Do you have anger issues because of mistreatment by JW's?
by LyinEyes ini have been reading the thead on jw suicide the last two days and i have to admit, i am boiling mad, angry, and literally have thoughts of wanting to put my hands around some of the jw's who have abused so many......lol!!!!!!!
i realize this is not at all funny, but i do laugh at how i let this get to me to the point of fantazing of slapping some of the "higher than thou" jw's i have ran across in my life and those whom some of you decribed.
i read scully's story and wanted to choak the ones who did not pass her the emblems at the memorial.. i get so mad when i read how some of the jw's want to pass judgement on the one's who have committed suicide , saying they will not be resurrected.

lost and alone
by black ghost ini was raised a j.w.
for 20+ years and slid out of the back door in 1998(no-one noticed me slide) and when i went out into the big bad world i found i was completely naive and clueless as i had lived in a tiny shell all my life, for example i had never met a gay person and i believed every non member was evil and out to get me.. has anyone any similar experiences?how did you get the past out of your mind and move on?
do you still feel disadvantaged or do you think you benefited in any way?.

Demons and Inanimate Objects
by VM44 inthe watchtower has published articles telling people not to shop at thrift stores, salvation army stores, etc, because the items purchased might have demons attached!.
experiences have been published by the wt, and particularly the awake!,where people are reported to have been bothered after bringing the used items home.
to only relief was after the objects were taken out and burned, usually after several attempts when the object would not catch fire!.

Was There Ever Any Rule That You Thought Was Silly In The Organization?
by minimus inthe rule on having "large gatherings" was stupid.
because some people abused a "christian get-together" that had a lot of people, we could only get together in smaller groups.

Personal Growth
by simplesally inhave any of you thought of going to college since you left the jw's?
now that its not forbidden and you are free to do what you want .... it should not matter how old you are.
i know...... you think: i am 35 or 40 or 52, go to college?

how much did you give up?
by zen nudist ini completely lost it and could not keep the tears back and my throat choked with grattitude to these men and my country.
i had missed feeling patriotic soooo much!
pasted from another thread...but got me thinking, how much did you stop doing as a jw, not because you really believed it but because you could not do it and still be a jw?
