  Xmas, love it or leave it??

  by DATA-DOG in

  i have to say that i’m not enjoying the xmas season.

  i have no emotional ties and i’m spending money that i have not set aside for xmas during a slow work season for my trade.. i’m not happy about it, because it’s foolish to spend money when you aren’t making any.

  then i feel like i’m expected to do all this, and to be happy about spending money and time on persons that i’m not that involved with.

  Reminds me of being tired and bored and hungry. My dad used to regularly hand sweets down to us kids tho so that kept me going.

  As i got older i used to try to find girls.

  That didnt work so i volounteered for either first aid or cleaning so i got a bit of time away from sat in that hall/stadium.

  Id never force my kids to sit still for an entire weekend. Why the hell did our parents (for the born ins) think that was ok??

  Hello Everyone, Another JW Has Left!

  by SuperGirl in

  just want to introduce myself and let you know that this site is working and is a big help to lots of jws with doubts.

  i've been lurking for about a year, the first couple of times i was frightened and literally shaking visiting an apostate site but it's the only place i can come to for sanity.

  the religion has become a nut house.

  My story

  by Leeny in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i came across this website when i was looking for some emotional/mental support lately as i was summoned by elders to explain someone’s report on me saying “i’m promoting homosexuality”.

  i’m inactive, not attending meetings or associating with jw outside of my biological family for almost 2 years now.. yes i am gay (you can judge away) and yes it is in a direct contrast to the scriptures, no arguement about it.. i was brought up in a jw family.

  my dad is a typical zealot, he literally talks or thinks about the bible 24/7.

  Hi Leeny. You woke up young like i was when I was DF. The next few years are going to open up alot of doors for you!

  In response to your bracketted statement "(you can judge away)" I assure you none of that will happen on here! This website is a fantastic resource that i wish i knew about when i was going thru my JC.

  i spent a considerable length of time living and working in america (would love to imigrate one day).. almost everyone i worked with and made friends with carried a concealed firearm of somesort.

  i found this pretty interesting and as an avid firearm fan even more so.. so to our american members here... .

  as a jw did you or did you know any practising dubs who carried or if not had firearms for home defence?
