lately i've been feeling just so fed up with this stupid religion i really can't take it anymore!
i'm starting to think that maybe i should just tell my parents how i really feel.
if they treat me too badly or kick me out i could probably stay with my non jw aunt.. ive just reached my breaking point, i don't really care what people think of me anymore.
BW, I am so sorry you had a big blow out with your parents. They sound very strict and determined. They are not listening to you at all, and it's down right not fair and unreasonable.
I agree with everyone that you need to have a conversation with your aunt. Develop a trusting relationship with her, and see how she responds.
Keep us informed

noone and nothing can really prepare you for the burning pain you feel when your spouse leaves you after 8 years of marriage.
from one day to another, all your dreams, hopes and plans are shattered.. i still have so many questions which will remain unanswered in eternity.. the thread i made a few weeks ago, is part of this story.
after learning about ttatt my plans involved to wake up my wife as well and exit the truth.
nevaagain,
I am so sorry about this. It's so painful to be rejected by the one you love. Healing takes time and for some it takes longer than others. I am divorced and it took four years for me to start dating again.
Dating new people is fun, I even had a relationship for 6 months with someone. Meeting new people can help towards the healing when you're ready.
Take care

it is a stretch to call my dodgy poetry 'entertainment' but i wasn't sure where else to put it.. .
self-fulfilling prophecy.
precipitation.
Thanks Gargamel, Compound Complex will like this and Nancy Drew if she is still here.

i wanted to write my experience on how my husband helped me see the ttatt (the truth about the truth).
first, let me mention that he wrote his own experience a couple months ago under the name sanchy.

Thanks corruptgirl for telling us your happy ending. Everyone loves a happy ending. I used some of the techniques Sanchy used with you, with my kids. They are awake to TTATT too and it's great for them.
I think all your points about how Sanchy approached you were excellent and would work with many loved ones.
All the best

this week my son expressed he is agnostic as he is not sure what to believe about evolution and the common ancestor.. i thought any jw hang ups were gone.
i told him that what they teach in school is trustworthy and he can be rest assured that there is evidence to support that the common ancestor was the real link to the evolution of humans.. he has got critical thinking skills.
and responded with "for hundreds of years schools have been teaching things and have changed their thoughts".
Lol, Glad you've got a sense of humour WMF

i'm wondering why believers remain members of this forum which is clearly hostile to believers.
as one member said, nonbelievers pounce on any semblance of belief like piranhas on prey.
as former jws we should have had our fill of judgmental know-it-alls, but here we are.
I was referring to the feel of the forum this past week, not just this specific posters contributions - WMF
What do you mean the feel of the forum? It feels great to me there are lots of new posters and they are all unique with lots of different stories. It feels fine to me and I appreciate all their posts.
I am glad you're not talking about Believer specifically, all new posters need to feel supported I think.

It feels like a cult recruitment drive by the usual suspects - WMF
WMF, It's obvious you dislike people who have a belief, but Believer is not trying you to believe what she believes at all. It is in no way a recruitment drive. If you feel people are pressuring you to do something by what they are expressing then just don't read it. You are jumping to stupid conclusions without any hard evidence.
Believer, I welcome you here to this board to discuss anything JW related or belief in God. I am here to support you if you need it and so are many others.

We went to a museum together and looked at all the skulls dating back 7 million years to today.
He grasped the fact that it's a slow process of change and that it is small changes that take place. So inspite of the fact there are not more skulls and links there is a picture and there is evidence that humans came from a common ancestor.
I will do some of the recommended reading too.
Thanks everyone for your input except WMF.

Witness My Fury - "I think Kate is trolling again..."
Um, how can someone troll their own thread?
Well Vidiot, WMF obviously doesn't like me. Some posters have predjudices and that's life. It might be something to do with the fact I know more about chemistry than him. Or it might just be because I believe in God. Who knows. But I have got passed caring.
Thanks for pointing it out though.
