  I think the judicial committees are afraid of gun ownership. Or they should be.

  OMG YES!!!! I was 19.They (especially one. BROTHER SELFRIGHTEOUS UPCHUCK) went to my parents (even though I was out of school and working/living on my own) and told them HIS version. I didn't know this for 25 years. Several years afterward the initial event one "kindly" elder showed my mother "notes" on the meeting. No notes were written while I was in the room. In my 50's my mother and and I finally talked about it and figured out the real truth of the matter. I was not disfellowshipped but was publically "reprooved" reprooved at the initial event. Then followed 25 yrs of misunderstanding with my mom. Notto mention loss of friends.

  Two books sent to me by xjw

  1. jw

  i just finished reading "i'm perfect, you're doomed" by kyria abrahams and am trying to hurry thru "the spanking room" by william coburn.

  i would have laughed out loud at the first if it were not just an east coast version of my early years.

  the second i don't think i can read too closely as it just goes over the same stuff only more of a guys view.

I don't think I will read any more of these as they just kind of drag me back into the holy muck and egg life vision/version. They leave me kind of teary. Has anybody else read these?

  i wondered how did your "best" jw friends react to when you told them you're leaving wts?.

  after i found out all i needed to know i called up my old friend who i thought was a good friend but i knew he was a die hard dub and i told him to write down a book and read it.

  i was refering to russell's thy kingdom come.

  When I left it was during my divorce and that ache in your chest sometimes isn't there but then it can surface sometimes. I think it's called a broken heart. Life can be very dissappointing.

  Hi - new kid on th block

  by nearlyfree in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been looking at this website for about 2 months now and feel i am now ready to say hi and intoduce myself.i dont want to give out too much info at this point in time as i still am in the org, but have only been to 2 meetings since the district convention in august and last time i went out on service was in march.

  i was basically raised in the truth as my parents became jw when i was 2. i was married in my late teens and after 21 years of being married to a total control freak he left me (yay).

  anyway since me ex left, i had been doing a lot of thinking about being a witness, and i wasnt really going to a lot of meetings - just didnt feel like it.

  Living With Regret - what do YOU regret about being in the org?

  by babygirl30 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  1. getting baptized at 14 and not knowing what the heck i was 'signing' up for.

  2. dating worthless, lazy, no work ethic, selfish 'brothers' who were supposedly approved all because they were baptized - but in the end - were a waste of my time and younger years in dating.. 3. subjecting my bf (back in the day) who was a non-jw to the whole jw experience!

  i demanded that he study, i demanded that he change his religion in order to be with me, i made him sit with my parents and listened to them berate him (and myself) while they fed him all their haughty beliefs and requirements in order to date their jw daughter.

  I hear y'all. I regret all those years I lost to them. Not dating. Not having a childhood. But I'm pretty happy now. Now that my mom has died I don't hear anything about it . Just move on as best you can and it gets better.

  My life changing dilemma

  hello all, although this is not my first post here, this topic was the main reason i joined here, so i can get different views on this.

  my native language is not english, so i might make a blunder or two.

  please bear with me, my story will be long.. as you can guess, i am a jw, and currently still am one, this is my 10th year.

  Ily feel for you and hope that if she will not go to counseling that you will treat yourself as the valuable man you are and go for yourself. When I was divorced I did not look forward to "being alone" but I found myself good company and I think the happier you WILL become will be very attractive to some wonderful thinking woman. When you have someone with somekind of mental illness combined with mind control it will not bode well for your future to be happy. It would only get worse. Just start with counseling and the great reading you are doing and keep us posted. Just wondering, can you move to another town? A new start with new people can be better than trying to reactivate people you have let go.

  New here

  by Heartbreaker in

  i have no idea what i want to convey in words here on this site, and have surprised myself by even joining at all.

  i intended just to read, and get a few pieces of information, and now am a member, and spend many hours looking through posts old and new alike.

  i am a current jw, born into it, and lets just say i'm in my thirties, female, and a mom of more than your average kids.
