I'm longing for the day...
by Newborn in...when my beloved sister will call me and say " hey sis, you were right, i'm also leaving the borg for good!!
now we can make up for all this lost time and enjoy life together as we should".. i just can't give up thinking that this will come true.. i just miss her too much... and i can't imagine how it must feel for those of you who's lost your children.

An interesting talk with my father
by Soldier77 ina little background before my recap of my conversation.
my father left my mom and i when i was young, like before i was 5. so i didn't know him other than a couple images i had of him in my head.
i don't have any bad feelings towards him, even though he cheated on my mom and took 20 years to pay back child-support.

You are so right S77 it is so frustrating when our families cannot see the mind control, like you it makes me so angry and frustrated, when some of us are seeing it so clearly, and they are not. We just have to patient and hope they do. It does sound like your father is starting to wake up.
I have had a few instances the last few months with family that have hit home the cruelty and hurt of the mind control, I have been so upset and shaken. So it is so comforting to share how we feel with each other and that we are not alone. Sometimes just when I think I am getting on with my life something happens to remind me of the control of the Org. over our family.
it's great we can all have a good vent. I wish you and your dad all the best. Good luck

I am so so sorry to hear your beautiful daughter Ali is so poorly, I am praying for you all and for Ali to have a full recovery, how awful that she has had to go through this, but she is blessed to have a lovely mum who will sacrifice and give her the love and care she needs.
Sending you all love and best wishes RosePetal

I'm going to the Cleveland Clinic
by jamiebowers into stay with my husband while he has a defibulator installed in his heart.
he was just transferred there this afternoon, and my stepson will be driving me up there tomorrow.
it must be a nice hospital, because they have valet parking, a consierge, and a sofa bed and big screen tv in his room.

Nobody forced us to believe. We CHOSE to follow their crap advice.
by hamsterbait inhave you noticed that the recent trolls are now claiming that if anybody drew conclusions or made decisions based on what the society was printing, it was their own fault?.
kind of "we didn't force you to believe what we said or adjust your life because of it.
you chose to think we were teaching the end would come in <insert time range>".

No one asked me to believe in God or put faith in him that was my choice, but I didn't ask for my faith and conscience to be hijacked and continually blackmailed with any decision I would make, for ex. the watchtower has often stated over the years concerning college or higher education. " Of course a person can go into higher education but a MATURE CHRISTIAN [Black mail] would put kingdom interests first".
What mindset brainwashed witnessed would want to be seen as an "immature Christian". It's not your arm being twisted but your mind. Your conscience is being black mailed.

Have been away a while
by robinhoodxldr inrobinhoodxldr noticed its been 8 years since i first posted and only 6 posts.
i'll be 53 next year and along with my slightly younger wife lady marion we have both been busy making a living trying to save up for our retirement in this down economy.
sometimes i find myself wishing we had all the money we spent on dress clothes and gas money attending meetings over all the years.

Hello!
by factfinder ini'm new here, this is my first post.
have been reading so many comments from you guys over the past few months and now i can finally comment too!.
it is amazing how long it took me to see that jw's are not god's organization and that their teachings do not really find support in the bible.. now i'm not really sure what i believe.

Welcome factfinder how lovely to have you on board, you sound a real sweetie, I am very busy with work etc. but I read as much as I can and try to keep up and post where I can, so I do still miss a lot of posts only just seen you intro.
Sounds like youv'e been neglected and ignored over the years as many of us on here were, but you do matter to us there are some very kind people on here always ready to support and help. We have all had to start a new life and make new friends which takes time and effort, I was a born in, I was baptised over thirty years ago.
