What a weekend and today there's cheese-cake. Happy Days
by LouBelle inwell i thought i was going to have a very subdued birthday as i didn't plan anything.
i was tired of always being the one running around on my birthday so this weekend nudda.
my friends took me out to a little greek restaurant for dinner - there were 2 other birthdays being celebrated, everyone was buying each other drinks and feeding the birthday people shots of uzzo, metzipah (or something like that) apricots soaked in something very close to satans water!!!

You can never be sure that a person won't go back to the religion if they have been raised in it. I was raised in it, was fading away, met a worldly boyfriend when I was 18, got disfellowshiped because we were living in sin. I eventually married that man and he was very helpful in helping me deal with the emotional upheavel of leaving the cult. We had 2 children and then what do I do, I decided to go back. He was in shock. He threatened to take the kids away from me but I didn't back down. We managed to work it out but often its not the case. I stayed in for 7 years and my marriage was not good while I was in. In my opinion I don't think dating a exJW is a safe or wise choice.

I have never heard of this David Blaine guy and that was amazing. Obviously the woman he picked was in on the trick.
That was very realistic to say the least, You think the people would be calling 911

I dont know what to do
by Ex-smoker inok so i was raised in the truth and a lot of jw belifes are indoctrinated in me(big suprize) the main ones being that the dead are conscies of nothing and that jesus is gods son and not god.
i never got baptized and at 17 i started to doubt all orginized religion but in the back of my mind saying that if theres no hell why serve god.
at 21 my life was a mess i was addicted to drugs and thought that it was satans system that was doing this to me and i should give the truth a chance again so i moved back home.

Welcome Exsmoker
You have come to the right place to help sort out your thoughts. So Many here have been through exactly what you are going through.
its obvious you are torn and want your families love and support but that comes with a price.
I got baptized at 15 just because my Dad and Mom guilted me into it. I didn't want to do it and I even had plans then of leaving as I hated the whole religion thing.
If I hadn't gotten baptized then I wouldn't have been disfellowshipped at 18 when I decided I wanted to leave and I would not have been shunned.
Like most of the others have said, DON'T GET BAPTIZED. We speak from experience.
Keep in touch Please.
HELP from other posters needed. For some reason there is a problem here with writing posts. It goes in a long sentence and doesn't stop and go to the next line.
Anyone else having this problem. I have to keep skipping to the next line and it leaves a space.

I have no photos and I am dating myself but I partied with Roger Miller privately and also was dating a guy in Stan Kentons band and was hanging out with the guys in the band and Stan at house parties. I also met many singers/musicians as I used to work as a cocktail waitress at a club that had shows with famous artists every week in Toronto in my very Younger years.
I met Barry Manilow in a restaurant in Palm Springs, California about 4 years ago. No photos ;-(
I would love to meet William Macy, he is a great actor and seems like a really nice man.

Patchy memories
by Princess Daisy Boo ini often think back to my childhood and discover that my memories are very patchy.
names, faces, school teachers, things related to being a brought up as a dub.
memories of some years are patchier than others - for example when i was about 10, we moved from the city that we had always lived to a small town, 2 hours drive away - we moved back to the city 3 years later - i remember very little of the first two years in that small town.. i seem to think that the years where the memories are patchy were times when i was quite unhappy.

Hi Princess
I have patchy memories too, but I think thats because it was all sooooooooooooooo long ago. I do remember the BAD or negative things, the kids teasing and ridiculing me, the times when my Dad beat me with a belt or shouted at me because I didn't study the Watchtower. Mostly there was nothing fun to remember.
Yes I agree with the comment about we had no celebrations such as Christmas and Birthdays, Halloween to help us remember things. It was just such a sad childhood for me and it sounds like it was for you too.
I am still very angry about how my childhood was ruined because of a Religion that tells Lies.

Long last letter to dad...please comment-not mailed yet
by dawg indad, .
i doubt youll even read this letter since it comes from your son, a son youve abandoned over your religious views, but i wanted to write you one final letter to see if theres any hope that you can come to your senses as far as this religion goes and we can renew our relationship.
im doing this because i care for you and mom deeply and feel very much distressed that you two refuse to see anyones opinion as being factual other than your own when it concerns the jw religion.

What a heartfelt letter. It brought tears to my eyes. You obviously spoke from the heart and you presented it without hate. I just hope he reads it and opens his heart to you and to the truth.
