Hi, First Post
by AuroraB inhey there.
i'm new to the forums and just had to say hi, and thank you to all of you who've shared your stories which have let me know finally and for sure that i'm not crazy and nowhere near as abnormal as i've been feeling...well, forever, really, but more so over these last few years!!!
i can't tell you what a good feeling that is, but i suspect you already know.

"Bad association, spoils useful habits" - Gag!
by WingCommander inanyone who was raised a jw like myself, immediately cringes at the site or sound of this quotation (from 1 cor i believe?).
as a child and especially a teenager, this quote even above others was most rammed down my throat like bad medicine.
it was the end-all, be-all quote to stop any discussion that might lead to any kind of fun or "normal" childhood activity outside of jw's.

I want to go to a mtg simply to see people, but I know I'll regret it
by Younglove1999 inthis is probably prompted by the fact that i had a dream about someone last night who we used to be pretty good friends with prior to us leaving the org.
also another couple we used to be friends with gave birth to their first child last month and we'd love to see them.
here's the obvious: .

My story: "Pop!" goes the Little Circuit Breaker
by TJ - iAmCleared2Land ini guess it's about time i write my story.
i've put this off for a long time... primarily becuase, while i thought my story was bad, i've read so many worse and heart-rending stories here.
i think, though, there is some therapeutic value in 'letting it all out' with others who know what 'it' was like.

Beauty out of Neglect (Pictures)
by Bumble Bee inon my travels this morning, i drove past an abandonded farm.
i've driven past here before, and stop there every may/june and pick the sweetest smelling lilacs.
something compelled me today to turn around and go back and do some exploring and take pictures.

Have you ever intentionally said crazy things from the platform?
by B_Deserter inlike have you said stuff that is just outright insane like "each and every one of us should be ready and willing to die for the society" purely in the hopes that you'd turn someone off?
i imagine for most of us trying to fade that would be the most difficult thing to do, but some people are really good at shutting down and just going with a flow, too.. .
i ask because it's the only possible explanation i can come up with for some of the really bat-shit insane stuff i've heard come from the podium.

Death is a Terrible thing...
by KW13 inhas it sunk in for you people that your going to die yet?
i'm still avoiding the thought but it lurks in the back of my mind, i'm aware someday i've got to address it - like many here i didnt expect to live this far in this system, so i haven't any plan for life as of yet.. death frightens me.
i cannot sometimes watch a film with death of a character in a tragic way - there one moment with family/friends and a life and then not...i read the story about challenger the rocket that exploded and how the crew onboard that shuttle may well of been aware they were going to die.

by jw standards, should you have been disfellowshipped by now??
?
