Welcome Okram.
I don't post much. I read a lot.
I know that in the anger I hold that I am not alone.
I also know that after a while the anger turns into pity. Pity for those that are so lost.

a letter from the governing body.. dear brothers and sisters:.
"may you have undeserved kindness and peace from god our father and the lord jesus christ".
My 17-year-old niece is preparing herself to go to Bethel. 1) regular pioneering 2) trying to find a trade so that they will accept her. She graduated from home school at 16. She has no social skills. Her grammar is atrocious. She is one ?of the children? setting 'spiritual goals' to live for HIM/THEM! It really sickens and saddens me.
did you leave the watchtower society and the true god ,too?.
i believe that god still helps some of the of the ones still "traped" in the org.
- god helped me greatly while i was still in.
Your unconditional love towards your children and to your fellowman is incomplete love.
Out of everything you posted this bothered me the most AAF. My love for my children is complete, unconditional love. The conditional love in my life is through my ?JW? family. Their love is definitely conditional.
If in fact you are a JW - how many hours did you get to turn in for your field service report for this post? My niece, while playing cards with us, was writing ?letters? to put in Watchtowers in between dealing hands. She put in about 3 hours while playing cards.
new employee handbook .
re: dress code: it is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary.
if we see you wearing $350 prada sneakers &carrying a $600 gucci bag we assume you are doing well financially and therefore you do not need a raise.
Sounds like where I used to work!

have you ever tried to explain to someone who has no religious leaning how you once truly believed that you could live forever and that now you are no longer a jw that certainty is gone, and how hard that is to deal with at times?.
the look of disbelief and pity that you get in return.. maybe thats partly why we need to talk so often to other xjw's.
whats been your experiences.. anglise
I just didn't talk about it for a long time. I would to my husband a little but he thought what I was saying was so far "out there" that I was exaggerating. After getting to know my family & reading on this site some he still now sits in amazement.
Used to he would sit and listen to me ramble, but I could tell he only sit there because he knew whatever I was saying was important to me, certainly not because he understood or actually believed most of what i was saying.
If there is ever a simple explaination, I hope it is shared here.
i am a long time lurker who is finally ready to talk.i am not dfd or da but just walked out on a meeting back in 1981?
?what caused it???.
it was the flip flop in the disfellowshipping rules regarding family.
Welcome Pozate -
My biggest problem was the shunning as well. I began fading over 20+ years ago. I am 3rd generation JW - all my family is still in.

Happy Thoughts I absolutely agree with you. I can not stand this "woman"; when I hear her on the radio i immediately change the station.
Sometimes I roll over and go to sleep; sometimes hubby rolls over and goes to sleep. Does it mean we don't love each other? NO! It means one of us just isn't in the mood. But the days we are both "in the mood" ....
