Life in Flux, Self-Reflection, and the Bible

it has been at least 2 years since i posted, and for the most part, i believe, i left this site on a happy note.

i had moved on from the drama and confusion that transitioning out of being a jw and into the world meant.

i was building a happy life with my children.

The Confederate Flag
by Simon in
1. social
2. current
the latest controversy over the confederate flag just sums up to me the state of dysfunction that exists in american society.. in summary: a white supremacist nutter shoots 9 black people dead in a church.

he's clearly inspired by the messages of others which the confederate flag is often a symbol of.. it seems like a no-brainer to remove it.

not only isn't it removed, it isn't even lowered at all as a mark of respect.. and of course now there are the people who want to defend their right to have it.

The Reason Why Jehovah's Witnesses Will Never Prosper Is The Children
by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
i believe that the religion will remain stagnant due to their achilles heel, the kids, the children, that next generation.. most of them really don't wa t to be in the religion.

the parents may have tried everything within their power to make the kids love jehovah but we all know you can't force someone to love you and you can't make a grown person stay in a relationship or situation if they really don't want to be there..

Thoughts on My Exit
by losingit in
1. jw
2. friends
it has been some time since i last posted or even visited the site, and i wondered why that was.

life continued to be difficult without a network of friends to look forward to seeing.

the novelty of being disfellowshipped wore off, and the mundane advanced as it did every day.

Without You
by compound complex in
1. jw
2. friends
i dreamed, once again, you were at my side talking, laughing, loving.

the sun warmed my face and you my heart as we lived a life forever.. i awoke with a start that left behind the land of our past, viewing my today for the misery and sadness that, truly, it is and ever shall be.. is it better to live in the land of dreams with the one i love or to exist alone and awake, recalling the dark intent that poisoned your heart?.

"the bible says of deborah: "now deborah, a prophetess, the wife of lappidoth, was judging israel at that time.
