have any of you found that it's more difficult to have normal relationships after you've left?
i seem to know a lot of ex-jw's (myself included) who tend to fall into these co-dependent relationships.
it's almost like we're trying to replace the control and turmoil of the wt w/ a bad relationship....lol.

Definately. Had a disastrous one when I decided to leave. Was like I was trying to replace the organsation with him. He ran, and I don't blame him.
We've since caught up, sorted stuff out and are great friends again.
I've decided to swear off all romantic relationships for at least 12 months.
i am a 48 year old good looking fart.
i am moving to maui, but not alone, octavia is moving with me.
she is a gorgeous woman, we are free spirits, we embrace the world with confidence.
Glad things are getting better for you. Hope your world contunues to shine.
i sent an email to my only brother that i have in my family.
he lives in the netherlands: .
dear henk, .
Puternut,
What a nice letter.
Who knows you may be on a roll, your daughters ans then your brother. Keeping everything crossed for you.
Lehaa.
lets tell a lil about ourselves... me?
well i live in the houston area of texas.
im 17 and raised in the truth, my dad is a ms in the congregation, and i run the literature room.
is it wrong to have doubt?
No not at all. I think it's wrong to ignore your doubts. You need to sort things out for yourself. You need to do what you think is right for yourself.
I know this site will help but don't be too swayed by what others think, you need to make decisions for yourself on certain topics.
I agree what Cassie says though you need to be cafreul about how much personal information you post here as there are spys.
I think that this is a great thread and that teenagers need to get togehter and talk freely about what they believe and their doubts.
Welcome and I hope you find something to help you here.

ok new idea, was thinking of sharting a hi low post at the end of every week.. the idea came from the move "the story of us" starring bruce willis and michelle pfeiffer.. for all who have not seen the movie, at the end of every day they sit at the dinner table with there kids and all have to tell the rest on the family the high (good thing that happened for the day) and their low ( bad or dissapointing thing that happened for the week).
it can bee as silly or as serious as you want.. just and idea, will trial it for a few weeks and see how it goes.. .
my high: it's now school holidays here, have my kids home for 2 weeks, no more early starts and fighting to get the kids into bed on time.
oh well not such a good Idea.won't be posting it nexrt week
Sorry for this coment, was feeling really down when I posted it. Feeling much better today.
