I Have To Do Something!!

Junction-Guy

Every time one of the JW's pop into this board and start with their twisted lies, I get angry and it just opens up old wounds. I feel the only way for me to get satisfaction is to go to brooklyn and picket or something. do others feel this way? I know its not healthy but I need to vent my anger someway

Get therapy or something, or confront your parents with it (but I think you already did that).

I know how you feel Junction. When I read what the JW said on Desi thread, I at first thought it was a troll ya know, someone out there yanking our chains. I still think that , I might be wrong,if so I stand corrected.

I too, get that wave of anger when I hear someone defending JW's beliefs.......give me a break, I hate, I HATE the term....." for our own protection", geeshh how brainwashed , mind controled where we??? It does make me sick, but I don't hate the person writing that if they are truly sincere, because I was that brainwashed myself.

SO what you are feeling Junction, the old feelings is just part of the healing, I know for a fact I will always have the old JW triggers, maybe in time I wont be so angry. But it hurts when you add up all the things you gave up, did with out , suffered thru just please a bunch of old men in NY. Alot of my anger is now that I see the WT for what it is,, I wonder why I didnt see it sooner? It is hard to admit that we were so brainwashed , that we didnt even make any decisions on our own. That is my opinion anyway..

Hey Junction...it was nice talking to you on the phone..This is really what we are here for. If the apologists come around then let em have it. If you get OTT then we'll remove any terribly offending remarks..*LOL* and let it go from there. You are well within your right to get after it if you feel you have something to say. Like they say...buy your ticket and take your ride...that goes for the dubbies and thier apolgists who come here to play as well.

Its an absolute shame that religion could drive someone into therapy in the first place. No I havent told my Dad, there is no way I could calmly tell him how I feel, the things I would say to him could be very hurtful and cut him to the bone.I dont have any desire to hurt him, however I will redirect my anger towards the Society

I think its best that I leave.......I make all you people angry and I don't want that.

And for the defending part I knew that it was useless from the beginning, but my believe is stronger now then ever that I have the truth after reading this: Isaiah 9:17

Junction Guy,

I know what you are saying about the anger thing. A few weeks ago, a "sister" in the KH called my home to speak with my wife who had not yet DA'd (I checked out in January). As my wife was sick in bed, this sister took it upon herself to start lecturing and preaching to me regarding the upcoming WT study article -- the one about guarding oneself from deceptive thinking...hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. After that call, I was so pissed off. So pissed off that I almost printed up a bunch of fliers with all of the really juicy apostate website addresses and good apostate books to read (CofC, etc) so that I could put them on the windshields of all the poor saps sitting in the Memorial, which was like 2 days away.... (I ended up cooling off and not doing it. But it would have been fun!)

I TOO felt that I needed to do something. The feeling is there every day. Some days more than others. We have a JW family across the street who snub us when we see them in the neighborhood, and that usually gets me going.

A good new friend (he and his family DA'd) set up with a bullhorn outside a Saturday morning service group going out for FS. He lit the whole neighborhood up with his bullhorn!!! I can just imagine those dubs running to their cars and skattering like flies!

I guess the point I am making is that those feelings are there, and they may be there for a long time. It may even be stronger in you if you have been a "good" JW in the past --- always DOING something --- going to all the meetings, going out in service, etc x 100000000000000000). That thinking is likely very ingrained into your psyche... Give it time. Don't do anything rash (that you may regret later).

Have FUN, keep posting, and as they say in The Life of Brian...Always Look On The Bright Side of Life!

Cloud,

You don't make all people hear angry,,some yes,,but only a very small minority.

Some people have been hurt very deeply and they may not like what you say,,but that's life,,stick around get to know some of the people hear,,there is a lot you can learn here.

That last post was directed toward cloudstrife, i do find the Idea of a Bullhorn amusing.
