It always made me rather sad. XD
I used to listen to those tapes so religiously...I could talk along with them. Haha.

by frogginator inhey, just thought i'd do a quick intro, share some song lyrics that have spoken to me, and then have a look around.
my name's erin/froggi, and i've been disfellowshipped for 4 years, since i was 19 years old.
i was raised a jw, and my homelife was actually quite idyllic, typical 50s sitcom stuff, like the cleavers.

Haha, that's actually exactly what I thought when someone mentioned a plague of frogs. Then I wondered what the heck was so bad about frogs. That always made me sad in my tape-drama about the 10 plagues. Poor frogs getting baked in the bread. :(
Please excuse me. I'm slightly buzzed right now. :D

Thank you, yes, it has helped. My problem right now is that I don't even know half of what's going on in my mind. Clinical depression runs in my family, and I got it bad, and ever since I was df'd, I've been completely flat emotion unless I'm on meds, but I hate being on meds because it seems like a band-aid solution. I've been pondering therapy lately, but I'm really broke. Eh. I just don't know how to even express what I feel, except that my whole young life was WASTED, 18 years, and I had absolutely no choice in the matter. I feel like I've been brainwashed, and that's not a nice feeling. Sort of makes me sick when I read things on these sites and I remember the articles and how I agreed with them before (though I've never shunned a disfellowshipped person...I was talking to one girl in the store, and she was like "oh no, are you baptized? you know I'm disfellowshipped right?!" and I was like "Yeah. Eh. Here's my number.") but...I dunno. It all sounds so different now.

Yup! It's just changing and using Internet Explorer instead. Hah. Ah well. I always feel so stupid when I go to a new forum.

Thanks for the welcome. It's taken me so long to actually be able to think of seeking out other people who are ex-JWs, and I still feel guilty about it! Agh.

Hey, just thought I'd do a quick intro, share some song lyrics that have spoken to me, and then have a look around.
My name's Erin/froggi, and I've been disfellowshipped for 4 years, since I was 19 years old. I'm 23 now. I was raised a JW, and my homelife was actually quite idyllic, typical 50s sitcom stuff, like the Cleavers. Stay-at-home mom, great extended family, father who had a temper issue but never took it out on us, let alone anyone. When I was 19 I met a guy named Eric, and fell for him, after having been engaged to a JW, who ended up dumping me a month before the wedding (it was hell having to hear my dad call everyone we'd sent invitations to and tell them it was cancelled), only...Eric wasn't a JW. So I got df'd for fornication, which I am still not repentant for to this day, even though I'm no longer with him.
So, this whole time, I've written the whole deal off as nothing bad, though having finally steeled my courage to read such 'apostate' literature online over the past few days, I've started to realize that I don't need to have been abused or had exceptionally horrible experiences while still in the congregation in order to be traumatized by it now. I've really been craving talking to others in my situation.
I also thought I'd share some lyrics that really fit how I've felt since my disfellowshipping:
