THE SHAME IS ON "YOU" DANSK!!!

by Aikon in

jw

hi dansk.

i have read your commet on the subject "shame on you".. what you have seem to forgot is your family????

yes if you was not like a "bull in a china shop" you would have stopped and looked at the situation to ensure your daughter were not left behind in the w/t.. but what did you do?

If I had waited to leave when I had all my family with me, I would have died in the JW religion. I would have been unhappy with no life and no future. I would have let myself down and my children who love me, not to mention my Dad (who is not JW). I would have watched my life go by trying to get the family left in there. They would have only looked on me as a poor, poor spiritually weak person in the congregation who will never progress, because they would sense how unhappy I was. Would that do any good???? If they care to join me in the free world, I will welcome them with open arms. I will never regret leaving them behind. You only live once and it's up to you to make yourself happy, even if it means leaving behind your family in that cult....

Love or Hate Field Service

by XBEHERE in

jw
friends

how many of you went out in the field because you had to or because you wanted to?

if because you had to, how did you feel while doing it?

just curious.

I hated going out in service. After I'd knock on the door, I'd hope that nobody would answer. I even left right away, so they wouldn't get the chance to come. I hated trying to answer questions that I was never prepared to answer. I hated weekends because you were expected to go out with the groups. I always wished I could stay home and work around the house or garden without the guilt trip. If you didn't show up, someone would always ask "where were you yesterday, we all had such a wonderful time"!

does anyone out there now wear a cross or would you still feel guilty wearing one?

Strawberryfieldsforever

I remember years ago when a program at the assembly said we were to destroy music which was bad for the youth to listen too. My Mom got rid of alot of my beatles albums.......... But!!! Now I have them all. Sorry for getting off the track about the cross. Forgive me?

Good question! I always wanted to wear a cross and after I left the JW's, I still felt quilty. But now I don't believe in God anymore. What would be the purpose?

How much sleep do you need?

by Maverick in

friends

if y-all check the time stamp on a lot of my posts you will see i post very early and rather late in the day.

i only need four to five hours of sleep unless i'm not feeling well or i really busted my butt working on a remodel.

even when i am on holiday i like to get up early and do something!

Strawberryfieldsforever

I need 8 hours for sure. I get up at 4:30 a.m. to get ready to drive the school bus. I have a really long route out in the middle of the boondocks!!! I also have to take a nap or I'll be dead for the afternoon route. Why do I do this???

DO YOU FIND.......................

by Dansk in

jw
friends

that you are reading a lot more since exiting the borg?.

i've had as many as five books on the go all at once - all of a spiritual nature.

i'm currently reading the wheel of life and death by philip kapleau.. claire takes a book to bed with her every night (something i can't do - i just can't read in bed).. some of you might like fiction or biographies, etc., but i love to read anything on buddhism (although one of my books is by a christian cleric).

Strawberryfieldsforever

I read much more after leaving the JW's. I used to feel guilty about not finishing my WT and Awake mags. I hated reading them. They were sooooo boring! Now I love to read novels. Mary Higgins Clark is one of my favorite authors and John Grisham. I can read for hours at night!
