Ozziepost you are a good, good man.....
by caspian ini just read a pm that ozzie sent me, although i won't reveal it's contents.
it made me realize the great unheralded sacrifices that ones like ozzie have made on leaving the borg.
the strength of character ozzie has is a good example for all of us just starting out on the same road he has walked.

Foiled conversion attempt!
by caligirl insomeone will be very disappointed tomorrow morning!
i am home on maternity leave right now, and this has given me the opportunity to meet people in our neighborhood that i might never have come in contact with otherwise.

in about an hour my son will be appearing before a judicial committee for the second time in as many weeks.

Are You Surpised By What You Don't Believe In Anymore?
by minimus in.
jehovah's witnesses must "believe" whatever the watchtower bible & tract society publishes.
now that you aren't forced to accept beliefs that you might not have wholeheartedly endorsed, there must be many different things that you don't accept.....what comes to mind?

Underhanded Means and Trickery
by dawn27 indid the elders ever try to trick you into saying too much or even trick you into having to meet with them after you said that you wouldn't?
here is my dilema: i have been inactive for about 18 mnths and moved out of the area, got a new phone number, ect.
i have had the best of both worlds, a good relationship with my family (because i'm not df'd or da'd) and freedom from the borg.

Throwing the baby out with the bath water?
by Steve Lowry insometimes i think that because we jws were so deceived, tricked and flat out lied to by an organization that claims to be the sole representative of god, when we take the step to leave the group we (may) have a tendency to discard god as well, in the process.
i realize also there are those who by their nature (perhaps) and their point of view and ideology, that its just a natural personal kind of evolution that brings them to the point that god doesnt exist.
or, that if he does, it doesnt really play any kind of a roll in their lives.
