters,were wondering what was
  "wrong" with me.I must not be very spiritual because I don't answer or I don't talk enough. I wasn't there to impress them or prove anything to them.
  
  I never changed ither.Wasn't long after I left anyways, just another notch in my belt,to why I knew this organization is crap.

  A reminder to all of you....

  by LivingInReality in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  shannon here.... a confessed "lurker" for a very, very, long time and a rare poster to the board......i just wanted to drop a quick note to all of you.. please keep doing what you're doing..providing a refuge for so many.

  you all make me feel reassured that if in 4 years from now i may have a breakdown (because deprogramming is a lifelong ailment) and need to find strength and encouragement, or even just someone to hear my story and believe me...i will always know that you are all here.

  no judgment, no criticism...but instead providing a way for anyone who visits this board a little challenge at times, a large amount of humor, some psychological services...and a great big dose of the real truth.. you guys are great...you make me laugh, you make me smile and you make me feel fantastic about my decision to leave by your constant reassurance that truly living is all about thinking for yourself.. i'll be sure to start posting more regularly because i'd like to start to get to know you guys better and in turn become a source of comfort, wisdom and humor to others that have gone through what we have.. hugs to you all.. shannon.
