let me start by saying that i have the deepest respect for all of you who have left the organization.
some of us choose to leave in spirit only but remain physically for any number of reasons.
i have respect for you because youve been able to push through what i know is a terribly dense cloud to get to the point where you see the org for what it really is.. others choose to fade, which in many ways is harder than leaving out right.
Have to have an anthem, any ideas?"Let Freedom Ring"There is a country song that says this. I believe its sung by Faith Hill, but dont quote me.
Great idea Ip-sec
Well, I thought I said the name of the song. Its called Independence Day. Pretty fitting hu?

today is princess and steve egner (screen names) 17th wedding anniversary.. happy happy!

Have a wonderful anniversary!
as many of you know i live in holland.. i'm visiting the us now and my brother who is now at the convention.
in tacoma wa wants to talk to me about the reason why i left the org.. actually i'd like to, but what i'm afraid of is that it will turn into an argument,.
he and his wife are really gung ho dubbies and .
He, (my brother) is the one interested in why I left.
Thats really good news. In all this time, no one has ever asked me that question (maybe they dont want to hear the answer). My advice (since I have had this very talk with my dad) is go ahead and say everything you have wanted to say, but try to remain calm and rationale. II got upset a few times, and wish I wouldn't have, I think I discredited myself.
Your brother has been trained to talk around in circles, and will have canned responses for your arguments. Thats what I ran into with my father. I didnt let him do it to me. I came back around to the "Generation" change several times, because of how he kept steering the conversation away from it.
Good luck!
my friend told me that she knows of someone who wants to make a grand exit.
it's just a matter of time before she is df'd.
because she is on reproof and well has a vagina she cannot announce her da from the stage.
I have to admit, when my eyes get tired, I get a little dyslexic. I read this, "How can a female go without a bang?" I was ready with a few suggestions. Oh well carry on...
to start my day with: as i was walking down the street towards hell the assembly, i went to cross halfway across the road when a cheese and cracker brother told me that i should "cross at the light so that others can see that jehovah's people are law abiding citizens.
stick my lapel badge up his ass sideways make a good impression so i waited until he was distracted by other jaywalkers and then dashed across the road complied with his suggestion.
once in the building i managed to find a seat next to a guy who looked remarkably like fat bastard was a bit on the plump side.
told me that I should "cross at the light so that others can see that Jehovah's people are law abiding citizensOMG, can anyone say high control group. Mary, you are very very talented. This was such a fun read!
one of the most ironically named posters i've ever seen.

within the few short mo.
(((EVIL))) Your'e great! don't let it get to you.

you as a soul balladeer will be sorely missed
Very sad. Such a talent. Rest in peace Luther.
i think most jws have never really experienced "real" joy or happiness in the jw environment.
i don't think programmed mind controlled people can relate to "normal" things that make the average person happy.
what do you think?
No way, I was terribly unhappy being a dub. Took me a long to learn how to be happy, after I left.
me and amy will have been married 1 year exactly!
cant wait!
we plan to have a bbq if it doesnt rain!!!.
Thats wonderful! Congratulations!
