  2. friends

  don't know if anybody else has caught this yet but there is a very interesting phenomena going on youtube where former jws are posting videos titled "i am sorry that i knocked".

  i'm considering doing one and i would encourage any of you out there that can should post one up there too.

  from what i have found on youtube six people have done this so far.

  This is how JW's view the change in the book study

  by TooBad TooSad in

  a very good friend of mine is convinced that the change in the book study arrangement.

  is a sign that the end is so near and the jehovah made the change to emphasize the.

  importance of the meetings.

  Overcoming deep depression....success stories??

  2. friends

  guys, for those who know me here, i apologize in advance for being such troublesome pain in the ass.

  i have had some scary low spots these past two years, and was imo on way too many meds.

  i really had a death wish for awhile, and do not want to revist that feeling.

  I posted a question on yahoo answers, in regards to the book study arrangem

  by PaNiCAtTaCk in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i posted the question last night, to try to get some jw's take on the matter.

  of course most of them are really showing how brainwashed they are, by quoting the letter almost word for word, gas prices rising etc.. i personally feel that its wonderful, as my parents are getting older and they've been doing 3 meetings a week since the early 1960's.

  the way i posted the question, i kind of insinuated that i was a jw struggling with the loss of the meeting.

  What was your saddest day as a JW?

  by jambon1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had many days like this but i will never forget the time that a 'prominent elder' publicaly declared that he wants to see the worldly people die at armaggeddon.

  "i hope that i can look out the window & watch it all happening".

  i went home and thought; 'wtf am i a part of here'?

  My friend needs advice re: wife who wants to leave JWs but won't celebrate

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have a friend who has started the slow fade.

  recently, his wife talked about leaving, but she is still hung up on worldly holidays.. this is what he says.... one of the concerns my wife has about leaving "the truth" is that she wants our children to grow up with wholesome examples and association with their peers.

  my wife knows jws aren't the only religion to teach their kids to behave morally, but what about the holidays?

  Something I learned from being born-in

  by dinah in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  been thinking and painting today.. anyway, my mind started wandering and settled onto this: being born in has made me more understanding of people since i woke up from the cult.

  i came here, met a bunch of other born-in peeps who immediately understood.

  we have all kinda branched out in different directions.

  started out like any other normal day..with plans to go to taos with my girlfriend and a good buddy o mine (wlg) sorry mang...had to give u some recognition on this one...anyhow..we went out to a nice place for some breakfast..wandered around taos, went to the taos pueblos to get a chance to watch the native americans dance at the taos pueblo...then we went out to the taos gorge..which for those who dont know is a quite big hole in the ground bout a mile down...the bridge is somewhat a daunting look down for ones who have never seen it before.... anyhow...my girlfriend at first refused to step one foot out onto the bridge but with a little coaxing and a promise to make sure she wouldnt fall off i gradually brought her out to the middle of the bridge where there is a small outcropping where one can stand and look out over the gorge...we stood there staring over the side of the bridge for a few minutes then i slowly took her hand in mine and looked deep into her eyes.... ....and i dropped to one knee....(quite funny too cuz initially she was like what are you doing?

  )....i still had her hand in mine and she was staring down at me like i was doing something silly or humorous like is my usual personality trait...i stared at her for a minute or two and said a few sentances of which are too personal to bring up here and then i asked her to marry me..... she looked at me and said "what?!

  are you kidding me?!
