Sorry about this absolutley CRAZY insight to my mind.

by dm6 in

hello everybody.. even thinking about typing this thread as i lay here in bed at 11.30 at night, is hard enough, but i found some sort of motivation to do it.. i dont expect a massive response really, i guess all i really want to do is empty my mind out and stop things whirring over and over.. i am worried for my brother (younger brother he is 23) he is in guernsey channel islands (uk) and is in and out of intensive care drugs etc an there are a thousand more strings attached.

(drugdealers after him, homeless, jobless, about to go to prsion long story).

its a worry for me as his older brother.

My dear dm6,

I've just read what you've written and I wish from the bottom of my heart I could say something that would comfort you. But all I can think of saying is that though we are (probably) continents apart, I felt very close to you as I was reading and very, very desirous to help you out.

Please know that many other readers will feel the same way. We all wish you found some happiness in life, and yes, it may happen in the most unexpected way. Life is SO full of surprises, some of them very positive, that you may find a few months or even weeks from now that you are actually enjoying your life.

Until then, know many of us will be sending you positive energy in all sincerity.

Love, OLGA.

i remember watching these videos, early in my exit, and i enjoyed them.

(the author participated here, at one time.).

on deconstruction.

goldensky

I've just watched the five videos one after the other and I caught myself actively nodding lots of times! I relate to so much of what this nice ex-brother explains! Like Slimboyfat, I wonder what he is up to nowadays...

Thanks, Leavingwt, for posting them!

"out the mouth of babes " my six year olds opinion of shunning !

by looloo in

walking back from town today we saw two old ladys and i said "good morning" my child said " are those ladys the ones in that religion that come and talk to you about something but i dont know what ?

" i said they were not but she started to ask about grandma again(jw grandma that has not visited for 18 months , her disfellowshipped dads mother .

) it was quite difficult to answer some of her questions and i told her daddy and i dont want to be in the religion because they dont let you see your family who leave the religion (amongst other reasons !

Aaww! How very sweet...!

another family destroyed by jehovahs happy organization

by Evidently Apostate in

as i sit down and type this i have realized that if i could have seen into the future and known that this post would need to be created (for my own peace of mind anyway) i know i would have never given the jws a minute of my time.

a little background: i have been a jw for 20 years and found a wonderful woman in the religion she was a pioneer when i met her, an elders girl but that did not matter to me , it was and always has been her compassion and love for people that endeared me to her and we have been happily married for almost my 20 year tenure as a jw.

we have several children one of them is a teenage boy.

goldensky

Dear Evidently Apostate,

So sorry to hear about your nieces' situation...! Thank goodness you are giving support to the younger one. I hope your "good" example will help your brother and sister-in-law to wake up some day. Too bad for the control your in-laws have over them.

I was very glad to read you and your wife are not under their control though and are so tolerant with your son. He definitely has many more chances than his cousins to live a full and satisfying life. All the best to all of you.

hello (you know who you are), if you see this thread!

we chatted after he was finished with work.

Hello, AwSnap! I know how happy you are nowadays, you are a beautiful person and I hope nothing will spoil your joy. It doesn't sound like it though, so put your mind to rest. Love to you. OLGA.

JWs REFUSE to Reason!

by brotherdan in

so last night my wife brought the situation up again and kept telling me how sorry i'm going to be for what i'm doing to our family.

i kept a mild attitude and tried to reason with her.. she refused!.

i went about it in the way that sweet baby cheezits recommended.

goldensky

Dear brotherdan, you were very patient and humble, and I admire you for that. I hope I'll react like you if ever I'm confronted to a situation similar to yours.

What Did You Expect to Do During the 1,000 Years?

by Ding in

for those who were jws, what did you expect to do during the 1,000 year reign?.

since only loyal jws would survive armageddon, it seemed to me that field service and tms would be eliminated.. so what did you expect to do with your time, besides getting rid of the dead bodies and petting lions?.

goldensky

Hello, Ding! Give birth to and raise as many kids as possible...
