  Lost

  by Puternut in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  feeling lost today.. it's the weekend, and i will be once again going home to an empty house, where my children won't be welcoming me home.

  i haven't seen or talked to them in a very long time.

  i won't be able to kiss their sweet faces, or hold them close to me, so i can tell them i love them.

  Puternut,

  I just had to reply to your post. It makes me so angry to hear stories like yours. I really feel for you, and hope that you find the strength to get through this hard time.

  I have two things I would like to share with you.

  1. My mum and dad divorced when I was young and for one reason or another I did not see my natural father for about 10 years. We are now back in touch and have a good relationship. Kids will search out truth and no matter what one parent says about another kids always want to find out for themselves ? so there is hope.
  2. When I was df?d my family were no longer allowed to speak to me. I lost my mum, step dad, 2 brothers, grandparents, aunts and cousins. At a family gathering for a member of the family who was not a JW, I was treated as an outcast in my own family. They all talk to me now, as they don?t really go along much to meetings themselves anymore. If I could one thing different I would have gone back to meetings, been reinstated and then allowed myself to drift away. I know that this seem to be a dishonest and underhand way of dealing with things, but we are dealing with a very devious organisation and we have to change tact accordingly.

  Your family are behind a wall at the moment and cannot see what is right and decent - instead of waiting for them to come out - you have to go get them.

  I know that there are many on this forum that would disagree with this tact but I would never loose my family again for anything.

  My thoughts are with you,

  Why I don't celebrate Easter. Warning: pity party going on in this thread

  by CeriseRose in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i think back to when i was a kid...a non-jw one.

  easter was the time of new dresses, chocolate bunnies (you had to bite the ears off first to make sure it was the solid kind), ham with the little cloves stuck right in it, and peaceful family time.. during my jw years i didn't 'celebrate' it, but it slowly but surely became a 'family' time.

  my flesh and blood sister (jw) and all my step family (non-jw) would congregate at the parents' place and we'd play games and eat and laugh.

  Cerise Rose,

  I am so sorry to hear your very sad story. I lost my Aunt who was like a second mum to me just 2 years ago and still feel the pain of that every day. I was lucky in that I had already left the JW's.

  How do we know this is it? Just because the JW's got it wrong does not mean there is something else to come. I am still searching for what I believe could be the truth about what is next for us - there are some really interesting theories out there.

  I wish you well in your healing,

  Went To The Quick Build

  I used to love going to the quick builds when I was still a JW. We had quite a few over a short space of time here in Scotland. So sad thinking back that not one of us understood how it was financed or whom it would really belong to - makes you feel very cheated.

  by Sassy in

  here i go.. out of posts again!!!

  so ironic that i can create a new topic but not post!

  i really think that sometimes the system must think some posts are so valuable that they count as two.. or maybe five..

  Kind regards

  THE BLAME GAME--need help with this

  by cyber-sista in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just commented on recent topic titled: who do you blame for the time you wasted as a dub?

  this questions got my brain tweaking in some different directions.

  some who i admire and respect the opinions of said that they no longer blame anyone and that blaming is a waste of energy.

  I too have trouble with this one cyber - sista; hope you find the answer to yours.

  For years I heard my mum tell the story of how she was searching for the truth and that only JW's had the answer - I believed this all the way and lived my life as the good little JW to the extent of pioneering for years. I figured that I trusted my mum and that if she said she searched then she searched.

  I look back at so many things I was not allowed to do, people I was not allowed to associate with and occasions not celebrated and for what? I look back and think about what could have been??.

  I eventually left and she was not allowed to speak to me for years. We speak now and in fact she herself has stopped going along, but was thinking of going back. I have been feeding her with what I am learning on this site in the hope that she may never go back. My dad on the other hand was always more tolerant still goes but has never been strong if you know what I mean. So his going makes no difference.

  So ? the blame ? I find it hard not to apportion some blame to my mum for getting involved in the first place, but blame the organisation for sucking her in and feeding her complete sh*t. It is the biggest money making racket in the world. They know what they are doing.

  These are all great! Here is one of my favourites at the moment: (you must hum along as you read it)

  PINK

  No attorneys to plead my case

  No opiates - to send me into outer space

  And my fingers are bejewelled

  With diamonds and gold but that ain?t

  Gonna help me now

  I?m trouble ? yeah trouble now

  I?m trouble y?all, I disturb my town

  I?m trouble ? yeah trouble now

  I?m trouble y?all, I got trouble in my town

  You think you?re right, but you were wrong

  You tried to take me, but I knew all along

  You can?t take me for a ride

  I?m not a fool now - so you better run and hide

  I?m trouble ? yeah trouble now

  I?m trouble y?all, I disturb my town

  I?m trouble ? yeah trouble now

  I?m trouble y?all, I got trouble in my town

  Naughty but nice
