i recently dissociated myself and the elders keep calling me trying to speak and i don't want to hear it then he leaves me a message saying i have to sign a paper saying i'm dissociating myself since when did it become more of a business than a spiritual manner.

i'm not signing any papers.

has this happened to anyone else?

Meg

Wow, I have heard of people writing letters in order to disassociate themselves but I have never heard of any being tracked down to sign some papers! I personally wouldn't sign anything.

P.S. - Welcome!!

A question for all women that were raised in the "truth"

by codeblue in

.

do you feel like you have low self esteem because of being raised as a jw?.

I would say Yes! Definently!! Being raised as a JW, means being ridiculed and made fun of your entire life! Going to school was an absolute nightmare! Being raised as a JW means not fitting in, being an outcast.

I would definently say that being raised as a JW has alot to do with my self esteem issues.

Thanks to everyone for the very warm welcome. I do beleive that I have come to the right place and am very excited about it! It is so nice to be surrounded by people who actually understand how I feel and what I am going through. It is so hard to explain to people who have never been a part of the "organization". I am very excited to here and look forward to gettting to know everyone!!
