Sad Today

by whyamihere in

jw
friends

it's has been a hard few months for me.

i am just so sad i don't know where to begin.

i feel so lost in this world and i have lost all my friends and i feel so alone.

i too am sorry to hear of all the things you are going throught. hang in there. you have left an occult and are expeiriencing normal sadness (normal sadness or evan depression that comes from isolation that most if not all normal mothers go throught) but it is mixed with greif and pain (from shunning or being made to feel evil or naughty) that the occult is counting on to bring you back in to a so called comfort zone. if you feel it is wrong to go back then completly let go. thats realy the first step.

for so long you have been told that it is wrong to assciate with worldy people and in some ways we create these mental walls around us and make then strong enoungh that evan after we leave we have trouble making new friends and putting these into our lives. please for your own good make new friends who will be there for you when you need them and you can be there when they need you. this is the very foundation of friendship.

do you work or are you a stay at home mom. if not hire a day care and get a job that requires you to meet a lot of people evan if you make just enought to cover the cost of the day care who cares for a while you need interaction with other people. and above all else remember you have friends here as well who all have gone throught something very simular and they know how it feels.

and yes i would recomend a theripist. i dont know your situation ie you hubby a witness and such but perhaps evan some family counciling and i would evev more so very strongly recommend it if he too left the org.

what ever you choose to do and what ever things happen you are always welcomed here and you can always count on us to be ther for you too.

I'm getting mad....

by toladest in

i have been dfed/daed for nearly 7 years now.

long story.

anyway my mom has shunned me ever since.

zealofjehu

d/f polocies are there for one reason and one reason only to bring you back at all cost. the emotions that you feel are what they (the wbs) want you to feel and they will use your mother and children against you. i know i have been there. your mother is shuning you because they told her (not in so many words) it is the only way to get you back. now your children pay the price and the wbs is counting on our human make up to feel huge amounts of guilt. dont let them do this to you or your children tell them the truth about the wbs as best as they can understand and find some counciling or even a family theripist who can help you and your children deal with the abuse the wbs gives out on a dailey basis.

also when your children come to understand what the wbs is all about they will in the end tell your mom to stop her preaching but in the mean time tell your mom that she is not to preach to your children.

i am really sorry that everyone on this web site has had to lose or give up or suffer so much and i hope one day the wbs is brought to justice in the mean time hang in there.

ps after reading this to my self the letters wbs kind of sound funny like a curse word watchtower bull shit there i said it ohh no im in touble see i told ya so

Do you know of any "baptized" JW's that committed suicide or attempted?

by booker-t in

i remember one of my childhood friends was found dead and the police said he committed suicide.

i just could not believe it because my friend was a "devout" jw almost franatical about it.

now years later since i have seen both sides of the coin i am beginning to wonder if my friend did indeed kill himself.

zealofjehu

yes i know of one who had killed himself and only a handful at the hall knew what had really happend. i remember how upset it had made me i was depressed for what must have been a year. this really does back up the reprot i read about how witness are 9 times more likely to have some kind of psycological problems.

Today's Daily Text.... A Direct Attack

by Doubtfully Yours in

out of pure curiosity, not because i read it daily, but i read the daily text today in the spanish little booklet.

i found it to be a direct attack to 'apostates' in the internet.. can someone scan it and print it here in english?!

pretty please!!!.

zealofjehu

i to believe it was a direct attack on apostates if you want to call us that, i for one dont like that term. they wrote the information with intent to put us in a bad light with the sole purpose of keeping jws away.

we however in this board talk to eack other to support each other and continue our fight i do not believe that we come here and talk to our friends in this board simply as a way of attacking the governing body but rather as a way of giving out the information we found.

now outside this board i will be the first to say it

attack away

fire in the hole

(but always with christian love)

Did you exhibit some wierd behaviour ...

by Brummie in

...when exiting the watchtower?

i thought i was going absolutely mad.

told lies and invented other stories and scenerios to hide the fact that i was coping with coming out of a cult.

zealofjehu

well i have not been throught most of theses things yet and i feel a little nervouse because i know that i will probubly in the next year or so as i might have to battle for the kiddies. but one thing i did notice evan after i made my mind up about the org two of my work friends were talking about conditions today and how bad they are and the first thing to pop into my mind was oh i have to tell them about the last days. i am glad that i try very hard to think before i speak because i have told them just a few minutes before all things i found out about the borg. it is nerve racking i think to find these mental device in our minds evan after we learned how full of **** they are

man do i need a spell checker
