  DFed, more positive or negative?

  by Sheepish in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  just musing.... from the vantage point of being "out", it seems to me that being dfed would be really, really painful, but ultimately a good thing.

  (i was shunned by my family when i finally left though, so i know a little of what a dfed person goes through, although i didn't put myself through going back to meetings and being shunned) .

  i was publicly reproved, and was not allowed to answer in meetings, but i was not shunned.

  not what they expected; moms with postpartum depression overwhelmed with feelings of guilt, worthlessness.

  okay, y'all, get out your experiences, thinking caps, and remedies.

  jennie is 11 (will be 12 in october).

  this year she has started to show all of the classic signs of puberty, and a couple of weeks ago had cramps about the same time as my cycle.

  Elder Condemned Me to Death

  by Grace in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been thinking about this because of another post where the question asks have any of us ever been blackmailed to stay in the watchtower organization.. no, i won't say i was blackmailed; however, after i wrote my note of disassociation, the congregation overseer wanted to visit me in my home with two other elders.

  i repeatedly said no, that i would not allow them to chastise me in my own home.

  therefore, all of my conversations were over the phone with the overseer.

  Philosophy - is it worth the bother?

  by Abaddon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i fully admit to only having dabbled in the waters of philosophy up to now.

  i kept on being put off by the smell... .

  having said that, is there anyone more clued up than me about the subject who can tell me anything that might make me change my mind?.

  Mind Numbing stupidity are some current JW's that are on this board.

  by skyman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have had a rash of jws on this board leaving comments in my inbox telling me how mislead i am.

  but what amazes me not one of them yet will analyze the facts with me.

  a real discussion means nothing to them.
