Everyone who comes to these forums is damaged goods because you are seeking companionship outside of Jehovah's congregations. Simple as that. "and most of all being a former Jehovah's Witness makes me feel less than perfect." Well Duh!!!! You made that choice to go against Jehovah so you are very damaged. I can't believe the stupidity on here.

Yes I do.
I'm upset with myself right know because I had the opportunity a few years ago to take time to heal myself and make sure I wasn't going to repeat past mistakes. I really wish I had done it then. I know it's not to late but my life is more complicated now.

So basically, you're saying that YOU are definitely "damaged goods"?
Oh yes... I feel that way almost every other day. With what I had been through and trying to escape the collective. I feel like what's the point? Why fight it? Just stay plugged in and deal with it.
Then the fighter in me comes out.
Pissing against the wind, ect; tell me the odds and I fight against it that's how I am. I'm a warrior and deep down inside I must survive this.
Trying to escape something like this drains, and drains one's emotions to no end.
And I know that deep down inside that I'm loved, by me. And I do my best to shine that love to others that might not have that within themselves. I know that I'm not exceptional; but I feel that that's what I here to do as well as to find what spirituality means to me.
And Ms McD, we care and love you too, keep your head up.

grissom - when you're out in the Field Service, do you JUDGE householders too? You must remember to tell householders how STUPID they are for not believing what YOU believe - you know, just like JESUS would have. Oh, and don't forget to use words like 'DUH' and 'Faithless/ness' in every sentence.
misanthropic - yep, but sadly I don't think he understands ONE word of any responses.
Me Ducket I fully understand that feeling.
It passed but every once in awhile it will sneak up on me.
I think part of it was having such a radically different past social experience than most around us. Well for me that seemed to be part of it. It made me feel separated from the world I was in.
We are a very small minority in society. Not many have ever experienced surviving the WT. Plus those that have often end up having serious problems like my two childhood girlfriends that are gone now. In fact all the JW kids I grew up with self destructed in one way or another. That also gives us a feeling of detachment. We are social creatures without a history.
Be assured this feeling too will pass. It makes us wiser, softer, more sympathetic to other's suffering. I am also blessed to have loving husband now, but sometimes I think he can only try to understand who this odd lady next to him is.
My feelings come not only from the WT but having been born with a genetic disease that I have to have regular medical treatments for. Talk about feeling like damaged goods!
I hope you feel better soon. Take good care of yourself while you having these feelings. The strongest people in the history of mankind are those that have emerged from adversity. I'm sure they felt some of the same things we have. Wishing you a great summer~Kate

Nope. I am not seeking companionship. I have been in the anti-apostate business for over 20 years. See nothing new here. This is just where the front lines are. So if I want to come to do battle with a bunch of faithless ones, fools as the Bible calls them, then I come here. If I seek companionship, I seek Jehovah's people at the Witness groups.

What is involved in running an anti-apostate business?
At times.
See you in heaven Grissom
