Givers and Takers
by wanderlustguy in

i had a teacher in jr. high in my advanced education class talk about givers and takers as a subject.

looking back, perhaps she was going through a rough patchmakes me wonder.. this morning i had one of those moments of realization, basically from reviewing recent events, and even more so because i was mentally rehashing some conversations with someone who means a lot to me.

it dawned on me the role she has come to play in one of the major events of her life, as well as who she became because of it.

i'm new here, so please forgive me if i'm getting this all wrong.. i read on one of the web pages that the society has written "we should pray for the death of apostates".

i think this was a 2000 watchtower, but to be honest i was so shocked at reading it that i forgot to make a note.. .

can anybody enlighten me please??

I LOST IT ... my JW rant today
by talesin in
1. jw
2. friends
well, i just couldn't hold it in anymore.. today, i exploded, talking to my mother about the family inheritance and how i am being screwed.. i told her i had been so angry lately, and just had to tell her what i was thinking, because the anger was slipping out at times, and i was making snide anti-jw comments .... which is not my way.

i'm usually quite direct.. i told her that i couldn't take being treated like a piece of dog you-know-what on the bottom of someone's shoe any longer.. that in the past couple of years, i had learned so much filth about the jws that i was getting more and more disgusted day by day.. i started shouting ... there is nothing wrong with me!!!

why do i have to be shunned when they hide child molesters???.

this girl didn't seem to realize the extent of the "apostasy" on this thread.

is not talking about the planet or why we are alive, but why are you reading this?

why have you sought out this place?

only you know those answers, and i definitely don?t know anything about anyone, but here is the answer for me.
