  Hatred is like drinking poison and waiting for someone else to die.

  I re-read my first post. Wow! I've come so far!

  Oh, yes! Yes you have!!!

  And:

  And of course, my dear, dear Baba - she has the wisdom and kindness of a grandmother in a young body. She knows that is the highest compliment I can give.

  Yes, I do know compliments just don't get any better than that. And I love you to pieces! Aw, Hon... I am so very, very glad you are here!

  Great big hugs to you,
  Baba.

  a story for easter sunday (aka grab a drink and pull up a chair)

  by ana_dote in

  this is probably going to be a doozy of a post, as i'm no good at giving the abridged version of stories lol especially when they are about me.

  lol i tend to give too many details and not get to the point, but i'll do my best to keep things as short as possible.. that being said, i have finally decided to give you all my background story.. i was born into the organization.

  two older sisters.

  Yes, I did. I felt that I had a closer and better relationship with the Most High than the elders did.

  That is why I am here and they are there... because I was right.

  The effect of this religion on my children & the action I had to take - Part II

  i posted this part of the story earlier this week.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/experiences/191112/1/the-effect-of-this-religion-on-my-children-the-action-i-had-to-take-part-i.

  so we are at the point where my daughter has been taking in my lifestyle for 4 years since she i left the truth when she was just 4 years old.

  my son who is a couple of years younger thankfully seems to be immune to most of the indoctrination from the jws.

  Heavens, Dear Loz! I am so very sorry for the pain you have endured... I can't even imagine it. Losing your children that way, having them all lined up against you...

  You poor Dear. A lot of healing happens here. Stick around... and read Steven Hassan's books. You might even get your children back some day.

  Love to you,
  Baba.

  Through a Darkened Pane

  by compound complex in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  my frequent walks these last few years about the neighborhood so familiar to me would ordinarily be construed a pleasant enough non-event.

  a little mild exercise - taken in small doses to keep the joints operating properly - and a keen eye peeled for the ever-changing face of nature have rendered the daily promenade a suitable diversion.

  until recently.
