I am truly sorry for all the woes you have been thru. What is worse is the WTBS making you feel worthless by not recognizing you are repentant. The prodigal son was accepted back, so should you.

You are valuable. Toxic people or groups should be avoided at this time in your life. Jesus said you would know his brothers by their "fruits". One is the brotherly love, it should be VERY evident. Use the scriptures to determine who really is following what Jesus said. As for me, the lack of brotherly love has wounded me deeply. I do not endorse elders that spiritually abuse people either, that is not love. (they spiritually abused me on a "welcoming visit" when we relocated to a new KH in a different state. I wanted to throw them out of the house, but instead, I sat in shock of the horrible things they said to us. I knew that Jehovah did NOT approve of the visit)

So for me, I don't feel JW's have the true religion, they have failed miserably on the lack of love and with their NGO with the UN they have committed spiritual adultry. I doubt that Jehovah is proud to have a group of people that endorse his name that do NOT turn in pedophiles. Do you think that hurts Jehovah's heart to be associated with pedophiles? As a parent, if my child was a pedophile, I would be greatly ashamed and hurt.

Your gf you were enaged to sounded like my first husband (a JW) he cheated on me since the 2nd anniversary up till we got divorced, 20 years of marriage. Be glad you aren't married to a cheater. I know it hurts to go thru it, but at least you didn't invest 20 years with her and have your heart broken several times and have children involved.

Keep reading and posting...and seek a counselor that can build your sefl esteem, and work on your child abuse issues. You are worth it!

Is David Beckham worth $250 million?

by unbeliever in

jw
friends

i read that david beckham is leaving real madrid and coming to the us to play for the la galaxy.

soccer is not that popular in the us and that is a obscene amount of money to pay a player and i am surprised that david beckham would want to finish out his career playing in the us.

i guess for $250 million anyone would.

codeblue

Not sure if he is really worth $250 million....but he is pretty darn HOT!!!!

Six Steps To XJW Freedom

by hillary_step in

jw
friends

1) find your 'crisis of conscience' and practice saying 'cognitive dissonace' in front of a mirror until it rolls of the tongue as easily as 'red herring', 'circular reasoning', strawman.

do not be put off by the rest of the family laughing at you and your dog using your leg as a latrine.

the knack is to make people think that you knew what all this information meant before you read the book.

lol...

I won't be FREE till my kids are out...........

DAMN IT!!! (Is that what you meant by swearing....? lol)

Has anyone stuck with it despite all of this?

by Cass in

hi all, i know this must have already been discussed, but i'm just wondering if there is anyone here who has just kept going to meetings and the rest of it, just so that they don't lose their family?

thanks in anticipation of a response

codeblue

Welcome

I faded and then told my adult kids why I stopped: spiritual abuse. Now one of them has relinquished contact.

So me, the victim is the problem. Another classic case identifiying the JW's as a cult and also of spiritual abuse.
