What Things Would You Not Have Done As A JW That You Would Do Now?

by minimus in

jw
friends

as witnesses, we were very concerned that we might offend somebody's conscience and our actions reflected that.

if someone might've been "stumbled" by our actions or speech, we would make sure we would do everything possible to not upset another fellow brother or sister.. i would not have gone to an "r" rated movie.

now, i go to any rated or unrated movie because i don't give a sh*t what smeone might feel over my choice.. what things are you free to do without worrying that someone might be disturbed over it?

Sassy, I like your "S"

thank you Minimus

Do you ever fear that they will kill you?

i've heard the jws referred to on this site mostly as a cult.

as such, am i the only one who fears that one day the society will tell them to eliminate all of us who have been deemed apostates?

i can think of several of my old "friends" who would not hesitate to take me out.

Sassy

naaww.. I can't see them ever doing that.. it isn't their style...

cross your fingers for me

as some of you know but others don't i have been suffering from nerve pain in my feet for the last 4 years.

the pain has put me in a wheelchair and the medications have been less than promising.

it helped destroy my second marriage and put me on disability.

amytriptiline is an anti-depressant. One of the known side-effects is that it dulls pain in many people

I used to take that for migraines.. it was also what I tried to OD on back in 2000..

I'm glad you still seem to be getting some relief Lee... I hope it continues..

Has anyone found dating as an EX JW difficult?

by sweetstuff in

just curious as to what difficulties have faced people dating as an ex jw.

myself, i have noticed the glazed over look in a guy's eyes when you try to explain why your family doesn't celebrate the holidays with you etc.

new to this board, so if this has been well covered before, please forgive me.

Sassy

well I only dated one person seriously after leaving the cult.. he had worked with some dubs and thought they were nice, but the more I talked about what it was like, the more he thought how weird this JW stuff was.. When I had some exJWs come to visit, he gained more understanding about what I meant just listening to us..

Now he totally pretty much gets it.. but we broke up for tottally unrelated reasons.. He was Muslim (still unrelated).. I know I won't date a Muslim again.. I want to celebrate Xmas with someone..

and some xJs do not celebrate either.. so while it would be interesting to date a exdub.. for sure if he is relationship material.. I insist on him celebrating Xmas...

JW's are able to give gifts anytime, not just holidays, BUT DO THEY?

by OnTheWayOut in

on a thread i started awhile back, the following was in the initial post:.

otherwise, the wife recently purchased some fancy gifts for her family members.

ready to send home, i asked her how her df'ed sibling would feel being left out.

Sassy

Sassy,
We had family parties too. Once a month with presents for everyone. Taught the kids to be generous too. The biggest one was always on our anniversary, which happened to be very close to Christmas. Made the kids feel not so left out when they returned to school after Christmas. It drove one elder crazy, but he couldn't do anything, as it was our legitimate anniversary and ok to celebrate, according to the borg.

yeah.. you know I apologized to one of my sons not that long ago about missing out on Christmas all the years they were growing up..

he said.. mom.. you always had all the presents on anniversary.. it was just like having Christmas..

it did help me feel a little better..

after getting caught with their tails between their legs, some of the jw's on the topix board have resorted to trashing and attempting to discredit danny.
