  OutKasted ;-P

  by SpaWn of MeDusa in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  hello in there ;-p. wow wow wow.... i never knew such a place existed.... unfortunatly i don't have a lot of time to type right now & believe me i'd need days, perhaps even weeks & i'd probably still feel like i wasn't done.... in short... my name is jodie, i'm from australia, i'm about to turn 32 & i am a jehovah's witness outkast... i wasn't kicked out, i left of my own accord when my parents divorced & i was about 14... my father, my younger brother & me - the 3 black sheep !!

  my father was disfellowshipped, he was an elder who also happened to have bi polar... the day ( or technically night ) my father was disfellowshipped was the saddest time of my life - it was more like a death or a funeral, something tragic... when my parents divorced i went to live with dad, i was always closer to my father plus when he left he had nothing... he lived on the river bank in the middle of winter for 6 weeks in a tent ( while his good christian jehovah's witness father & sister slept warm in their beds in the same town... ) dad bought a little caravan & he & i lived in it, eventually he bought some land & built a house & my younger brother joined us.... anyway to cut it all short... i've suffered badly from depression - so badly it's almost killed me & my brother also... the crux of our depression is our mother, our sister's, our grandfather, our aunt's & all of our relatives are jehovah's witnesses - most of them live in the same town as us altho they may as well live on the other side of the world.... you know, sitting here thinking about it all - it all makes perfect sense... how can families be torn apart like this, how do they not realise it is wrong & sad & wicked ??.

  i've spent more than half my life trying to have any sort of relationship with the rest of my family.... anyway i have to get going.... hasta la vista .

  Hi Bufftang and everyone else here as well, I do drop in regularly to read your posts but I feel I have fallen silent probably out of shear laziness hehe. Thank you Bufftang for your thoughts and I want to wish you all the best for the future. I am very happy these days being free from the borg. Late last year (during my birthday in fact) Chris proposed to me. So we have the joy of planning our dream wedding, we just booked our place for our reception *GORGEOUS* It's quite overwhelming, I am as you can imagine extremely emotional because I never really thought I would be planning my wedding so yes hehe. My mum and her new husband (who are still JW orientated) are coming and I am honored to have her walk me down the aisle. Without boring you anymore with the details Chris and I are very happy Love Josh

  it may have already been talked about here but i just saw it last night with some other "apostate" friends.. wasn't it amazing in it's similarity to the borg.. my favorite scene was everyone reading together "dick and jane" talk about a great watchtower study depiction!

  I really really enjoyed this movie, I thnk it was up there as one of the best I saw for 2004. I think the main reason I liked it was because of my past and the happy ending.

  I remember coming across a fair amount of "APOSTATES" at the doors, being the ignorant witness I was though everything they said no matter how logical just sounded like tragic nonsence to me.

  All australian wildlife evolved from fishy's .. you see they didn't need to hitch a lift with Noah, they "just kept swimming, just kept swimming" then when Noah came out of the ark the fish decided that they hated swimming, yeah they were over it! So they did a super quick evolution jump to become the australian wildlife we know today .. of course they swam all the way to australia fist before they evolved .. didn't you know that ? monk3y is back

  i was just watching a sit-com and someone made a reference to boxer briefs as being a sign a guy is gay.

  Are boxer briefs gay???

  Yes ! The reason, because they are practical and make you look HOT!! And we all know that any man that likes such things is called a homo .. isn't jealousy great ?!

  Wear em proud boys!
