My JW friend just read Crisis of Conscience!!
by fullofdoubtnow ini have recently been in fairly regular contact with a long - time jw friend who, despite my da status, decided to put our 25 - year long friendship before the shunning doctrine.
she has visited me, discreetly of course, several times, and has read on jwd and other sites when she has been here.
she recently watched some of the child abuse videos on silentlambs, and all she has seen has caused her to doubt the truth of the wts, after 45 years as a baptised jw, with many of those years spent regular pioneering.. it was the local dc a couple of weeks ago, and she only went for half a day, and missed the rest of the sessions, and she hasn't been attending all of the meetings lately either.

My wonderful boyfriend
by fullofdoubtnow ini don't know why, but i felt a bit low today.
i had the blues this morning, and just couldn't shake them off.
i'm usually quite chatty, but i have been very quiet today, and it wasn't long before dedpoet noticed.

Venting about the World Cup 2006
by fullofdoubtnow inis anyone else as fed up with all the hype as i am?
i know dedpoet isn't - he can't wait for it to start, and if he could have got tickets, he would be flying out to germany to watch it.
instead of that, he is planning to watch every england match in his local pub.

Disturbing news
by fullofdoubtnow ini was watching the news earlier this evening, and there was a very disturbing report about how school kids are goading each other into starting fights in the playground, then filming the fights on their mobile phone.
the film is then uploaded on to an internet fight site, and viewers are invited to rate the fights for level of violence.
the main site is hosted from california, or so the report said, but others are feared to be springing up around the world.

I just got this
by fullofdoubtnow ini just took my mum home with her shopping, and she gave me a letter from a sister in my old kh.
the sister was one of my best friends for years, and one of the few people outside the elders who i told i was about to da, and why.
she knows i have moved recently, but doesn't know my new address, so she dropped this letter at my mums this morning:.

My conscience
by fullofdoubtnow ineveryone who ever became a jw must have heard the words "bible - trained conscience" many, many times, i probably heard it, and said it, on hundreds of thousands of occasions.
when i first got in trouble with the elders for talking to dedpoet, they told me my bible trained conscience should help me to see what was right.
i haven't heard the term much lately, but i have thought about it a lot, and my conscience still troubles me quite a bit.. don't get me wrong, i am happy to be out of the org and have no thoughts about going back, but i still feel guilty quite often when i do things i would never have considered doing as a jw.

Right Between The Eyes
by fullofdoubtnow ini have been playing a few of depoets cds and came across this graham nash song on a crosby, stills, nash and young album.
it seems to kind of describe someone who has been duped by the jws and is about to realise it, so i thought i'd share it with you all.
right between the eyes.
