  i am having a very difficult time and i am here right now because i know in my heart, that when i explain what has just happened to me a few minutes ago, you will understand.

  many of you are no doubt going through the same thing.. within several posts here, i have spoken of my mother.

  my dear sweet mother, who just turned 78, and who has been a faithful jw since 1959. she abandoned me in 1981, when i decided to leave the borg, and for twelve years she did not speak to me, write to me, call me, or visit me.

  ((((((((((((((((((((Sentinel))))))))))))))))))))))))) I'm so sorry you have to go through this. Wish I could say the magic words and make it all go away. It's so wrong what this religion does to families. My heart goes out to you. Hang in there sweetie.

  LMAO at Quotes! That's exactly the feeling!

  I secretly loathed it! Always felt like I was invading people's privacy and felt so bad for waking up them up on Saturday morning or for bothering them while they are busy preparing for christmas dinner, LOL. It did feel really good when it was over, though!

  Glad to know I was not alone.

  I dated someone that was not baptized but had been raised in the religion. He sucked me in and then left me... I stayed sucked in for 6 years before I woke up and realized it was a fraud. Damn ex-boyfriend!

  the overbeer is finishing up his last can of spiritual food for the night and has had some time to contemplate the past weekend's insanity before going off to a bit of somnambulation.

  first, please excuse my behavior yesterday, as it was a bit harsh and not what i want to be.

  now then.... moe, i apologize for getting on your case.
