Dissociative Identity Disorder and Therapy
by writerpen injust wondering if anyone has experience with this or knows an x-jw who has been diagnosed.
after years of trying to un-do everything through countless therapies, it appears this has been the problem all along.
i sit with my new psychologist, an expert in dissociative disorders, and she has all the jw lingo down, which tells me she's treated other x-jw's.

Are humans programmed to belive in god?
by highdose inthis is somthing the gb likes to assert.
but they ignore the many atheists in the world as they do so.
i have been coming more and more to terms with the fact that i don't blieve there is a god out there, gradually i am accepting this..

Forum is GREAT, but...are there any ex JW chatrooms if we need a steady dialog?
by 20+wastedYRS ini am happy to have found this forum and will be reading and posting frequently.
but... i have wished at times that i could have a good steady dialog on certain, more puzzleing issues and a chatroom would be perfect for those instances.. anyone know of one?.
also, one other quick question... while very active in "truth", i researched the whole beard issue and came up totally empty on my search.. btw: i have a beard now!!!

Follow up to my saga
by Heartbreaker ini realize i'm a bit quiet here, and most if not all won't remember my story, so here is a brief synopsis.
i recently decided that i'd rather pursue life rather than a future life promised but not realized.
i was fortunate enough that my husband agreed in that he didn't want any man telling him what he had to do, or how to live, and so left with me.

Scribblings at the convention
by MisfitMeL ini'm sure others have done similar topics and there might be many points that are repeated - i apologise!.
i allowed myself to be dragged by mum to the district convention which was a very bad idea... i have not been to a meeting in four years... so it's like staying clean for four years and then overdosing it for 3 days in a row (5 days if you count the total time spent staying with an elder's family!
) - bad reaction!

I have finally figured ot how a lot of JWs gain more members besides having more kids...
by cognac ini've noticed that when a bible study is conducted, when worldly people have questions a lot of jws say that there question is covered later in the book.
that way, the worldlys get stopped in there tracks all the while feeling like there questions are getting answered while the assimilation takes place.. they either forget there question or the book tells them what the answer is without either giving them biblical proof or twisting scriptures.
i've noticed a lot of paragraphs in books just telling people what the answer is without scriptures or saying something like, "surely it would make sense that...".

Death: Friend or Foe?
by Narkissos inthe jw and the (pseudo?
)scientific "hopes" of individual "everlasting life" (which have been connected on a couple of recent threads) have at least something in common: they all seem to take for granted that death is a bad thing.. as amazing as it may be to you, this amazes me so much that i don't know even where to start.
of course death hurts in reality when you lose people you love, or in imagination when you anticipate your own extinction.
