  I don't know what to say. It happens to everyone every once in a while. Don't be too hard on yourself. As long as it isn't an every day occurence I wouldn't worry too much about it.

  Blood oranges?? Seriously??? They are only called that because the pulp is a reddish color not because they are injected with blood!!

  Speaking of dancing has anybody recently read the WT stance of "freakdancing"? Like I wonder who actually broke that down for them

  I remember when one of the older ones had been told about moshing and crowd surfing about a decade ago. She about had a heart attack.

  not that i want to or anything, but this therapist guy seems to think that it would be really helpful to my wife.

  he says to pull out the good and ignore what you dont like, and that supporting my wife a bit in this way could be good for us as a couple.

  it could also let us have at least some shot at keeping the old social life alive.

  If only I could bring the Sunday newspaper in the hall....that would be great. I think a + or - is in order:

  Go here and get you a book cover: http://ministryideaz.com/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=11&cat=New+World+Translation+Bible+Covers

  Then put a book in it you really want to read and kill time that way.

  Talked with an old buddy last night...

  so last night i went and chatted with an old friend of mine that has been df'd for about 2.5 years now.

  he was asking me why i got df'd, and was asking me about my religious thoughts, etc.

  so i shared with him, about how i felt about an organization that has lied to its members numerous times, and espoused "the word of god" about the 1914 generation, and also the world ending numerous times.

  Some people are just nutty. I know several that are the same way. Brainwashing has never been logical.

  I would just tell them. Dad this is my life now. While I appreciate your concern, I am grown and am capable of making decisions for my family without your imput. I am also capable of settting my own goals for myself. I am not twelve and you need to stop treating me like I am. Love ya.

  Hi there!

  i have been coming to this site to read news and your stories for about a year now, but have never posted due to my mortal fear of somehow being found out... i have family in as most of you do, who are all very sincerely convinced that they are on the path of light.. i have never been happy with the beliefs, mainly the doublespeak on the status of women, the hypocrisy, the dramatisation of the smallest of matters, and the general guilt trip that was my life until i stumbled across some hard evidence that my suspicions about 'gods channel' were well founded.

  unfortunately i am now addicted to turning over every piece of information i can find, there seems to be no end to the amount of $#*& below the surface.

  i will probably remain in this state for awhile, hungrily devouring all the information that makes me feel validated for my stand against much of the mindless rubbish that has gone around me during my life as a jw.

  WELCOME TO THE BOARD!!!! It is wonderful that your husband escaped with you. It is so much easier when you do it together, that way no matter what, you have someone to lean on.

Sunday November 11. Jehovah's Witnesses Convention Lawrence Joewl Veterans Memorial Center: Free All we'll say about this is that if anyone shows up at the crack of dawn and keeps trying to talk to conventioneers endlessly about pornography and heavey metal lyrics and then says, "Now you know what that's like," as they're being escorted out by security, we will sacrifice 20 goats and a virgin in their honor. I laughed out loud.

  None of the faithful men of old needed an organization of imperfect men to lead them and neither do you. Serve God on your own. Even the witnesses will admit that there was no organization between the first century and the JW's beginning, there were just faithful ones. Consider yourself a faithful one serving alone. There is nothing wrong with that.

  As far as your daughter goes, I know I didn't contact my parents much because I didn't want to HEAR it. Didn't want to be lectured on my choice in a husband or my choice to leave the organization. Think about whether or not such conversations take place nearly everytime she is around or not. If so, invite her and the hubby/boyfriend over for dinner and tell her you are happy for her as long as she is happy and leave it at that. This will probably lead to a repair in the relationship. There is nothing worse for a kid than to realize that your parents chose a manmade organization over their child, or at least that is how I feel and think she may be getting the same vibe.

  Best wishes and I hope you can make friends outside the hall soon!!
