  Me and my brother.

  an earlier discussion has been highlighting the differences between da'ing and df'ing.

  xena said:i am sorry qadreena but i have never in the 20 some odd years i have been a jw ever heard of an unbaptised publisher being d/aed...marked as bad association yes..but d/a...no...but i guess stranger things can happen.... well that brought it all back.. actually xena the exact same thing happened to my brother in the early 80's.

  he was only 14. he'd carried on associating with a friend of his who'd been disfellowshipped.

  So glad this thread was linked and bumped. In all my years here, I do not recall reading it.

  Heart-wrenching, indeed... but I am so happy that you and your brother reconnected, Nicolaou.

  Opinions on keeping your identity secret

  by rebel8 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some ex-jws feel strongly we should all be "out of the closet" so we can present real faces to the public on the issue of cult dangers.

  to those folks i say, more power to you, all the best.. for my own life i have a different approach.. compartmentalizing is healthy for me.

  it keeps my past in the past.

  Now I am not shying away from standing up for myself. What I'm shying away from is doing things to start battles with people who don't matter, when the battle doesn't have any positive outcome that can't be achieved by easier, more peaceful means.

  I feel I've suffered enough at the hands of this cult. I am going to do what I want to do in a way I feel is effective. I'm in the driver's seat now.

  Touche'. Agreed.

  WTWizard....I am curious

  by still thinking in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am curious to know what sent you down the path of your current belief.. personally, i find i am going away from belief altogether...but you seem convinced that satan is the true god worth worshipping.. what was the turning point for you?

  did it begin with sheer dislike for the jehovah god...that is uderstandable when you read the ot.

  was it somthing about jesus?

  2. bible

  today's study article, "do not look at the things behind," from the 3/15/12 study edition, which was reviewed by blondie in her thread, has a footnote on paragraph 12.. the original-language word here translated refuse.

  also meant what is thrown to the dogs,.

  dung, excrement.

  There is something to be said for snail-mail, my Dear.

  I have always loved the feel of paper, the hand-penned cursive writing, the cut and construction of an envelope, and the beauty of commemorative stamps.

  Perhaps I should visit my post office more often.

  :)

  edited to respond to your new post:

  Oh, CoCo! How beautiful!!!

  Love to you!

  Cellar Door

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the little girl was speaking slowly to the psychologist (who was taking notes rapidly) and choosing her words haltingly.. it was obvious to the policemen nearby that she was upset, shaken and trying to cope with her distress.. "my uncle took me to live with him when my parents died in the plane crash.

  he bought my clothes, cooked my meals and made sure i had games to play, tv to watch and any dolls or toys i asked for.".

  she stopped momentarily...as if to sift her thoughts around.
