  Inappropriate "shepherding" calls.

  by avishai in

  2. friends

  how many have recieved calls by the elders that were under the guise of "shepherding", but somehow inappropriate, i.e, you were a woman alone with only one elder showing up, or you felt physically intimidated by both.

  or say they show up at like, 10:30 at night for a shepherding call.

  and you say "hey, i appreciate the visit but please call first!

  seeking help

  by stopthepain in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have never sought out proffesional help.i guess the way i am is part of that stubborn old school mentality of"i don't need any help".i think i can fight through alot of my feelings.as a raised,insecure,unhappy,negative ex jw child,do members on this forum think someone such as myself should seek psycological help(even if yes,why?

  )why can't i fully move on?does just vocalizing these issues help?.

  i know the answer,but i'm afraid to deal with it.i guess i'm just having a bad day.i'm glad i have this meesage board .youve all been great,sorry to bother with my pitifull emotions,.

  Am I doing what's needed??

  2. friends

  this question would seem funny to non-jw's - but i bet some of you x-jw's will understand.. i look at the world around me and see so much need.

  i look at my own life and see so much blessings and wealth.

  i give to charity - but i always think - "is it enough?

  i met an ex-witness at the mall last week, and she told me that she recently divorced her husband.

  both were witnesses for over 20 years.

  i was surprised to hear that they were divorced.
