  just thought i'd let you'll know that today is my 34th birthday.

  i recieved loads of gifts which my kids helped me open (i think they were more excited than i was).

  i've been noticing a few grey hairs showing recently and its becoming more of a struggle to keep my waist size down.

  this weekend is the annual greek food festival, sponsored by our local greek orthodox church, and for the first time i'm going!!!

  mom, who is greek, and dad never let me go because to participate would be giving money to bad old babylon the great, and i followed that stupid rule after i got married too.

  well, no more -- we're going to the food festival!.

  Hurry up with Part 5!! I love reading people's experiences. Maybe one day I'll write one of my own.

  Reading this is a flashback through time. You and I are close in age, so I was going through my teenage years at the same time - urgh! (we need a smilie with pimples and greasy hair)

  because of being told i need to be a robot at work, and not so "pro-consumer", not so focused on the caller, not so emotionally invovled...i post the following in case you ever need to call a consumer resonse line.

  if you have a heart, here are some guidelines:.

  don't make obscene calls.

  Great post Berylblue! Although I've never worked in a call centre, I have worked in customer service for several years, and it is frustrating with customers every day.

  The worst calls though were on Christmas eve and New Year's eve. Then we'd get tons of old people calling, pretending they were interested in traveling just so they could talk to someone. They were so lonely and they had no one.

  How sad!

  Post a pic of the child that you were,,,,,,,,,,in honor of healing

  most of you know that i have moved back to my old house, and in the process, had lots of boxes to go thru.

  i have found so many treasured moments of my life, things like my kids, my family, etc.. for just a couple of hours lately i have been putting alot of my pictures when i was young on my personal file, just because they are the only copies i have of them.. i heard it once said that when you have pain in your past , your childhood, that you should look at that picture of the 8 or 9 year old you once were and enbrace her,, or him.

  i have done that, and i can tell you it opens the door to so much healing, so much compassion for yourself, something that you as an adult really need to move on.

  some unimportant random thoughts & reflections

  by DanTheMan in

  1. jw

  to be honest, i feel like i barely qualify as an ex-dub.

  wasn't raised in it, no relatives in it, and aside from my first one or two years of being involved with it, i didn't believe much of it.

  but at the point where i first started having doubts creep in, instead of investigating those doubts, i turned off my brain.

  I have these imaginings that people on this board PM each other: "don't you think DTM is such a weirdo?" LOL

  Don't imagine it, it's true!!!!

  Nah, I'm only kidding. The times your name has been mentioned it's always in a positive way

  Please don't be a stranger to the board. Everyone contributes in their own special way, and I have always enjoyed reading your posts.

  Good luck with school and everything you want to accomplish.

  Social anxiety VS. Jw influence

  by NEWWORLDSLACKER in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my question for tonight is this : after leaving the witnesses do you still feel disjointed from society in general ( and i mean the human race not the wt) ?

  im realizing that i still have quite a hard time in social situations where there are more than say 4-5 people .....i tend to get into a dreamy feeling state , and just basically out of it feeling .

  i tend to blame it on being raised a dub .

  People outside the organization are not blinded by the delusion that JWs have about themselves and it has been hard to find myself somewhere in this world. I belonged to something for so long. Where do I go from here?

  Great thread, and I thought the above quote was an excellent summary of why ex-JWs find it so hard to manage in the big bad world we never thought we'd be a part of.

  We were used to being part of Something Big. We represented the Sovereign of the Universe in the Universal Issue of Jehovah's Sovereignty. And we knew that we were not alone, we were part of a Worldwide Brotherhood in settling that all-important issue. Meanwhile, the rest of the world were set to be destroyed at Armageddon, while we knew we had the chance of Everlasting Life Forever on a Paradise Earth.

  How can you top that? No wonder life seems so ordinary and un-inspiring in comparision.

  Jo,

  Are you sure you weren't in my congregation? Just goes to show how homogenised the congregations were/are in Western countries if I can recognise my own congregation in yours (with the same situations when giving talks).

  Great post as usual from you. I enjoy reading your posts
