  do you feel that you are still bitter towards jw's?

  or do you feel that you are better off without them?

  maybe you feel both bitter and better?.

  Fun with Shunners ;)

  by damselfly in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i used to try and avoid running into jw's after i was first d/f, but the past few years i have taken a different spin on it.

  at my old job as a cashier if i was the only cash open then they had no choice but to have me wait on them.

  the apprehension on their faces as they approaached was hysterical.

  Social Skills..... or lack thereof

  by damselfly in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have come to the realization that i have very poor to non-existent social skills.

  i have become so scared of rejection ( i wonder why?

  ) that i only let people get so close and only reveal select personal information after literally years of knowing someone.sometimes when i'm out in public and see someone i know, if they haven't seen me yet i will try and avoid them.

  Smurf away

  by damselfly in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as a wee damselfly in the late 70's/early 80's i loved the smurfs!

  i watched the show and had the coloring book and the little plastic figures.

  then some jw kid had a nightmare, it was taken as demonism and my smurfs were taken away!

  although i do not have any plans to immerse myself in religion in the near future, i am curious as to which version of the bible would be recommended by fellow posters?

  and why do you prefer other others?.

  Not recongnizing family

  by damselfly in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been out if the jw's since i was 18 and i moved clear across the country.

  i moved back into my hometown around 3 years later, and promptly got kicked when i was down by the jc ( who lied about their reasoning.. but that is a different thread entirely!!!!).

  so needless to say i no longer have a family of any kind.last night i was in the grocery store and noticed that a woman was passing by with her cart and sort of half smiling / half sad looking at me.

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'll start by saying a big hello!

  to everyone on the board, i wish i had known about it when i was still a teenager in the religion.

  what i am curious about is the jw view on people getting therapy for mental/emotional disorders.
