  If you still believe the JW religion is the way to Jehovah God, well.....you should read your bible more. (and not the NWT) I am so sorry for your pain, and I hope for the best. Perhaps you can persue a marriage counselor or even a personal counselor. You mention being used. If you are a man, I'd recommend getting legal help to ensure that your spouse doesn't bankrupt you following a potential divorce. Please understand that the elders are simply WT company men, and as such they must repeat what they hear from higher ups. Jehovah God see's your efforts to improve your relationship with your spouse, and in due time things will become clear to all parties involved. You can PM me anytime. 

  Warm Wishes,

  What is the biggest regret or source of resentment because of being a Jehovahs Witness?

  i'm sure we could all write long paragraphs about this question, but in a few words, what is your biggest regret, or frustration in life due to being a witness?.

  what missed opportunities did it cost you?

  A full scholarship to one of the most prestigious Universities in the United States. The stance on higher education is what started my doubts actually.

  Counsellor needed please!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hi all.. i have noticed that many of our forum members have sought professional help from counsellors who deal with ones like us who have broken free from high control groups or "cults".. my self esteem has been rocked by recent events in the cong, and while i know ttatt it still has taken my joy in life away quite a bit.. as you all know, mentally i broke free from the org several years ago, but now that i am trying to start making the physical break, i feel really unsettled and nervous.. i wonder if a good counsellor could assist in helping me clarify and sort my feelings and emotions , and provide help to take practical steps to cut all ties with the org?.

  if anyone can provide ideas of good counsellors, it would be appreciated.. thanks everyone!.

  Yes, I personally use a regular personal counselor, its good to be able to talk to someone about my struggles....and she really helps me work out an exit strategy. Don't shrug off regular counselors......you may find that they learn much about how to handle other ex-cult members as well, and will put forth a significant effort to help you, being that you represent an opportunity for their professional growth. Congrats again!

  Very nice representation! Its ironic in that Japan is the WT's poster-child for pioneering....yet they lead the whole world, it seems, in negative growth!

  Becoming officially inactive

  i don't want to turn in my token time anymore.

  it's only a few hours counting what we do with the kids.

  i don't want it counted for their skewed statistics- or to just for the sake of doing it.

  I would continue to turn in the token time until the move. After the move, the new elders will not have any suspicion and wont be looking for you to make a shepherding call on the newly moved in inactive couple. IMHO this will make the fade easier in a year. 

  Best wishes,

  so, back when you were still in, or even now (for those still in), how do you respond when the elders ask to speak with you in the back room?
