since i woke up one year ago , i've been doing a somewhat controlled fade , the experience i've had has been a very solitary one , i don't mean by not seeing anyone i know because i know hundreds in several congregations and i was an elder .

but just coming to terms with the fact that this was no longer the solution to life's problems, that i'd wasted so much time, that as i sat in the kh and heard everyone comment, my heart was no longer in it , i no longer fitted in ..... i felt that they were in the congregation all under the spell or some form of hypnosis from the wtbts,.

it was like for the first time in my experience at the kh , that i was the only one to see what was actually going on , the indoctrination, the guilt tripping, i could see it all as clear as day , and yet i had as it where a metal gag over my mouth, i couldn't speak to anyone about it for fear of them turning me into the spiritual police.

i know there's a lot of threads out there like this but i am currently trying to build my music library so far i have a pretty good list of songs that i can listen all the way thru but i only have like 60 songs.

so i want to see other peoples songs that they could listen to over and over without getting tired of them.

i want to see if there are any songs that other people really like that i might want to add on to my list.

I dunno, Terry. Tell us a story, about your day, or a past event. i love your storytelling .. that is your gift. Please share it with us. No offense intended, but yeah, think "mark twain", and the simple things in which you find meaning. I enjoy it when you talk about life like that.

eg. http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/77740/my-breakfast-jw-this-morning

It's hard to comment on this one, the JWS are so crazy nowadays! : ) xx t

At a certain point in time.....

by Giordano in

at a certain point in time, i am sad to say, being a jw may have been my whole life.

i knew myself by what others said about me.

i was called brother by hundreds, and it sounded right.

Gio, I see a song in this story.... glad you escaped. xx t
