  Lol, JV, you sound like me, but I was thinking this way for so long before I finally quit going! I think there's hope for you, though!

  Hilarious, as usual.

  Did losing your religion send you into/exacerbate depression?

  by SixofNine in

  i think most of us here agree that our past belief in the jw organization as being god's sole chosen people was delusional on our part.

  for myself, when i lost that delusion (fairly abruptly too), i came out of a long period of depression immediately.

  while i was incredibly angry at having been decieved, i can't say that that anger translated into any other negatives, in fact, overall, i think my general level of anger, even at elders/the gb/etc subsided, as i now understood why they do what they do even better than they themselves understand it.

  Sixer,

  For myself, when I lost that delusion (fairly abruptly too), I came out of a long period of depression immediately.

  This was my experience too. My health immediately improved too and now it's the best it has ever been. I sleep well and my digestion is far improved, as is my general disposition and outlook. I love it.

  my mother was out in pioneer service yesterday with another sister.

  their car was broadsided by another car, running a red light, drunken driving, and both women were tragically hurt.

  my mother sustained head injuries, and some other broken bones.

  Hi Country Girl - I hope your mom and Sister Faulkner are all right? What is their status? Your mom must be a pretty tough lady!

  Prophecor, I'm mesmerized and soothed by that beautiful red sunset photo you posted. Lovely.

  I guess I'm at the opposite end of this "idea" in that I rarely ever feel invisible anywhere. There have been many times when I felt the desire to go unnoticed (and in all likelihood was!) but if you're self conscious, you sometimes think all eyes are on YOU, with the occasional spotlight on you too! Silly I know. That's how I felt whenever I walked into most Kingdom Halls.

  This kind of thing is mostly in our heads, I think, don't you?

  Why do you post here?

  by seattleniceguy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for me, it's mainly the money and the women, i suppose.. no, but seriously, i was thinking the other day about why i post here.

  in september it will be two years since i left the organization.

  i don't much care for doctrinal debates anymore, and i usually pass on threads that are concerned with he-said-she-said kind of stuff inside the organization.

  Hahahahahaha JV!

  I know what you mean though. It was always a real challenge for me too.

  And Swan, good point also! There were a lot more fun gatherings when I was young, then they were discouraged and most elders and servants were so afraid to be present for fear of being held responsible for any perceived misconduct.

  In our area, there are again many, many medium-to-large gatherings of young people. I don't know that these are "approved"...but at least they are happening. My son goes to all of them!
