Dear watchtower bible and tract society, governing body, and all of your twisted teachings...
by OneDayillBeFree inafter today's watchtower study which was basically a mind controlling article about shunning your loved disfellowshipped ones, i've come to see just how sick, twisted, vile, rotten, repulsive, disgusting, and just plain evil you all are.
so i stormed out.
i don't know if i'll ever come back to your meetings again.

I used to think they couldn't get any worse. They prove me wrong time and time again. Well done for storming out.

This forum has a mix of people on it. Many are still JWs but have found out that the society isn't all it appears to be. Many here have lost families who are still trapped in the organisation. This sort of pain cannot possibly be associated with a loving God. They are part of Babylon the Great and you really should take some time to investigate the truth about them. You are young and could have a wonderful fulfilling life and a relationship with Almighty God Jah, without the WTBS. Please think about doing some research? I wish you well.

I can identify with you too. As a child I went through some years of awful loneliness. I suppose it always haunts you once you've experienced it in a severe way. Following my disfellowshipping I found it very hard, after years of being surrounded by family and friends. And I too had to handle cancer alone, except for a couple of new acquaintances. I hung on to my spiritual relationship with my God, and that really helped me to cope.
Nowadays I'm in a loving family with good friends and am busy with my career, it rarely affects me currently, but occasionally, even in a crowd that feeling will strike. I found voluntary work helped me a lot, so I'd recommend that too. We're all human and inclined to be sociable and within families, so loneliness is nothing to be ashamed of. It can be one of the hardest things in life I think. In the UK there's a new helpline for the elderly struggling with isolation called SilverLine, I think it's greatly needed, and will help many.
Good thread.

Hello and welcom MoS. That was a lovely introductory post. I'm glad you're out and finding a new life. Yes there are losses, for some more than others, but freedom and unconditional love and friendship are wonderful compensations.

i have been lurking here for about a month or two.
it is really awesome to read so many similar experiences.. for example, when i was still 'in' i wondered if i was the only one in the hall that really hated the meetings.

Excellent article SD7, needless to say it applies to both sexes. Can't quite believe I survived years of this. Towards the end I worked out that he couldn't get past 3 days without conflict and drama.

by compound complex indear friends:.
forty-five years ago i was out in service with an elder, and we came upon a house where the owners kindly received us.

Being called a close friend of CoCo is a fine recommendation. You are in my prayers, Mike.

Another Cardinal Falls
by designs inthe top cardinal of britian has resigned, cardinal keith o'brien, the archbishop of edinburgh, has given notice amid accusations by three priests that he made 'inappropriate contact' with them.
he will not be able to vote in the upcoming selection of the new pope.
the current pope has accepted his resignation.. like cardinal mahoney of the los angeles archdiocese, cardinal o'brien will be allowed to 'retire' receiving a nice pension and home paid for by hard working catholics.

I want him to know I have always loved him as a friend and admired him as a person of integrity.
I think I'd just tell him this Terry, and see where it leads.....
