I need help finding a 2009 article.
by doublelife ini went to lunch today with my mom and husband.
we started talking about religion.
i'm not going to go into everything we talk about but i told my mom that i found other religions that taught some of the same things the witnesses did and that they also preach like the witnesses.

Something I never thought of when I was in
by doublelife inwitnesses use the term 'publisher' instead of 'preacher' to describe their position in the congregation.
that should be a dead give away that they are salespeople working for a book publishing company verses preachers who are working for god.
i can't believe i never saw something this obvious.

by doublelife ini feel like it's been so long since i posted anything even though it's only been a couple of weeks.
well, thanksgiving dinner went ok with my husband.
he told me before we went that he doesn't think thanksgiving is wrong.. two days ago, i filmed the movie scene i had talked about before.

What are you Thankful for this year?
by lovelylil2 inin the spirit of thanksgiving, thought i ask what everyone is thankful for.. i am thankful for my family's good health and happiness, for the great friends i have, for my job that i absolutely love, for celebrating my 7th year of freedom this month from the wt publishing cult.. anyone else?.

New "apostate" here! Recent WT study- 'We may ask you to do something that may not understand' (basically- DO IT)
by 20+wastedYRS ini will get to the big shocker that i read within the last year or two in a wt study article, so please bear with me... i am new to this forum and have been reading postings for several days now, and can relate totally to many of the issues that many ex-jw have.
i was raised "around" the truth and although my parents were never "dipped", they wouldn't allow us to celebrate holidays or stand for natl anthem (not that i care now).
so i basically had many of the pressures and stress that witness kids had growing up, but with no spiritual support, as we attended only a handful of meetings while my parents studied when i was 5or6.

I'm already starting to feel normal
by doublelife infor the first time today, when my boss asked what i'm going to be doing for thanksgiving, i didn't have to go into this awkward explaination of why i don't celebrate it.
i simply said that i'm going over my aunt's.
it may sound trivial but it feels great!
