  I told my mother to stop contacting me

  after two months of terribly abusive emails from my mother telling me that i "am not capable of appreciating true love" and her weird delusions that i have no friends and my life is a mess, i finally cut her off.

  i blocked her email address, and i told her to stop contacting me.

  yes, the jehovah?s witnesses.

  Do you have obsessive/compulsive disorder?

  2. experiences

  considering the way the jw's constantly tell you that you're not good enough, i wondered how many people here suffered from ocd?

  i guess you would have to be raised in the truth for this to really affect you.

  i struggled with this until i was in my early 20's.

  Devil's Playground

  has anyone seen the documentary "devil's playground"?

  i highly recommend it.

  it's about the amish custom of rumspringa, in which children are allowed total freedom for one year when they turn 16. unprepared for the real world, they have a year of debauchery and end up in all kinds of trouble (anybody remember that old jw parable about pulling a rubber band so tightly that when you finally let go it flies across the room?
