  ANYONE KNOW A GOOD THERAPIST?

  by tresbella in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  o.k, so i have major issues people.

  issues with my low-self esteem, issues with my previous abusive relationship that i once blamed on the fact that i deserved for sinning,while dating a non wiittness.

  issues with the control the society has had on me and the control they instilled onto my parents to have on me way before i even knew better and i was wondering if anyone knew of any sites or possible online therapists that specialize in helping former jw's or people like me who are still young and live at home and so therefore have no choice but to live that "double life.

  POST YOUR REALLY HARD JW QUESTIONS HERE SO I CAN CALL BRANCH

  by tresbella in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i plan to call up the branch office and pose as an 'interested one' and ask a bunch of difficult questions i am almost positive no jw witness will be able to ansewr.

  1. if the supposed "light is getting brighter" then does that not mean that it is possile that many of the teachings that the society is teaching now may be false such as blood transfusions and the 1914 teaching?

  2. since any witness who speaks against the wt and refutes one of their teachings and is therefore disfellowshipped for it, what if the very teaching that they spoke against turned out to be wrong later on?

  BRAINWASHING ON BLOOD ISSUE FROM SUNDAY'S WT

  by tresbella in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  its funny how when you are someone who has grown up a jw you take everything you read in the wt and awakes as fact.

  you are never taught to discern or analyze what you read.

  and when the society speaks of 'doing research is always in the bond volumes or other lit.

  ON A PERSONAL NOTE

  by tresbella in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  does anyone think it is wrong to still be a 'wittness' on the outside in order to ensure their family's love and support even though they know inside their living the "double life" i mean i want my family at my wedding and help me buy my first apartment.

  i think certain familllies cannot bear the idea of one of their own "falling from the truth" (so it goes) so its a secret i hide.

  but my long time boyfriend says i should tell my family how i really feel when we become engaged (he's not a wittness) in the future.

  BAPTIZED WITTNESS W/QUESTIONS

  by tresbella in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am a 20 year old baptized wittness who for the past year has been trying to do some serious reserach on all the things i have been made to believe in the wt society.it only makes sense that my research should not only include those in the wt publications and so therefore i need some help:

  1. what is everyone's thoughts on society not allowing brothers to wear beards?

  i read somewhere that russel(society's first prez) had a beard and the second pres( russel) wanted to completely dissassosiate anything having to do with russel and so therefore outlawed against them.

  WT COUNSEL ON ABUSED ONES

  by tresbella in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is it me or does the watchtower always give the counsel to tell the elders or someone in the congregation when one is being physically abused by her husband.

  would not the first thing to do is go to the police?

  or are we in fear of bringing "reproach on jehovah's name?
