  by Lady Lee in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  due to a problem with the server i was using for the maps i have had to move them so we can still have access to them and post them here.

  so if you were wondering where we are from.

  or how close you are to other jwd posters in your area just take a look.. ballistic has done an amazing job with the map of the uk you can find it at .

  i seriously cant stop thinking into things too much, does anyone know any good ways to stop over thinking?

  i just want to let myself go with what i want to do, not with what i think i should do, (this is all probably because of the way im used to thinking in the old days), is there a way you can stop yourself from thinking a way you dont want too?

  this probly makes no sense to anyone but i cant exspain it any better.

  What is the ONE word that describes you best?

  by In Between in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  was thinking about this today while heading' down the road and thought it might be a fun topic.

  if you break it down to the simplest degree, and i'm not necessarily talking about 'qualities' here ... but what one word, noun, adverb or adjective would you say describes you best?

  for me: passion

  i dont post too often but im always lurking from my workplace.

  but now i feel the need to ask for any advise from you guys.

  a while back, when i decided i had enough of the wt internal politics and the wait on jah attitude, i faded away from the hall and basically disappeared into the night.

  The way i look at it is that if you didnt tell her now she could have gone down the JW road for the next 20 years, and then finally figure it all out and it would be so much worse, all though this stage of her life will be tough for her (losing a loved one as well as finding out the real truth about the org both at the same time), i think it will make her alot stronger er when she pulls through it all. as for you trying to help her feel better and to help her pull through i think as long as you can be there for her when she needs to talk or when she needs a shoulder to cry on that is the most comforting thing. Dont worry it will all work out,

  Can you let go?

  by whyamihere in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as i was sitting in a restaurant with my friend briana(ex-jw), we started talking about how we see other ex-jw's inability to let go.

  i know many have suffered and endured horrific events or trials as jw's, which i assume it would be hard to let go.

  though, do we really have the ability to let go lead a normal life with not thinking twice or having fear in our actions?.

  i personally have completly let go of the org and the religeon, but the really hard part for me is the moral and mental side of it, because i was brought up in the JW religeon i am mentally moulded not to do or beleive in certain things, and i find it very difficult to let go of that, i feel as if i am never going to fit in certain areas, but i have accepted that, its all a learning curve i suppose.
