  hardest conversation of my life

  by metaspy in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  moments ago, i talked to my mom.. i told her that i was taking some time off from going to meetings and service.. the conversation went down hill from there.. as her usual she just dismissed my reasons as if they meant nothing.. i pointed to the child molestations as my main reason for leaving.. "you are being over-sensitive", "jehovah takes care of things in his own time", "rely on jehovah".

  those were the catch phrases of the conversation.. a new one was: "what have you been reading?".

  i have a hard time standing up to my mother.

  You were really brave to have that conversation. It sounds like your mum uses classic emotional blackmail to make you feel bad.

  I really stuggle to stand up to my mum too, and invariably back down and let her have he own way, only occasionally I totally lose it and have a screaming fit at her, at which she goes all logical on me and makes me look like an hysterical fool (which of course I am being at that moment).

  Theres something about manipulating mums that means you can never win, and you always end up feeling wrecked. I got a book recomended by someone on this forum called "Toxic Parents". Its a really good book - naturally it didnt go down well when my mum found it!!! She was pretty acid about me reading it!

  When I mentioned these things to wife she said she would wait on Jehovah

  I remember using this reasoning for everything I disagreed with or didnt understand.

  Trouble is if its not your child who has been sexually abused its easy to 'wait on jehovah', but if it is your kid who has been abused waiting is just not good enough.

  Officially, Jehovah’s Witnesses oppose pedophilia

  But unofficially they ensure they have a steady stream of victims who are effectively prevented from complaining under the threat of disfellowshipping.

  Will the JW's get a new CEO???

  by horrible life in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when a team has a couple or more losing seasons, they fire the head coach.

  when a company starts losing money, the shareholders want a new ceo.

  when a company keeps making mistakes, and the ceo, is taking the company, in a direction that the shareholders don't agree with, they get a new ceo.

  Maybe god might put them all on a performance related pay scheme with bonuses for a good annual performance, and pay freezes for a poor year.

  Boy, they going to hell this year under that scheme!

  When YOU went out in the field service.....

  by JH in

  2. beliefs

  when you used to go in the field service, did you go out to have 2 more hours on your report, or did you really want to save somebody's life by preaching a message of salvation ?

  I hated field service, I really struggled with it, so naturally I pioneered!

  I couldnt have done it if I didnt think I was saving lives, but it was mainly about chasing hours, and I used to hate it if someone offered me a car ride to a RV, because it meant robbing me of an hours time (I used to walk or bus everywhere because I didnt have a car), and another hour on cold calling was much harder than an hour walking between RV's.

  It gave me a very low self worth and I had this mental image of myself as a dirty dish cloth being dragged round the streets (dunno where that came from but its how I felt).

  2. friends

  champagne bottles come in a variety of sizes and are given specific names.

  can anyone from the jwd brain trust suggest what the naming theme is?

  nabuchadnezzar (20 bottles) nebuchadnezzar, originally nabu-kudurri-usur meaning "nabu protect the boundary," became king of the chaldean empire in 604 bc.
