You have to be strong
by troubled mind in
1. jw
2. friends
standing up for yourself,and deciding to follow your own path takes strength .

you have to be strong especially if you were raised in a way of life that dictated so much of who you were .

while being raised as a jehovah's witness i was taught to follow ,unquestionally follow .i was told to put others before myself ,serve,don't stand out ,don't be independent .

Beautifully written TM .... words of experience &

wisdom. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Sometimes on here I feel invisable, my words

unseen.

I think maybe the font that pours out on the

screen is so very tiny, so miniscule that no one sees it,

no one reads.

Am I just writing for myself ......yes, in some ways!

Yes because "we teach what we need to know" ........!

Our words help us to solidify how we really feel.

We can air our thoughts out in public like laundry

hanging in the wind .....

*

So just to add to your comment "If you are new on here

give it some time" ......

Your most memorable Kingdom Hall meeting disruptions!
by easyreader1970 in

2. friends
i remember about twenty years ago some teenagers were caught fornicating in one of the additional schools.

the schools were downstairs, essentially separated from the rest of the kh.

they weren't just happened upon, though.

on a Sunday morning. Thanks!

Well, guess I've missed the Public Talk & will

miss the Watchtower Study too.....haha just

like I always do now!

i have a list of books on my wishlist at amazon, some about critical thinking, some about knitting, some about yurok indian basketry.

i wouldn't mind getting any of those.

What do I want?

I would like the watchtower organization

to be exposed so thoroughly that they

slink away in shame!

Wow amazing picture! Wonder what all those

oldtimers would think if they knew there would

be dancing in the kh, and blue JW.ORG buttons

and big JW.ORG signs on watchtower buildings!

eight year old getting baptized!

(from a jw site.

this 8 year old sister was the youngest of the 31 who were baptized at a regional convention in bogo city, cebu, philippines on the weekend.

Disaster for this poor 8 yr old! Thanks for

posting this .... good to have proof of what

they are doing. One the things I was told

when I was suckered into this cult, was that

they did not baptize children!!!! Liars!

Amazing that out of approx 28 posters on

this thread ....

there are 6 newbies who have joined us!

Any chance you were baptized as a child too?

Huge welcome to all of you.....

Jehovah's Witnesses are a Hate group

Watchtower is relentless in it's hate activity!

10, 20, 30, 40 years after a jdub has left the

borg .....they are still hated!

This watchtower printing & realestate investment co,

has instigated hate & programed my grandaughter & her

mother, to just 'toss me away' ...without a backward

glance! Individually they may be decent people but

as a Group ...they are Haters!

daughter is 3 now, that's a little less than i've been on this forum.

you can find my life story in earlier posts.

enough to say that i have a generous amount of visitation with her.. i picked her up and was talking about the lights some of her neighbors had.
clarity

Just keep going along putting up lites etc

don't say much ...just let her be attracted.

Leave new toys and clothes & dollies around,

let her explore. Good luck!
