  This is gonna sound really sad. But what I love to do is go to work.

  I've worked damn hard in the last three years, and now have a really interesting career in the cinema industry.

  Think the reason I love it so much is that my taking on this job was the start of my freedon from the borg. I realised that not every 'worldly' person is evil, that there are intersting and fruitful relationships to be had outside the religion, and that I was actually worth more than being the stay at home wifey trying to aux pioneer once or twice a year.

  Shellllllll (((((ahhhhh, bliss)))))

  God help me - Just finished Crisis of Conscience

  2. experiences

  i don't know whether to laugh or cry.. a friend lent me coc yesterday and i stayed up most of the night reading it.

  it took me 13 hours and i skipped the meeting today to keep reading, i couldn't bear to put it down.. i am shocked but not surprised at how closely ray's thinking mirrors my own in some ways.

  the part that hit me hardest was.... "conviction, it has no meaning or validity unless it is individual, personal.

  Just ordered my copy of CoC. funny, i read through this thread that Ray said 'bas**ds did me over'

  The last conversation I ever had with my mother, she stated that the elders had done everything they could to help me and 'was I attacking her faith?'. She walked out of thelives of my children and I.

  I'm sorry to say I lost my rag and shouted after her... 'those bas***ds have shafted me over'

  i thought i would give don a complete read through of "what the bible really teaches " before i made up my mind but the people on this forum have have done nothing bur confirm my suspicions that jws are really pushing mindless propaganda concealed behind a nice pretty picture.it bothred me that all the liturature appears to be targeted towards children even though they use big words.

  the big red book about revelation had a "this book is the property of" space in the front like the ones i got when i was six.

  i've been wondering how to tell don that im not really interested in become part of his organization but after reading about 1000 posts here i can really see that i would make a very poor jw.

  I constantly wear a pentagram on my person at all times now.

  NOT BECAUSE I AM A WORSHIPER OF THE DEVIL (NESSECARILY) But because I am completely ANTI-ORGANISED RELIGION.

  This religion and all others only stand to have controll over their members.

  Beside as far as the witlesses are concerned' I am from my father the devil'

  This thread is upsetting me quite a bit. I see a councellor now and one of the things we have discussed is my experience with a JC at the age of 14.

  For a lot of reasons I got involved with a lad at school, and did the unmentionable. When my mum and dad found out (long story), my self righteous mother stood with her arms folded in the living room of our hous. She said 'Oh, ........ what will we do if she'd pregnant?'. My ms dad said 'she's having a bloody abortion', at the same time as he was dialling on the phone for the PO to come and talk to us.

  What horredous hypocrisy.! Anyhow's, my dad had a heart attack within 24 hours of this. I felt such terrible shame, I felt dirty.. I still do. horrendous.

  When he got out of hospital, the jc was arranged for a couple of weeks later, and I had to sit with my mum and dad and give, what I consider to be, quite explicit deatil about my behaviour.

  I really do still feel traum about this even now.

  Of course this was in the days when just an unbaptised publisher would have to appear in front of a jc int he event of wrongdoing. The b***rd society changed the rulles a couple of years after this, son that ony baptised pubs went into jc sittuations.

  Too late for all the rest they put through this ordeal though isn't it?

  "full liberty of conscience" (1920)

  here is something we will probably never hear or read again in the wt: .

  "we would not refuse to treat one as a brother because he did not believe the society is the lord's channel.

  if others see it in a different way, that is their privilege.
