  hi everyone

  i was wondering what the watchtower thought about first aid courses as i've just completed a course run by st john's ambulance and when i told my friend who is an active jw she didn't seem too impressed.

  It might have some thing to do with the name St. John's, they associate it with religion

  i hadn't seen ladylee posting the last few days - it's not like her to leave without letting us know that she's going away, and i was getting worried, so i called her this morning.. she called me back... she's fine, but her computer is not.

  it had a major crash a few days ago, and she's been trying to get it up and running ever since.. let's make sure she knows that she's missed!

  Did You Lead A "Double Life"?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  i believe jehovah's witnesses are trained to learn how to live a double life.

  we were trained to use subterfuge with teachers, the law, doctors and the courts.

  we were trained in "theocratic strategy" .

  hi,ummm ive just discovered this site and im not sure why im even writing this but im at rockbottom and i dont know how feel,maybe im just searching to find someone who might understand and help me understand because i feel so alone and ashamed,confused and sad,even people might find me bad because of how these events turned...but im not bad inside,ive always been such a soft caring person at heart,im a good person just always been lost,alone and confused....ill try not babble too much but from the beggining dad was here one minute,not the next and then not at all,to this day still never bothers,mum remarried when i was about 4,this was the guy who sexually abused me at 7,{mum never knew},they had a baby together...i found my brother dead in his cot,he died from cotdeath,and it was just all downhill from there with my life,that was after my brother i was abused by him....they split when i was around 8 and i guess my mum looking back now on it now just went on her own mission but it wasnt easy for me,she fell for another guy and we moved from one place to the next,every time i started a new school and made friends,it was time pack up and go and start all over.....

  mum settled again and remarried a third time when i was around 12,id started a new high school,maybe its just those teens but i went off the rails with mum,i was terrible,didnt mean to be,but i blamed her for all my hurt and life and id rebel at everything,drinking started,running away started and i just wish now i could have felt close when alls i wanted was to love and be loved back...the next bit until now{im 25 now} is what is killing more than ever and id very much appreciate your thoughts because im lower than ever and still scared....mum is very much here in my life now...its only been a few months but shes heartbroken and the love and understanding has been tremendous off her,she blames herself but i blame me.....

  when i started the new highschool i met this girl,she became my friend at the time and it was so good to have a friend id do anything she said....anyway she needed some money once and said i know this guy you can come to with me and he will pay you to touch your boobs,thats when it started i agreed because if i said no then shed probably laughed at me,so i went....,it sounds strange{he was nearly 50} but he was very very nice,and said i dont like the person whos brought you up here,shes nasty...,i hated him touch me but i was scared....but at same time i felt i could really trust him,me and this girl never did stay friends....theres another big big part in all of this,but from 13 this guy became the bestest friend i ever had in my whole life,but everything was a big secret,its lasted years...he had an hold over me,though i knew he was supposed be my friend i knew he musnt really be one else he wouldnt put me through the torture of crying and not coping when i had my baby...my babe is 8now but still when i let him touch my boobs so i can buy the best part of my life something nice or take him somewhere that man would buy bigger and better and undermine all my hurt....

  Welcome Linzlou24. First of all god does not hate you even though he might hate your conduct. We are all sinners and many of us have committed some serious sins. But we are forgiven of them through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Hang in there things will get better and bad memories will fade.

  Never never never admit it if so. Everybody and his brother will know about it. If asked , yes I would lie to the elders it is none of their business.

  do you know of any jw's elder that committed adultery but still remained as an elder?

  do you think that the other elders swept it under the carpet?

  Not an elder but my brother got caught doing the P.O.s daughter who was married. Neither one of them even got a public reproof. It was hushed up.

  basically in my life i have a handful of relatives that are still in.

  my mother and sister, my in-laws and my sister-in-law.

  over the last ten years of our exit, they have actually been pretty supportive of our decision.

  If Witnesses had new light not to shun anymore....

  by JH in

  2. friends

  if the witnesses received orders not to shun df'd ones anymore, would you want to talk to them, or would you shun them in return, just like they shunned you, just to show them how it felt like.

  I would not shun my daughters, I would welcome them with open arms. If it is wrong for them to shun it is equally wrong for me. Two wrongs do not make a right. Other then family members I do'nt care if they ever speak to me.

  Yes. there were many with emotional problems. Some sisters even married illiterate men and former drug users who's minds were fried and had retarded kids with them. There were lots of wackos.
