  Need to Get Away - Roadtrip Suggestions

  so it's really happened... all of my friends have been shunning me for a few months now and while it has saddened me deeply, i've been able to endure it.

  but just this weekend my own mother told me that she messed up with me and that i am going to die because i am speaking against the organization... that's a tough pill to swallow.. i was naive like many others in the beginning.

  i thought if i came out the right way, for moral and conscientious reasons, that maybe.... just maybe they would respect my decision.

  SOME ENCOURAGEMENT FOR THE NEWBIES AND LURKERS

  a quote from "crisis of conscience".

  don't be afraid to read it.. .

  whatever the initial distress - a distress that sometimes follows the demenaing experience of being interogated by men who, in effect strip one of dignity, make the weight of their authority felt, and presume to judge adversely one's standing with god - however torn one may feel inside, afterward there is a distinct feeling of relief, of peace.

  Is It Wrong To Pretend??

  at the current time, my wife and i are just trying to fade away in order to keep family ties on my side.

  last night my wife said that she feels bad about being affiliated with the witnesses at all.

  i too feel bad about it.... i don't want to be responsible for misleading people.. i told her that in order to keep communication between myself and my family open, i can justify going to meetings.

  i just wanted to introduce myself.

  my name is chris and i'm on my way out of the only "society" i've known.. i was raised a witness and have been a ministerial servant for a while now.

  i recently notified the elder body that i will be stepping down and it will soon be official.
