Absolute Love For All The Courageous Souls That Are Here
by new boy inthere are amazing people that are here and this site.
people with their incredible stories of religious abuse.
these people like the courageous people who were on the a&e show this last week have showed me and thousands of others the power of how just one person or even a small group of people can effect many.. the power of just one person standing up and saying "this is not right" has changed history.

Should Voters Be Made To Prove They Are Eligible To Vote?
by minimus ini believe that just because someone shows up at the voting booth, it doesn’t automatically qualify them to be legitimate voters.
i think it’s not unreasonable to provide proof that you are qualified..

Current non expired State ID or passport. Or birth certificate and current utility bill.
It works in schools across the nation.

Quotes work for me and so do air quotes physically.
When there is an audience they need to know the correct terminology and also that we no longer buy into it.
Its true, the peeps on the Aftermath show would have had to use air quotes often. But it would have been impactful. I cringed every time they used a coin word like it was worthy of acknowledgement. Leah called Lloyd out on it once.

Leah was sharp in her rebuke to Lloyd, “It is not Christianity!”
Lloyd, “Well, that is their stance, what they claim.”
Leah, “ But you are repeating it!”
It was awkward. We knew what Lloyd meant and where he was coming from but it was clear it got under Leah’s skin.
If it degenerated into a discussion of religious doctrine nothing would have been accomplished in exposing the horrific policies of WT.

I only come here to irritate Morph, Minimus, and Simon.
And to read Cofty’s posts.
And Blondie’s dismantling of WT mag issues
And Barbara’s news reports.

We had horrid air today from the smoke and ash. Hard to complain considering the loss so many just had.

Liberals just swamped the house. They’ll be running plenty of things.
Assault is a word.
I like Minimus. He melts in my mouth, not on my hands. Be nice to him.
The rest of you are like a tray full of baby mushrooms.
Of course that must be better than a tray full of baby carrots.

This has been a horrible year for Cal fires. I’ve literally seen 100 ft flames in the hills from my house 3 times. It is terrifying because the winds can change in an instant and nothing can stop the flames.
We don’t get the hurricanes or floods, but damn we know how to burn.

Dating another Woke exJW or no?
by caves ini find that the people here speak in a way i can understand because we have one thing in common if nothing else.
so my question is , would it be easier to date someone that has been a jw and woke up or not?.
i would love for someone to 'get it' without having to explain much.

It’s an underground language nobody understands unless they were there. Sure you can get by with someone who is clueless. Just keep it to yourself.
But in the most vulnerable moments of life, there is nothing like having someone look into your eyes who knows exactly what you are thinking. Without words you both just know. There is a blood bond. Because it felt like literally giving blood when trapped inside when you knew it was over.
Every challenge in life is weighed compared to the survival from a cult and the severe hurt experienced by loved ones shunning you.
When you both feel it, there is no need for descriptions. Large amounts of leeway are easy to oblige in the most tedious of moments. You survived trauma. Separately or together. You won. You share. You continue. You thrive.
A common denominator, that is strong enough to compel you to overcome and strive for happiness and success, is extremely powerful. Even in relationships that may not be a match made in heaven, debunking JW myths and cliches together is pretty damn euphoric.
Having someone who just gets it is remarkable, and I recommend it. Tackle your histories together and find comfort you understand a huge percentage of what’s going on in that other persons mind without a word!
