Why do I cringe? Why am I still so bitter?
by oompa inmade my own personal statement by skipping the memorial, and then went to the next regular ol sunday meeting with my wife.
i tried hard not to pay attention, but still went nuts when the wt said things clearly not in the bible (which i don't even believe anymore!).
so why does this still bother me?

Previous Memorial dates
by kzjw inmessagedoes anyone know the dates of the past 2 memorials?
i was looking at judaism 101's calendar & nisan 14 is on april 19th.
i asked an elder at the memorial & he told me march 22 was nisan 14. so i was just curious as to how i can stand in a kh, ask an senior elder a question and be lied to.

What "secrets" has my wife hidden since her baptism?
by kzjw ini'm a "believe what you want" kinda guy, so when my wife got involved w/ bible study 16 years ago, i didn't think much of it.
what could be wrong with having bible knowledge?
then came teh teocratic put downs because i didn't believe what she did.

Dealing with an elder
by kzjw inthiis one's long, but here's a letter i sent in open dialog with the elder of my wife's congregation...let's hear the input... i appreciate your candor, and admittedly i can see an effort to not be overbearing in your response to my questions.
my main concern is trusting the organization.
when i read john 14(the whole chapter because i"m never satified with just a verse), i don't see anything that provides for some "organization" to lead us to the salvation that we all seek in our christian walk.

The angst of dealing with family when they are still in and you are not...
by Layla33 ini don't think you ever truly make peace with it, somehow you learn to maneveur and swim in it like most things.
i have been out for so long, it's almost like a shadowy memory when i was in, but for my family it is all they have ever known and dared to know.. i feel for the people whose parents have cut them out completely, but mine never truly did that.
i guess we just loved each other a little too much to even think about losing the other completely.
