Hi JoJo,

I too have been through many instances like yours. Several times, I have felt like I was going to have a nervous breakdown. I don't know what your spiritual or religious beliefs are at this point, but what has been the most important thing for me is heartfelt prayer. Every day, I pray for God's direction and for Him to free me of my irrational fears. I highly recommend the book: Combatting Cult Mind Control by Steven Hassan. He point out that people like us are suffering from the after effects of mind control and deeply instilled phobias.

Here are some very important points to consider:

1) Go to the public library and browse through the archeology section. The archeological record from around the world has absolutely proved that humans have been on earth for much longer than 6,000 years as the Watchtower teaches. Countless human fossils that are several hundred thousand years old have been unearthed around the world.

2) The geological and scientific evidence from around the world proves that the global flood of Noah was not an actual historic event. Actually, the scientific evidence shows that it would have been impossible.

3) The archeological evidence pretty well substantiates that Jeruselum was not sacked in 607 B.C.E.; therefore shooting the 1914 doctrine full of holes. Read the book: The Gentile Times Reconsidered by Carl Olof Jonsson.

It sounds like you may need some exit counseling. I will be gettings some as I too suffer from the same deep fear and feelings of anxiety that you do. Here are some resources that may help you.

Take one day at a time. Try to find a spirtual support system. Remember that God is all loving and all merciful. God is not a fallible, neurotic, insecure, jealous, and vengeful God as portrayed in the Old Testament. It is impossible for the omnipotent power of the universe to have frail human characteristics such as wrath and jealousy.

This temporary experience just may well prove to be a powerful experience that will qualify you to help others just like you. Remember that there is lots of love and support for you that is just a mouse click away.

I think JW's are the only group who were sad when the Cold War ended and happy on 9/11, I remember when I was a kid, my mom would watch the news looking for tragic events so she could say, something like the system was going to end, Jehovah was punishing the wicked, or my favorite tonight may be our last night on this worldly earth. Man talk about messing up your kids, I was always like well then why do my homework!

Just an observance, but this is the last post made by the poster who made this thread. Which tells me something, people here are not always as free as they may hope for.

The thing that ive learned in the last few months is that if someone is told something long enough, he/she will start to beleive it no matter what it is, whether it be that the JW's have the truth, or whether its to stand on your head for 5 hours a day, and the second that you stop doing either you are looked down apon, so i guess just try to think that its more the fact that your mother has been brainwashed, thats the way ive dealt with the way all my old mates have left me and dont want to talk to me. I hope that helps.

What a nightmare Jojo...the more rational part of your mind is telling you the truth, simple; the other part of your brain is simply responding to its cultish programming - learn which one to ignore.

We all go through this though and we all need that additional little 'pick me up'.

Think positively; you posted originally in June and we are are still living!!!!

Are we in the new system lol?

VERY Interesting!!

It seems that they have a close congregation, since they are just now exchanging phone numbers. If they don't see you at the hall they don't see you unless someone comes on a sheperding call. My family was in the trooth for 60 years and we had maybe two calls to encourage us.

Your Mom is a nut!

She is trying to scare you into coming back.......................won't work.

lol....no...i'm still free from the dubs. my job on the other hand has kept me enslaved. I really appreciate everyone's support on this. I've been spending the past few days reading the chapters in CoC about 1975 and all of the other failed revelations. Now I'm not going to lie...with everything that's been going on with Korea and the war, and now they're talking about an earthquake hitting Memphis anyday...yeah...that teeny little jdub is still running around in my brain screaming "THE END IS NEAR THE END IS NEAR!" I have found however that a beer will shut it up. I just can't wait until 2 years from now...I'm going to call my mother and say, "Well, we're still here...what happened?'' ~luv, jojo

Greetings again kitty,

If you want to confound her w/ love, just remind her with all the new innovations (CD's, Cell Phone, Ipods, the evil internet, etc), that if she'd stop and think about it, it's really a great time to be alive. Try it. I did it. It puzzles dubs to no end. They cock their head like a dog.

I am glad to hear that. Someone brought your thread back to the top and I checked and saw you did not respond anymore and with the topic at hand, I thought "oh crap", her mother got to her. Glad to see it did not.

Please help!!!
