  seeking help

  by stopthepain in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have never sought out proffesional help.i guess the way i am is part of that stubborn old school mentality of"i don't need any help".i think i can fight through alot of my feelings.as a raised,insecure,unhappy,negative ex jw child,do members on this forum think someone such as myself should seek psycological help(even if yes,why?

  )why can't i fully move on?does just vocalizing these issues help?.

  i know the answer,but i'm afraid to deal with it.i guess i'm just having a bad day.i'm glad i have this meesage board .youve all been great,sorry to bother with my pitifull emotions,.

  so i got home from a long day of work yesterday, and decided i was gonna go to the bar and chill out for a little while.

  so i'm sitting around talking to some other people i knew, when all of a sudden i see an ex-jw friend walk in.

  now he was never great association, but my parents just told me how he was doing so well spiritually in our monthly "why don't you come back to the hall" conversation.

  by mamas in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was recently disfellowshipped for being in a same sex relationship with a female.

  i understand that it is against bible standards but i do not agree with disfellowshipping in that everyone including my family has nothing to do with me.

  i am 18 years old.

  by londoner in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am not posting this to justify my actions, i am doing so for the benifit of any witnesses who are unsure about there feelings toward the "truth".

  i was a reguler pioneer for about 8 yrs, back when it was 100 hours a month, befor thet i did a couple of yrs as a vacation pioneer, they later changed the name to auxilery pioneer, and during the following 20 yrs i had a few intermitant spells as an auxilery when i had time to.

  during my pioneer years i have given talks at circuit assemblies and had assignments at district assemblies .

  Was Johnny Carson pro JW?

  by HappyDad in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does anyone remember one of his shows from the late 1970's when john denver was on the show?

  i never saw the show but heard about it in the jw circle (urban legend??).

  it was known that john denver hated jw's and during their bantering, carson asked denver about his asking jw's to leave during his concerts.

  Is there a difference between a "wrong expectation" and a "false prophecy"?

  by booker-t in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as many of you posters know by now that my mom has been a devout jw for 40 years and just cannot accept the fact that i am no longer a jw and feel that i am being deceived by apostates and will be destroyed at armaggeddon.

  well the other day we had another knock down debate about "false prophecies" and the wts.

  my mom insist that the wts are not false prophets but merely had many "wrong expectations" the same as other bible writers and disciples of christ.
