What sort of a witness were you?
by brinjen ini'm talking door to door service work here.
were you the kind who would insist on getting a conversation at ever door?
or where you (like me) the kind who would take a "not interested" as an excuse to get the hell out of the householders face?

i was the over zealous type. wanting to "help" all the people out there that were doomed. lol i was so stupid. I thought i had all the answers. I wanted to have a bible study with everyone. I was so convinced that i could help the people that i talked to when i was wrong the whole time. Elders even took me on their bible studies because i was so enthusiastic. the perfect little christian girl. it was sad. lol

MYSpace....How Do You REALLY feel about it?
by onlycurious inthis is for all those parents of teens out there..... do you really want your child on myspace?.

she gets to do a lot but she's starting to try to be a lot more independent from me and when it comes to the web, i am very careful.. anyone dealt with this one?.

sassy, thank you so much! wow... you know lately i've been going through the whole guilty don't want to be selfish stupid feelings i usaully have before i really try and get help. i convince myself i'm being too dramatic and tell myself i don't need therapy i can get along fine on my own dealing with these things in my head.... but i know it's not true. i know that what i do to myself, by convincing myself that i'm selfish in thinking i need help, is part of the problem but i can't seem to break it. You are a very strong person and thank you for sharing as you did. I'm honored that you think that what i went through is anything like the horrible things you have been through. You have helped me. i may have some questions for you a little later.

What happened to you, to not to "feel the love" from the "friends"?
by swirlgirl inthinking back at the start of me questioning that perhaps the "friends" were not really true friends at all, were some experiences i will relate below: please share those that you have experienced.. after i had carpel tunnel surgery and was in a cast.....not one of the "friends" asked me about it?
at first i thought they wanted to be "polite" and not draw attention to the fact of the cast...but thinking more about it afterwards...it was just plain unloving and uncaring.
while i was still in the cast....the cong.

there are many of those experiences... All the gossip and talking behind other's backs i heard when i was out in service with all the other pioneers, One "sister" actually asked me to not associate with one of my friends because she wasn't baptized.
one of the most hurtful experiences of my life was when i went to the elders about me being sexually mellested by my brother and no comfort was given. it was all about them wanting to know the facts and of course they showed me scriptures talking about god being there for me but not one "i'm so sorry this happened" If you read my story you know that not only did they not atempt to give me any comfort for what i went through they tried to cover their asses by warning us against going to the police. i think that was when i really realized there is no REAL love among that organization. it's all a show. It's sick ,that's all, Just plain sick.

What didn't you do because you were a JW that you now regret?
by jwfacts ini just bought a bottle of wine for an exjw's 30th that i am about to run off to.
on it there was a great quote by mark twain:.
"twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do... explore.

I've very young but the only regret i have is caring so much what people thought of me. I pioneered and lost a year of my life because of trying to be someone i'm not. i also regret judging people back then. No one has that right. i'm grateful to get out now and live my life the way i want and not care what someone thinks of me. it's a great feeling.
