What Makes You Enjoy Your Life?
by minimus insomeone that i know well because of my business, suddenly died, while on vacation.
i talked to his wife yesterday.

JWs are broken souls
by Introspection ini heard this from a friend of mine once, this is how he described an elder i used to be roommates with.
i went to court for jury duty yesterday, and lo and behold there was a witness sitting in front of me, reading the new book on isaiah or whatever it was - and there i was behind him reading steven hassan's combating cult mind control.
(oh the irony - if only i had a pic) .

intro: I always like yer posts...they really make the wheels start spinnin in my own mind...the idea of "being" in spite of ones religious preference is something that jws are taught to rebut, we ARE the product of the religion that we are/were in, that is what the wtbts wanted from us. When we are ripped of that religion then all that we have in life becomes null and void...it is a hard transition from going from having ones whole life revolve around religious ideas then to have those religious ideas jerked out from under. Losing all of ones friends/family doesnt help either. A lot of times what happens or what happened to me is that big hole that is left from the religous ripping is filled with anger. Having nothing left, I think would almost be safer than having that anger. Course I dont really know.

Let me introduce myself...
by aarque ini've done a lot of lurking and have put in my two cents a few times on this board, but just realized i've never introduced myself here.. i'm one of five who was raised as jws.
my mom began studying not too long after she married; dad was totally against it.
coming from a divided household, we were treated as an nonentity in the congregation.

welcome...they do something to us in that "organization" that robs us of some of our purity, ironically enough, those elders feel that they have carte blanche to just romp in and over our lives with impunity...they did the same to me...feels good to be free doesnt it? WELCOME...
