  generally, were you treated with respect, kindness and empathy or did the elders treat you badly?

  ?

  They were nice to me, like fathers. But then again, I was "The Good Girl."

  And the one that was closest to me wouldn't come to my non-JW wedding.

  How embarassing...

  imagine starting a topic and hardly anyone replies.

  and you have to keep bumping yourself to the top because of either your ego or passion for the topic.. unc did a number on this a couple of days ago but it was too subtle.

  (unlike him).. i have no passion for this topic.

  yesterday after school i had to go work on a project with friends.

  mom said be home by 5, but there was a huge accident a mile from where i live, and i sat on the road for like 10 - 12 minutes, and was 5 minutes late getting home.

  mom was there (didn't go to work- guess why) and she was pissed.

  Anyone here thinking of seperating or other major life change?

  right now i am in a bit of a turning point in my world and was wondering if anyone else is there or had been there and would like to chit chat.

  i guess i am feeling that if these difficult decision and transitions are shared with others that understand they might be a bit easier to live through.

  Letter to Mom (for your review)

  by ringo5 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  no this isn't really an "outing " letter, but it might make her think.

  she already knows i'm not going to meetings, and we've had discussions about the possible extent of the flood , so she knows i'm on the edge .

  which is probably why she picks out articles in the watchtower and sends them to me.

  You're bolder than I am, and I personally wouldn't send it. I prefer to let sleeping dogs lie, but that's just me.

  The only points I ever bring up is that when mom mentions stuff about different ones in the hall being mean, or treating her bad, I just say, "see, that's just not showing love." Then when she sighs about "this old world" and things I may be going through, I remind her that the JWs are no better and no different than "the world".

  But that's just me.

  I think of all you guys here on JWD!

  But other than that, I feel sad for them, lives wasting away under intense pressure, and never getting a "reward" for it.

  So, why did I meet with the elders?

  by lola28 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is my explanation as to why i met with the elders today.

  when i agreed to meet with the elders last week i had made up my mind to just go in and be honest with them.

  i was going to tell the elders that i no longer believed this to be the truth, and then i was just going to walk away.

  Lola, That's very sweet. Hey, you did what you thought was right for you, Meaning not hurting the feelings of those who tried to help you in the way they thought was best. So I personally thing that's very sweet. And ain't that the beauty of being out? Making up decisions based on YOUR reasoning and logic, and not someone else's?

  WOW. Lady Lee I just want you to know how powerful it is that you shared your story. It's amazing how similar we all are, but don't really ever know it. Thanks, I'm definetly going to keep that empowering story in the back of my mind.

  Cabin, that's so tough. I like it that he knows where you stand. Too bad you are "stuck" for a little time. You can always vent here.
