Thanks for the pic. The JWs look as bored as the begger, but like Jeanette said, they are begging too. Wonderful pic. Kate xx

Debunking the KCA

by Coded Logic in

for those who havent encountered it before, the kalam cosmological argument is a proof of gods existence and goes as follows:.

) anything that begins to exist has a cause..

) the universe began to exist.. c.) therefore the universe has a cause.. .

Coded logic, well done for your opening post. It's clear to see you have done some extensive reading since your awakening and have a firm view about the existence of God. I have come to the conclusion that there is no proof as to the existence or non existence of a creator. It cannot be proven either way. But to philosophise over these matters can be interesting.

Thanks for your OP, but I however still believe in a creator.

stupid elder

by goingthruthemotions in

as you all know i am just going thru the motions.

well today during the brain washing session.

one stupid elder made the comment of.....an i quote "the jw.org website is the most visited website in the world!

KateWild

It's so sad that JWs believe this nonsense. It just proves the point that control of information really is going on within WT and it works. I am so frustrated that we can't just wake up these JWs. It's so dangerous just thinking this small fact that JW.ORG is the most visited site worldwide. It makes JWs think WT is more powerful and well known that it really is. I find this harmful propaganda and it saddens me to see JWs falling for it.

Divorcing my husband of 13 years...

by 2pink in

my husband and i were both born ins.

i left in 2009, and he followed me out a bit later.

we were one of those couples who followed the script, married young and ended up having nothing in common other than the religion.

KateWild

In most cases divorce is not amicable. It can be a tough challenge to face for all and it takes time to recover. I have been separated four years and divorced for one and we are still in court over custody and contact issues. It seems neverending for us and sometimes that can be the way if you're unprepared like I was.

Prepare well before you take your steps and you could avoid some hardships I am facing at the moment.

glad to see the forum is going strong, lots of new names and stories......and it has only been a couple of months!.

the wt really has no chance in such a world of free and accessible information.

keep fighting guys, the freedom once you are loose of the governing body is awesome, you will be amazed how long you ignored the stench off bullshit as your ability to smell it returns.. and on that note ;) x. .

What a lovely experience snare. Thanks for sharing. Kate xx

RBC New Update and new Britain Bethel News

by Da.Furious in

i have posted some of this info in a different post but due to the additional information i heard i have decided to put all this under new topic.. rbc update (apparently this information is global):.

rbc will be dissolved on 5 october 2014. majority of departments will be shut down and handed over to bethel (construction, planning, training, it and legal definitely will be gone).

age criteria for the new department is under 50 years old.

KateWild

I remember some letters in circulation about the RBC, but they said nothing of hired labour. DaFurious, have you got this in writing, I think it may be a mistake. Having said this it wouldn't surprise me. Kate xx

Divorce is rarely amicable. Brace yourself for a fight. I have been through the mill with custody and contact issues that are still unresolved after four years.

Get all your ducks in a row. Know what you need and prepare for it well and be methodical not emotional.

Here is wishing you a swift and clean break.

Observations from a day at the zoo

by Simon in

so we went to calgary zoo today and i'm torn between zoo's being great for conservation vs using animals to make money.

i think on the whole they are a good thing but it's sad to see some of the animals caged up - somehow i always end up staring into the eyes of a gorilla and it makes me sad.. but that isn't what struck me ... it's these things:.

I love zoo's and aquariums. Such a great learning environment. As for the kids Carts, totally bad idea. Proper laziness. Kate xx

I'm out- Random thoughts on leaving as I look in the rear view mirror

by Skinnedsheep in

jw
friends

it is amazing to look back at three years and see the journey that we have taken.

i went from being an elder to fading completely in the course of those three years.

along the way i am happy to say that my lovely wife woke up and realized that the truth is nothing but a lie.

KateWild

I didn't leave as long ago as you did and building a new life has been more challenging for me that it is for you.

I left in Nov 2013 this is almost a year ago. A lot of bad stuff has happened since then with my ex who is a JW in good standing and my kids. I have tried to get involved in different activities, get a job and volunteer. But it's tough, friends are not the same level as deep rooted friendships you have over years. Family loss is crippiling and nothing can replace them.

Being Df'd and divorced is only one way to learn TTATT, I was unwanted and thrown aside. All the well meaning advice I got to start with was encouraging and I set out to follow it.

I am still left feeling somewhat isolated. I have met someone from my dating, but things are developing slowly as we both have baggage. I don't know how things will develop in the future for me alone or with someone, but it's a struggle getting there. I am volunteering with the CAB (Citizens Advice Bureaux) which provides some human contact, but does not really provide relief to the isolation. I feel very vulnerable and isolated at work. Some of the problems I see are so trivial compared to what I am dealing with, I am crying inside at work. But at least I have human contact.

I have moved on in some aspects in my life, but in other aspects I am suffering extreme hardship and still feel like I am being abused as I can't get away from my ex completely if I want to have contact with my son.

I feel like I am the only one having difficulties. It seems there are plenty of posters happy in their new lives. This is not so for me. Building a new life is more challenging than I expected.

idk if waking up has been good for me.

i still have almost no friends.

im still waiting to graduate this december to qualify n b certified for my job.

KateWild

Losingit, life after divorce and Dfing is a challenge. It's lonely and hard work. Going back to a safe place is always my fantasy...but that perceived safe place was dangerous.

Building a life without a social network is tough and takes a long time. I am still trying to build my life and it's hard too Losingit....it's hard for me too.
