Lies on Line...I always thought JWD was a forum for Honesty
by restrangled inafter finding this forum and being raised in the jw religion, i found jwd a refreshing place for honest feelings, fears, life experiences etc.. the history of the jw's was exposed, and those who lived any experience under this regime has been told by many members.. to be lied to by any forum member is insulting.
i have over my past year and 1/2 come to love many posters.
i realize many more have much longer time put in here.. i have been honest and exposed more of my self than i care to think about, but always kept in mind that others were doing the same and it was best for anyone new.. to lie on this forum to all of these members is horrible and i am questioning why i am so honest here.

1975 Letdown increasingly becoming topic of conversations among witnesses
by Meeting Junkie No More ini have noticed that more and more, witnesses seem to be discussing the 1975 debacle amongst themselves, and agreeing that it is amazing that witnesses as a whole are all still here and the world is still here, and their kids are now in high school, or married, or whatever.
they also seem to be discussing the importance of retirement plans, in direct contradiction to what cos and dos are spouting at the annual conventions.... the last time this happened was at a recent funeral, where another long-time witness had passed on.
the interesting thing was that a younger group were discussing this, and some of them weren't even around in '75!.

Were You Also Molested by Tom Pulsipher?
by feenx ina little background on my question: i recently was contaced by a cousin of mine who lives out of state because he wanted to apologize to me for anything he may have done that was unkind to me when we were kids (he's a couple years older).
he also elluded to "images" in his head (what i'm going refer to as memories) of doing terrible things to me.
this is the closest that any of my cousins have come to remembering or acknowledging the abuse we all sustained from our grandfather, thomas (tom) pulsipher.

Anyone still have trouble expressing anger?
by tall penguin inhaving been doubly mind-f*&ked by an organization that preaches peace and poor boundaries and a perfectionistic mother who hates conflict, i find myself still having great difficulty expressing my anger in a healthy way.
my past response when angry was to cry or turn the anger on myself and become self-destructive, ultimately leading to suicidal thoughts.
i find lately my subconscious percolating anger almost constantly.
