by KenUK inwhilst tidying up the ol' hard drive i came across "the purging of my soul", which i wrote as an intro to the philia group.

Good news!
by mindfield inhi there... as you probably knew (not), i'm no longer a publisher.
however, my brother, even though he never was, and only 14 years old, stills clings to the borg.
or so i thought.. you see, only recently we went to a restaurant, and while me, my brother and 13 year old cousin were eating some good grub, our discussions fell upon *gasp* the jw's.

Your Most Embarrassing JW Moment
by Sky inim just curious about this:.
mine is stupid, but thoroughly humiliating at the same time.. my mother made me wear high heels for the first time to an assembly when i was 15 years old.
it was all snow and ice that day, but i made it inside fine without slipping.. during the first session, the naughty girl that i was, had gotten bored, so i decided to go to the restroom.. i guess the floors were wet or something, because i slipped and fell down about 17 or 18 steps.... head over heels, quite literally.. i landed at the bottome with my dress up over my head, showing off all my under "wares: lol!.

Damage Control
by Nute inwhy are so many of us hung up on the fact that we are disfellowshiped or disassociated .... this crazy organization that we all use to belong to is nothing more then a human board game like monopoly and these old guys (angels in the flesh) make up the rules as time goe's on, it brings chills down my back when i recall how my father would say "the faithfull and discreet slave" as if these guys are stuck away in some most holy room in bethel in the very presence of god in order to uptate his world wide organization of a new or revised rule.
being df myself means just about as much to me as the rule that who ever lands on free parking gets all the money ... all it is is a rule that a bunch of old guys (now dead) agreed on years back.
as we have seen the society has changed it's tune about a lot of stuff .... would it really surprise any of us if they decided for what ever twisted selfesh reasons to change their policys on this issue of ousting members.

What does it change really.....
by flower ini'm still me whether the org is a fraud or not.
its too late now to make myself into a different person.
a person is a result of their environment and the way they were brought up.

by D wiltshire incan a person get salavtion if he never reads the bible?.
can person just except christ but have nothing to do with the bible and get salvation?.
if someone lived a trillion x longer than you, and had a billion x more reasoning ability would he come to the same conclusions as you?.

Fear, nightmares and such...
by terafera inokay, something has been bugging me and i'm wondering if anyone else suffers from the same thing.. growing up in the 'truth' i was given many scary 'visuals' as to what could happen in my lifetime.
i remember hearing a talk that my family taped that was considered a real eye opener.
it described no water, witnesses living in the cold woods.. your own brother being captured by the officials and ratting you out.

And they talk about love?
by Xena inwith the 4th anniversary of my parents death looming and the anniversary of their last wedding anniversary party where my family was together and happy for the last time just being past ....i was feeling kind of depressed and wanted to reach out to what family i have left.
i sat there and debated in my mind if i should do it...should i try and reach out to my sister..see if i could reach her across the barrier of the jw religion.
should i try to remind her that we are sisters...we were sisters before we became jws and we will always be sisters.
