I'm so glad I can now finally treat others as I would like to be treated, not how I was told to treat them by the WT! I can be nice to whomever I want!

by Justitia Themis in

this is from saturday afternoon program.

the speaker first starts with what he called the "alphabet soup" of degrees....a.a., b.a., m.a., ph.d., etc.

; he said they were nothing more than "sheepskins on the wall.

That's disgusting!!! I hope that was a wake up call for anyone in the audience with half a brain.

from http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/136861/1.ashx : .

variable angina.. its when the arteries in your chest randomly all squeeze up just to piss you off.. the doctor said that this isn't heart disease and it wasn't caused by high cholestoral (mine is right on the money) and it shouldn't happen again- this was a fluke.. the doctor was really kind and nice and said that with the amount of pain i felt there's no way i should have maintained consciousness, much less been able to drive 25 minutes and then go to sleep.. then we ended up talking about genital piercings and body modification in general (my xray was lol.

) he was really kind and said pretty much, let's hope it never happens again.. .

Glad you're OK.

i've been out (df'd) for over a year now and the last 6 months or so have my eyes really been opened to the real truth.

now i celebrate being df'd, and have i realized i am finally free from the mind controlling stupid cult.

life at times outside the borg is rough with my new "sea legs".

I've been fading for about a year. Each day that passes I feel more free and less a part of the WTS. I marvel at the time I have on my hands to do things I really enjoy now that I don't have meetings and FS to worry about.

hayden c. covington represented muhammad ali when he refused to sign up for the draft.. covington's argument was that muhammad ali was a religious minister.. this argument failed.

Shunned at Walmart

by Grammy in

the greeter was a woman i once called friend and who (unfortunately now) was baptized after studying with me for a year.

when i walked in i was the only one coming through the door so it's not like she didn't see me, she turned away and ignored me...not wanting to lower myself to her level i simply got a shopping cart and went about my shopping, my first instinct was to report her to management for dereliction of duty but i thought better of that because my doing so would show her it upset me.

i really owe her a debt of gratitude because it was at her baptismal talk that my first strong doubt that it was the truth finally penetrated my foggy brain, as i sat and repeated the baptismal questions to myself at the assembly when she was being baptized i realized they were not the same ones i answered in 1974, that started me on my journey out of the org.

The whole idea of being shunned by a Walmart greeter is hilarious! I would keep going back again and again and put her to the test. Eventually a co-worker or manager will catch her and she'll get into trouble.

I wonder if she is "supporting her ministry" with her Walmart salary...
