I understand what you are going through and feel sad that this cult is damaging yet another nice person. Be kind to yourself. Are you on any medication for your depression?

but the elders want to visit you.

this was just said to me by a friend who was disfellowshipped just over 2 years ago.
she just had a miscarriage, and her partner dumped her rather than supported her through this process.
she told her jw parents, and they refuse to even call her or offer her any emotional support.
I think Kate has summed up the feelings of us on here. We feel her pain and will be there for her.
I understand what it feels like to go through losing a baby. Her parents are making a mistake cutting themselves off from her. I am always shocked and hurt at how heartless this cult really is.
Thinking of your friend.
the magazines were left in my door today.
skinny little things with a lot of pictures and bullet-type commentary.
actual articles are almost non-existent.
Interesting. I spoke to an elderess about this when I was still going earlier this year. She said it was to reach a larger audience, some of which were not so well educated and thus the pictures and bullet points. How bloody smug and patronising!!! That'll endear people to you every time.
Give those idiots in the WT enough rope and they'll hang themselves.
if anyone knows mouthy/grace gough, it would be awesome if someone would look in on her.
she is feeling the effects of the ice storm and is all alone and it is christmas eve.
i just sent her an email and received this reply back:.
Hi Grace. Glad you're back on track. You sound like a legend!!! It's amazing the people you find on here. So glad I found you all.
Happy New Year.
hi guys.
hope you all had a good christmas and a peaceful time with your loved ones.. the reason i ask this question is, i have lived in many areas due to work committments.. i find in the areas which have lower standards of schools, have more congregations.
yet, in more affluent and better school areas, there are fewer kh's.. i hate to stereotype but are the borg aware of this and turn it into their advantage?.

dear brothers.
after some struggling with trying to make the bible's account of creation square with the physical evidence presented by science i was so pleased to recieve the latest awake magazine (march 2014) via jw.org with it's lead article "the untold story of creation".. your detailed article provided vast amounts of credible and scientifically based evidence that counters even the most determined of evolutionists.
this article shall be an absolute blessing in the ministry and shall no doubt be instrumental in changing the minds of countless ones we meet.. the material is certainly new, detailed and clearly presents more than compeling evidence of as yet unknown arguments and evidence for creation that are irrefutable.
You know what to do if you run out of paper to light the fire.......
i nearly peeed my pants laughing.
what a good idea though!!!

i'm not sure anymore....was he the son of god, or just generally a good person?.
i'm not atheist or agnostic but i just want something real and true..

i can't believe hubby and sis in law actually went out in service today.
when he left this morrning i reminded him to inform those who didn't slam their doors on them that if they join your cult that this will be the last christmas, holiday and birthday they will be allowed to celebrate.
i thought it very inapproiate going out today to knock on doors trying to get converts..
Hey, WFM. That's a damn good idea. What's good for the goose and all that!!! Poor lady. Being subjugated to this horrible religon.
just got back from my local store.
two "sisters" completely blanked me.
i just laugh about how shallow and cow-like their actions are.

I have spoken to other friends about "shunning" and their mouths literally drop open in disbelief. I am glad though because I now realise what a stupid cultish organisation it really is. Their members are just like the walking dead.
Hurray for freedom.
