  Your real question is - "How do I deal with the resentment I feel toward my parents?"

  Some find it helpful to write it all down in a letter to the offending party (even if that party is no longer alive). Explain to your parent's how their belief system was imposed upon you and has materially affected your life in a negative way, that you were denied the educational opportunities that they themselves enjoyed. Include the things that you personally would have done differently had you not been hamstrung by the WTS. And try to say a few words about how you forgive them - they were misled also.

  This will help with the resentment part of your dilemma.

  Do you feel guilty?

  so while i was out hiking with the dogs today i got to thinking about this forum and was wondering how many of you still feel guilty from time to time for leaving?

  i do, i miss my family at times but then i think about the life that i have created and i have a good one, i have good friends and i am happy, happier then i ever was as a jw.

  i was just wondering if others feel the same way sometimes..

  JMNTD,

  Guilt is a WTS tool that they wield in so many ways. You are a sensitive, caring person and that is just the typle of individual that they prey upon most effectively. Against all common wisdom, this is the one time to put yourself first - kind of like the airline advice to put your breathing device on before you try to help anyone else.

  well after the international bible student founder charles russell came to me in a dream a few days ago and gave his opinion on the current state of the watchtower society, his views evidently found their way to his successor, joseph franklin rutherford a.k.a the judge.

  not to be outdone by his predecessor, he decided to invade my dreamland last night.. .

  i was enjoying a view of mt.

  he sold his bicycle.

  malachi, an elder who lives in burundi, earned his living by farming and by transporting loads on his bicycle.

  in order to support their kingdom hall construction project, malachi decided to be at the construction site every day.

  New Year Resolution: A new recipe every week

  by Simon in

  1. jw

  we decided we don't cook enough and are pretty bored of what we usually eat (whether home-made or eating out).. so .... our new years resolution for 2014 is to try a new recipe every week.. so far we've done some jamie olivers roasted vegetables and right now we're making cornish-like pasties.

  apparently, people are very militant about exactly what a cornish pastie is so our's are cornish-like because dammit, we wanted peas and carrots and whatever seasoning we wanted to stick in there too!.

  smells delicious and can't wait to eat them.. i also invented a new dish using a leftover half-tin of garden peas and a slice of bread.

  Terry, I too, communicated with an old JW friend in the past year. I really thought that after nearly 50 years (!) surely some lighbulb had gone on. Her hubby was an educated non-JW and she had 4 children and they enjoyed a privileged lifestyle. She enjoyed material advantages but I thought surely the odds favored some change in her circumstances and therefore enlightenment on her part.

  A very nice e-mail from her disabused me of my wishful thinking - she and her hubby and children (save one) and grandchildren are dedicated witlesses. I haven't had the heart to answer her and it has been 6-8 months now.

  It makes me kind of sick.

  you can't make up this kind of religious nut-job fanaticism:.

  although in retrospect, it's no more extreme than those jws who die refusing blood.... adam.
