A new twist
by ESTEE ini've been disfellowshipped for about ten years yet i rack my brain trying to turn that "shunning" stuff around into something more positive and uplifting.
shunning sounds like --- like --- so final.
it's what we were taught to dread our whole lives.. well, for someone who was raised to be co-dependent with the borg, for me to allow myself to get disfellowshipped and leave because i had some independent thinking going on --- maybe --- just maybe my kids don't talk to me any more because my leaving the jws has left them speechless!.

Remember when . . . ?
by ESTEE ini recall when the quick build kingdom halls and the big assembly hall were being built in saskatoon that the word from the platform was everyone will be flocking in and filling up all those empty seats.
the borg was counting on a huge influx of new people who were just crying for bible studies!
"study with meeee!!!

Are Faders "better" than DF'd or DA'd?
by ESTEE inthis is something i've been mulling over.
just would like to hear opinions as to whether faders, or inactive ones think they are superior to disfellowshipped or disassociated ones?
what is your experience with this?

Demons and God did the same thing *gasp*
by ESTEE ininteresting thing i read in carolynn myss: .
among god stories, the jewish tradition is unique because yahweh is never depicted as being sexual.
when christianity appeared on the scene, however, its then-still-jewish followers gave their god a human body, calling him jesus, the son of god.

Found It!
by ESTEE ini filed away the letter that i received from an elder when my mom was disfellowshipped years ago.
it turned up the other day, reminding me again of the high control, fear based beliefs the dubs have.
i resisted shunning my mom -- and sadly this letter is the reason i finally began shunning her.
