JWdom "limbo"
by Gayle ini realize how many people are sent to "limbo" of sorts by the wts.
how many jws quit going, inactive, no meetings for "years," wasn't happy with it but are still "stuck" somewhere in between, not active jws, feeling condemned by the organization yet still don't stretch themselves to "read" anything to investigate why the organization didn't work for them.
my brother got a call from an inactive jw, who hasn't gone in years & not in the association of anyone anyway, not happy with jwdom.

Your world view as a JW and what it is now
by Axeman ini have a friend that has left the witnesses but the mindset is still in his head.
it affects the way he views life and his future the years he has left.like the world is so bad he can't find a place for himself in it a future to invest in.
he is thinking of going back to them they offer the only solution that he can relate to wipe it out ( harmageddon ) and start again its like he needs reprogramming to enjoy life

Anyone like an invite to the memorial?
by Axeman injust visited my 80 year old mother who rarely goes witnessing.
noticed a pile of tracts for the memorial she has been given to distribute.
50 houses is a lot for an old lady you'd think jehovah's organization would cut her some slack.

Shunning
by Axeman inmost of us here accept that we were indoctrinated as jw's on a very personal level ie: how we should dress acceptable jobs association with socalled worldly people even your own flesh and blood.
a divisive them us mentality them bad us good so having been there i cut my ex wife and sisters a lot of slack telling myself that they are not really responsible for their actions re treating me as if i were dead .
those of us who have experienced this know from their experience how cruel and inhuman this policy is yet the relatives claim the victim status saying that they would not have to do this if you had not left and they are hurting.

In bed with a WT clone
by Axeman ini married a jw convert.
looking back it was if she related to me and the kids like we were a duty like she was reading a scrip on how to relate to us.
like her love ( if you can call it that ) depended on how well we performed as witnesses.
