DFed, more positive or negative?
by Sheepish injust musing.... from the vantage point of being "out", it seems to me that being dfed would be really, really painful, but ultimately a good thing.
(i was shunned by my family when i finally left though, so i know a little of what a dfed person goes through, although i didn't put myself through going back to meetings and being shunned) .
i was publicly reproved, and was not allowed to answer in meetings, but i was not shunned.

Stress-relief; corny but try it
by sass_my_frass inhi all, the goods coming from sir's appraisal of the elders school (great job, btw!
) are very upsetting... i know i'm very angry about what the leaders are being told to do, and i can see it in everybody elses comments too.
just thought i'd try an exercise to bring a bit more joy into our lives at this time..... what have you achieved since escaping the cult?

Higher Education Story
by onesong inhere's a sad story of my ex-wife (we had an amiable divorce within the last year after leaving the borg) and her parents and grandparents ( who were both of the annointed-whatever that means.).
my ex's parents followed the advice and lived like the big "a" was coming tomorrow.

Meditation health benefits
by Satanus infunny, isn't it?
watchtower management insists that meditation opens the mind to satanic occupation, or at the least, demonic influence.
yet, science is showing it's health benefits, such as lowering blood pressure, reducing stress.

I may have sealed my fate.....
by atypical inwell, i have been trying to fade peacefully for months, for the sake of my wife and family.
to do this, i have had to hold my tongue about most of what i know, and i have done a good job of it until now.
the other day, i was hanging out with my buddy who misses most meetings, but still believes it's the truth.

Interview with God (Let's write one!)
by AlmostAtheist ingod's been pretty quiet lately, and frankly, i think people have largely forgotten about him.
it's time that he took center stage again and reminded people he's there.
unlike in the past though when he might have killed somebody, floated an axe head, or caused some sort of atmospheric anomaly, today he'd be much more likely to simply show up on the today show for an interview.. let us assume that's what happened.
