its funny ive read some stories on here about how they have become so infuriated by what logic dictates as being true and their own denying of it because it completely screws up their belief and shows how hypocritical it is xd some look like a nuclear reactor about to blow xd.
share you experiences here :) .
It's only been my parents. Their denial had that extra sprinkling of guilt ... "our perfect daughter and now she is a filthy hippy and mentally diseased apostate ,,, and she's divorced, the HORROR! It's just not the done thing in our family." But I am the crazy one, not them.. oh no.
I'm with Calvin & Hobbes on this one.

As far as the fam is concerned, I destroyed their Pleasantville.

i think that's the correct phrase?
anyway when i first came here, that little picture that "the rebel" hides behind, was a self portrait of a very sad man, who simply had too much knowledge.
now i feel after 7 months here, i should repaint that " avetor" give some happiness to the eyes, and a contented smile to the lips.. in short my " avetor" was a self portrait of a man with too much knowledge.
Stan livedeath - ahaha! I love that license plate; must show my flatmate. And I am so bad at anagrams, that is gonna bug the hell out of me.
Great topic!
they said we are all the same in god’s eyes.
that everyone is equal.
to prove this they call everyone “brother and sister.” sadly, this really isn’t the case.
Re-reading the OP, I found something that is so true, and to have it 'institutionalized', unspeakably evil ....
Children don't rank, they are possessions.
smh
earlier i posted about my loveless marriage.
i was baptized at a very young age, and during that time period i was having sex.yes i made a dedication knowing i was still practicing fornication.
i had raging hormones since my youth.
Echoing all the supportive comments - get help, counseling, and learn the truth about 'The Truth' (hint - it's a lie!). There is nothing wrong with being gay, NOTHING. It is nature.
As for "Jehovah", he has a lot of crimes to answer for, including torturing his faithful servant Job, just to settle a bet with Satan! Forget about him, and do some research. : )
Also, are you having safe sex? PLEASE do not expose your spouse to STDs. That would be so very wrong. If you are 'on the down-low' and not using condoms, your wife is at risk, too. ** edit - I see you are now separated, but still, get tested.
the governing body/watchtower unduly influences millions into extreme beliefs and behaviors.
and i suspect folks like anthony morris thinks his flock is not obedient or strict enough and there are many rules and teachings the governing body would love to enact but do not have the votes, or even they have the sense enough to know it would go too far.
however, i can’t help how by the time their edicts filter down to the rank and file jw, it causes unintended consequences.
DIsfellowshipping is a great anti-witness. All who have become close to me, hate the religion, and spread the word about the sexism, child abuse (including child martyrs) and shunning.

i'm so old, i can remember when these things were called mix tapes!https://drive.google.com/folderview?.
i've compiled the above into .mp3 below:.

Mixed tapes are what you give a friend for Xmas. A playlist is what a DJ or a band has for a gig, and always has been.
It's a great playlist for a party, and the last 3 songs are kinda interesting... quite the 'theme' going on. Note that at the end of the party .... The Thrill is Gone. lol!
Strategy for Mixed CD or tape: 2 fast and 1 slow, as musicians do, you mix it up so the audience doesn't get bored. xx
so i finished my final year and was forced to attend university even though i was in a crippling depression in my final year, dropped out but attained a high enough mark to get my first choice in uni.
long story short, i wanted to go travelling before uni to broaden my perspective and for a chance to be free and travel australia.
however i'm only 19 with experience in mostly farming and small company manufacturing i don't think i would be equip to get a job to sustain my travel.
September is when students flood the cities and take all the part time jobs, so you may do better another time of year. OTOH, there are always wait-staff, line chef and dishwashing jobs to be had in restaurants. It's not like you are looking for career experience. There are also temporary employment agencies, where you can get day-labour.
Do you live in a Commonwealth nation? If you do, you can get a special youth working visa for Australia, England, Canada, and other Commonwealth nations for 1 or 2 years, depending on the country, as long as you are 29 or under. DO IT!

I sat in there and watched a poor sister with about 4 children struggling to find seats...she looked close to tears. Her face lit up when she saw all these empty rows in the Royal Box........Trouble is eagle eyed attendant saw her making a bee line and raced down to the opening to stop her getting in! (Too unworthy) She burst into tears, it was awful...
Wow, I bet she was happy when you rushed down to help her! Right?
