  Hi leslane,

  I had to leave my comptuer and could not post sooner.

  Yes, this is a great place! I know that the love and concern (not) has gotten to me as well as a lot of people I knew when I was.

  Yea, love and concern my a**, all they do is get close to you, acting like the love you, just so they can take the newly found info and run with it. They love to gossip!!! That is one of my main reasons that I just can't stay, they are too much of hypocrites.

  One question to eveyone here though, what is this generation thing your talking about, I never heard of it.

  I don't know how to hook- you - up with a link I think would help with the info on the new light about the generation. It would explain better than me. Maybe you can start a post like you did for the question you had posted about 1975. I'm sure you will get quite a few links that way. BTW Welcome to the board!

  In DOUBT THROW It OUT

  its been awhile since i've posted, i thought i'll drop in and say hello too all the newbies, but i've been reading the posts ocassionally and they have been encouraging to see people take the courage to change from the jw mindset and try too move on with there life.

  for those of you who don't know me i disassociated myself from the wt in june of 1999 with a big smile, have not looked back since.

  my wife was still going at the time with my two kids, this weekend was her convention to my surprise, she did go nor has she attended any meetings in the past six months, since we moved away from my loving mother in law who is still a devout jw, that just bring tears to my eyes, tears of joy cause she can't speak to me, that's a plus, lol.

  Do You Kick Yourself For Going To Meetings When You Were Sick or During....

  by minimus in

  inclement weather ?

  i remember having to wait until just about the last minute to call my bookstudy to tell them whether or not a meeting was being held or not.

  and these poor people hoping to enjoy a legitimate meeting off would be told by the elders whether they were expected to go or not.

  I had good reason to miss meetings once, because of a serious accident and they tried to drop- kick me into going to the hall. But , I said I am not going, because I am in to much pain!

  WHY THE HELL DO I STILL FEEL GUILTY??!!

  by Mary in

  ok, i've known for a long time now that this is not "the one true religion", but i can't for the life of me, seem to make the final break.

  i seldom go to meetings and am usually bored out of my mind when i do go, but for the life of me, after i've missed about 3 or 4 weeks i start feeling guilty about "missing meetings" and i'll go.

  i'm really frustrated and angry with myself that i can't make the break, but in all honesty, there's still some people at the hall that i care about and i guess i'd miss them if i left completely.

  Mary,

  It's just that some people that I really care about still go, and I'd be really hard not to see them any more.............

  That is why I stayed as long as I did. I had some people that I really cared about and I still think of them from time to time and

  remember the good times . And remember, the people here care about you a lot, and I look forward to getting to know you it sounds like you are a sweet heart.

  Mary,

  It has been years since I have been to a hall.

  The more I didn't go the easier it became and the quilt lessened as time passed. Now I don't feel qulity at all.

  Add to that that their mind control tactics get tiring / ridiculous, it is time to leave.

  Especially when it happens over decades , and they act like the controling behavior is showing you love !

  So tell us more about yourself, unless you need to remain anonymous.

  Jst2laws

  Well for right now, I would rather remain anonymous.

  Thanks so much for the warm welcome everyone!

  teaching people. I also got burned - out on all the gossip and the other social garbage. I didn't feel or see the love they say they have.

  I came out of the world and I always resented the WT's portrayal of worldly people. I've met so many wonderful people from all walks of life

  that they consider bad association. I would rather be in the world than be a robot for the WTBS any day. I have been reading the posts and

  decided to post now myself. This is a great place to learn and to get the support a person needs after leaving the Borg.

  I am so glad to be here.
