  do you have feelings of hopelessness and fear for not having a religion?.

  do you envy happy jehovah witnesses and living their lives carefree?.

  2015,

  I went through some serious feelings of unease, fear, loss, depression and even, once at a very low point, suicidal feelings.

  It passes. It gets better. Soooo much better! Ive never been happier and more empowered, and i was a pretty cocky and confident person in the cult as it was :) the anxiety and fear comes from having from your support and cooping mechanisms taken away (meaning you cant relie on the org or the desert god to handle things for you)

  focus on developing new stratagies for handling things, thinking things through. It really does get better!

  I will share my one encounter....

  my wife and I fooled around a little before we were married. Not sex but crossed lines that jw's would certainly frown on. Shortly after we were married i experienced something i had never before known nor have felt in the 20+ years since....

  we were living in our new apartment and i fell asleep, a bit anxiety ridden over our new marriage, bills i was unaccustomed to etc etc. i "awoke" in a sweat, an intense heat blazing through the apartment. I walked out of the bedroom and past the kitchen and heard the sound of a hot oven, that sort of 'whoosh' when the heat escapes. I looked over and the oven was growing a distorted metalic face. It looked at me and proclaimed in a voice that was (in my opinion) pure evil and menance:

  "im going to tell everyone what you did"

  i was terrified... Cold sweat instantly broke out all over my body.. And suddenly i realized: i didnt care.

  I looked strait at the oven and said as much.

  The face screamed and receded.

  It was then that i genuinely woke. Sheets damp from my sweat but a true and deep calm pervading.

  
  

  For years i really believed that was demon attack, that somehow i was open to it because of my wife and I's little dalliances. Eventually i realized the truth. I was young and stressed out over my new and difficult marriage. I was also deeply indoctrinated and feeling guilty over dating conduct that wasnt the least bit unusual even amongst witness couples.

  A garden variety "night terror".

  im not a believer in demons or the supernatural.

  To be clear, im fairly conservative in my views (especially on finances) but this who todo is rediculious. She's plainly wrong and its hard to fathom why people dont get it... I would illustrate this way:

  if her religion dictated that she not eat pork, all well and good , nobody is making her. The problem is she got a job at a place that sells pork and is making sure nobody else is eating it.

  Whether or not she agrees with the premise, its the law. Her job is to record documents and ensure they are issued per the law. Thats it. Approval of concepts isnt in her purview. Neither is legislating.

  Under normal circumstances i would simply say fire the fool and everybody moves on, however i dont think thats an option her case (legally). She was warned by a judge. She choose not to resign (clearly her paycheck was at least as important as her principles). She got what she wanted and deserved in my view. Problem solved. The system woked in this case.

  And of course those who blamed bush for everything were different......

  politics is decisive by its nature and riles peoples passions. I enjoyed the spirited debated but its certainly taxing

  Ironically, i am no fan of obama. I think his economic policies are terrible, his foreign policies are horrific and his domestic policies are bad. I will also bet money that neither hilliary nor EW will be elected (sanders is far more likely than either of those two at this early date...)

  that said, what does any of that ridiculous rant have to do with the little cleark in the middle of bum screw america not doing her job? She dosent get to make law. Thats not in her purview. Current law says homos can marry same as hetreros. Issue the licenses and protest if that floats your boat but do your job.

  And for god sake stop making irrational arguments full of red herrings and obvious emotional termoil. You and i would agree on certain points but i cant even begin to touch that radioactive nonsense to try to see where there may be common ground.

  Which begs the question: would she then issue her own marriage license
