We left together and everything is pretty good. My husband had a conversation with someone who said we were the only ones he knew who left and their life improved. I think the people he knew that left were messed up while they were in the org and just remained in that condition when they left.

"You are still married, and still happy ?"
by Phizzy ini met an aging, well, late sixties, pioneer sister a few days back, from a congregation four removes away, and a different circuit to my old congo.
i have known her since i was a kid.. i wasn't quite sure at first if she knew our "status" as we exchanged pleasantries, but it soon became clear she knew exactly our situation, that we walked away a few years ago.. she asked me about my views on life now, and listened respectfully, and said she appreciated my view, but a couple of questions that she threw at me, as in the thread title, showed that she was surprised that mrs phizzy and i had not gone off the rails after we left.. the mind control goes so very deep does it not ?
she was surprised that our marriage hadn't failed, and that we were now happy.. i wonder if she will ever make the connection that the jw org has lied to her about those of us who leave ?.

Surprise ! Surprise ! 2015 Arrives and NO Armageddon or World's " End " - Go Figure
by flipper ini guess 99.9 % of ex-jw's here could have predicted as much .
armageddon didn't happen in 1914. it didn't happen in 1925. it didn't happen in 1975. and it did not happen in 2014. since the wt society first predicted a world's end when their organization started in 1879 - 126 years have passed which according to any dictionary in any human language 126 years comprises of 4 separate generations each totaling 30 years each.
plus 6 years into a 5th generation.

The Abandoned Husband
by compound complex innot of your own accord would you slip away and leave this fragile and wounded man unattended.
i love you deeply, but, i admit, erratically.
my flaws are manifold.

I often read many men lamenting the fact that their wives won't leave the org but sometimes it's the wife that's ready to push the eject button at whatever cost. i wonder what they would do if their wife said I'm finished with them and then still breathing fire insists that they move thousands of miles away from the offending thing. Then she finally settles down when they start a new life in a new city where they don't know anyone.

They said she was a jezebel
who led her husband off to hell
but deep inside he knew the truth
for years he tried to be aloof
but she began to feel the pain
and soon she thought she'd go insane
and then one day they called them in
a friend revealed her spoken sin
he asked her please do not explode
but she began to lock and load
the elders ready for a fight
he knew it wasn't really right
and so their minds were now released
they packed their bags and headed east
(a true story)

Without You
by compound complex ini dreamed, once again, you were at my side talking, laughing, loving.
the sun warmed my face and you my heart as we lived a life forever.. i awoke with a start that left behind the land of our past, viewing my today for the misery and sadness that, truly, it is and ever shall be.. is it better to live in the land of dreams with the one i love or to exist alone and awake, recalling the dark intent that poisoned your heart?.

I thought of a verse from the Judy collins song
Tears and fears and feeling proud to say I love you right out loud
dreams and schemes and circus crowds i've looked at life that way
but now old friends are acting strange they shake their heads they say i've changed
but somethings lost and somethings gained in living everyday
I've looked at life from both sides now from win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall I really don't know life at all.

She sipped another glass of wine
She stole it from another time
When she was younger and naive
With all those dreams she did believe
that she would someday know for sure
The moon was made of green manure
did you see that one coming my brain twisted again

Taking that poem into "the meaning of life" or "truth" whatever that may be is a type of misery and sadness but one that opens the eyes to interesting possibilities. It is true that we may not find the answers to our questions but by being available and curious who knows what may be revealed. A good fantasy is like a sipping a glass of wine on the beach, it has it's value but then we have to move on and stare into the abyss of our universal ignorance of what are we doing here and keep looking because maybe we can learn "something" with the time we have left.
I guess I'm in one of those moods

Want to hear something funny ?
by troubled mind inmy husband just won the city wide holiday light display for christmas i am so proud .
just a few short years ago i was the one that put a strand of white lights around the porch railing ,and a couple of lighted deer in the yard ....that brought the elders around real quick (after three years of silence ) at that time my husband was still holding onto the notion his faith was not bond to a cult .
it didn't take long after the 'loving sheparding call' for him to see things in another light.
