at one point, this morning (gmt) i had 14 of the "last post"s on the top 20 active thread list (probably 15, when i post this).. i hope it says more for how quiet the board is on a saturday morning, and less about how obsessed i've become with the board, again.. maybe it's time for another wee spell away....

LT:

I enjoy your posts!!! Don't stop. But I do understand why you might need what you call a "wee spell away"...lol

I have found myself looking at this site about 4 times a day, wondering if I am addicted (?) or just like knowing that I am not alone in feeling the way I do....

I am new on this journey coming to this site...and relocated to another part of the country a year ago, both happened at about the same time, even though I didn't start posting till last June.

my hair

by LukeN in

lately ive been getting alot of negative comments from brothers,sisters and others about the length of my hair.

i mean sure its long but theres nothing wrong about it.

is there anything in the sciptures about hair length in men.. god its ridiculous when others try to put you down.. well you can judge for yourself.. .

codeblue

Hey Welcome!!!

You look like a happy teen and you have fantastic hair. I know many of us women would "die" for your hair.

But, when living under your parents roof, you must abide if you want to eat..lol...sorry...I had rules that I didn't like either. Maybe a compromise haircut...one that sorta pleases you and one that your parents can tolerate would be the answer here. Ask them if they can "work" with you on that, ok?

Nosferatu: You and our newbie could pass for brothers!!! Wow ...And Nos...you take a really great picture, you have a great smile and very warm eyes...Would love to see a pic of your waist length hair now!!!

Quick Introduction

by Nocturne in

jw
friends

i've been lurking here for a few months now, and i've been wanting to post for awhile now but i've never really been up to it.

i first stumbled upon the information about the wtbts being an ngo for 10 years in september, and ever since i've been finding out about all the other things the society has been up to.

as of now, i'm still going to the meetings, but now my eyes have been truly opened, and i can see things in a whole new perspective, and it's amazing the deception that's going on in the organization.

codeblue

Welcome!!!

Isn't it amazing when our "rose colored glasses" come off? I too was raised in the "truth" and a pub for 36 years when my "glasses" started to come off. The Dateline issue on TV (almost 2 years ago) started causing a lot of doubts for me. I hate hypocrisy and when I found out the WTBS have thousands of pedophile lawsuits...I just didn't feel so warm and cozy about it.

You will find some very caring people here and more info that is legitimate. Enjoy your new journey!!!

I have just read this thread and wanted to cry for how it is making you feel.....I am wanting to give you a huge hug because you WEREN'T RESPONSIBLE for Jane's actions. I second what everybody else has written: You were just a cog in the wheel, doing what the WTBS dictated for elders.

I am MORE concerned about YOU because this situation wasn't your fault. Please be kind to yourself. You have done a lot of good for many people.

I remember how you and Joy showed me great kindness while I was suffering thru my divorce and feeling like suicide. You guys didn't even really know me, but you were so hospitable. Your kindness meant a lot to me during that time, and you both gave me STRENGTH to know that I was a WORTHY person. I will never forget how you 2 helped during my time of "crisis". I am so thankful for what you did for me.

Hugs,

A question for all women that were raised in the "truth"

by codeblue in

.

do you feel like you have low self esteem because of being raised as a jw?.

codeblue

Nilfun you said:

The issue is complex, and each experience isn't identical. Some of us can look in the mirror and self talk our way out of those feelings of low self esteem. Others of us need more than that.

I LOVED THAT COMMENT!!! You hit the issue right on it's head...I think many of us understand and agree with what you just said.

Country Girl: I feel so bad for you...I can feel your pain. If you want a sister, I am there for you, pm. me anytime. One of the reasons I learned to praise my 2 sons was because I never received any praise from my parents or siblings. (Don't misunderstand me, my Mom was very loving..just too busy with being the family provider as my Dad couldn't work) My first husband was a real butt as well and he was a JW that cheated on me several times. He rarely told me I did anything good or was pretty...When I first started working and guys would tell me I was pretty, his response would be: "they only tell you that you are pretty cause they want to go to bed with you"...geez...thanks a lot!!! Now I am married to a wonderful guy who really appreciates me, but it is very hard to tell myself I am what he "sees"...

I have learned a lot from so called "worldly people"...they have taught me I am worth a whole lot more than my family or any JW Kingdom hall I have ever been too. They have in the recent past helped me more than any JW's. When I started working, I was amazed how people "liked me"...their caring and love was "unconditional".

...NO, I don't wallow in any self pity...I started this thread to see if I was "alone" and why people felt the way they did raised in the JW religion. I am happy to see all of the responses, to know as a woman, that I am NOT ALONE in the way I have felt and very happy to see that life can and will go on in a positive way. Isn't that what we want for all of us? I know I do

US policy of legitimatizing paranoia

by jst2laws in

(january 9, 2004) .

on friday, the united states government lowered the national threat level from an high to elevated risk of terrorist attack -- or as more commonly known, from a orange code to yellow code.

Interesting Jst2laws....Makes me wonder if such a calculation could be made about how many die each year as a result of unswerving loyalty to a cult?

My thoughts are with you....loosing a parent is HUGE...I lost my Mom when I was 14, and then my Dad when I was 28...

Hugs to you,
