Ok, i am ready to come out to ex jw friends.

I have recently registered on facebook and have been in touch with some friends i haven't seen for years.

I have always been reluctant to post any pics of me on ex jw public forums or give away too much personal information. For the simple fact that i am a fader, rather than d'fed. I have to take my believing family into consideration. But at the same time i have got to know a number of ex jw's over the years and would like to keep the contact.

But if anyone who knows me on here would like to contact me through facebook please feel free to PM me and i will give you my details!

I find it insulting that JW's equate being a good parent to being a JW.

How many times did we hear from the platform that to be a good parent we must provide the spiritual nourishment as well as the physical. This they go on to say means bring them to the meetings, take them out on service, give them bible studies, etc. etc. What a load of BS.

I personally was so frowned upon as being a bad parent when i was fading. I even had one elder tell me that i needed to start being a good father. As i had only just started to fade at the time i didn't have the balls to stand up to the bloke.

It infuriates me to think that these people stand so judgemental on the parenting skills of those who choose not to follow this bastard of a religion.

Finally given in - going to have counselling!

by dobbie in

jw
friends

went to the docs today, have finally accepted that i need help getting over (or accepting) some of the huge guilt i have for things in the past.

i persuaded hubby to have it last yr and it has helped him so much that i am going to try it.

am very nervous as not one to talk about things with strangers but if it gets good results and makes me (and then my family) happy then it is worth it.

I have started to attend AA this year and find it really helpful to talk in a group about problems that i have been having. Initially it had to do with drinking, but now that i do not drink and neither do many in AA, it is good therapy to talk about anything that is on our minds.

Pakistani Governor urged military forces to defend the nation's sovereignty

by hamilcarr in

after at least 20 civilians were killed by isaf forces in pakistan's north west frontier province:.

i have already raised the issue of repeated predator attacks with the federal govt, the governor said adding, this is a direct assault on the sovereignty of pakistan and the people expect that the armed forces of pakistan would rise to defend the sovereignty of the country and give a befitting reply to all such attacks.

such attacks, he added hurt the pro-govt and peaceful sentiments among the people of targeted areas.

I don't understand your point. What do you mean by "tragic irony"?

Whats the Craziest thing you've heard a JW blame Satan for????

by superman in

jw
friends

as most of you know, that evil spirit creature known as satan the devil is of course after jw's and only jw's.

i can remember this middle aged lady at my old hall give a comment on how "satan works in the most mysterious ways against jehovah's people, he even has the teachers give out more homework on meetings nights so that he can make it more difficult for the young ones to attend the meetings".

at that time i was hardcore in it, and even thought this lady is a "looney-tune".

I put up a fence for a sister when i was 19 years old. I hadn't got a clue what i was doing, the fence was 150 feet long and i had never nailed two pieces of wood together before. Anyway after a week of almost completion we had a storm, most of the fence blew over. I went around to their house. Her husband who wasn't a witness was not very happy to say the least, i was embarassed trying to make my excuses. He went off in a rage and we decided to part company, they would get the professionals in.

As i was going she said, "Satan does give us these trials doesn't he?". I agreed, it was much easier to blame Satan than my own shoddy workmanship.
