  What kind of Apostate are you?

  by diamondblue1974 in

  1. jw

  i've been on this site now for a little while and think its brilliant and its been a tonic in getting things straight and for gathering research.

  (thanks simon & ang).

  in fact its difficult to get work done during the day because of reading posts on here.. a couple of months ago if someone wouldve asked me whether i was apostate i would have flatly refused partly because the indoctrination still has its effect even after a decade and the negative connotation attached to the word 'apostate' is still at the back of my mind.

  I dont think I am an apostate. If I post on this forum, does that make me one? Dont know, kinda new to all this, but I like it!

  You know you're NOT a JW anymore when...(add some)

  you don't automatically wake up with a headache on sunday morning.... you no longer go around (while in field service) mentally deciding what home you'll "have" after armaggedon.... every item of clothing you buy as a woman is not first assessed for its modesty value.... you no longer worry about the 144,000 watching you have sex...:).

  when on holiday you don't have to find the nearest kingdom hall asap (remember brother and sisters you are not on holiday from jehovah!!!).

  being able to laugh about having a numb ass at the assemblies from sitting and the hilarity in having to tell people that you found the meeting "uplifting" when really you were fighting sleep the whole time.... you no longer have to avoid entire sections of music stores in order to make sure you don't pick up and "demonistic" vibes from backmasked cd's.

  I guess I can handle my own grief, would just be nice to walk up to my grandma and give her a big hug and tell her how much I love her. I just may do it anyway! And I dont think she would mind. You all are just great!

  KLS, you just wait! LOL

  Billboard Contest Now!

  by Perry in

  2. friends

  i have long thought that a billboard campaign might be effective in reaching many jw's, especially those without a computer.

  imagine a large donation to jwd with the stipulation that it support a message billboard near every assembly hall and summer convention center.

  what would you write?

  and its 'goodbye from him'

  i've taken a leaf from holly's book to thank your for having me on the forum - thirteen interesting days but came to realise one cannot achieve much speaking from behind a screen.

  people do not know who you really are, nor do you they.

  i read many of holly's posts but few others.

  Like I said, I get more from all of you, than I would ever get from anyone in the JW'S. Thank you! It is pretty sad that you can get more from people you dont even know, than people who you grew up with in the congregation.

  Gotta get some rest, but will respond tomarrow! Again, thanks for your support!

  I may be totally wrong on this, so any "previous elders" can help. I always thought that cremation was against the religion. Back in say 1985 or before? I was told no tonight by family members. Ok, one family member who still talks with me!!!!!!!!!

  I told my boyfriend tonigh, I will get more loving response from this forum, than I would ever get from anyone who is one of JW's! And I was right! I have had more love in this forum, than I have ever had in the 18 years growing up in the "truth"! I am thankfull that I have people to talk to that understand, and acutually CARE!
