ive notice that ive seem to developed quite an obsessive personality.

with food, tv, a certain type of herbel substance, and my ex-girlfreind.

not that i want to blame the jw's for the whole thing, i know there was a lot of factors(ie my family).

You're complex, thoughtful and never content to skate on the surface. Chances are you veer towards being so analytical and introspective that even positive qualities can seem like faults. The truth is that you have a very perceptive, gentle spirit.

You hate chaos at work and prefer a structured environment and sometimes you feel undervalued by your boss. There's a part deep inside you that's aching to make more money.

And that's just scratching the surface!

does jwd fill a void in your life or does the internet in general do so?.

or do you think life is made up of lots of little voids we fill with tv, internet and so on.. what would you be doing if it wasn't for tv or the internet?.

is the issue how much time you spend on one thing?

Ahhhhhhhhh That felt good - great

by Lady Lee in

i am a firm believer that information is power.

throughout my entire childhood and early adulthood either my parents, foster parent, and the wts did a great job of controlling the information i had.

by controlling the information, they controlled me.

hurt dave

info is power and when i acctuly took the "what does god require" from my dad and looked at it with my enlighted mind i relized this material is brainwashing. though raised in the truth fo 17 yes and drifted away for four i felt the need to let go so after rippng it up i let it fly out of my car.

To freeing your minds,

Living a Lie.

well i've finally done it.

i've pulled my head out of the sand.

please permit me to ramble a bit about myself.

hurt dave

i know how you feel i was reaised in the truth all my life till 17 when i was just plain tired of it and didnt really want to be babtized. I blamed all religions and still in the back of my mind belivied that i was wrong and that jehovahs people were the one true religion( pretty good brainwashing aint it). Anyways i gave up my apartment at 21 to move back in and try it again but there tactics or physcologicle warfare were bouncing right off me i instead prayed for the guidence to be strong and i relized this world is nothing to be afraid of came on the internet made the one descion i every made just for myself. Moved out of the parents and wanted nothing to do with "those people". Everybody on this site will know what your feeling and all are here to provide the support to help get over the guilt tht has been programed into us. Lean on me and i'll lean on you

And by the way guys the heeling process is begining now maybe i'll drop the hurt.

for someone who was raised in the "truth" for 17 years it was a very hard and a very scary decision when my father finnally had the "you must choose a side of the fence" speech and when i chose not to do it anymore he flipped his lid and i so "tormented" by my decsion i latched on to "maryjane" to fill the "need".

after living with my parents for two years and then on my own for two more years crying everynoght cause i was alone not knowing way i felt this way this way, i felt a spirtual need at 3:30am i drove to my dads house and beged him to let me came home because the "voices" were drivin me crazy and i needed "guidance" he said well get you a meeting with elders and a "bible study".

so i move back in, had a talk with the elders where they used the bible to call me stupid and i went to there meeting where they used what i said in private and made a whole new talk based around it i broke down crying and prayed to god for the guidacne to make me strong and make the tears stop and the holy spirt led me to this site i moved in with my brother and told my parents i can know longer belive the "truth".

Very Very sad. Typical Jdub Love

by Ticker in

i wanted to share this recent incident and it really pi$$es me off.

i called my grandfather yesterday who is a believing but inactive jw due to health reasons.

he is 83 and in very poor health and is alone since his wife died 3 years ago.

hurt dave

the love that is shown is sad indeed because it is a fake kind of love, they only love and accept you for what you believe but not for who you are.

makes me very sad
