  The Unkindest Cut: Hateful Words from JWs that Show Their True Colours

  by Scully in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i decided to start this topic when ozziepost shared the experience of a bethel representative telling him and mrs. ozzie "and don't forget, we've got your children!

  it's important for us to hear these experiences and to share them with each other.

  it helps us tear down the mistaken beliefs that the incidents that happen to us are not isolated ones, but are in fact par for the course when one parts ways with the jws and wts.

  after leaving the jws did you have any vivid or significant dreams that involved them, elders, cos, or r&f?

  did you try to resolve outstanding issues with them in these dreams?

  i love my cats as if they were my own children.

  i was there when they were born and even cut one of the umbilical cords.

  How stressed were you as a JW?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i don't know about you guys, but it stressed me alot to be a jw.. i never did like talking in public, in front of a group, or going door to door.. gee, i hated the tms meeting.

  the moment i knew that i had a talk, i became nervous and often i had a hard time sleeping.

  just knowing that i had to talk for 5 minutes in front of the whole congrgation got me nervous weeks ahead of time.

  what did you do with your literature when you left?

  i burned my literature except for the wt cd which i sold on ebay.

  i did not want to just throw the literature away as i did not want the trash man to read it and become a witness.

  Do you feel 'Disconnected' since leaving the borg?

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i mean - many of us had a history that was exclusively in the 'truth'.

  nothing else.. now having left, do you long for a discussion with some who share your past culture, understandings, and lifestyle?.

  is that the 'appeal' of this board to many?

  FREELOADER PIONEER SISTER USING MY STUFF BUT I GET YELLED AT!

  by stillAwitness in

  2. friends

  my mom's got this pioneer sister friend who stays at our house every weekend (she stays in some remote town that's far away from the hall) and i go into my bathroom cabinet this morning and she used up half the bottle of daily oil control cream for my face i had in there.

  i mean ladies, you already know how expensive those things are!

  and i would always just use a pint size amount so the bottle was filled to capacity.

  'witness-speak" means i figure out who he is pretty quick.i have to ask who the silent guy is and then invite them in for coffee and a sit down.

  "no" i say,"my wifes not here but she'll be back in about 10 mins.
