so, i just saw a story on the news, young mom has breast/bone cancer.
so her friends arranged a car wash to help pay for alternative treatments,,,$1k 2x a week she needed.
oh i am so ticked.
(((Wendly))) I too have it it with their supposed "LOVE".
Like many others have posted here, I have experienced more love in times of stress from NON witnesses.
I am like you, shunned by my kids.
It's sometimes more then I can bare....
here is part of my story until i have more time.
i am know 30 years old, i have been married for almost 9 years to someone who has no relgous ties at all.
i was baptized when i was 19 due to pressure from my family, they wanted me to to get baptized when i was 16. i think i may hold the record for most comitee meetings probably about 20, i was publilcly reproved and disassociated.
Welcome Okisooner
i've just been writing away the past few days about my thoughts and feelings since my husband and i decided to finally call it quits and stop going to meetings.
in fact, he's the one who told me about this website.
he's a lurker though, so i don't think any have heard from him.
Welcome
Thanks for sharing "your story". It amazes me how many people raised in it, just went along with it.
It's good you started thinking for yourselves and your future...

my story is much like others.
i have found a faith to call my own, thankfully.
my parents don't agree with it, though they are very much still in my life, whether it's in my head or on the phone.
Welcome
i will no longer be posting here.
just wanted to tell you all i love you guys.
i will be checking p.m.'s for a few more days if anyone wants my contact info.
I will miss your posts.......you have a PM!
ok so this was told to the entire congregation by the circuit overseer.
"the society knows the tract work brings hardly any new disciples in.
we get a few good experiences out of it and a few start studies and attend a few meetings.
Very interesting.
so after marrying a good jw girl at 18 who was an elders daughter (married at 18 like most jw kids).
she was leaving for weeks (6-8) at a time to "visit" her parents in the same state(3 hours away).
i finally had enough of it and told her it was over.
Welcome
That was a weird divorce story. I am sorry you had to go thru that. Don't know how the JW's could ever go knocking on doors after how they have treated you.
I think there are plenty crazy JW's.....after reading this thread.
i am white, my husband is black.
he is not baptized but goes to all the meetings and is in the school.
a few months ago i read the following info which i just copied from vinny's thread.
(((A & W)))
I am so sorry for all the hurt you have been thru. I wish you a better,peaceful life.
