I surrendered my youth to the people I feared when I could have been out there loving someone. Don't make that mistake yourself. Life's too damn short."
That says it all. Now 46, I can agree that my youth was wasted in the Borg.

How does Shunning feel?
by DaveNwisconsin injust curious as i had never really been a true jehovah witness.
i would think that you make friends and suddenly you don't exist.
i would think a board like this is a true godsend.

The best example of circular reasonong is that nonsense presented as the Jonsson hypothesis in Gentile Times Reconsidered, 2004 by apostate Carl O. Jonsson followed by the posts of Jethro trying to present another alternative chronology.
Wow 4 negatives in 1 sentence. Like father, like son.

I want to say...
by robhic ini have been reading this forum for a couple of years now and i know this point has been made before but i truly think it needs to be repeated.
i am not, nor ever was, a jw and only arrived here to acquaint myself with "jw-ism" because a friend had joined up.
i needed to study up on stuff so i'd be prepared to (try to) understand where she was coming from with all her new oddball dogmas.

heehee, today is the day....
by BlackSwan of Memphis ini lose the dub look.. in comes experimental hair color.. bleach blond with red.
soon a pierced nose.. a few years ago i did ruby highlights on black and my sister outright said it was too punky and the elders would more than likely take away my privileges.. this is my way of "stickin' it to the man" (ok, i got that from the sprint commercial, but it sounds good.. my husband loves it.
i started the process last night, but my hair is so dark, it's taking 2 days.. it should be interesting running into people from ye ol' hall.. .

Shunned on my home turf for the first time!
by AlmostAtheist inlong story short -- my father-in-law and uncle-in-law came today to buy some appliances from a friend of ours.
while my father-in-law seemed willing to stretch the "necessary family business" clause to its limits to talk and joke and be basically human, my uncle was cold as a witch's dead penguin.
if i said anything to him related to the task at hand, he answered as minimally as possible.

I'm thinking seriously about cutting these people out of my life altogether. They may simply not be worth the trouble.
Hi Dave, I have all but cut everybody off by my not going to meetings anymore. Im still not DF'd yet, though I think its just a matter of time. I've been shunned since I left, so no big deal there. Where I draw the line is at My house. I flat out refuse to be disrespected in my own house by anybody. This includes phone calls. I have already had it out with a couple of sisters calling to speak to my wife. I told them if they cant have the common courtesy to say Hello, how are you, and then ask to speak to my wife, I would hang up. ( These are sisters who would all but flirt we me before asking to speak to my wife ) Now I dont exist. I'm a person not an operator. I have no control as to how people treat me on the outside, but I'll be damned if I will be treated this way in my own house.

WALKING IN THE PATH OF INCREASING LIGHT - WT STUDY
by Mary infor those of you not "keeping up with the organization"botchtower deals soley with all the bullshit instances of "increased light" on this joke of a religion god's organization.
it asks many drone-like thought-provoking questions as i've listed below.
incredible that these guys claim to be the sole ownership of what is absolute "truth", yet change doctrines like i change lipsticks.

As the elders say during pastoral visits "Brother xxxxx how can we help you, or what can we do for you"?
Pastoral visits actually exist? I haven't had one since I stopped going to meetings over a year ago.
