I must conclude that they could be heavily doctored to an agenda that attempts to justify Jehovah's Witnesses' view and translation of
the Bible, to the point where the data would not just be deceptive, but be even totally made up.

LOL, he's got JW's pegged.

Interesting read, thanks for the link, alleymom!

How has the forum helped you?

by avidbiblereader in

jw
friends

whether you were over the wt or not, how has the forum helped you?.

does it still help you or are you here strictly to help others?.

did the forum get you through any rough times?

Mystla

When I first found ex jw forums I was a mess. They have helped me figure out that I'm not alone, that I'm not "bad," and that I can be "normal."

I can't think of any specific examples, sorry.

What's your pet peeves?

by Hannah in

jw
friends

rude and ill-mannered sales people, telephone solicitors, and people who use their sleeves as tissues and napkins..

Mystla

People who let their dogs run loose.. I can't walk my dog (on a leash) without being accosted by every dog in the neighborhood.. and they shit on my lawn.

Family dropping hints about the "end" and paradise. with a too bad you won't be there attitude. or even worse..with a tear in their eye.

Biggest pet peeve.. people implying that my husband isn't really sick just because his illness isn't visible. Nothing gets my blood boiling more.

Fading Music

by choosing life in

jw
friends

if there was only one cd you could choose that helped you through the time you were fading from one set of choices to another, which one would it be?

just one now.. mine would be cheryl crow-wildflower.

of course there were others, but i limited this to just one.there are several songs on there that helped me express my feelings.. then, i also relistened to all my old music.

The album I played most when getting out was Sarah Mclaghlin's mirrorball.

There are many songs on that album that were very personal for me. I had just seperated from my husband so songs like "path of thorns" really touched me deep. I was betraying everything I knew with a new man, so " sweet surrender" tore me apart everytime I heard it, yet I played it over and over. I truely felt like there was nothing left of me.. I was new and raw and sore and exposed, this song described exactly how I felt.. every word.

Sweet Surrender

It doesn’t mean much
It doesn’t mean anything at all
The life I’ve left behind me
Is a cold room
I’ve crossed the last line
From where I can’t return
Where every step I took in faith
Betrayed me
And led me from my home
And sweet
Sweet surrender
Is all that I have to give
You take me in
No questions asked
You strip away the ugliness
That surrounds me
Are you an angel
Am I already that gone
I only hope
That I won’t disappoint you
When I’m down here
On my knees
And sweet
Sweet
Sweet surrender
Is all that I have to give
Sweet
Sweet
Sweet surrender
Is all that I have to give
And I don’t understand
By the touch of your hand
I would be the one to fall
I miss the little things
I miss everything
It doesn’t mean much
It doesn’t mean anything at all
The life I left behind me
Is a cold room
And sweet
Sweet
Sweet surrender
Is all that I have to give

The song from that album that is most current for me is Hold on which breaks my heart. Knowing my man's health is unpredictable.. well it's just too applicable. I wake up every day hoping for a "good day" for him.

My current fixation is Natalie Merchant, during her ten thousand maniacs era, in particular. I just really love her voice!
