JWs and Multiple Personality Disorder

by Illuminated in

i remember the first time i was hit with my loves cult personality.

knowing the real him, my jaw dropped witnessing this switch.

i thought he had lost it.

Multiple Personality Disorder or MPD is no longer the term used with this dissociative diagnosis. The current term is Dissociative Identity Disorder. There are specific criteria for this diagnosis which is usually a result of severe traumatic event to a small child dealing with abuse that is physical and sexual for a sustained period of time. Though it is a condition that can cause pain and suffering for those that suffer from it, often a survivor with a good therapy program with qualified professional and sometimes with pharmocological support of a psychiatirst, healing will occur thru the integration of these pained "personalities" back into their whole personlity. Many can and will go on to lead happy and fulfilling lives especially if they are not faced with having to deal with their abuser. I don't beleive the Jehovah cult personality is DID or Dissociative Identity Disorder. Although a DID patient can have a separate personality within the others that splits off and becomes the "JW" part, with specifc issues and triggers that can exasperate and bring out this part of them.

Called on a DF'd person today.

by kairos in

wow, what a surprise that was!.

i expected a warm welcome, as this was someone i have known for a very long time.. nope, uber disfellowshipped jw.

totally caught me off guard.

My son was like this when he was Df'd after leaving Bethel. All he wanted was to get back into his "community". And Frankly, as we were devout JW's at that time also, this is what we wanted too. I think his being disfellowshipped was the trigger for my own spiral downward into seeing the TTATT. It was not the main reason. But his experience through this and finally being re-instated, then the other issues over the child molestation crap is what made me open my eyes to the WT. But yes, I have known uber disfellowshipped ones who think you should shun them. One thing, though is we refused to shun our son. No matter what threats came at us from the "brothers". They wanted us to kick him out of our home, and we refused. Yep, He was our son, and this was the start of me beginning to realize how much my family needed to free ourselves from this religion. I could go on and on but, will not. Your post just brought up some memories.:)

Obama and Muslims

by Shanagirl1 in

in audacity of hope he writes: i will stand with the muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.

the quote comes from page 261 of the paperback edition of the audacity of hope.. he couildn't march in solidarity.

yesterday the "political winds shift" happened.

Shanagirl1

Village Idiot - You are quoting from a website dedicated to labeling Allen West as Right Wing. That's like WT labeling people who oppose their views as Apostates. Allen West has his own website, and though he's conservative, he is not a right wing extremist. You Obamappologists like to name anyone against Obama as "Right Wing" and that is not true. It's a label you use.

wallowindawn, Um I think it was Sir82 that said Obama is Kenyan, not me.

Isle of Lewis, which quote are you talking about? If I was wrong about any quote I am willing to admit this.

Sir82 is the one who brought up Obama being Kenyan

Obviously there are a lot of Obamappologists on this forum.

Obama should have the same guts the Egyptian president had when calling upon Muslims to handle the jihadist problem in their Mosques. And by the way, I watch all News programs, exept MSNBC. BBC CNN local, and yes I do like watching Fox news also. Also I read Allen West's website.http://allenbwest.com/2014/08/cultural-jihad-cair-demands-us-overhaul-law-enforcement-training/

Simon, you can say all you want " Benghazi is really old and done" but as we saw in Paris last week, it is not "really old and done" People are still being slaughtered by these Islamic Extremist Terrorists for publishing ideas and pictures that expose them and their evil acts of barbarism. Same story different stage. Obama must be somehow tied to Islam when he and the rest of his administration won't say RADICAL ISLAMISTS OR MUSLIM EXTREMISTS.

In “Audacity of Hope” he writes: “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” The quote comes from page 261 of the paperback edition of “The Audacity of Hope.

He couildn't march in solidarity. Yesterday the "political winds shift" happened. For how long?

The POS had nothing planned yesterday. John Kerry was in India. Eric Holder was in Paris doing something. Joe Biden wasn't there. Obama was watching the games while probably still in his PJs. There was NOTHING on the Potus's schedule.

We might as well realize we don't have a leader/POTUS.

He also uttered these words before the UN after the Benghazi video fiasco.

"future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam."

Sounds to me like Obama sympathizes with Jihadists. He had the audacity to utter these words before the UN over the Benghazi video. It's sicikening to think about him in his position as the POTUS

What is the biggest regret or source of resentment because of being a Jehovahs Witness?

by stuckinarut2 in

i'm sure we could all write long paragraphs about this question, but in a few words, what is your biggest regret, or frustration in life due to being a witness?.

what missed opportunities did it cost you?

.

Shanagirl1

The Biggest Source of my regret and source of resentment against those WT freaks was that I trusted them, and cared about them. i did trust them so much co that it never once occured to me in my mind that a close family member was a pedophile and molesting my baby daugher that went on for years before she came to me to tell me what he was doing to her. He had also been molesting other congregation children and some of his own child family members as well as "worldly" neigbor children. As a mother I will always regret this happened up until the day she told me when at that poin i told her she was very brave to come and tell me, and I would never allow him to come near her again and she is not to blam for what he did. I regret that I had no concept this could happen in the truth and the believeing the elders when they told us "we were the only ones" and Jehovah was bringing it out thru us. I regret I didn't know at the time there were victims and pedophiles throughout the religion that loved blaming other churches for pedophile priests, and pastors. Of course JW's added a new slant to the pedophile clergy. They un like the preiests were incestuous too.
