onacruise - Craig Mills 1952-2011
by Lady Lee ini was given the link to a bit of information regarding on old poster/moderator of this forum.
i was not sure of the validity of the information so have been trying to find out if it is true.. earlier today craig's estranged wife, kate, (bikerchic) confirmed that craig died at his home on aug 10, 2011.. i am sure that many people here remember craig's time here and how he went out of his way to offer support to posters, even calling them, to give whatever help he could as they adjusted to their post-jw lives.. i know many people here will grieve his loss.. --------------.
ps i tried posting this earlier but the computer i was working with would not allow the posts.

LOL@flipper (fartknocker) don't know about anyone else, but, i LIVED thru that whole '75 debacle......i also remember about a year or two later at a district convention the bethel speaker delivering a talk that blamed the rank and file for blowing it all out of proportion.........i was around twenty, but, i remember sitting there and my jaw dropping as I listened.........then, becoming very very angry and indignant for the outright lie. bastards.

i just had to jump in here and make a comment because of a statement that EP posted:
How is it that Spiderman has a a better moral code than god? His is "with great power comes great responsibility". God's seems to be "don't do bad things because I don't do bad things, except whenever the fuck I want and it's OK because I am stronger."
i left the org. back in 1998/99. one of the reasons being that i had serious doubts as to "his" moral code, based on what i had learned from the Bible over 25 years. my reasoning was much like EP's. if a created thing/being has more love, compassion, etc. than god, then, i am definitely not impressed. of course, i don't feel that the Bible is "God's Word" anymore, either. however, if others want to believe it, then, that is their business, as long as they don't try to make ME accept it as truth. live and let live.

Blondie, as usual, you have done an impeccable job of detective work for those who have been able to break free from the control of the WTS. Personally, as time has passed, my ability to be a critical thinker has grown. Since I was so young (14) when I first became involved through my mom in the JW cult, and grew up in a very small, isolated community, it is a no brainer that I was so easily influenced. And, even though I knew even at 14 that the jw's were full of s**t, because of the personal circumstances in my family, I had no outside support system, and so, had to go along with my mom's wishes. But, the dissonance remained in my psyche, and when the time came for me to break free, I did. That is why it is so important that we continue to share in our own personal ways, our stories and our knowledge, and help others to break free.

What Got YOU Out Of The Organization?
by minimus inhow did you come to the final decision to get out of her (the organization, "mother")?
?.

Sunnygal41
well, it was a long, slow process which included many years of serious doubt and unhappiness with the organization, but, the rapid decline really began back in '95 with the change in the generation.........it was just too much to swallow........then, a series of events with members of the congregation and in my personal life happened in quick succession and when I finally got called to the jc it was a relief to walk in and tell them I no longer wanted to be a jw. technically, they df'd me that night, i think it was some time in late '98 or early '99, but, my heart hadn't been a jw for quite some time. when i walked out of the kh after the jc, i felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off me and i was filled with joy and the possibilities of a new life ahead. i have never regretted leaving and will never return. they have nothing i am interested in, even though my sister and her family are still all in. i know that family isn't necessarily those you are born with and grow up with, and have met and made friends who are closer to me than my fleshly family.
