I cannot believe my father called me to ask this!
by serenitynow! inso my father, a jw bum who abandoned us when we were children to be with his pioneer whore, called me tonight and left a message.
this is surprising because i have not seen or spoken to him for a couple of years, other than to leave a message a couple of weeks ago to tell him that i had to hospitalize my sister for being suicidal.. i found out about a week ago that one of his very good friends, a brother whose family used to go to the hall with us and used to be close to when we were children is dying in the hospital after having a couple of strokes and a heart attack.
they've been talking about taking him off of the ventilator for a few days.

Emotionally blackmailing an acutely mentally ill person!
by serenitynow! inso my sister recently got out of the hospital after being suicidal and expressing a lot of delusional thoughts.
she is doing a lot better, but she is by no means back to her normal self.
my sister is an exjw, technically just inactive, but she reads the several versions of the bible and prays.

March 2012 Awake- Why are JWs so angry?
by serenitynow! inwell, that is what the title should say.
it actually says, "why are people so angry?
" i think it's funny because anytime i try to say anything to a jw that is not praising the f&ds and the org, i get nothing but anger from them.

Now I know why confused newbies do this!
by serenitynow! ini very often just get random thoughts popping into my brain.
i was thinking about how the wt always makes a big deal of studies sending a formal letter/notice to their church to ask to be taken off of their rolls, as opposed to just not going anymore.
the need to put everyone in a neat little category- inactive, strong in the "truth", weak in the "truth", d/a'd, d/f'd, sheep, goat, etc.. i read a post today by a new jwn member who obviously took a wrong turn somewhere, and would like one of us to send him/her a recording of the ca for his/her elderly parents to "enjoy.

The more stories I read on JWN make me long to go back to the hall...
by serenitynow! ini read the stories of those stuck in, or those who are out but still experience unwelcome, intrusive visits from dubs and i want to go to your hall.
or be at your house when the jackass elders come over.
i could say all the things you want to but can't because you're afraid to out yourself, or because you are just really nice.

When do I get to have MY nervous breakdown? Venting...
by serenitynow! ini know that sounds crazy and stupid, but has anyone else ever felt like they always have to be the strong one for others in their life, but you don't feel that strong?
like you have to be the sensible, dependable one, while the people around you have breakdowns?.
two of the most important people in my life had psychiatric emergencies on the same day.

What did Jesus mean at Matthew 10:34-36?
by serenitynow! in"do not suppose that i have come to bring peace to the earth.
i did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
for i have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.".
