  we plan to get married in the kh in the autumn.

  It really makes me sick, all that pressure put upon young people trying to fight off a natural urge. If you dont wed in the hall everyone knows something happened so you have to lie in order to get a kingdom hall wedding.

  Looking back I know the first part of my adult life was effected by the severe control and suggestion, and I married very young as a result of the immense pressure that I felt. Eventually my wife and I fessed up to it along with some other things we'd carried all those years, I know it affected our relationship, living with guilt - reinforced by constant propagander from meetings. Its great to be free of that feeling now.

  Just wanted to add a warm welcome!

  It is so hard when you seem to lose everything, but look at what you have gained too - you have become what you want to be, no longer in the shadow of your family, now able to choose what you want to do. What you face is something to replace what you no longer have, you have experienced a grieving as though someone has died to you, but time is a great healer. You have come here no doubt to try and understand whats happened to you. Before long your confidence will grow and you can make a new life with new friends who love you for you - not what they want you to be. It has the possibility of becoming your happiest time because you can find yourself and learn who you are, no longer do you need to nurture the guilt that you do when in the borg.

  Good luck in your new life, make it happen

  A wonderful person

  i havn't posted for a little while having gone back into a lurking mode, for no other reason that i've not had any opinion or thought to post recently.. but i felt i wanted to do an update on a post i did about some valentine flowers i received.

  i discovered who this lady was and despite still having a lack of self worth (like thinking why would this beautiful woman be interested in me) i plucked up the courage to speak to her and we hit it off from the get go.

  she is such a gentle, warm and kind person - in fact it brings a tear to my eye just thinking about her lovely qualities.

She is such a gentle, warm and kind person - in fact it brings a tear to my eye just thinking about her lovely qualities. We both have some baggage that we carry with us into a new relationship so right from the start we wern't afraid to say and discuss any potential issue's, this culminating in my admiting my lack of confidence and my past experience as a JW and then life after walking away from it and how it affected me. Although I deffinately feel a have turned a significant corner about that part of my life recently, I still tend towards a slight negative view of myself. Part of me wonders if some of that has to do with a lack of a close mate that I can pour my heart out to and have a bit of a 'pep' talk with, but in any case this wonderful person I have met has been like a refreshing tonic, I feel an incredible boost by having her around me and I know it has awakened in me a desire to give of myself in order to meet her hopes and desires as she has me.

  So there you have it I just wanted to share my joy over this happening.

  Take care all

  UK & IRELAND MAP

  by ballistic in

  2. friends

  i had an idea that i could build a uk map of everyones location which would show you instantly who is in your area from jwd.. (it might be an idea to do a seperate us one aswell but i'll wait and see if this one takes off first, or if anyone from the us wants to volunteer to do that one).

  (and australia but you are all in the same backyard anyway - literally!!!).

  anyway, all you have to do is post or email me your username and town and i will draw you on the map above which will change gradually to include everyone!.

  It was great to see Dr Who back through childrens eyes - namely my young daughters who couldn't get enough of the episode's. They were genuinely scared at certain points. Bit of a shame that Chistopher Eclestone had to give it up so soon, but David Tennant is a very good replacement having seen the xmas special. Good to see other sci fi/fantasy fans out there!

  Currently on ITV4 in the uk on sundays at 7pm is one of my all time favourite sci fi fave's as a kid...Space 1999 - its so very good I love it.

  for the DF'd: did you confess or were you ratted out?

  by kid-A in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  looking back at the 10 or so cases of disfellowshipping i recall, i think only 1 was due to the orwellian borg spy system.

  he was ratted out.. all the other cases were actually "confessions" by people that otherwise would have gotten away with it.

  i am wondering is these percentages.

  I think once one case of wrong doing is discovered, it often opens the door on other matters. For instance myself and my then wife and our friends were all brought before a JD because once one thing came out it linked to another person and the whole deck of cards came down. On that occasion only my friends wife got DF, the rest of us were reproved

  Did you "cry" when the JW's elders Disfellowshipped or Disassociated you?

  by booker-t in

  my niece who is 19 and involved with a "married" man had to meet with her jw's elders last week.

  she was terrified because the elders have told her time and time again to get rid of her "married" boyfriend but she refused.

  she is head over heels in love with the guy.

  No...but, another time I was in a JD where I got reproved, I literally broke down in tears over something because I felt so guilty. It was something that had been with me for over half my life and had made me feel so low and wrong, and when it came out I was so upset because of all the sins I had done and confessed that was the one I didnt know how to stop.

  It was really one of the first things that I began to disagree with the society over and from there on I discovered much more, that by the time I was DF I really didnt care for these power hungry people. I refused to meet them and heard on the grapevine that I was DF.

  I have to say for years I hadnt cried and when my first daughter was born it changed me, I am now very emotional and can have a tear in my eye when I watch movies for example

  i never did like wearing a ring, or anything around my neck.. i have an ordinary timex 30$ watch, and that's enough for me.

  i like it simple for me anyways.... how about you?

  I've had two rings but just didn't get on with them so prefer not to these days. As for watches - yes I like them, though currently i'm using my (home strap repaired) £5 digital one. Its quite good in that it has a blue light to see in the dark and seems water proof! My ultimate watch is an Omega Seamaster.
