"Surely, running away should win a prize."
I could accept this: https://youtu.be/SGFxYts7siM?t=13
Or, if not possible, anything from Taco Bell.

The lesson is: if you are a JW, or EXJW you should ALWAYS CHECK TWICE BEFORE POST OR SAY ANYTHING. After you have the proof in the hand, you can talk or post. Never before. No wishful thinking. Don't damage your own credibility.

an hour ago: "It is definitely a Watchtower published image"
5 minutes ago: "perhaps its not a WT image? I really thought it was."
You are hurting your credibility.

Movies that make you cry?
by new boy inthere have been many but i had a total melt down at the end of sophie's choice.
i hadn't cried in years before i saw that movie in in 1982. i was still very much a jw at the time.
i have no idea where the pain and sorrow came from, maybe it was the fact there are things people have gone through that we have defied all reason logic.

Tangled.
I was holding my daughter so hard!. Because she was me. Because I use to believe in a "mother" that told me not to go outside the Tower. Because I trust her. Because my little daughter was in my arms. Because that first feeling of freedom. And this song, because I know that even that my marriage eventually is going to end.

And about numerology:
https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200276744/1/0
Numerology is devoid of scientific basis, and it fares badly when examined under the light of reason. More important, because it is a form of divination, numerology conflicts with Bible teachings. In view of that, numerology is not a beneficial means of regulating your life or planning your future.

A WTF Moment While In the WTS
by Searching inhas anyone else had a moment, while still within the organization (and before learning ttatt) that caused them to stop and go, "this is kind of messed up.".
for instance, back i believe in the early 2000's, i was attending a dc with my family.
it was announced at the beginning of the convention that there was going to be a special announcement at the end, so for everyone to please try to remain until the very end of the meeting.

The Elders in my previous congregation: WTF? if they reflect Jesus, then Jesus is not what I think it should be. If they dont reflect jesus, why i'm here?
In that season a friend of mine asked: Can you show me using the Bible, and the Bible only, how we arrive to 1914? I tried for 3 month. He never argue anything. After any reason that i gave, he just asked back: Are you satisfied with your own answer?
I tried, every day, for 3 month. Then I saw all break into pieces.

"While I love my two children very much, I feel today I should never have had them."
by running_away inthis is interesting:.

"a whole lot of the time, i just don't like being a mother, and i generally don't fit well into this role.".

"do you believe the expression of regrets and negative thoughts about the decisions you've made vis-à-vis your children and your spouse are always legitimate?"
"I with I was never a JW", "I wish I have never born", "I wish I have order something less spicy", "I regret that last Cider".
Expression of regrets are quite common, I think. I have hear tons of parents saying something like that sometimes (about religion, kids, spicy food, Cider and other mundane things). They don't hate them, just they are just tired, perhaps.
But, truth be told, this is the first time that I see an article as serious as you expect of the BBC, about regretting kids in the words of normal, everyday mothers. In any case, sometimes we feel that we should have done something different, and we talk openly about it, but never about the kids.
Again: it is not about what I feel or talk about this topic, was about the article.
To answer your question: Once or twice a year I wish I could do family stuff different, and I will think about it for about 10 minutes, daydreaming about how could possibly be my life in other circunstances. This one was the first time ever that I discuss the point with someone that is not my wife. The rest of the time I enjoy a lot listening Taylor Swift and playing Mario Bros with my kids. I do truly enjoy it.
I wish I did wait a little longer to bring them to this world, just a few more years. Also I wish they never grow old, and keep giving me little kisses as they do.
Now: time to pick them up from school!
Regards!
