I second what steve2 said. Whatever you are going through, we wish you the best! People here have dealt with and are overcoming all kinds of personal horrors. There is strength in numbers. Feel free to get things off your chest here anytime.

I was unkind & I am deeply sorry
by Dolosus inearly this morning, i was stopped at a service station dealing with a mechanical issue with my motorcycle.
i was approached by 2 young men who pro-offered some of your reading material.
i deeply regret that i was very unkind; in actual fact, i was quite mean in my response to them.

I once had a guy pull a shotgun on me while in service because they df'd his daughter and made her suicidal. He pointed it at my feet and told me to GTF off his property. I consider what he did a kindness because it really shook me up to the emotional grief this religion causes people.
JWs have thick skin and I'm sure they were quick to visualize the OP being blasted with burning hail for rejecting their message.

The only "attack" that has been performed on Jdubs recently is the Australian government going on the offensive to get them to stop protecting pedo's. Other than that, no one gives a flying kite what the JW organization does. -

Ray Franz was an Idiot
by vinman inray franz who gave us insight into the gb due to a crisis of conscience was an absolute moron, with absolutely no critical thinking skills whatsoever like all of us have.
i mean, to have a conscience based on some magic man in the sky.. how stupid can you be?
in search of christian freedom?

I didn't know Ray Franz, so I'm not in a position to say he was an idiot or a genius. All I know is he wrote in a humble way and he revealed many many things about the organization that can and were later verified to be true. He helped to pull the curtain on the old man in the wizard of oz - for that we should all be thankful. -

I almost gave up today except for a girl her tried to throw herself infront of two cars.............
by umbertoecho inthis may sound insane but i literally have blood on my hands as i have just come home from a counselling session that went wrong...i wanted to collate all that has happened and record it...hospital policy is against it.
i said "what am i alive for then if not to tell the truth" she tut tutted and i walked out sadly in despair.. when i got to the ground floor there was a young girl screaming her head off.
she was afraid, that is all she was...........afraid.

You are a hero! Well done!
I wish I could have gotten there on time too. Recently this summer I found the naked body of a man who had apparently committed suicide in a river. It was pretty traumatizing. I wish I could have done something to help...

Nearly Killing My Mother Wasn't Enough !

i have somehow managed to bring her to reason and accept the transfusion.
it saved her life.

This is the kind of creepshow shit (the elders' conduct) that I want the outside world to see and hear. It's time for this cult to take some responsibility and accountability for its abusive, bullying nature.
Please send your mother our love and give her a big hug from all of us. She is a living celebration of life!

Intro and Thoughts
by ThinkerBelle ini've been lurking on the board for almost a year now and i think i'm ready to come out of hiding (although, i'm so nervous as i type this).
i'm not ready to share everything about my story, but the basics are that i'm a born-in, elder's kid, baptized as a teenager because i was tired of hearing people ask me "all your friends are baptized, when are you going to get baptized?
", married an unbeliever (was df, but came back shortly after) and we have two kids.

Welcome! I used to envy, and at the same time, distain elders kids because they were often the ones that were out of control yet could get away with it. Now I feel so sympathetic to their plight. Growing up under that pressure, under the lense of everyone's watching eyes and expectations has got to be brutal. It seems everything balances out in the end though, because we are all on here as victims with war stories to tell. -

This group of rocks symbolizes a waterfall where the water flows from the corner on downward into the riverbed, emptying into the area around the water basin. It's called "karetaki" or dry waterfall cascade. The stones hopefully give depth and visual appeal to the garden. I installed the bamboo fence behind it to cover the ordinary walls and give the garden an Asian feel to it.

This is a stone water basin (tsukubai) that I put in at the end of the dry river bed. It was traditionally used for rinsing ones hands before engaging in the tea ceremony. No tea garden is complete without it and a stone lantern hiding shyly in the ferns.
