And think in the long-term, too. Anger is OK, just don't get carried away and avoid doing something you could regret later.
The good thing, SPAZNik, is that you're free. You can feel the anger because you're no longer where you used to be. That matters as well.
you may not remember, but i know you very well.
i met you a long time ago when you came to my house with your smiling faces, your neat clothes, and your soft voices, and a bible tucked neatly under your arm.
you told me many beautiful stories of a "paradise earth," and a "righteous new system" which would be established shortly.
The sad thing is that the daughter shouldn't need a stroke to feel like there is a justification to be with her mom.

Cinda Miller, I feel your pain. I honestly wish the day will come when Gaila will have her daugher by her side. I'm honestly sorry I can't do more than that.
here is a strange premise.
god speaks through you, but, you make errors.
when your errors are pointed out it means you have been blessed!.
Well, the recent change in the meaning of "generation" is not a minor one. I don't expect them to recognize so, however.
carefully chosen words.
deserve to be considered .

most of you know that my husband (iron hill) and i have been trying to do the fade from the witnesses....here's the update!
my husband's ex wife who is disfellowshipped decides all of a sudden that she wants to get reinstated - i guess cuz we decided not to go anymore - and the guilt of their daughters dying in armageddon is killing her.
but anyway, she asked us if we would be ok with her coming and taking the girls to the meetings on the weekends that are ours.....my husband denied.
LoriJis, you wrote:
Though I'm not a witness, I've been here long enough to know what you're going through. It is very clear they are not fair.
Personally, what I found revealing were these words you wrote.
love to Jehovah is above everything. But what about your son? Isnt he worth more?
The sad thing is that inside the WTS love for your dearly beloved ones does not come first. Not at all. Many people have found that, deep down, you should not blame your family for doing what they are doing. They are trapped in a set of rules that makes them behave this way and does not let them put love above all else. Let's hope they someday see the light. Your leaving opens a way out for others.
Wish you the best.
mine was filled with shock and anger but mostly anger.
it made me feel that way because i have never been lied to like that growing up in the religion with it being all you know.
