27Step One
by Peppermint injust registered today after many months of being a silent spectator, hope to tell you a bit about myself in the days/weeks to come, but not just yet.
one step at a time as they say.
i have been helped so much by what i have read here, at first i expected to find bitter and twisted rantings, not so, you all seem very normal.

I too have always lived with the fear of persecution coming and all the horrendous things we would face before the "end"... Even if we leave, do we ever completely lose those fears? I don't know. I think it is so engrained in us, that it would take so many years to be gone. Thankfully we do not dream of them daily..

No one gets me!
by joannadandy inyes it's true...i am having flashbacks of my angsty teen years where my call to arms was always "you just don't understand me!".
miss eyegirl and i have been spending a lot of time together.
probably too much for the safety of the human race.

I am glad you and eyegirl have built this bond of friendship. I too have gone through my years when I wondered if I would have a close friend and leaving the WTS last year caused me to lose friends who although imperfect, did understand me 'in some ways' more than most.. I miss them.. however I am fortunately to have SimpleSally in my life... I'm also becoming extremely close to Morty, even though to date we have not yet met.. but there are friendships we can build and bond with no matter our age.. there is no boundaries.. and as we are learning deepfriendships can be found outside the WTS.
I am glad you have found one!! Heres to you and Eyegirl!! Happy New Year!

I Am Mine
by Euphemism inwhen the pearl jam single i am mine came out a little over a year ago, i was still a witness.
it's easy to see why the lyrics appealed to me at a time when i was subconsciously trying to free myself from the mind control.. i know that i was born and i know that i?ll die.. the in between is mine.. i am mine.. .... we?re different behind the eyes, there?s no need to hide .
.... the sorrow grows bigger when the sorrow's denied.. i only know my mind.. i am mine.. freedom has been a gradual process.

Congrats on your step of 'stepping out' and revealing your name Euph/Dan. I think the world of you and Piph and support you guys in any way... but you both know that already......
I wish I were as bold as you, and I know there are already those who are accusatory on who I might be... but the step of who I am is not quite yet something I am able to do..... even though those close to me already know.

I flipped out on my JW mum - (Vent)
by Sirona ini feel ashamed of how i spoke to her - here is what happened:.
leading up to christmas she emphasised more than once how i shouldn't be celebrating.
she knows i'm part of a pagan religion now and she made comments about me being a "pagan celebrator" and she wasn't being nice about it.

If I spoke with my mother on such terms, I would get that and more back. I'm not even disfellowshippped but I am getting the quiet treatment because I admitted I stopped my JW activities to her. Now I am of the world and she is only sad and feels she has lost me.
I think you were honest with your mother and I respect that. Its sad when our loved ones are stuck blindsided and it affects our relationships with them...

oh my.. I didn't think they really cared what you wore.. Unless of course your clothes were so tight that you could 'see' a thong, etc....
not that I would care any more.. I don't even bother to wear a bra if I don't want to any more...
