I had the same kind of thing happen to me the other day, just at the sight of two of them. They were in a small General Store. I could feel my blood pressure go up, and my heart started racing. I too was disappointed in myself for that.

Just where's is that Jehovah when you need him most? Seems to me he shoulda been watching out for his sheep who has no business being out peddling magazines at that age. (IMO)

How Dysfunctional A Witness Were You?

by minimus in

reading posters' comments help me to see that since leaving "the organization", many have gotten emotionally better.

of course, you don't have to be a witness to have dysfunction but feeling the pressure of always being told that we are inferior, that we're not doing enough, can get to the best of us!

looking back, how dysfunctional were you??

I was never dysfunctional, but I am dismembered

Circuit Overseer Complains Of Recieving HATE MAIL!

by minimus in

jw

the co visited my mom this week with 2 elders and told her that she must continue forgiving persons that might hurt her.

he then went on to explain that he gets "hate mail" from various witnesses when he leaves their congregations.

he chalks it up to their being discouraged but admitted it does bother him......have you ever heard of such a thing?

Dismembered

Greetings Min,

he gets "hate mail" from various Witnesses

That's what he gets for playing Moses, and the Apistol Paul. He should be glad he doesn't get a swift kick in the ass.

crazy thouhgts you have when you wake up

by becca1 in

this morning before getting up, i let my mind wander as i often do, and i started thinking about the movie the village.

i was thinking that it would be possible to set up such a lifestyle if one had access to a remote spot and friends who were of like mind.. then my mind wandered even farther and i thought that adam and eve (if they even existed) were basically in such a situation.

they were like a sociology experiment.

Greetings becca1,

If you think your thougts are "crazy". I'd like to add to the madness. I wonder what the first thing Adam said to Eve when he saw her for the first time?

Sharing Your new light with your Parents

by pratt1 in

every so often i get to share some of my thooughts about the borg and my new found beliefs with my mom , who is a die hard pioneer for over 20 years.. we actually have had decent conversations about doctrines and interpertations of the scriptures, and she has admitted that at times the borg may have misapplied certain scriptures over the years.. her excuse is that imperfect men sometimes make mistakes and jehovah makes allowances for this.. but what really gets her upset is when i bring up certain aspects of my childhood, that because of her belief in the borg, she made some unwise decisions for not only me be her family.. me getting baptized at 13, her not being fully supportive of higher education, cutting off family members, pushing me into an early marriage when i was clearly not ready, teaching me that all "worldly people', including my father woiuld die at armageddon, these are just a few examples that when we discuss them, she becomes extremely angry and then accuses me of making her out to be a bad mother.. i got me thinking, do you think that many dubs refuse to acknowledge the problems with their religion because it would mean that they made some really bad decsions in their and their families lives.. are they afraid to accept the responsiblity for this because of the guilt they would suffer?.

what are your thoughts?

Greetings pratt1,

she becomes extremely angry and then accuses me of making her out to be a bad mother.

What you've done there is trip her watchtower GFCI. Many dubs now realize that what they stood for years ago has changed. (higher education and the like)

I got me thinking, do you think that many dubs refuse to acknowledge the problems with their religion because it would mean that they made some really bad decsions in their and their families lives.
Are they afraid to accept the responsiblity for this because of the guilt they would suffer?

Absolutley 100%
