best wishes to all
by Mr Lebowski inwell, the last few weeks have been entertaining... and they have reminded me that i have built up my life to a point where "former jw" is pretty low on the list of my defining attributes.
and that's good.. while i want to serve as a support for those re-creating themselves after leaving, i think the best way that i can do that is by being happy, successful, and fulfilled, rather than letting "former jw" move back to the top of the list.
farewell, all, and remember - living well is the best revenge.. love and doughnuts,.

Gettin' Personal here.......
by Frannie Banannie inthanks to little toe's piquing my interest on this subject, i hafta ask it...... .
has anyone here had any personal spiritual experiences and is anyone here brave enough to describe/relate any personal spiritual experiences they've had, whether pre-borg, during being borganized or post-borg?
to be more specific, have you ever seen any angels or spirit creatures, been made aware of their presence in any way, interacted with or communicated with them, or had dream/visions...etc?

One of my experiences was when my oldest daughter had moved out after graduating from High School. Our relationship was cut off. One the ways I wanted to do in taking care of myself was to do a sweat lodge and invited my friends and the circle I was involved in.
To me it was a way to honor the death of our relationship. So I asked a medicine woman do the ceremony.
It was late in the evening, and their were fire flies flying around the Sweat Lodge. Felt kinda magical.
There were about 12 of us in the Sweat and its pitch black. Very hot and steamy. I noticed these little lights flickering all over in the sweat. I tried to touch them but they went out.
After the seventh round we were standing around the camp fire. I mentioned to a friend, "did you see those fire flies in the sweat?" She no. It was'nt fire flies, those were spirit lights. And only certain people see them. Oh that means there's more out there in the universe. And I am barely touching the surface.
I recalled reading a book by a medicine woman, who shared some of her experiences. Also mentioned about seeing spirit lights. I thought at the time it was a little hokey. Until my personal experience.
So the sense I received of seeing those spirit lights was offering me hope to move on in my relationship with my daughter.
This is one of many experiences on my spiritual path.

(sorry hit the wrong button)
Has anybody seen this film?
A powerful drama about three Aboriginal girls in the 1930's Australia. Taken from their families, they try to return home by hiking across the Outback. A true story.
Very emotional thermatic material and spiritual. The material of it left people in the theatre speechless. Nobody rushed out in a hurry either.
The Aboriginal children are taken away by the government (White Men) to try to change the race to white.
It's a film that has been hanging with me for days. It touches my roots as a Finnish Saami and my childrens Native American culture.
And you see this kind of mentality all over the world. And try to fit people in a norm of whatever. And jw's are right in there along with other religions.
And it makes me angry. I think its a must see film !!
Like to hear from others and their response to the film.

Interesting thread and allows me to put the pieces of my puzzle together.
Before I knew who I was with my sexuality, I had fond feelings for my girlfriend for several years. Never acted on my feelings. The ex came into the picture. Of course I all I knew was the Straight way.
And did what society dictated. Married this guy that opened the way to jw land. Ex fill her with jw crap. It put a wedge in my friendship. And one day she disappeared!! Never knew why!!! Abandonment issues up the waazooooooo.
One of those lost loves.

I I just heard on the news the death of this priest. I am not surprised. Prisoners have there code of ethics. When it comes to abusing women, rape and sexually abusing children. They have no tolerances for those people.
If not death and they can make a living hell for these characters. I am surprised they did'nt have this priest isolated.
