  After leaving did the feeling go away?

  by committeechairman in

  the feeling that you're never good enough.

  the feeling that you're wicked and evil.. .

  because i'd give anything not to feel this way.

  I've mentioned this before on here.

  When I left, I was a loving dad to two great kids. I had a succesful small business which I worked hard to build up. I was popular and trustworthy. All things which should leave you feeling good about yourself. Fulfilled.

  Yet, I felt like absolute shit due to the constant drip feeding of negativity at the hall.

  Upon leaving, those feelings just evaporated & I had a lovely new feeling of self worth.

  My JW wife has low confidence & suffers from depression. I put a lot of that down to her involvement with witnesses & the teachings.

  Whenever I see jehovahs witnesses, they're all the same. Downbeat, depressed & miserable.

  Get out. Get your life back.

  Any strategies to deal with elders who just don't like you?

  by toto555 in

  so any ways to deal or cope with elders who just don't like you (you didn't do anything wrong or they're just making stuff up about you) assuming that you can't leave?

  especially when it comes to for example becoming appointed as an elder.

  or are you pretty much "dead in the water" if the elders are determined to like you despite reasonable efforts to win them over.

  i note that they're making reference to this in the upcoming convention programme.

  someone has has dropped a bollock here, have they not?.

  i mean, if i were a jw, i'd be sitting thinking of all the promises made and broken.

  Surely it will be counterproductive in some cases.

  Im really surprised.

  I'm sorry but the couple look like a pair of psychopaths.

  Approaching the issues in this manner is very provocative and self defeating.

  Also, the commentary on the film in their house is dreadful. The two of them look mentally ill and obsessed.

  Perhaps one day they'll realise that they're doing themselves a disservice.

  Heard of Knowles.

  He had his story printed in the tower.

  Such a waste.
