i have suffered with menopausal symptoms for a few years now.

hot flushes and facial sweating, the most noticeable to others.. a sister i knew used to laugh and pretty much, mock me.

i used to say "you wait till you get them" , without being nasty.. i seriously hope she suffers.

Too bad many people do not have empathy for what others go through. Often it take a major change in their own life to see how others feel.

I look back at all my JW years (over 45 of them) and find that my new non JW friends are far more understanding and loyal.

Hard for me to think of them ever mlocking me or throwing me under the bus.

Life is good now... very good

Life elsewhere

by HowTheBibleWasCreated in

i of course grew up with star wars in ther 80s and the 3 star treks runing at once in the 90s' so shows depicting aliens never bothered me.. however in 95 i read 'hyperspace' by micheo kuku.

my dad picked it up and scanned it saying: "i see no reason jehovah didn't create 2 dimentional creatures we cant see.

my dad like alot of the book.

I have never been anywhere but on earth.... Can not say for sure... But WHO really knows? Many speak as if the way they beleive if FACT... I also did at one time... But now... I live in reality

"Are you a progressive thinker"

by Pistoff in

this was the theme of a talk at this week's 2nd weekly meeting with the co.. .

if you are a progressive thinker, so went the reasoning, you will accept all of the adjustments coming from the 'faithful and discreet slave'.. .

this so hurt my head when wife told me about it; really?.

ducatijoe

Never ask why... never ask what about this? Not for me.

Female Attendants

by Quarterback in

jw
friends

the best thing to come from the regenal convention this summer, is to see women used as attendants at the end of the program.

they were used in distributing the new publications to convention delegates..

ducatijoe

They have always been used to pass out new releases. They are not attendants. Only men are used for that. However,, they do do most of the work !

It is a man run organization. What a shame

Need some help from you guys

by bobert in

so recently i've been preparing to move out of my parents house, and i've been seeking social assistance.

at my appointment, my social worker asked me for references to people who know about my situation at home.

i know probably nnone of you guys know me too well personally, or my home life, but i know all of you guys have been through similar situations.

If you don't like being a Jehovah's Witness then leave....

friends

if you don't like being a jehovah's witness or going to the kingdom hall or the society then leave.... it's as simple as that... .

i left several years ago and have not been hounded, bothered or sought out by anyone.

i still see them from time to time, and yes, they do pour out the love bomb when you run into them, but eh, you know what?

ducatijoe

e your problems with you.AMEN... Quit complaining and leave! If not... stay in.. you will not get in much trouble in there. Just like in East Germany... Safe, but controled.

Life on the other side of the wall is great. However I do feel many of you who are to fearful to leave but want to will take your hang-ups with you.

Find who YOU ARE inside first. It takes a lot of self will to get out. Be ready to lose your friends and family.

But you can fine much better friends out here.

And no FEAR!

Sorry... not all of us do! I worked hard from a young age as a JW. Started my own company and did very well. Do your parents beat you? Do the not feed you? oh.... they make you go to meetings? What a shame.

You may be better off staying in a free home until you have aquired skills to make it in this world.

If as an adult you still want to leave the JWS.. go for it. You will find a great and wonderful wourld out here.

However if you start out with the government supporting you.... not so sure of your outcome.

I love my life, I don't want to die

by losingit in

hello everyone..... i've been thinking a lot lately, when i have a chance to be alone my mind immediately comes to the topic at hand-- i don't want to die.

what would happen to my precious little girls?

but i'm so scared that it's going to happen.

Losinit...

In 06 I had a heart attac while riding my motorcycle. All I could thing of while in the hospital was "I can't die! What about my family, what about my secrets, what about my sins"

The following year I was DFed for living a double life. I had changed much of my life by then. No longer living a double life, got things is order, thought all was good. However my past was discovered and I was rightly DFed.

My world came crashing in! I lost all that was important to me. I would walk around Wal mart late at night just to get to the morning.

During this time I had a second heart attac. This time few were at my bed side. I thought I was not going to make it. However , this time I did not have the same fear. I did not care if I lived or died.

I recovered, was re-instated and life went on. But not the same.

Everything from the speakers sounded differant. The Brothers and sisters were differant.

I then decided to leave on my own.

Life has never been better. Please hang in there. Do not fear what will come. It will suprise you!
