posted on tuesday, april 20 @ 09:22:27 the culting of christianity.
not long ago, religious cults were dismissed by many americans as being the stuff of aging california hippies or eccentric gurus from the far east.. .

On CNBC,,,,PRINCE admits he is a JW....Did U believe he was?
by LyinEyes ini am watching prince talking to the reporter on cnbc, and she asked him if he is now one of jehovah's witnesses and he said......."yes".
i have read things in magazines and newspaper articles but i really could not believe that he was an active witness.
well, i guess i had to hear it with my own ears.

JW Get-togethers
by Nosferatu indo you have any good memories of jw get-togethers?
a lot of my good memories of them have tarnished with age.
i vaguely remember them.

I enjoyed them during my teen years because I really wanted to do things, and you know you weren't suppose to associate with "worldly" persons, right?
As I got older, before my first husband left me, I didn't care for them at all, it was embarrassing to go to them alone. Then I got divorced and I was struggling with how to put a "new life together"...Going to them divorced was just another reminder of what I use to do as a "married person". Couldn't handle it.

How Do You Make Friends Now?
by exjdub incodeblue's thread about the teenage years made me start thinking about another aspect of being raised jw.
in the org we had ready made "friends" by virtue of our affiliation.
i found that after leaving jw's it was hard to meet people and it took me a long time to make friends.

Wow...good topic...
I am a recent fader and am still trying to figure that one out. You are right, we had "instant friends" just by showing up regular at the meetings and field service. Unless, like the last few KH's that I attended, the lack of love was sooooo obvious you were barely greeted when you came to the meetings.
We live in a very remote area, so it is hard to get a "job". We relocated for my husband's work. He has an excellent job, but he travels out a lot...leaving me alone.
I believe if I could work, I could strike up some friends, like I did on my previous job. I am a very outgoing person, but went thru a bit of a depression finding out the truth about the truth(tm). I isolated myself way to much during that time...which made the depression worse. Fortunately I have come out of my "shell"...opportunities are now happening because I take advantage of them when they show up.
I have gotten to know a few of my neighbors...I have taken personnel attention to them and show it when they are truly in need. I have aquired the "angel" title from one of them, since she is going thru some personal difficulties and I have just let her vent at my house a few times.
