The biggest LIE you believed as a JW...
by Waymores Ghost infor me it was the belief that all people who refuse to become jws are intrinsically bad.
if someone doesn't accept the "truth", naturally it's because "satan-the-devil" has hardened their hearts.
when you're a dub, you tend to ignore the ramifications of this.

"Just When I Thought I Was Out....."
by undercover in"....they pull me back in".
anybody ever felt like that?
not leaving the mafia but that you think you have completed a fade-away from the wts only to have elders and family start hounding you all over again?.

They cant pull you back in unless you want them to. They cant make you do anything. Only you can make you do something.

God you know who this is, I've left you enough messages over the years. Anyway to cut a 39 year story short I am going to imitate you and ignore you now for the rest of your life. You can call me as much as you like and try to answer as many of my messages as you want but its too late now. You ignored me when I prayed for years on end to help my mum and stop the cancer. You ignored that and she died anyway like you have ignored everything else I have asked you for. SO do the world a favour and get to writing a book that makes sense and cant be interpreted in 15 billion trillion different ways. Oh and by the way, tell your son's organisation to go f*&K themselves and leave me alone. I gave at the office.

The Bible: The most interpreted piece of literature ever!
by Nosferatu in.
i find it absolutely amazing how people will spend hours upon hours interpreting one book.
the second most interpreted is probably the beatles' white album.. what else have people interpreted?

Whi stuck up their middle finger and decided to interpret it as giving someone the bird, an insult?? Who interpreted it as an insult and gave it significance and meaning and how did it spread. Answer me that oh man with bow in hair and I might concieve that the bible is not the biggest scam ever concieved of!

Has Anyone Ever Met Any Celebrities?
by imallgrowedup inthis is a spin-off of another thread where my *mild and chaste* friend, mouthy, admitted to wanting to meet her dream man, tom jones, and that she would even go so far as to throw her bloomers at him, if that is what it would take to get his attention!
well, the mental picture this painted was far too much for me to bear, so i encouraged her to save her red polka-dotted "unmentionables", not only because she might need them in the future, but because i didn't think she'd have to go that far to get his attention.
and i said that - because of a personal experience with him.

Goodluck freelife. Having a worldy family I also have to concur with what someone else said about the regularity of contact. I think familes can sometimes fall into the category of using each other but what are families for? I feel for you I really do and I can see in their a son making a heart wrenching decision. However having lost most of my family to death, I can tell you the world is a lonely place and family, even bad ones make it a little easier.
Gosh I wouldnt like to say to you one way or the other about whether to rewrite the letter. I know from experience that this is something you have agonised over and given many hours of thought. Having said that it seems a bit JW's either or style. You have given them the ultimatum of accept you and your family as you are, involve yourself more in our lives on our terms or we say goodbye. Seems a bit harsh but I can see that emotions are involved. If you feel this is what you need to do to get on with your life apart from the truth then go ahead and do what you need to do. However, you have to live with the consequences and it will not be easy.
Its up to you totally and know that we will be here for you to try to help you as much as we can. Hugs to you freelife and I hope you can work your way through this and resolve it with dignity and to help yourself start to heal.
