Some days I really hate having been a dub...
by Abaddon in
1. jw

... okay, this is a real glass-half-full day, in fact it's a glass-half-full of nothing falling into a pit of infinate depth day.. does anyone else have re-occuring getting-one's-shit-together problems?.

i can get a job, get promoted real quick, i'm reasonably smart, when motivated i can work other people into a physical decline.

yet i always hide from reality in some way; chiefly financial.

Spoke my mind ...
by Vivamus in
1. jw
2. experiences
well now, the lesson i learn today is that it feels *good* to speak your mind.

i entered in a battle of will and principles with a person who has none of those, and i came out feeling victorious.

no matter the consequences, no matter the financial loss, self-respect and the moral high ground have been saved for me.

Did you ever save anyones life?
by dh in
1. jw
2. friends
if so, was it a stranger or was it someone you knew, and how did the relationship develop afterward?

i did once, a friend who was drowning, after the incident the friendship totally deteriorated and now whenever i think about it, i wonder why i bothered, it's difficult watching someone drown, especially when they shout your name instead of help.

anyway, anyone got any experiences to share?.

1. jw

being brought up in the borg since birth, i beleived everything my parents taught me and showed me, i looked up to them, they were my heroes in life.. now, i look back, they lied to me, cheated me, mislead me, did not look out for my best interests, and abadonned me when i needed them the most,.

i have nothing good to say about them (or my brothers and sisters), like to tie them both to a tree and ----- them.

they are very stupid people.. i'm sure i will wrestle with this the rest of my life.. thanks so much watchtower bible and tract society !!!!!!!!!!

He is not quiting the cult
by kls in
1. jw
2. friends
i had high hopes my cult husband was finding his way out of the cult .i asked on a thread what youre thoughts were on him missing meetings.

i still don't know why he missed them but it doesn't matter he went back.

i know you are supposed to be kind and not fight when they leave but it just came out of my mouth.
