Does anyone else find reinstated dubs can be the most hypocritical?
by William Penwell ini have seen this over the years that some that get df'd and later reinstated can be the most hypocritical.
one case comes to find about my nephew who was df'd about 10 years ago for cupping a little feel of some dub sisters boobs.
well right away he turns to us non dubs for moral support as he is being ostracized by the dub relatives.

Religions Are - Awesome Quote
by yodastar inmy wife grew up without a religious upbringing.
she was passed down a german bible given to her grandfather in 1935 which had a hand written inscription by two jewish colleagues of her grandfather at the time.
inside was a quote either written by her relatives or anonymous, not sure which but i really had to share it as it really sums it up for me - enjoy!.

Life After the Being Separate from the World
by yodastar inrealised that after leaving many years ago i don't have much of a social circle!!
has anyone else realised that we were not taught to be good in social circles except those that were approved associates?.
i recently went to a birthday party of a 45 year old guy and thought wow - this is what it is like to have formed a healthy social circle.

disgusted with their smugness
by LuckyNun ina few people from my jw past recently friended me on facebook and i accepted.
it was all good and we sent a few catching-up messages back and forth.
then i started seeing their newsfeed posts and it was just a bunch of memorial invite spam and nature photos with smug comments on how the chosen ones had paradise to look forward to.

Exclusive Witnesses might be more Appropriate!
by yodastar ini've been thinking of late that really what is the difference between the exclusive witnesses and the exclusive brethren?
) they are controlling, limiting and the only right way as far as religion goes.. in fact the 'truth' slogan was an amazing marketing campaign and really does work for those members.
are you in the truth one would ask?

My Son is 21 Today!
by yodastar inwell what a great day!
to see my son reach 21 and be a well rounded man free of guilt and fear by not being raised in a cult (well from 5 yrs on) is amazing.
to able to ring your child and wish him happy birthday and congratulate him is a fantastic thing for any parent.
