thankyou all kathy

yes, I think that I can also only echo what has already been said here..Simon, this board has been a place for me to come to when I need either a hard shot of reality or an encouraging word of support..either way it has been a help to me in ways that I am sure that I will never even know. Poetry that I would have never had written has come out since I have had this palce to bring it out on...a living breathing place to enjoy a type of catharsis. My hats off to ya...my prescription bottle also is open to ya It's gotta be a maddening task to deal with all of us eccentric personalities here..

this last weekend was easter and i had the pleasure of spending it with my daughter, my ex and her parents.

they are locals and have been very accomodating with the whole divorce.

the ex-in-laws are still good people and they have good hearts and a mindset that isnt religiously controlling.

This last weekend was easter and I had the pleasure of spending it with my daughter, my ex and her parents. They are locals and have been very accomodating with the whole divorce. The ex-in-laws are still good people and they have good hearts and a mindset that isnt religiously controlling. They are good for my little girl. Anyway, my daughter had painted a little wooden egg in her little two year old splotchy painting style with random colors and no actualy design but it felt good when her grandmother gave me the egg (grandma helped my daughter paint it) and told me that it had been painted by my little spud for me for easter. I didnt quite know what to say. I actually still havent let the egg out of my personal contact. I have it in my backpack. I feel kind of silly bringing it around with me but for some strange odd reason it makes me feel good and comfortable. The holiday thing is very much starting to warm me up. With every new thing that happens I go through a plethora of feelings and emotions.

I also had the disturbing experience of watching a movie that someone on this board had suggested, "Savage Messiah" it was quite disturbing yet in some small ways oddly reminiscent of the jw mind-control that allowed me to just accept whatever I was told as the truth with no proof. The extreme nature of THAT cultish family in the movie was sick. It twisted me kind of hard. Every little bit of de-conditioning that I get is good for me though..I am rapidly learning that the process to de-condition a mind is oftentimes not the most pleasureable of experiences. At any rate thats all I had to say. No poems this time. I have actually made a file of ALL the random poetry that I had posted on this board and I was suprised at how much I had put out...anywayz...laterz from this side of the zanexiville complex.

Do You Remember the Day of Your Baptism?

by minimus in

jw
friends

your baptism date is supposed to be the most important time of your life.

i was 9 years old when i took the plunge.

i remember my baptism, mostly because, i was baptized twice.

zanex

It was in colorado. That much I can remember. The rest if the day is sort of vague. I recall walking down a long hallway and having a brother ask me if i had ever been baptized into any other religion and if i had been baptized a jw before and thats about all i recall. Funny though..I remember with sharp clarity the night I got disfellowshipped and remember the judicial meetings before that fateful night. I remember the gestapo tactics that they used to raze me and crush my mental psyche. Funny how I would remember that night and the bad nights whereas I have little to no memory of the baptism..hmmm wonder why that is...lol..no i dont.
