Then the Amerindians would not have been disturbed, slavery may not have reached the proportion it had, and freedom of religion may not be possible. Also, Europe would be terribly crowded!
What if King Henry the VIII had only one wife?

I knew a CO in my circuit who was removed and df'd. His wife had been sick for a long time, so her female friend would help out. Well, in time, this female friend began to help the CO....sexually.
The next CO in our circuit reminded me of a fascist. One day, he visited my parents' house. My dad was at work, though, so my mom was stuck with him and his wife all by herself. The reason for his visit, supposedly, was because my dad was not a believer and my mom was an irregular publisher. Well, while he visited, he looked around the house and said: "nice house, what does your husband do for a living?" After my mom answered him, he repeated "well, nice house". My mom blurted out "thanks; it was designed by a woman.". My mom doesn't know why she felt the need to disclose that, but she said the look on his face was priceless.
This same CO was in my car group one day out in service. He asked the other brother in the car what he did for a living. "when will you retire?", the CO asked. The brother said "not for a few years, my daughter wants to go to college.". The CO and his wife dropped their jaws. I couldn't believe they had the nerve to respond that way. Did they have kids? NOOOOO. Did they have to make a living in the world?. NOOOOOO. And they had the nerve to judge a person? Why, yeeesss.
I'm feeling angry again....maybe I should stop here.

Think about it...we are special
by findingme inwhen we were an active jw, we thought we were special, right?
we felt we had the holy spirit, truth, and the priviledge of preaching.
we drew a lot of attention from others because we were...different (special, unique, whatever).

Steve:
Thank you for your comments. The more I read words like the ones you have written, the better I feel. You are so right about the "unresolved issues" after so many years. I was to the point where I wouldn't pursue any goals, thinking to myself "what's the point? I'm going to die for being disfellowshipped anyway. I'm an awful person for not wanting to return to being a JW. I don't deserve to be happy". What a wrong attitude that was.
Time is a good healer, but relating to other people has helped me more. My immediate family left JW the same time I was disfellowshipped. We find ourselves talking about it a great deal; it's obvious we still have those "unresolved issues". However, I have talked with a more positve note since I found this site; I want it to help my family like it helps me. I want them to get past those guilty feelings and go on with their lives. Everyone, no matter where they've been or what they've done, deserve to do that.
I found this site by accident just a couple of weeks ago. It has helped me already. I hope I can help others, too.

Dear Lovin,
Reading your post effected me; it feel angry inside for what you are going through. I brought me back to my JW days when I, too, possessed a limited mind. To think I used to leave my disassociated sister out of the family loop.....still makes me want to kick myself.
I guess I am fortunate now. My family left the organization the same time I was disfellowshipped. I almost wonder if they used my situation as an excuse to disassociate themselves. We are much closer family now.
I'm so sorry, Lovin. You deserve much better treatment.

Did You Feel "Safe" Being A Jehovah's Witness???
by minimus ini think many people remain as jws because they feel an isolation that spells security for them.
they enjoy being in their protected bubble.
the realization that they never have to make any real decisions is appealing.

Interesting question! I remember trying to live "by the book" in every aspect of life. Doing so was a good excuse to avoid responsibility. Then, one day, I peek out from my shell and discovered I really did have my own brain and feelings. I could "think" and "feel" all by myself!
