i have told my new therapist so much about jwd, some of the insightful comments here, and how much it has helped me and other dubs that we both now wonder if there are other jw help sites.

i really don't know as this was the first and only one i ever found, and it was just what i needed.. he has pegged me well as impatient, and knows i was vocal about my wake-up from jw.

his advice right now is to back off totally on trying to help any others, and i have told him that many here have said no one will wake-up until they want to for some reason.

My only thought is that your therapist is trying to get you to slow down and I agree with that. Nothing needs to be decided immediately and especially with so much at stake, take your time. We or maybe it's just me....usually make our worst decisions based on a whim or a rash moment when we think we just can't take status quot anymore. I know I've regretted it every time I've done that and I hope you heed these words, they are the wisest words I have to offer.

Rome wasn't built in a day!

Therapy requires so much of you and you do best when you require little of yourself, by this I mean just relax, take it all in like a sponge but don't wring yourself out trying to make things happen. Trust the process and be patient!

This might be a good time to learn Guided Imagery and find your quiet place so you can meditate and calm yourself. When you are calm you will be better able to make good decisions.

As far as the meetings are concerned you might give it a try if you don't think it would be sending confusing messages to your wife. As a woman I hated wishy-washy thinking on my husbands part. Either $#!+t or get off the pot! You really need congruency in your life not confusion.

Do you condemn the Society's no-blood policy and still do not DONATE BLOOD?

by nicolaou in

it's your decision to make.

it would be as wrong of this community to insist everyone donate blood as it is of the cult to insist otherwise.

.

bikerchic

I'm against their policy and I donated blood so far once....it wasn't a good experience for me but I am willing to give it another try when I can free up my schedule and take a week off to recoup after donating, sigh. I am a universal donor and they keep calling me to give!! I would like to but the after affects I just can't deal with at a moments notice.

A Jewish President?

by nvrgnbk in

jw
friends

i want to thank a christian for the a mormon president?

thread that inspired this one.. so, what do you think?.

what would you think about a jewish prez?.

bikerchic

Personally, if we had a Jewish president the only thing I'd want to know is where does he get his bagels so I can get some too!

That and maybe the promise of a bagel in every tummy!

My only thought about a Jewish President is would he/she control the people's money (our hard earned tax dollars!) as tightly as he/she controls his/her purse strings? If so yay!

I've worked for way too may Jewish employers, sigh.

Yes, It's Been Awhile, How Have You All Been?

greetings my fellow jwd posters.

yes, it's been quite some time since i've graced the on-line pages here.. i think like many people, you get in here "hot & heavy" so-to-speak, and then after awhile, you either grow tired of it; frustrated and well, peoples' reasons to leave or 'take a break' are as long as a roll of charmin (not great for writing on mind you).. quite frankly, i didn't think i'd find myself posting here.

but after a couple of years; the occasional browsing of topics and to see how a few members were doing, i don't mind opening up the door once again periodically and add my two cents worth.. there looks to be many newbies, hell.....i don't even recognize 1/10th of the people posting on here.
