  This is my name, I was a witness, and this is why I will never be again.

  thanks to this site, not only am i free of the mental imprisonment, but i am also free of the fear that the society used to keep me and others like me silent.. i am not a witness anymore because the truth is not what we are directred to think it is.

  once we allow ourselves to think, it is clear as day that there is no real basis for anyone to take the title of faithful and discreet slave.

  there are folders and lists which contain the names of pedophiles who were never turned over to the proper authorities for their crimes.

  i COUNTED on being struck by lightning...but alas...twas not to be...apparently overdosing on life and being struck by lightning have rather similar effects...who knew?

  i usually drink red wine but sometimes when i'm out i want something mixed.

  i recently was turned on to southern comfort and sprite and really like it, but would prefer something without soda in it.

  How much of the Damage do you hide here?

  by KW13 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  its true many of you, myself included come here and express how we feel, but do you ever disguise how damaged an individual you are, even in real life?

  sometimes i wonder (aside from here) whether people really can grasp what it means to have grown up in a world that means nothing now and isnt even relevant.

  it is quite difficult sometimes for me to fully define the length of the damage I feel here...or anywhere. A lot of the problem I think is figuring out how much damage is there, how much is left, how much can realistically be resolved..etc etc...I look to this place because it reminds me that I am not alone...

  personal rant..

  i received a rather pointed reminder that the co's visit is more important than family that has been gone for a long time and is only around for a brief time...but oh no..cant miss out on the co visit..eventho he says the same thing every year and does the same friggin thing every year...sigh.... i am trying to get past a lot of the old feelings...but i am reminded of the power that the wt has upon its followers...sigh.

  some things got easier when dad died...and some things got harder...anyhow....i bet that the co's visit is the same droll waste of gas going to the meetings with revitalized gusto or desperately wishing to be in the same car group with the co...what a waste...but my family gets somethin out of it.... i however am doing quite good...it just pains me a bit to see two of the most important people in my life be led around by the nose by a flawed system that makes them act the way they do...nyhow.... -z-.

  Do ASL dubs recruit more aggressively than other dubs?

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  asl = american sign language for those who don't know.. i read a recent post on dubs knocking at doors and asking if anyone knew asl.. here's my experience.. .

  i attended a jw sponsored asl course about 4 years ago in a neighboring congregation.

  there were about 15 students in total.. the lesson was not to exceede 3 hours and afterwards we would go straight out into service.. the lessons were fun and we were given homework assignments to learn the various signs etc.
