what makes me. A liitle reflection from today
by Aussie Oz inthis has not been a happy day, a stress free day for me as i am sure some of you know.. but it has given me pause to dig inside to see why i fight to be heard.
why i seemed to have played a part in such a mess with a moderator and other members.. going back a number of years in to the wt, one large event occured where i was not able to make my self understood by my accusers.
no matter how hard i tried to get my veiw accross, the harder it became to be understood.

Using Christianity as a badge...
by garyneal infirst a little backdrop.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnbxlknavwo.
now, my wife says that people who exit the witness religion should just walk away and speak not of them anymore.
also in the case of myself, i should just leave it alone and let her do her thing.

I am out of here
by Aussie Oz inthis place has become far to jw ish for my liking.. free expression and rights to make reply are shut down by those who hold the key.. this forum is turning into an uber christian outreach program with those who take umbridge to them getting locked and deleted threads.
it would perhaps not be so bad if the moderators actually communicated to people such as myself rather than cold cutting.
they complain when we make a public outcry and tell us it belongs in a private message, yet cannot see 'the straw in their own eye' and do not use the private messages to communicate why they have done what they do.

you have become the thing you hated.
by TheJigsUp ini was reading a thread on here the other day, and it occured to me.
the very thing i have claimed in the title.. reading you all bickering over a certain subject.
i assumed that some of you are only here to genuinely to create arguments, and i saw that some are genuinely lost and some of you dont believe they are lost but they are.. i saw you judging your fellow posters as if you knew something, but truth be told none of us do.

Two elders are coming to visit at my invitation.
by Wasanelder Once inthe elders have been spreading lies about me to jw friends and they are panicked.
they don't know what to make of it.
i've never given them reason to doubt my faithfulness or to make them think i talk against the organization.

State your "epiphany moment " for leaving the WT
by caliber ini have found some powerful reinforcements when people have stated their " epiphany moment "... please share some.. my turning pointing began when i was badly hurt by a person i had always viewed as a literal brother.
i realized that if his.
love was conditional.... if it was the case with him , then how about those i had less affection for and trust in ?.
