what does one do with their old placement literature.
it looks like a kingdom hall book room around here, and i don't know how to get rid of the stuff, other than a midnight "drop and run" at the local kh.
not the most desirable option, as the kh is guarded by some old circuit servants in an apartment.. odrade
When I first left the borg I thought too, of dropping them off at the Kingdom Hall or giving them to some other J.W. in good standing...
Then I SHOCKED MYSELF!!! I don't want some other nice person to get these and then they start the descent into the blackhole of the J.W.'s.. so I burned some of them and put the rest out on garbage day.
There.. I felt better.. knowing that no one was going to get their head as screwed up as mine was
WHAT A RELIEF

why do people come along and try to analyse all the posters here?
always reffering to the "many" or the "majority" and swiping them off as being thick or stupid?
its sounds like they are saying: "their posts are not as interesting & deep as mine are they?
My thoughts on this is that we all are progressing through "recovery" from a cult. We are all at different levels in our recovery. The continum runs from A - Z in anything.
Sometimes when you leave, or get kicked out, of something so mind altering as this one goes to the Z place which is the extreme opposite of A. The goal in therapy, life and in "recovery from J.W.'s, in my opinion, is to bring my life to the middle around L - P. And then lead my life with all my J.W. insecurities all gone.
This forum gives me support in this process. Support that I never had, when I was first disfellowshipped and stripped of family and friends.
Some humour is good, .. for the newly leaving J.W. person.. it lets the stress off. So, I have begun reading the humour section, every night before I go to bed.. and it has helped not to wake up in the bad dreams and sleepless nights that are recurrent. I don't particularly like dirty words, or bad language but if it's humour that doesn't suit my taste then I can choose to skip over that.
It's sometimes all about choice.. something that J.W.'s don't have.

what kind of an example are we setting for young witness girls regarding modesty?
i personally think she looks nice, although maybe she should try for some darker colors; but because of her jw affiliation, it justs makes one stagger at the double standards.
If these two tennis girls are J.W.'s . I would say they made alot more money at this than they would at pioneering.
I think too, she would be an inactive J.W., but maybe she just hasn't given up belief in God, as Jehovah, and considers herself to have a personal relationship with Jesus and God.
Who knows what goes on in their heads and what are they thinking.
Maybe these girls are like many of the ones on this forum, who play along at being a J.W. in order not to loose their family.. her mother.. in this instance.
We can only make guesses

on the news at 10:00 a man at a downtown hotel called to complain about the smell in his room.
three days later he checked out.
the hotel staff checked the room and found.... a dead man under the bed.
Probably, J.W. cleaners. Didn't clean under the bed. Too much in a hurry, with meetings, service, studying.

i think i may be coming down with beaver fever...
I had my two timmy's today.
I don't know if I'm a proud Canadian, patriotically, but if I lived in the states I don't know if I'd be a proud American , patriotically either. I think J.W. philosopy kicked that out of me somewhat.
but being a newbie, and Canadian I hope to become.. a PROUD EX-JW who happens to live in Canada.
and I saw a beaver today.

after every sentence, say "man" in a really bad jamaican accent.
at the end of a meeting, suggest that for once it would be nice to conclude with the singing of the national anthem.
babble incoherently at a fellow employee then ask "did you get all that, i don't want to have to repeat it"
I thought these were so....so...so... funny!!!
