WOW! I never realized the bitterness that some have towards being truly shunned. I fell that way too...but at least my parents are fairly liberal JW's and my Mom says nothing could stop her from calling me all the time because 'I am her son' that made me feel better.

It is amazing that the teachings indoctrinate JW's so much that they really do believe that jeehovah will detroy any who are not part of the society.....df's da'd etc...

One [also DF'd] friend of mine said to me " it's actually worse than a life sentence in prison to be df'd....you actually get less time for murder in Canada"

He's been out 20 years, to my 1.5 years and I'm ashamed I ever shunned him....but that's just what I did. Anyway when we meet up now it's like I never stopped seeing him...we have some laughs, good times, except he still cheats at cards.

Sorry...off topic. It is sad that the society still chooses to print this type of drivel. All it does is cause pain, more family divisions, and generally promoted hatred.

before certain posters leap to their feet and dribble spittle down their forelocks, i do not think this man insane as i have actually seen seventy year old men on bicycles drive through the streets of paris at this speed while smoking the draft papers of president bush rolled up tightly in dick's cheney... hs .

Hilary......that's the same speed that I drive my 911 Porsche Cabrio down to my office in Vancouver, BC Canada. It's always better in the very early morning!

This just tears too deep into my gut...

by Van Gogh in

as i am struggling with maintaining my own sanity and very fundaments of existence after recently swiftly cutting all ties with with whatever i held to be dear, sacred and true, for what will have been most of my life...; .

after learning about some disturbing developments in someone else's life, i reconnected with somebody from my past through the amazing internet again, telling i had left for ever and for good.

this is a former elder, somebody i considered to be very successful in life... despite the borg.

JapanBoy

VG....I'm going through the same thing now.....actually since I was DF'd in 02.2005. Just hang in there and wait things out. Next month I will be divorced from a very beautiful woman who was my wife since 1979. My kids will not see me anymore but I do get the odd email or telephone call. I think that in time everything will improve in my life so I hope yu can have that attitude too. If you ever need anything PM me and I will try my best to give good advice.

Keep strong.

Did you ever do this to pass the time during the talks?

by free2beme in

jw
friends

you get a new bible, and as you opened it, you notice that the pages all stuck together in these onion skin thin pages.

so you start separating them, with that crack snip and then separated sound.

that was fun, let me do another, i wonder if i could get through all of genesis before this guy finishes his talk.

JapanBoy

me and my wife would do the nasty note writing too....funny thing she's still very much in the borg. I also used to work on the ads for my retail business while running the sound system yawn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JapanBoy

FRESH OFF THE PRESS.... 9/1/06 WT "When a Loved One Leaves Jeh."

this just in for your reading displeasure......enjoy

JapanBoy

Can anyone who even know a little about the borg believe any of this anymore. I too picture my Mother coming at me with this article soon to show me the error of my ways. The most sickening part of the drivel from Brok-land is the part about Jehovah's 'arrangements'.....I doubt any God would actually saction the cutting off and purposeful shunning of any one of our family members. This sucks but that for the most 'dis-pleasurable' read. YUK!time to finish the rest of my kokanee [canuck speek for beer]

Why did you choose your USER NAME?

by In Between in

jw
friends

i think some people actually use part of their real name.

i chose mine because i really feel 'in between', in that space where your not a jw anymore but really haven't figured out where you are in life and what path you want to take.

just thought it would be an interesting topic.

JapanBoy

I chose mine because I've travelled to Japan 18 times and speak Japanese, enough to get along in a business conversation. The Avatar ws just the only asian thing I had on my computer at the time.

coping after being df'd

by JapanBoy in

i am a total newbie to this forum i was df'd in feb 2005 and ever since then have had problems to varying degrees.

i sometimes just can't notivate myself at work and feel empty and almost hollow.

it's as if i've lost something that i will never somehow seem to regain.

JapanBoy

Thanks for all the kind words and encouragement. No I don't reall want to get back with my wife. She is a dyed in the wool JW and will not change. I even asked her would she leave the religion for me? after one full minutes silence her answer was 'I don't' know. My real problem is that I miss my two kids dearly [daugher 21 and son 17 both still at home living with my wife. I am living with another women who really seems to love me but I vacilate sometimes, kind of whistfully thinking back to the old times....of course my wife says 'it's when you left the truuuuuthhhhh, that's when it all started to go wrong.'

I am seeing a very good pchych right now who has help me very much, but as was said before just writing about these things is sometimes good for the soul.

Many Thanks K

Ted Jaracz a molester?

by Confession in

i've seen little bites about this for over a year.

i understand that somewhere there is a video in which a woman named pat garza publicly accuses wts governing body member ted jaracz of having molested her as a child.

does anyone have this video?

JapanBoy

Actually this is the first time that I've ever heard any rumour like this, wannaexit. Another poster asked is he mean? Never came accross that way to me...but he is the head of this evil cult that has ruined many aspects of my life so I don't put trust in him.
