  I'll never step into a KH again, unless it's for the wedding or funeral of a family member.

  I feel sorry for her husband; he's studying

  Maybe he'll read the letters and realise what's really going on.

  So you were good enough to be her friend when she was alone, but now she's back in the fold, you are abandoned.

  That's heartless! I'm sorry.

  Still, I'd keep the pictures.

  i just read the nov 15, wt - what a laugh.. so they admit some leave over their teachings and then they say there's no where else to go.

  what a joke - they are liars.. .

  was it a problem with a teaching?.

  i found this forum a couple of years ago and at the time it was a real eye-opener.

  i could never express how good it felt to look at my life as a jw by writing it out here.

  i remember ver welcoming and encouraging comments from some members which actually got me in tears...

  End of days indoctrination

  ok this is like the first new topic i have added in .. forever ..

  it would seem that despite all of the research i have done in the past that i have this unshakable fear of this economic crisis fulfilling bible prophecy.

  i thought that i had worked through all of these demons, i thought that this was a past nightmare that would no longer effect me.

  we have these feelings because we had been cut off from the rest of the world and forced to work in fear of death.

  And that's where the WTS bears a huge load of responsibility. It shouldn't be that way - we shouldn't feel cut off. I felt somewhat liberated when I realised "the truth" is not the truth. Before that I just felt like I was a bad person.

  I guess this is a part of me that I might have to deal with on and off for the rest of my life

  Don't assume that. You are young and can change the pathways of your thinking. You've probably changed them a lot already. How you feel is a reflection of how you think and what you are thinking about.

  I know how you feel. I kept going to meetings knowing it was rubbish because I didn't want to hurt my parents. But then I got to the point I couldn't do it anymore. So I told them. It was the hardest thing I ever did. But they got used to it and it's much better.

  Parents are smart - your mum probably suspects you're not going.

  Hi Mel,

  Happy Birthday!

  No, there hasn't been a change, JWs are as unreasonable as ever. Your mum sounds sweet. I'd say just tell her you're not going to meetings. She'll get used to it.
