If either of you are ever in Canberra (only 7 hours away) let me know so we can organise something ok! There are quite a few x dubs here I keep contact with, that would make a fun get together.

Had Lunch with Prisca.
by Lehaa ini'm feeling really good today.. i had lunch with prisca yesterday, it was really great.
we talked about the reasons we both left the borg, it was really great to talk to someone face to face about everything.
the best thing is she only lives 10 minutes away from me, how great is that.. she moved to melbourne about 12 months ago.

Do you have a news reference where Serena thanks Jehovah for losing?
I have had a quick look on the internet but haven't found any transcripts.
Hubby and i watched the whole game live and also the presentations..............she did thank Jehovah, not for losing naturally, just for getting her there, or something like that.

Should Hand Held Cell Phones be Outlawed While Driving??

I'm with Roybatty on this one. Get rid of kids, radios, cds, and passengers that talk too.
You can still use a hands free set!
It's about being responsible and safe. Driving is a risky thing at the best of times. Combine all of the above plus a phone conversation, ingredients for a disaster. I have seen some people swerving on the road and when I get along side of them guess what??????? They have a mobile phone to their ear. Not to say they wouldn't be bad drivers and swerve anyway, but the phone is an added distraction.
Stay safe on those roads!
Cheers.

Now this is when I got confused. She thanked Jehovah for losing? Ah, if she was TRULEY spiritual she would know that Jehovah musn't have been happy with her and her skirt hence her losing! Oh well, those dubs are well trained to twist things in their heads to suit their situation and find validation.
I wonder if the elders will have to call her AND her mother out to the back room after the next meeting, for some counsel? After all, my kids were shunned and counselled for having long side burns and a pierced nose, yet mom Williams on TV shown all round the world is sporting a rather large nose ring for all to see. Mmmmmmmmm, that is a good witness ! Hey, I don't have a problem with people piercing but I do with inconsistencies!
Anyhow, just having a bit of fun sharing some dub hypocricy!

Did you believe in a god before the WTS?
by BLISSISIGNORANCE indid the wts's lies, hypocricy, corruption, abuse, dishonesty, control, inconsistencies, self-righteousness, judgment, sexism, ignorance, and anything else you can think of.................................................make you lose whatever faith you had before??????????????.
i know many here were raised dubs and forced to do things until old enough to stand up to their parents, not because of belief!
but i'm interested in knowing how many had some kind of belief in god that was later damaged or destroyed by the wts's teachings and/or treatment?.

When I left the catholic church I still hadn't been hurt or betrayed enough to have lost faith totally. But with my personal experiences in the borg, with what I saw, came to know of, heard of, read about etc......................I now don't know what to believe in, spiritually speaking. I don't feel unhappy or anxious about it. I actually feel quite free!
The things I believe in now are my kids, my hubby, my friends, my love for them, my freedom, the sun coming up each day and going down each night!
What did the WTS's betrayal do to your faith?

Matters of concern with my time spent as part of the jehovah's witness cult
by Holey_Cheeses*King_of_the juice. inas i reflect on my time spent as a jw, there are certain issues that continue to disturb me about my conduct and lifestyle as a member of that so-called 'religion'.. from the outset, let me state that i did not suffer any physical, sexual, or mental abuse from any members of the cult, that so unfortunately was inflicted upon many persons who now can gladly consider themselves as ex-members of that sorry excuse for a humane (or godly, whichever way you prefer to recognise it) organisation.
certainly, there were conflicts of personality, and some bad business dealings, but, really, i consider that i 'got off lightly' from the fifteen or so years i wasted as a member.. one thing is certain - that no-one, i repeat, no-one, can spend any time as part of that cult and, who manages to escape, who will come away unscathed.
all will carry some form of scar.. so what are my concerns?

The lifestyle I inflicted upon my two sons
SAME.....................my 3 kids went through the same crap....................................
Being dragged door to door, boring meetings, associating with moronic children of other dubs
having to cater for unthankful, free loading, lazy arsed brothers and sisters
were we in the same congregation???????????????? had plenty of those type of dubs, making new converts like me feel privelaged to have them in our homes.
I am grieved over the years (and possibly best years of a persons life) that can only be considered as completely wasted as a dub. The years of strutting the streets, spending beautiful Spring and Summer days stuck inside a hall listening to self righteous arseholes pontificate about their glorious god (read manmade organisation).
I feel sad for my talented husband who gave up sooooooooooo much time and opportunities to be a dub.
But we are all free now, thank goodness.
I fully understand where you are coming from. We may well know some of the same CO's and DO's, maybe even some publishers.
Seems that the borg manages to bring out the same qualities in it's people regardless of where they are.
You and i are the lucky ones..............we got out...............with scars, but out!
cheers mate.

Sad News...
by Sentinel inmy mom had her valve replacement and triple by-pass surgery today.
the operation lasted five hours, and they had just gotten her to her room at 8:00pm when she went into cardiac arrest.
the doctor tried everything, even opening up her chest and massaging her heart.

The Watchtower's Most Heinious, Vile Crime
by TMS ini described myself recently as no longer angry.. that was a lie.. i am angry at the way jehovah's witnesses treat their most precious.
endowment; their young, developing, stumbling, exasperating, questioning, experimenting, growing,.
offspring.. at the very most urgent time in their young lives; when they need the.

TMS...........alot of emotion and passion in your post................and rightfully so!
I was guilty of letting the WTS tell me how to bring up my teenagers and as a consequence lost them for 12 months. I almost let that bloody organisation rule my conscience convincing me that my child being sexually abused was something I had to endure as Jehovah allowed it to happen. I almost lost my 2 older kids because of the unreasonable standards the WTS puts on families, particularly children and parents! But in the end I let my heart lead me and it led me right out of the KH door and out of that crazy cult. Anger will always surface, just less and less as time goes by.
Now I have my kids back, no judgement, no conditions, no religion, just me, my hubby,.........my love, my support and definateley NO WTS!!!!!!!!!

LEHAA...........................welcome and sorry for not noticing you sooner.
Nice to have another Aussie on board. I get into chat in the evenings and weekend mornings but not regularly.
If you want to PM me please do, I look forward to getting to know you. And we all pretty much understand eachother here, to some extent, because the WTS has hurt us all in some way.
Take care and cheers, Bliss
