mum phoned last night to see how we all are.
after fifteen years away from meetings and my old jw life you'd think my fade could be called 'successful' and for the most part it is.
.. my resentment at being lied to and having wasted over thirty years of my life has left me like a glass of water full to the brim, it only takes a tap to make a mess.
Sorry to hear about this nic,
My parents were never JWs and I had someone to run to when I was Df'd, my daughter faded too and my son is out too.
It sounds like even though I have been out two years I am more out than you due to my circumstances.
I am so sorry this cult has put such a terrible strain on your relationship with your mum, and you still feel there are things left unsaid. It's so frustrating for me as I want to stop you feeling so restricted.
Sorry Nic

the topic of circumcision has been brought up a few times recently.
then i wondered... .
how do women really view circumcision?
What is appalling about removing foreskin?
Many people say the penis is cleaner and less susceptible to infection without foreskin.
How do you know about sexual stimulation? There isn't any research that can be done to compare this.

I had my son circumcised also. No big deal. I don't think it's as abusive as being in a cult and being shunned.

those of you fading- with the memorial approaching are you going to appease family?
not going and making up an excuse?
acting like your going but not really?.
I am not a fader. I wish I was but I spoke my mind to quickly. Last year I was encouraged to go to the memorial.
As I am df'd it's just another opportunity to be ignored and shunned......I would rather talk to JWs at the trolley than go to a memorial.
My daughter is a fader and stopped going two years ago and never attended a memorial.

The actual anatomy has no bearing on the priority in a relationship. If a man is generous, considerate, has a sense of humour and intelligent. It doesn't matter to me if he does or doesn't have foreskin.
I have no preference

just happy to be alive....can barely move ☺.. a girl who just got her license , and a new suv....thought it might be cool to pass the person in front of her....at a curve......on a two way road!!!!!😠😠😠.
very mad puppy.
Wow, What news. Glad you're home now and nothing is broken.

however, i haven't found any evidence to support that belief.. have you?
if so please, show me the evidence that god exists, and i will believe along with you.. criteria:.
(1) you must specify which god you are talking about;.
Juan,
Why are you asking for evidence about the existence of God?
If you are happy being an atheist there is not need to question God's existence.

still offering great advice and help.
awesome job.
Wow coma,

one of the most common thing thrown at atheists is - lots of intelligent people believe in god.
this darkmatter 2525's video is an excellent explanation as to why very logical people possess religious belief systems.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y201qzddzbg.
Yes I am well Angus,
But I disagree, your ridiculous claim is that I was indoctrinated to believe in God, but my parents are both agnostic and atheist. So your claim is not supported by the evidence.

I don't think anyone is religious because of intelligence, they are religious sometimes in spite of it. - Simon
Lol hahaha very good. Einstein believed in God xx

Angus,
You are intelligent and making the ridiculous claim about why intelligent people believe in God. I am intelligent and believe in God because of my scientific knowledge. Which I was discussing with cofty on another thread.
Scientific facts lead me to believe it's more probable that evolution was guided in the first stages.
But if you can prove me wrong as you are a chemical analyst also I will rethink what you're saying is a ridiculous claim.
