  9-11-01: Your words five years ago

  by frozen one in

  i took a look back in the jwd archives and found the first thread (i think) on this board about the 9/11/01 attack.

  although i wasn't here to post that day, i found the thread to be an interesting read.

  the shock, the disbelief, the rumors, the sadness, the anger.

  I was that girl before,VERRRY scared of the elders. I was dating a "wordly" guy, and felt I was very much in love. I was so afraid of being DF and what my family would do. It was the JW that pretty much drove us apart. He tried to study, but disagreed with it so much. I am forever grateful he didn;t, because, I feel, had he indeed become JW, I would be stuck in it to this day. I did eventually find my own way out, and am married to someone else with a beautiful baby and another on the way. he is not who I thought I was going to end up with, but I wouldn'change a thing.

  I would have such a hard time paying attention if I was at home listening. You could be tuned in to JW and type away on JWD at the same time.

  If she grew up in the org, and has family in it, chances are the elders will win. Its alot to lose, and unless she is one tough girl, it may not go your way. Educate yourself on what she is being taught, but DON'T join. It is not worth it. If she really wants to be with you, she will listen to what you have to tell her, and she may free herself, but if not, move on...

  untitled document <!-- .style1 {font-family: verdana} .floatingtext { font-family: verdana; float: left; } --> watchtower arouses emotions how much of an affect did the organization have on you deciding to become one of.

  jehovah's witnesses or staying within the confines of the organization?.

  Big ole' emotional health issues. It made me obsessed with guilt. I felt so guilty all the time I could barely function. I still get guilty feelings that won't let up sometimes (for no reason mind you). I think my brother definitely has more issues than I do, because I have done alot more research. But as soon as I told my therapist I grew up JW he said.."OHHHH, that tells me alot right there".

  My brother used to hide cd's in the back of his picture frames on his wall. Pretty good hiding spot if you ask me.

  Gin Blossoms ( because it said Gin)

  Guns n' Roses (duh)

  Stone Temple Pilots (can't remember why)

  Nirvana (too grungy)

  Why would we want to fill our minds with "wordly" music when we can fill it with the glory that is Kingdom Melodies.

  I remember witnesses being all excited...thinking it was the end. I was horrified at work, when we had a few moments of silence for the ones that dies, and the JW there wouldn't participate, they just continued working while everyone, including customers bowed there heads in silence. After it was finished, one of the JW came over to me and said she noticed I participated in the moment of silence and I shouldnt have, and not to do it again if they had another one. What a loving group.
