Anyone with type 2 Diabetes?
by LyinEyes ini have been to two doctors appointments in the last 7 months and it is confirmed that i have type 2 diabetes.
i was so scared when i found out, i have had many of my family die early from that illness.
since leaving the jw's , i can say that now i finally don't have the death wish that i secretly carried with me for so many years.

I also have type 2 diabetes and have had it for about 10 years. I am also on metformin 500 two twice a day along with glyburide two times daily. It seems to be keeping it under control.
There is a new (contoversial) med called Avandia which my wife is on, works quite well for her.

So sorry (((((((purps)))))))) that you went through so much. For all others in a similar situation I offer this advice that a I was taught at a seminar on abuse. The only answer for physical abuse is to call 9-1-1. This is the best way to stop repeat offenders.

Do You Have A Goal Regarding Jehovah's Witnesses???
by minimus innow that you're mentally out of the religion, do you have an expressed goal regarding the witnesses?
do you want to expose the religion for the fraud that it is (like i do)?.
do you want to set up a ministry devoted toward the destruction of everything watchtower?.

I have been out for 27 years so I really do not care what happens to them. My goal is to get my daughters out and back into our family. I never give up hope that someday they may leave.
On saturday my wife and I were sitting in a restaurant when a JW came in with her adult daughter to our shock she sat down in the booth beside me and filled us in on all the crap going on in their cong. This a woman that we were very close to for years, but since we were df'd in 1980 she has shunned us on many occasions so this was a complete shock to both of us. She sounds so discouraged and I think she is ready to leave.(I hope so) She thinks she has been marked because she associates with her df'd daughter who has remained friends with us over the years.

I need some serious informational help from EVERYONE!
by Thedirtysecret ini am new here and i joined honestly to collect information to understand something a little better.
my boyfriend, well-now kinda boyfriend (were at a weird place) is a jehovah's witness and i am not.
he waited a little "far" into our relationship to tell me he was, which created a mess, honestly an emotional dyfunctional mess.
