  Hi Ben,
  And welcome. It is tough growing up I know. My parents are witnesses and they were very strict. Just a suggestion, remember they do love you! And they are doing what they think is right and trying to help you.
  Try to be honest with them. But be polite about it. I wasn't always honest and am now paying the price for that. And above all love them back. You will be glad you did.

  Should You Ever Think of Me

  not too long ago i was talking to an acquaintance and the subject came up of how we really dont know even the people that are close to us.

  i called to mind a funeral i did some time back for a friend of mine.

  this guy was a great big, burly guy with a voice like a gravel truck unloading and a bone crushing grip.

  Frenchy,
  Your post is so true. I have learned a great deal of tolerance through my experiences, and try not to judge people from the outside. Because we never know what has happened to them or walked around in their shoes.
  Beautiful poem. Thank you for sharing. Again I say, if these are your words, you have great talent!

  the recovery process of leaving the watchtower taken from http://jwfiles.com/recovery.htm {credit where credit is due .

  i worked years ago with a middle-aged couple that was second and third generation jws who at my urging, read ray's book crisis of conscience.

  he had been a former elder and the effect it had on him literally made him sick.

  Zev,
  Go for it. I haven't finished reading it. But I have read a lot of it. Some of it will break your heart, some will make you angry. But above all it will open your eyes.

  Seven,
  I am so sorry that I missed this post from the beginning. I have thoroughly read it now though.
  I hope it is not to late to add my thoughts.
  I too went through therapy. My counselor had good and bad points. And I did have to dig into the past somewhat. I quit going after a year. I felt I was ready. I think I stopped going in May of 1997. Guess what, recently many of the things she worked with me on, are just now taking affect. It really amazes me sometimes! I wouldn't trade that year for anything. The benefits have been immeasurable. You may remember, I am a rape victim too. Therapy not only helped me label it as just that, RAPE. But it also helped me to know that like you said, "It was not my fault". I carried around that guilt for twenty years, she helped me release it. She also taught me to take care of myself. She used to ask me that at the beginning of almost every session. "What did you do to take care of yourself this week?". I used to get so angry when she would ask me that. Because I didn't understand. Now I understand.
  Everyone here seemed to give such good and loving advice! It never ceases to amaze me, when I see the love and compassion shown here. We might not be professional, but we care about each other! And that is of immeasurable value!
  Keep trying Seven, you are intelligent and a wonderful human being. You will be a survivor. And a better person for it. Hugs and kisses to you. And to all the rest of the caring people who posted on this thread.

  DO THE GB HAVE A CONSCIENCE?

  by anglise in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as you read of all the "flip-flops" and the cover ups and even blatent lies that the gb has published throughout the years doesnt it make you wonder how they can do it.. if they really believe there is an all powerful being whom they represent how can they actively be so misleading and dishonest in full knowledge that he sees and knows what they are doing.. "9 for, as regards jehovah, his eyes are roving about through all the earth to show his strength in behalf of those whose heart is complete toward him.

  you have acted foolishly respecting this, for from now on there will exist wars against you.

  " 2 chron 16v9.

  it would appear that certain dastardly husbands have been making witticisms at the expense of their dear wives.. don't look innocent, we all know who you are....... expatbrit.. husband quotes:.

  i just didn't know her first name was always.. i haven't spoken to my wife for 18 months.

  i don't like to interrupt her.. marriage is a 3-ring circus: engagement ring, wedding ring, and.
