I turn my back on it all
by CruithneLaLuna infriends,.
in perusing the postings here in the "friends" section, i notice how many of us are still hashing over and rehashing the evils of the organization we were a part of, and how it hurt us, etc.
i got kinda down reading it.

we all know that they say a lot of stupid things, but what really topped the cake?.

little depressed...
by jwbot ini need to vent, and what better place to vent?.
i can not get over the fact that my well-adjusted life, where i am happy, and to me, doing the right things, will always be seen as immoral by my family members and former friends.
the recent email exchange (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/56683/1.ashx <---yay drama) between myself and an ex best friend just makes these feelings come rushing back.

I got some email from my ex best friend, a JW!
by jwbot inhere is some email correspondence between myself (in blue) and my ex best friend (in maroon).
in terms of the religion, i am a very feminist person, and i pretty much decided that feminism and that religion does not mix (for obvious reasons).
thats where the people you know leave you because you are not like them anymore.

what a hard belief to grow up with
by jwbot in"there is no such thing as unconditional love and friendship.".
this was said to me by an ex best friend of mine who is still in the religion when i mentioned that the friendship he had with me was conditional because he had shunned me when i didn't do things that he felt was the right path.. i feel this is a pretty sad belief to have...to actually feel that your friends and family only love you under certain conditions?
is this a healthy idea of love to have?
