Did an EX-JW wake you up to TTATT or did you put the effort to wake up yourself?

by John Aquila in

how many of us were woken up by some apostate yelling false prophets at a convention?.

how many of us were woken up by someone holding a sign and yelling, what happened to 1975.

how many of us were coerced to investigate the wt because some ex-jw pulled up a bunch of old watchtowers magazines and told us to read the false predictions?.

It was Elders in action that pushed me to get out. I was so shocked by their attitudes and knew I no longer be a Jehovah Witness. That was 25 years ago. I stumbled on to JWN 3 years and I then awoke to TTATT.

How many of us are 'perfectionists'?

by FayeDunaway in

i made a medium level mistake at work today, and when i make mistakes it really shakes me up and takes me a long time to recover.

it completely rattles me, makes me feel awful about myself.

my mind keeps going back to the mistake reliving how i could have let it happen.

i was paired with this older "brother" when i was a teenager.

he was very very strange.

he was a nice guy but goofy.

Being 15 years old vacation pioneering with 3 girl friends. The older male pioneer left us girls at a park no where near a phone (before Cell phones) and we were miles from home and had to walk at least a mile to call our moms. Not Cool and was dangerous even in the 60s known druggie Park.

Implications of gay marriage ruling

by Rattigan350 in

while many think that the ruling is good for the gays and their response is: how does that affect your marriage; then on the other side the religious people cry god and sinners.

but both are missing the forest through the trees.. the problem with the ruling is that which is discussed here so many times.

five unelected federal officials decided on policy for the whole country, running roughshod over every democratic principle.

I usually don't comment on such controversial subjects this one affects me. My son is a same sex marriage. It hasn't hurt my 49 year marriage in any way. It gives my boys many marriage rights the rest of the world enjoy.
