  I would recommend that you check out Al-Anon.

  http://www.al-anon.org/

  It is a support group for family and friends of alcoholics. They can help you during this difficult time and support you through some difficult decisions.

  Welcome to the board!

  hi simon, firstly i would like to say thank you for allowing us to post on here, its been a real eye opener for me to see that there are other people out in the world like me, that we are not the freaks after all, when i first got disfellowshipped i thought it was a terrible thing, that i was leaving the truth, now, after spending around a month on here i can see i never was in the truth, so thank you for letting me see that.. also can i say its refreshing to see someone admit when they make a mistake, like you did in the thread by sf, thank you for not being too proud to listen.

  What Is Your Hope Now???

  by YYHWH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my hope for over 30 years was the same as many here on this site.

  when i made my decesion to no longer me a jw at first i just figured that i was a goat and that i would just die at armageddon along with all the other wicked ones.

  well after doing some research on the dubs and on religion in general i have come to some differnt conclusions about life,death and what might happen when you die.. i have to be honest and tell you that it has been difficult to accept the fact that any hope of any sort of life after death is very unfounded.. i have come to believe that religion is for people who cannot accept the only certainty we have in this life is that you are going to die.. my hope is that i can live this life and be able to raise my children up to be responsible and productive adults.

  If I can stop one heart from breaking
  I shall not live in vain;
  If I can ease one life the aching.
  Or cool one pain.
  Or help one fainting robin
  Unto his nest again.
  I shall not live in vain

  Bryant Memorial Service Report

  it is hard for me to transcibe certain feelings into written words especially since i'm not what you would consider to be a real emotional person.

  i have also mastered the art of rarely showing any outward emotional expression.

  i will try and do my best to give you some of the feelings i experienced today through my eyes, so please bare with me.. i drove the hour to mcminnville which is a small town about forty miles south of portland.

  Dave,

  Please let me add my thanks to those of the others. I was deeply moved. I wanted badly to attend this service, but living in Ohio and having a 10 month old son made the last minute trip impossible. Thank you for taking me there.

  Welcome! I appreciate reading your story. I wish I could say it was surprising, but, it sounds as if you were treated with the same utter lack of respect and understanding that the Borg is so famous for in these parts.

  What part of Indiana are you from??

  I know of this phenomenon. My mother is allergic to dust and mold .... but she is also allergic to perfumes as well ... She is not just allergic to the KH .. she is allergic to "fellowship".

  I wonder ... is this a strictly "sister" thing or are there "brothers" in the same boat.

  BTW ... my Dad is an elder.

  Worldly Husbands

  by Frenchy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  larc has an interesting thread going about why jw men choose to date (and beyond) worldly women in lieu of dating the seemingly overbundant supply of 'horny' sisters available.

  i recommend it.. it set me to thinking about yet another interesting phenomena in jwdom.

  that is the situation where the jw woman has, as a husband, a 'non-believer'.

  I didn't think that I would EVER marry. There was no way in Hell I was going to marry into the borg and be eternally trapped. I really couldn't see having children who were trapped. So I decided that I wouldn't marry and that I would try the slow fade. Then something glorious happened. I met a wonderful, sensitive, caring man who had never heard the word "headship". He thought I was beautiful and corageous and strong. He belived that I was an angel sent to earth. He adored and worshipped me. Growing up in the borg, I had no idea that such men existed. I spent the greater part of my first year with him waiting for the other shoe to drop. He would be so tender and appreciative of me that I was frequently moved to tears. I think this baffled him, he took for granted that these were the natural behaviors of a man in love. When he asked me to marry him, my only stipulation was that he NEVER convert to the borg. He is my best friend, my lover and he paved my path out. He has been my supporter every step of the way. He comes from a large family that have taken me under their wing and softened the blow of losing some contact with my family. He is my gift .... one that I never would have known how to ask for. Thank you God.
