Not sure where to go from here
by sickofhurting inlooks like a good place to start, maybe you guys can help me figure out what to do with my extremly messed up family.
my family are either jws or were at some point.
im sure you can see why this leads to a completly disfunctional family.

What would it be like if I weren't brain washed for over 20 years?
by NiecyMe inhello...this is my first posting.
i heard about this web page from a friend that has a boyfriend that is trying to live life out of the clutches of jw's for the last 2 years.
i have found that even though i haven't been involved with jw's for about 10 years, thier nails run deep.

My apology to all
by bigmouth ini made the most awful mistake when i posted a comment about spelling and punctuation on the "bible research etc.." forum.
i learned that i can't just post comments about things when people are unaware of my sense of humour and my general nature.
i have spent the day in tears.

Another Newbie
by FadingAway ini've been reading this forum for a while and i felt it was time to post my experience.
i am very comforted when i read others experiences and how similar they are to mine, i don't feel alone.. anyway, i learned the truth in 97, got baptized in 98. all of sudden i was getting prvileges, parts on the ca and dc and had friends that seemed to care about me and i cared for them.
eventually the love started to cool off, the meetings felt like watching reruns of a bland tv show.

Without unons,there would be no middle class.Why can't the greedy NYC cry baby government give the people what they want.Without unions,you'd probably be working in a sweatshop.New Yorkers are the most self important bunch,they think there more important than everyone.GO transit workers.Sept 11 only can buy so much sympathy so that people have to get less than they deserve.

Is Jehovah Mentally Unstable?
by THE SHOOTIST ina friend of mine showed me as interesting scripture, ex.
4:24 that talks about jehovah showing up in person to kill moses, but was talked out of it by moses' wife because from what the bible says she circumcised her son and threw the foreskin at his feet.
she then called him a blood-smeared bridegroom, referring to the circumcision and the lord left him alone.

Are you Christmas-retarted?
by Thegoodgirl inhi guys, haven't posted in a while, but i don't see this topic covered: is anyone else out there as christmas retarted as me?
i feel so awkward stumbling over the words "merry christmas" to friends.

I'm afraid that unless I move and start a new life somewhere,christmas will always be tainted,and I remind me of years of emotional pain and isolation.It is a foriegn custom to me,except the whole drinking and eating part.Maybe next year it will be better.
