  by Gretchen956 in

  2. family

  first let me start off by saying i am very sick myself right now.

  i have a virus that settled in my nerves (very very painful and no it isn't herpes), and now two weeks in i caught a very bad upper respiritory bronchities.

  i spent my day in bed as i have been for most of two weeks now with no end in sight (dammit).. not trying for sympathy points, but this just isn't a good time for this!.

  How does Shunning feel?

  just curious as i had never really been a true jehovah witness.

  i would think that you make friends and suddenly you don't exist.

  i would think a board like this is a true godsend.

  Need some help....

  i would really appreciate if any could point me to some articles, books or commentaries that wouldn't necessarily be considered "apostate" that would help me compile a letter.

  i have been skipping around researching for about 1 yr and 1/2.

  i didn't necessarily stick to one thing...when something made sense, i moved on.

  Is there any way I can just “cream skim” the “Truth”????

  by HiddenQuestioner in

  i have been lurking for some time and only recently started to post if you have seen my posts, i have always represented myself as a loyal jw and one who is planning to stay in however, lately my faith and commitment as a jw has been tested and, without going into details, i am having problems of faith and life that i could really use some help on.

  if so, you might ask, why dont i just leave?

  well, i have a wife that is a very devout jw and she would be crushed and very upset if i quit she believes it all 100% and lives to worship the borg in fact, she would be very upset if she even knew i was visiting this site.

  How very humbling....

  by EC in

  2. friends

  i was never one to judge people.

  most of the time i felt so sorry for ones.

  however, looking back now, i remember times, especially in school where someone might have been really mean to me and i would think in my head "well, atleast i'm not goin to die!

  How do you choose......

  by EC in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was born and raised a jw.... right now i know i am still going through the deprogramming, but in the pit of my stomach i so want to believe in something.

  i don't know if it is because i always have had a regular "schedule" with god, but to leave and not believe anymore to me is very lonely.

  where do you start?
