The Reason ex-JWs Don't Communicate Well With Others

by StAnn in

i've been giving this a lot of thought.

i'm thinking that, as a born-in, i was raised thinking that everybody who wasn't a dub was stupid and i had to go door-to-door to enlighten them.

and that the ones who were so stupid and stubborn as to not respond to my message (which was all of them, lol!

I can understand what the original poster said. Growing up in the truth you are taught to look down your nose at worldly people. Even "worldly" converts were to be mistrusted. I still have this kinda attitude 17 years after leaving. For some reason I bond with other ex jws a lot easier than I do with "worldly" people out here in the world. In fact my closest friends are ex-jws but they're not necessarily my best friends.. Strange. I wish I could change that behaviour.

Give me a reason not to have an affair/one night stand

i am extremely close to having an affair.

let me give you some details.. been married for 8 years.

not had any relations for 7. faded 3 years ago.. in middle of getting divorced.

Devilsnok

I've done the dirty deed and believe me its not worth the guilt and the trouble.

If your marrage really is over, if you really are getting a divorce then you're a free spirit and I dont see a problem. However if this other woman is attached in anyway shape or form to anyone else, I'd run a mile.

What kind of difference has JWD made in your life?

by JimmyPage in

i feel fortunate that there is already a built-in online community i can go to where people can relate to having been a jw and where it's okay to express your true feelings about that.

i'm thinking it must have been much more difficult a decade ago.

so what kind of impact has this website had on your life?

I was pretty much over the teachings of the org when i found this place, so theres no need for me to take blue pills.

I came here looking for people like myself - and got burnt lol

I was kinda guilty of putting witnesses on pedestals and looking down on the worldly people around me out here in the real world. Coming here taught me one thing, witnesses can be just as bad and in many ways worse than worldly people.

Golden Age editor gets voice box removed due to smoking!

by Witness 007 in

golden age 10/25 1933 p.57 "infeebled constitutions, inherited from fashionable mothers, cannot stand up under tobbaco...".

yes only weak, momma's boys,don't smoke!

good medical advice?

Devilsnok

G.A 2/10 1926 p.310 "Air baths are good for preventing colds...what you do is strip naked in the morning and bob up and down for awhile."

Its a shame I didn't know this when I was in the truth, it would have been excellent to show all those hypocondriac sisters that were always moaning about how ill they were.

What difference has JWD made to my life?

It made it a nightmare.

I came across an ex sister on here that needed help, so I got involved. Only she wasn’t just looking for answers to her troubled JW past she was also looking to find someone that would help her escape from her dead relationship with her partner.

I fell for it hook line and sinker. I fell in love with a player and boy did she play me. A year and a half later in order to save my own relationship and my sanity I had to leave London to get away from her. I had to change all my Email addresses, my phone numbers and removed any online profiles i had, so that she couldn't contact me. Because I was no longer living in London I could no longer care for my elderly grandmother, so she was put into a home where she died

As a result of getting involved with that sister, someone (either her or her pissed off bf) contacted my elders to tell them what a naughty boy i’d been since fading, which resulted in me being chased by elders from my old hall and me having to D.A before I was D.F’D

Had I not found JWD I’d still be living happily in London, I’d have all my old mates that I lost when I moved and my grandmother might still be alive. I’d have never had fallen in love with a player and never have had to have gone through the pain of losing her, over and over again.

If I could turn back time, I’d have never typed “Jehovah’s witnesses” into Google and found myself here.
