i'm good at the pity party, can have fantastic events of this because i'm the guy that has to remind himself everything is getting better.. i was in a good one for a few weeks lately, but then i realized i don't have much to be sad about.

compare to where i was 6 years ago, my life is far better than i ever could have imagined.

tomorrow morning i'll be getting on a flight to go work for mtv.

Why Would Someone Like me Leave the "Truth"? Part 2
by cantleave in
1. jw
2. friends
as stated in part 1 the latter part of the 1980s and 1990s were very good for my wife and i. we are doing well spiritually and both had good jobs.

our increasing income allowed us to move at a relatively young age to a nice area.

we wanted to stay in our old congregation but i was told as an appointed man i should support the congregation in my new territory.. this new congregation had a completely different feel about it to our old one.

missing the meeting was my fault, mostly.

i took her out to her favorite restaurant (a good strategy on meeting night for those with jw mates).

oh my, look at the time!

i was watching this last night and the rant by the young kid whose mother is a religious zealot made me think of how fundamentalists like to compartmentalize everything so they can ignore the facts and reality.

jam: hey what's up mom?

i'm gonna ask you this nicely first.

she said there were about 8 people getting in 2 cars.

King David's Saga Continues
by KingDavidwasframed in
1. social
2. family
for the record, my real name is not david.

i just have been fascinated on how close my journey has matched his (critisized by my wife, elders trying to assasinate me spiritually, horny as anything) and have always respected the way king david handled himself and was still loved by jehovah despite imperfection.. now i find that my son whom i have raised since 2 (now 15) is either disrespecting me or purposely listening to the lies about me from his mother and those in the congregation and hurting me either directly and indirectly.

and now find myself trying to figure out how to handle the situation.. his mother tells him that i am not his "real father" (despite adopting him, giving him my name and raising him for 11+ years) and that he has to honor jehovah by going out in service saturdays and meetings on sundays instead of visitation with me (with his sisters, my blood) as "jehovah's service is more important than association with an unbeliever".
