  Good lord... utterly inane. Is this Caleb's new friend? 

  Singing trolley carts. They have wheels, they have racks, they have books, they have tracts -- ( but no Bibles of course! )

  Are they really serious with this ? 

  My gawd.... I have no words...

  Haha, this is great! One phrase we can add now that will surely bring a fast Bingo would be "GOVERNING BODY" !!!

  New Avatar - Korah

  by cappytan in

  i decided to update my avatar.. since the society says that disagreeing or speaking against the governing body is like korah challenging moses, i decided korah would be a fitting avatar!.

  what do you think?.

  by the way, if you didn't realize this was korah or don't know where this came from, it's from one of the new "comic book" bible stories..

  Haha, this is great.  And you can just tell by the lines ingrained in his face that Korah must have felt like this for a long time..... Bwhahahaha! Yes, the spirit is really moving me ....

  Rebel8, I love what you said.... Your post (page 2 on this thread) about acceptance & moving on vs. forgiveness really struck a chord with me.  Thank you,  those were beautiful and insightful, healing words without the nauseating religious aspect!

  Julia, I agree with the people who advised you to not make any immediate decision about DA stuff right now. You are in too much turmoil and pain -- it really hurts too to lose our little pet(s) -- and the lack of their quiet, sweet presence leaves such an empty space...

  Don't fill the places of your pain with decisions that could impact your life with more confusion or sorrow. You said maybe you still care what those bastards think... But those bastards were people we loved too... So the mind-fook is hard because we also know how JWs are trained to think -- it is such double-talk/double-think. 

  Be gentle with yourself right now, and it is not a sin to tell people that. Walk gently. Especially when you in pain. When you need to walk strong, you will know. You are healing, and yes, a counsellor who knows about abuse or controlling situations, PTSD, etc, could be of enormous benefit.  

  I feel your non-JW mom means well, but she does not totally understand the whole interplay of .... all that ... mind-sifting JW stuff.

  Some of the stuff they're doing while dancing is downright dangerous & inept.
