Dude are you seeing someone to talk about all this.....you seem to have way too much anger going on here!
I don't think he seems too angry. This is all very fresh. He seems the normal amount of angry to me.
i'm just going to start at the beginning.. i was anticipating the memorial all day.
i was nervous but excited, kind of like standing in line for a roller coaster.. ok. so erika gets ready at her house, and i get ready at mine.
i'm wearing a black suit with a light green shirt, and a tie that had hues of green and yellow in it.

I've made my mom cry. Not intentionally. But for being who I am. Which is not a crack-whore with ten kids living on the street. It's a successful, independent, clean person who has some college education and a good job. A good life that I made for myself. But I am not a JW, and that's all that matters.
Richie is not in the wrong here. He spoke from his heart. His mom chooses to follow unnatural rules that makes her shun her son. It's very sad and unfortunate that our mothers have to feel so badly, but it's not our fault. It's on the shoulders of the WTS.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR EXPERIENCES, RICHIE. (It's very healing to me.)
i'm posting "memorial" accolades on jwd and beliefnet for the benefit of the jw's who attended the annual reject the king celebration.. how about you?.
OK, precisely at sundown I was going for a walk. A blow-off-steam walk. Because this stupid Memorial has been on my mind. Because I know there will be negative consequences for my not gonig. And that makes me feel angry. But the walk did blow off steam. I feel quite a bit better.
And the negative consequences: well, I'm used to them. At least I have them for being 100% true to myself, not due to playing by man-made rules, such as confessing sins to elders.
i just thought of something.

this is my first memorial as a member of jwd.. the only thing i could muster up was a cup of coffee and a doughnut.. i'll be around the real stuff tonight.. warlock .
I wonder how Warlock is faring.
i'm pretty sure that if i went today, it would give me yet another 6 months of peace at home.
but...i simply refuse to go to anymore witness events.
i talked to an ex-witness friend and she told me that even though she's df'ed and doesnt believe in the religion, the 'event' is only 45 minutes and doesnt see why i shouldnt go.
I refuse.
Yes, it will make certain family relationships strained. But I can't do it. I was taught by the Jehovah's Witnesses not to be a hypocrite. I was actually at one time in my life disfellowshipped for lying. So it would be a disfellowshipping offense for me to go.

I'm on Satan's website, JWD.

dawg, I can't forget because my mother keeps reminding me every chance she gets. Which is not that often but once every few weeks or so. I missed her desperately when she was giving me the silent treatment but listening to her plans for me to come back to "the Truth" is so exhausting! I dread our conversations post-Memorial evening, but I still am not going. I can't live my life for her.

Thanks for the welcomes! I'm so glad to be here instead of in a stupid kingdom hall feeling sick to my stomach! They say it's in my head. Well it can't be in all of our heads, can it!?
has anyone ever heard of someone being dfd for celebrating their or their childrens birthday???.
(my first post- took a lot to work up the courage- i'll tell more details later).
How can you get DF'D if the Bible says its OK. Look up Col 2:16. I rest my case.
The Claw.
WOW. I just looked it up. What an awesome point.

This is the first memorial I will miss. It's a weird feeling. But I just can't go.
