Children of God Cult
by EmptyInside ini was listening to an interview on public radio of chris owens,formerly of the band,girls.. anyway,they touched on briefly how he was raised in the children of god cult.
he mentioned how isolated he felt,and when he left at 16,he accepted the fact that he would lose communication with his mother.
since that is the way of groups like that.

"Imitate Their Faith"
by EmptyInside inso,a family member picked up the new release for me at the convention.
and i am skimming through it,and find it difficult to get into,because it seems written as a children's book.
i guess all their publications are going to be simplified.

Apostate?
by EmptyInside ini was wondering if i would be considered an apostate for posting on this board.
i don't speak against the organization to any witnesses.
i do talk candidly to other inactive ones who feel the same way.

Another Pet Peeve About District Conventions
by EmptyInside inwell,i haven't been to a convention since i started posting here.
but,since my family is attending one soon,i was having flashbacks.. one of the many things that would irritate me would be running into old, so-called friends.
these are ones that while in the same congregation we were close,but then,once they moved,nothing.. and it's usually them just still living five minutes away,but since they go to another hall and can't be bothered now.

Anxiety Attacks At Meetings
by EmptyInside ini believe i posted on this before.
but,i was recently thinking back when i was still regularly going to meetings.
and how sometimes,just the thought of having to start to get ready to go,sent me in a panic.

What's It Like To Be Normal
by EmptyInside inyes,that is a strange question.
but,i always felt like the odd one out.
and as a witness,i felt like i had some secret from all the "worldlies" about the big secrets of the universe.

Brazen Conduct
by EmptyInside intheir new phrase,that i never read in the bible.
it was used in the watchtower study today.
and an elder used marrying an unbeliever as an example of "brazen" conduct.. does this mean they are going to start disfellowshipping those who marry unbelievers?

How Would You Answer...?
by EmptyInside ini'm wondering what to reply to someone who said the main message of the "truth" is the same.
that jehovah is god and he sent his only-begotten son to die for us,so that,we could have everlasting life on earth.. the rest of the changes don't really matter to them.
that witnesses are the only religion to teach this and the only ones preaching it.

No More Conventions! ( For Me)
by EmptyInside ini'm so relieved not having to go to another convention.
i haven't been to one in two,three years,lost track.
so happy not having to sit for all those hours on an uncomfortable chair,listening to boring talks.. i am thrilled not having to clean public toilets in my best clothes.
