Divorce came through
by cyberdyne systems 101 intime for reflection i guess, i had thought i was further along in the healing process, but sometimes i seem to slip right back to where it all started.
though i will never go back, i can see why people cling to something like the witness.
they want to think they are doing something worth while, have some order and purpose in their lives, have a pool of people that can befriend.

How many people do you 'witness' to?
by cyberdyne systems 101 ini find these days that i'm talking to so many people about being a jw and why i am not one now, and in a sense 'giving a witness' as they would term it - only from my point of view its to say why they should avoid it.
i always say to people to ask any witnesses who call on them to ask how the animals managed to cross over the continents after the flood?
like how did the kangaroo's get back to aus?.

Confession time...
by cyberdyne systems 101 inthought it might be good to confess the things we did knowingly while in the borg.
i'll go first with a taster: i once used a contribution from the public that i got from 'placing' a magazine, and used it to fund buying another magazine (top shelf) .

Is arguing good?
by cyberdyne systems 101 injust wanted opinions regarding having arguments.
my usual take on someone i love wronging me is to be forgiving and not argue about it.
i wondering if thats not the most healthy way of dealing with matters.

Engagement party - not invited
by cyberdyne systems 101 inok i'm not at all surprised to not be invited to my sisters engagement party as she is a jw and i'm df.
i was telling my girlfriend about it and she was shocked that as a family member i wouldn't be involved.
she already knows that as far as a wedding goes i'll probably be invited to the ceremony but not reception and that i'll be shunned at the kingdom hall, but i think the fact that the engagement is at my parents place she was so surprised that someone is so cut off from family things when in an unapproved status as per the wts.. like most people who have never been a witness, they don't realise how mental the whole thing is until they witness it.

Disfellowshipped but sister in the 'truth' to be married soon
by cyberdyne systems 101 injust wanted to start a topic on an event that will occur sometime later this year - namely my sister is to be married.
she is a witness as is her boyfriend, none of his family are in but only myself and my dad are not (he has never joined) from my sister imediate family.
so i was wondering what to expect, what experiences people here have had being someone who has left and then later been disfellowshipped, and then finding they might be invited to a witness wedding?

My daughter had a word with me
by cyberdyne systems 101 ini went to collect my two daughters last night and my eldest (8) wanted to have a private word with me.
she took me upstairs to her room and said she didnt want me to get her birthday presents as she would be pleasing satan!
although a little taken aback about the fear and attitude her mother and the wts are instilling in her, i simply asked her if it was her fault that i choose to celebrate the day of my daughters birth, like she has some control over people's gift giving?

A wonderful person
by cyberdyne systems 101 ini havn't posted for a little while having gone back into a lurking mode, for no other reason that i've not had any opinion or thought to post recently.. but i felt i wanted to do an update on a post i did about some valentine flowers i received.
i discovered who this lady was and despite still having a lack of self worth (like thinking why would this beautiful woman be interested in me) i plucked up the courage to speak to her and we hit it off from the get go.
she is such a gentle, warm and kind person - in fact it brings a tear to my eye just thinking about her lovely qualities.

Valentine flowers follow up!
by cyberdyne systems 101 ini just had to share this with you all!
i posted earlier about getting some valentine flowers delivered out of the blue, well i work with my brother (an elder) at my parents house (mother is a jw), and its been hilarious seeing the way both of them have completely ignored the flowers as though they are invisible.
i'm not so cruel as to say 'seen my flowers?
