The 2008 Grand Boasting Session Ahead
by WTWizard inwell, the time is almost here--already.
the first of the 2008 grand boasting sessions is almost upon us, and i expect to begin seeing threads about the programs in the coming weeks.
notably, this means some children will be missing the last weeks of school (the program starts on friday), or at least one day of it, to attend.. i will be looking for any new rules and instructions that have not yet happened.

Finding Faith
by Ima Apostate inhow many of you ex-jw kids were able to believe in mainstream christianity after leaving the borg?
within the last year, i have opened up to getting to know god again.
what's funny is that when i prayed for truth and to know god, i knew and had a real feeling in my heart that i was getting closer to something real, but there was still a voice going, "hey, it's me jehovah, and you have rejected me!".

I went to a political rally tonight
by B_Deserter init was the obama rally where john edwards announced his endorsement for obama.
i couldn't help but think about how the witnesses always brag about how orderly and clean they are when they get together, not like those heathens in the world.
yet, everyone was respectful and cooperative.

watchtowers at my threrapist's office
by loosie inwhen i go to my threrapist's office, while waiting in the waiting room, i look for wts and awakes.
when i find them i write on them a website either this one or silent lambs or i just write "this group is a cult" across the front of it.. one visit i found like 12 wts.
i didn't have time to scribble a note on all of them before my therapist called me in.. well this week.

When witness familly members are difficult or abusive...feel free to vent
by milligal ini wanted to open this thread for discussion after reading some other posts which sound very similar to my own situation.
i wondered if anyone would like to share suggestions, vent and get it off their chest or respond to my own issue.. in my case, my parents are jw and are relatively easy to deal with outside of the fact that they seek me out and ultimately want to save my soul (an uneven relationship).
however my husbands parents-his mother in particular, is a pill!

Does anyone have parents who have left the BORG after you did?
by Alexia inim thinking about my mother today.
shes been in the truth for over 30 years now baptized in her mid 20s.
she had been faithful the whole time despite being married to a severe alcoholic (my father only studied) for 27 years.

The problems with my JW family
by Ima Apostate inthis may be a rare thing on this board, don't know, because this is my first post, but i was raised jw and officially 'checked out', in my own mind, at 14 or so, because it just didn't make sense that god would destroy so many good people who are wholeheartedly trying their best to please him and worship him in truth.
i actually did not pray or give god a passing thought for 12 years or so because the god i had been raised to know was no one i wanted to worship.
but here in the past year something brought me around to him.
