  if i told you that something bigger is on the horizon than dateline, bbc, cbc, sunday (australia), and all other tv programs which exposed the sexual child abuse cover-up by watchtower in 2002-2003, would you believe me?

  have i ever misled you?

  i'll answer that--no!

  My mother's meltdown

  by sass_my_frass in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  okay, another self-indulgent post from sass about my mother.

  this one's a keeper, it's today's cellphone text war.

  a bit of background; she's had the book study moved from her place as her conscience doesn't permit her to have it there while she's still in contact with me, her disfellowshipped daughter.

  Another newbie

  by jessthebull in

  2. friends

  i just wanted to introduce myself, i have been lurking around for a while reading posts and identifying with so many of the experiences within them.

  i have only stopped going to the meetings in the last year and it is only in the last couple of months that i have really started to research this "religion" that has been such a huge part of my life.

  i dont live at home any more but am still in regular contact with my jw family and one or two friends.

  What Did YOU Give Up For The "Truth"???

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  did you forfeit a college education, a great paying job which would've kept you from the meetings, a career, a trade, your loved ones, a vacation, etc.

  so that you could be a good little witness?

  Huge shock!

  by Crumpet in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just got a major shock.

  i can't believe the new levels of cruelty possible within families who are jws.. a friend on this board who i've known since i was a baby practically has managed to get me a picture of my little sister who i haven't seen for 8 years - the one who i've mentioned my dad said was working on the bethel quick build team.

  the one who i've described my fears that she and my younger sister are staying single until armageddon.

  Nowhere else to go

  by joelbear in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there is really nowhere else for me to post about what goes on inside me.

  i know that my problems aren't all because i was a witness.

  the agony in my mind has led me to a psychiatrist.. he has diagnosed me with cyclothymic mood disorder, a milder form.
