i wanted to post this thread about shelby.. she get's a lot of grief by what she posts on this site, so i thought i would start a post on how shelby has helped ones that have left the borg.. i can't begin to explain how shelby has helped me, i felt like i was in a hole and she gave me answers to the many questions i had.
no matter how many emails i bombarded her with, she always took the time to answer.
yes there has been times when i haven't liked what she posted, but i asked christ to help me understand and he did...... shelby helped me to open my mind and come to the realisation that the borg can no longer stop me from becoming the beautiful person i was destined to become.. i think i speak for many when i say thank you shelby!!!!.
Shelby knows I don't exactly see things from her perspective... but love is okay with that.
an elder once told me "that if the spiritual food he recieves is wrong, and he follows it ,jehovah will not hold him accountable".
all through out the bible it incourages a person to test, ask and seek, and to make sure of all things, so how can he not be accountable ?.
what is the best scripture that would show him that he's accountable for what he recieves.
A more meaningful question for me is...
who holds Jehovah accountable?
your warm and supple skin delights my touch, and the gliding of my fingers up and down your spine creates within my rising spirit an awareness of heavens glory, her gates wide open.. .
upon revelation of treasures long hid from me, i melt inwardly as your trove of precious thoughts works the wheels of my mind and invests it with renewed inspiration and fresh resolve.
your message is no mere dry statement, rife with boring facts, but, bolder still, an ardent declaration meant for the entire world to read, ponder, act upon.. .
Wow. Really beautiful... my words sound hollow but I could not remain silent.
this is bailey.
she turned 2 in march.
the day before her birthday, my son (her dad) was working with numbers with her and pointed to the number 4. she said "daddy, i have to be 2 before i can be 4!.
Oh, Coffee, she's precious!
I love what you said, Sooner...
That smile alone is worth more than we will ever possess in this world.
Coffee, your family rocks.
Love,
Baba.
quick bio: born-in, third gen jw, devout family, dad an elder/po, mom pioneered off/on, baptized at age 10 (my elder dad asked me to wait but i didnt), had overall good childhood, toured bethel, aux pio off/on, finished hs early, reg pio for a year then pio school, met amazing jw girl (also third gen devout), spent a year in community college (paid for by fairly conservative jw parents), got a good job, married amazing jw girl, appointed as ms, delivered public talks and parts on ca/dc, wife and i had first child.
it was a near-storybook jw life (except no bethel).
i had a couple of normal issues in teenage years, but sought the assistance from the elders and ironed it out.
Again, welcome! (Your user name makes me want a snack.)

But we all know what happens when you try to patch a cracked wall if the foundation is still faulty, right? The doubts resurfaced a few months into my return, despite all of my efforts.
Great analogy! And I am so very, very happy your wife is with you. All the best to you and your family!
Love,

hi guys,.
sadly some of them had been in bethel for 5 - 10 years and were still cleaning toilets.. after about 2 years of it i couldn't do it anymore.
i always knew something wasn't quite right with this organization.
Dear Brother Dan,
I am so very sorry this is happening in your life and family right now. I hope for your sake and the sake of your loved ones her anger subsides and soon.
I have only read the first page of the comments, so this has probably already been suggested, but pick up one or both Steven Hassan books "Releasing the Bonds" and "Combatting Cult Mind Control" as soon as you can. His approach helps immeasurably in dealing with loved ones still in.
Love, strength, and wisdom to you (and your wife, too.)
Baba.

Hello and welcome, Thundarr. I am happy you are here. I think Cattail's suggestion of using the front of a program is a good one.
Love,
Baba.

I was actually searching for a guy I knew some time ago with the same name on Facebook but found him instead
That is so cool! I'm so happy for you!
i'm wondering how many of you still feeling a burning need to know god and have a relationship with him.. i am dealing with the horrible emotions of having faded, done some things that would be considered immoral, stopped praying (not sure i ever prayed right) and generally just feeling lost...... what have some of you done to get back on track?
i've been fading for a year and a half.
missing my first dc..... ugh.....having a crappy morning i guess...... just feel like i want to talk to god, but can't.. ironic, huh?
I think it is lovely, FrigginConfused. I highly recommend meditation, to enhance what you are experiencing. It is learning to quiet the "chattering" side of the mind, while the creative side gets a chance to look around. It is a marvelous thing, indeed.
By the way, what I believe you are describing is what many call "the witness". I have attempted to describe it, here:
