my younger sister is coming out for a visit tomorrow.

we keep it a secret from the rest of the family because i am disfellowshipped and she's not supposed to be hanging with me.

we are just recently becoming closer as she is beginning to have her doubts about the borg, and is currently on "public reproof" status.

My younger sister is coming out for a visit tomorrow. We keep it a secret from the rest of the family because I am disfellowshipped and she's not supposed to be hanging with me. We are just recently becoming closer as she is beginning to have her doubts about the Borg, and is currently on "Public Reproof" status. I don't know if I should help her in her transition by encouraging her to leave the Troof, or wait patiently and hope she makes the right descision on her own. She just turned 21 and drinks like Nick Nolte on vacation. She also has a serious potty mouth on her. She displays the exact same signs as I did when I was getting ready to leave. I can tell she is really struggling with this. I don't know her very well because I was df'd 14 years ago when she was 7 years old. I would like nothing more than to see her break free from the WTS, but am a little apprehensive to encourage her to do so because I don't want to lose what relationship with her that we have built so far. Any Ideas?

I LOST IT ... my JW rant today

well, i just couldn't hold it in anymore.. today, i exploded, talking to my mother about the family inheritance and how i am being screwed.. i told her i had been so angry lately, and just had to tell her what i was thinking, because the anger was slipping out at times, and i was making snide anti-jw comments .... which is not my way.

i'm usually quite direct.. i told her that i couldn't take being treated like a piece of dog you-know-what on the bottom of someone's shoe any longer.. that in the past couple of years, i had learned so much filth about the jws that i was getting more and more disgusted day by day.. i started shouting ... there is nothing wrong with me!!!

why do i have to be shunned when they hide child molesters???.

Cool indeed. I love celtic lore. Have you ever read any Morgan Llewellyn? She wrote a book called "Bard" that you would probably like if you havn't read it allready.

Nevertheless Tal, I hope you feel better soon. ((((((Talesin)))))).

BTW, is your screen name connected to the ancient celtic bard of legend, Taliesin?

Geez Tale,

I'll bet you probably feel a little better now? My grandma called me up not too long ago and gave this guilt song and dance about how I am making the rest of the family depressed because they wont see me in paradise and how my sisters grew up and I wasn't there to see it, and all this other bullshit until I exploded and went off very much in the same way you did. I basically asked her what in my right mind would make me go back to something that just made me miserable in the first place. I told her how much happier and healthier and more stable I am now than I ever was when I was a Witness. I gave her the example of my dad who suffers from depression so badly that he can't even get out of bed. This was followed by a string of pitiful excuses defending the WTS and I told her that I would NEVER, EVER, EVER come back. She told me that I was as good as dead. Nice huh. I did, however, feel purged and much lighter after this. I hope you feel better too.

Best Wishes,

-Breck

i just had it happen for the second time in 3 years, today.

the first one wasn't that bad, because the guy didn't scare me.

the one today...i think might really try.

Who's the best actor working in movies today?

ian mckellan?

morgan freeman?

I think Gary Oldman deserves some props. Johnny Depp, Ian McKellan, John Hurt, Russell Crowe are all very talented too. Don't forget Daniel Day-Lewis.

Trouble explaining my life story to my boyfriend of almost 2 years

by findingmyway in

well, the time has come to explain my former jw life to my boyfriend of almost 2 years.

he's getting a bit tired of being there for me during my meltdowns and not knowing or fully understanding why i am having a meltdown.

i can no longer explain it as pms...he knows me too well now.

Low-Key Lysmith

Maybe you should have him read this thread and others like it. People who have not been through what we have tend to have a really hard time understanding what's going on. It doesn't make any sense to them. My girlfriend went to my mom's JW funeral with me last year and was shocked and disgusted by the whole thing. She is supportive of me and tries her best to figure it out, but she grew up in a nurturing, loving, NORMAL family. She cannot comprehend how parents can just turn off their love for their children. She does understand that it causes me a lot of pain sometimes, and she is there for me. It sounds like your boyfriend is trying to help you too.
