  The Abandoned Husband

  by compound complex in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  not of your own accord would you slip away and leave this fragile and wounded man unattended.

  i love you deeply, but, i admit, erratically.

  my flaws are manifold.

  have you found that,.

  the longer she stays 'in' the greater her sense of entitlement?.

  Are Jehovah's Witnesses A Cult?

  by What Now? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i came across a great quote.... the distinction between cult and religion lies squarely in how those leaving or those wanting to leave are treated.. hits the nail on the head for me!.

  Many Member Just Want to Believe

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if you are/were an active jw, you are now here on jwn so, for whatever your reasons, you woke up to some degree- hopefully a great degree.

  so what i am saying may not apply to you.. i know that if i had not already left, i would have stormed out on the day they studied "overlapping generation.

  " i am quite confident i couldn't have stayed for such an obvious switcharoo just to make the end seem imminent and try to explain how wts was wrong, but not entirely wrong in the past.. but i had to wonder how that change (or others) didn't cause most jw's to walk out.

  When did you start getting ANGRY?

  by Separation of Powers in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i started the fade....i recognize that i was upset, mainly because of the desillusionment.

  but, over the course of the past several months, i am noticing an increasing anger toward all thing org.

  it can only be described as indignation, not simply upset.

  to date JWism has defined my life and i hate that TRUTH

  by oompa in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  and i am finding the adjustment to the real world far more difficult than i ever imagined...i f...it has been about five years since i totally woke up to the fraudulant nwt and then all my other doubts i had carried for years were proved true as well.

  but almost all of my few friends are exjw or slack jw's and i feel so isolated...my sons friends are mostly exjw too but not their gf's and they have way more normal friends .

  how have you done at replacing lifelong friends and family?
