  hi, i haven't used this for a long time, due to the feeling of not needing to.

  i've been getting on with life, fine, for some time now.

  so been out 10 years, parents and other family still in.. well i guess i'm just asking how you cope, really, my family are becoming worse with me, and my son, (who has autism), little by little, and just the general putting the jw life before everything else, including me, my child, life in general, simple things and keeping us at arms length, it's really hard, as i have a relative trying to dig dirt on me, spreading it round the family in order to try and cause more upset for me.. so just a simple question, on how you've all coped in this situation.. thanks .

  Just a thought on blood

  don't get me wrong i'm not a vegan coming on here with facts about this, and that, but i've just been reading about milk or should i say any dairy products containing, pus and blood.

  apparently it is always there no matter how pasturised the products are.

  i was wondering if any dubs were aware of this ?

  i heard this the other day and confronted my j.w parents with it, of course they denied it..

  Just a little note for people still in.....

  by billie jean in

  i'd just simply like to say to anyone who's still in and trying to break free, that there is hope that others (family still in) may see sense and not disown you entirely, sometimes things can seem more frightening than they really are and we can't see that untill we've tried it.

  once the hard part is over you just have to 'stick to your guns' it is extremely hard especially if you're alone in leaving but it does get easier over time.

  i'm fully aware of families totaly disowning you and this is the hardest part but the freeness of mind and feeling of liberation, along with hopefully better mental health, for yourself and children (if you have any) i'd say personally is well worth not staying in a miserable organisation like this..

  JONESTOWN CULT

  by billie jean in

  2. friends

  please excuse my english ways but i've just watched a documentary on the jonestown cult and i was struck by the similarities between this cult and the the organisation.

  i know this has most probably been discussed a lot but i was just wondering, for my own reasons what other people think about this ?

  and if there are any similarities ?

  Not been on for AGES but need to rant

  by billie jean in

  1. jw

  i've not used any boards for a long time because i felt i'd got what i needed from them and felt i needed to 'move on' for want of a better word.

  i've just come back from staying at my j.w parents house for a few days (which was long enough) we don't usually bring the subject of 'it' up but the other night i got it all, the bile was out, they were on defensive mode, to the point of shouting, insulting me, telling me that they'll 'cut me off' if they find out i'm apostate, then laughing at me and causing me to actualy feel worthless it was unreal.

  i told them i'm an atheist and tried to tell them what the 'truth' does and what it really is but i got absolutely nowhere.

  Help needed, how can i ?

  2. friends

  i've not been on for a while as i havent felt the 'need' but ive just logged in and read some very interesting posts as usual.

  well i'm off to stay with my very witness parents very soon (for a few days, which is long enough) i do love them but its very hard being around them a lot of the time.

  im fully aware that we have to come to our own decisions on the matter of realisation but i was wondering if anyone has any tips as to where i could start in craftily helping them, giving them something to perhaps think about ??

  A bit of a mixed up question ??

  by billie jean in

  not to take away from someone elses newest thread about disfellowshipping but just why is it so varied who they df and who they dont ?.

  i myself had been baptised then suffered a mental breakdown which they didnt know how to handle so they just didnt, i wanted to fade anyway so dont blame them now im just glad they didnt harass me too much to go back, they visited about twice but id since heard they hadnt a clue what to say to me.

  anyway i wasnt disfellowshipped and i never sent a note of disassociation in.
