  Why would you want to kill the org?

  by what_Truth? in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i know that there's a lot of people here who have been deeply hurt by the jehovah's witnesses (i have as well).

  i also know that the gb are a bunch of lying bastards.

  still i have also met a lot of people who have made their lives much better by becoming jehovah's witnesses.

  she is 3 and a half years old and came up with that excuse as to why she cannot wear pull-ups with her nightgown.

  How many of you were nervous?

  by Confusedgirl in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  if you are taught the jw organization is your link to god, it is so hard to think of leaving everything.

  like a hole that will not be filled again, there is so horrible things that have happened in the world, could it be that there is no everlasting life for us, so many questions and to think of giving up everyone makes me sick to my stomach.

  but i want to be happy and i'm not, does anyone feel empty?

  Diary of a nobody

  by New Worldly Translation in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  hi, i'm new to these forums so i thought i would share some experiences of when i was a jw.. i was born in 1976 into a staunch jw family.

  my grandparents, parents, aunties, uncles, cousins etc etc were all jw's going back to the 1950's.

  when i was a child my parents, like a lot of jw parents, didn't let me have worldly friends.

  ...is it ok?

  did you try to stop them?

  (please consider coming from a very conservative background/culture)..relatives/friends talking about it, possible trauma which may be caused by society's discrimination...

  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,.

  how should i handle them?

  by stopthepain in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  yesterday,i watched the football games at my parents house.my parents both went to the meeting.now everyone knows my stance about the religion,but out of respect,i try very hard not to talk about my feelings or discourage them,because that is pointless.. but peppered throughout the day waas comments on the meeting,how the watchtower on alchohol was good becuase unlike other religions jdubs "adress the problems at hand",how an annionted sister died and how she is now"up there talking with jehovah"ect ,ect ,ect.whenever these comments where said,i had all i could do but go off.. i guess i'm pissed because if i was to sayanything about my views on the society,it would be a huge fight ,ending in alot of hurt feelings,but they can talk about things that they believe,as if i somehow will see the light.. at one point ,my father was kind of ragging on the watchtower study about alchohol{he's a huge jw fencesitter } i replied with"don't say anything bad about the society dad" mockingly of course,and i said out loud.

  "i'll just keep my opinions to myself".even after i tried to show that i was uncomfortable with that topic ,it didn't stop them from bringing it up.. lately i'm really considering disassociating myself from the religion,for myself,but also to test my family.why should i have my name listed as a babtized jw(i was babtized at the all knowing age of 12}?why should they not talk to me even if i was disassosiated?is this a selfish thought?do i want to do that to see who my family loves more,me or the org?i can honestly say i don't care about my relationship with my family if they treated me different.they abandoned me once when i first left,but a few years after i left they softened.all you have in the world is yourself,ive learned that thusfar the hard way.. this religion is ,as far as i can tell,will always play a part in my life--------one way or another,whether i want it to or not.stp.

  p.s.thanks whoever runs this site,it has been a great outlet for me personally.also,all the members,thanks.even you bradley!
