Don't know why I just am. Woke up next to my wonderful wife after getting up she make me a great breakfast and for dinner tonight grilled steak and a brithday cake she made. So why am I depressed? Could it be my children will not call me today to wish me a happy brithday. It's not their fault they never got a happy brithday or brithday cake. When growing up my parents never gave me a happy brithday or brithday cake. I will not have any friends call me today and wish me a happy brithday. Why because brithdays are evil to all of them. Just my beautiful wife and me. I should feel happy today but normal life is going to be really hard to come by for quite a while. It's days like this that really hit's hard on how this damm cult ruin our lives in so many ways. At 57 I am starting life over. Don't feel sorry for me I know what I have to do. And that's keep moving forward. Tomorrow is another day. I know I will be up to the task. Thanks for letting me cry in my beer. Totally ADD

What a drag it is getting old
by prophecor in!.........the days of youth are wasted on the youth, i've heard it said.
the days of our lives, as the scriptures so eloquently put it are 70 years.
i look at the youth of today in their teens to maybe thirty or so, and i have to say to myself, "boy, i wouldn't wish my 20's and 30's on anybody.

Hello prophecor. As a person in his 50's I agree to a point. The only thing I don't like is now I have all this experience in my job skills and age has slowed me down in doing them. Many of night I hurt from head to toe. But I love what I do. I hated it when I was young now I love what I do. My father use to tell me by the time you reach your 50's you have all this knowledge but you are to old to do anything with. I don't agree with all of that statement but some of it is true. My wife as will as ABible Student said it right "it beats the alternative which is death". By the way the reason I sometimes hurt is because I remodel houses from bare bones to finish. Totally ADD

Buried my father today
by littlerockguy ini mostly post fluff and music posts on this thread more often now but just thought i would let some people here who still know me about what has been goin on with me recently.
my dad about a 7 month battle with lung cancer which metastasized to the bones and he died early wed morning.
my dad was a fascinating man, complex, sometimes open and sometimes a very aloof and detached person.

I just finished watching part 2 of Faith in Action DVD....I'm in complete shock!
by Joliette inthat was the biggest piece of propaganda garbage that i ever seen in my life !!!!!!!
in literally all 28 years of my life!!!!!!!.
i dont want to spoil it for anyone, so i wont mention what they didnt mention...but basically, they made themselves look like victims.. but of course, they did mention persecution, the new world translation of the holy scriptures(because jehovah's name had cruelly been taking out of the bible by the corrupt religious leaders), and the biblically based arrangement of the governing body.. i'm in utter shock .

I remember when I was a kid at the book study the WT would say how the govt. of the past would distort their history to make them look good. The WT is just doing what they said others have always done. As I was told as a kid if you lie enough you will begin to believe the lie. Totally ADD

Astounded Newbie Here...*Waves Hello*
by mummatron inall i can say is "wow!
" in the 10 years i've been out i had no idea that forums like this existed.
a tad naive-sounding for someone with a background in it, i know, but it's taken me this long just to feel comfortable enough to type 'jw' into google.

Newbie here
by aristeas insome forums/boards have a greetings section for newbies, but i couldn't find one here, so i guess i should post here.. i was an active witness in the 70s and 80s but decided i couldn't conscientiously continue participating so i just dropped out.
unlke many others, i don't have witness family.
thus it was easy to just move & drop out.

Soon they will be teaching the image was a man which means he has one penis which mean the human race will have one world gov't. Right now it is in a relax state but soon it will rise and stick it to the whole world of mankind. This makes about as much sense as to what they talk about. I could go on with this but I don't want to be ban forever. LOL Totally ADD

"I never thought I would come that close to my retirement in this old system of things"
by Hoffnung insome time ago i was at a family gathering.
my father and uncles are all long-time elders in their congregations.
when they were discussing they all were 50+ now, one of my uncles said: "i never thought i would come that close to my retirement in this old system of things".

I was told as a teenager in the 60's not to worry about an education the big A was coming. When we had kids in the 70's and early 80's we were told not to worry they will never go to school let alone finish school. Now with grand children I hear some say they will never finish school. Bull ----! My wife and I are in our late 50's starting a new life from the cult and career. We have some savings for retirement but the so called great recession hurt us alot. In many ways we are starting over. Also Welcome Busterrb to the board. My wife and I have a very similar experience you had with a dear friend we took cared of for many years. One of these days my wife will tell the story to all of you. Yes the love was overwhelming. Not. Totally ADD
