    does anyone else experience this or is it just me? my jw mom just called and said she wanted me to call her back on my lunch break...but she didn't say why....so now i'm all nervous and worried, wondering what it is....did i get found out on this site by a lurker?...is there something wrong in the family?....i don't know!!! now i have this awful knot in the pit of my stomach that's going to stay there until i find out what the hell's going on........does (or has) anyone else have this experience with their jw mom or dad...where they say they want to talk to you, and u have to sweat it out until they're ready?...... maybe i came out into the open too soon.....

    luv, jojo

    yeah, when i was 16. i hated it. i almost always assumed the worst, but i found that when it truly was "the worst" they just talked to me straight away and didn't keep my waiting. when i worried over it, it was almost always something stupid.

    personally, if i were you, i'd be hoping that you were "caught" so that you wouldn't have to worry about that crap anymore. when i left (when i was 21) i had that feeling you're talking about, but afterwards i realized that 21 YEAR OLDS AREN"T SUPPOSED TO FEEL THAT WAY!! my only regret was that i hadn't gotten that crap (and the guilty feeling) out of the way years sooner.

    Yes, all the time......Then when I find out what it is.

    I get all worked up over nothing and I mean its nothing.

    I hope it is nothing!

    I used to all the time - if someone didn't return my calls immediately I would get paranoid and imagine that there was a huge consipracy against me and everyone hated me and simply worry to death over it. I usedto wake up 5 out of 7 mornings just feeling scared for no apparent reason. And yet invariably there was nothing to worry about - I was just being paranoid, because I was raised as a JW which equals paranoid. But now as I am finally putting all that crap behind me and gaining a semblance of maturity I don't panic very often. I trust that I am sensible and calm and good enough to negotiate my way out of any bad situations I find myself in. Its a great feeling of empowerment!

    Me too Kitty.

    Now I know how others felt when I would call them or see them at the KH and say "Can I have a word with you?" I would usually say that before the meeting and unknowingly make them sweat the entire meeting.

    Sometimes being caught is the best thing. Sometimes the continual fear of the confrontation is worse than the confrontation itself. Who am I to talk. I won't confront anyone - yet.

    Oh God I know what you're going through atm. Every time my mom asks "Let me talk with you for something" all of the little things i've done in the past 5 years come to mind and just pound my brain until she speaks to me. Just hold it out, it'll be over soon.
