  A question for those recruited as adults

  by kls in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i remember who my husband was before we were recruited,you know what i mean, his humor,his daringness.

  i am sure i changed also but only to an extent because i had to many doughts.

  as i quickley ran from the cult ,i could sit back and see the person that i married into the person that the watchtower created.

  Wow...that is great to hear!!!

  How long have you been talking to your Mom before she decided to start her own research???

  What did you say to her to get her to research???

  Just wondering.....I have children that I would love to "rescue" so they could know the "real truth" as well.

  Talesin, I am so sorry this is happening...so sorry to hear about your Mom.

  Please go see your MOM....

  I was 14 when my mom was admitted to the hospital...dying of cancer...I came home from school and was told she died....I couldn't believe it...

  Blondie had a great suggestion, get a good neighbor or friend to go with you...Jw's will be nice to you if you have a "worldly"(tm) friend with you.

  Please know that you are being thought of today....(hugs to ya).

  A Million Questions

  by ConcernedMom in

  2. family

  hi, i have been lurking at this site and a few other jw or xjw sites in search of some clarity but i am just getting more confused...

  my 15 year old daughter has been dating a 17 year old jw for about 2 1/2 months.

  he seems like a very nice kid--very shy (he is just starting to talk around me now...still not too much to my husband).

  Welcome to the board Concerned Mom!!!

  Very interesting situation....and I am glad you are doing your research. Many have posted that the JW family doesn't sound quite right....I was raised as one and dating was NOT allowed till you were ready for marriage...but there are varying degrees of how a person or family chooses to live and can still be a JW...

  Anyways....I want to recommend 2 books for you to read by Steve Hassan. They are: "Combatting Cult Mind Control" (JW's are not mentioned at all, but when he outlines cults...you would have thought he was talking about the JW's as well) and his 2nd book: Releasing the Bonds. Get your daughter to read these books as well.

  I am happy to learn that your daughter is an honor student and has plans of being a pychiatrist, that is exciting!!!

  lonliness after leaving

  by orbison11 in

  2. friends

  just wondering, did any of you become hermit like after leaving.

  i see many of you are able to carry on.

  maybe with the help of non-jw family, etc.. but for me, i lost all family and i am having a hard time with acquiring friends, although i have many many aquaintances.

  Yes....I am going thru it right now. Both my husband and I have been fading for a year now. Like the other posters have said, it is part of the process. It is an agonizing process, much like going thru a divorce....I am hoping one day that I will feel myself again.

  Just got back from the YMCA

  by Atilla in

  i went to the y last night just to relax and go swimming.

  the y near my house is pretty clean and after 8 p.m., not very crowded.

  i find it very relaxing to go work out, play basketball, go swimming and then sit in the sauna after a long shower.
