Aw purps! I"m soo sorry you are feeling bad. I think you have a good therapist, though. Keep going and let us know of any new insights you learn.
I always appreciate your posts. You are encouraging and openminded, not mean and oppinionated. You have a lot to offer, so don't sell yourself short.
I am considering therapy myself. I really think I need expert help to unravel 47 years of indoctination. We definitly need the help and support of others.
one thing that i hear regularly is that once an individual is d-effed they are visited once a year by elders to see where they stand.
in 8 years i have not had one visit, and they know where i live.
is this how the elders are supposed to be?
As was already mentioned, yes, the elders are instructed to attempt yearly visits. They probably are selective though, they might not visit known apostates.
Quandry: I'm sorry your daughter was mistreated. I hope she is feeling stronger now.
since i've been on jwd for a year, i thought i'd post about changes in my life.
and can you believe it: despite turning my back on the org, i haven't turned into a drug-addicted, alcoholic, crack ho .
in my first post, i still identified myself as a liberal jw.
Good for you!
just had a buddy up to the ranch.this is his story:.....a friend of mine saw his dog with a dead animal in his mouth covered in dirt..it was a dead bunny..not any dead bunny..this was the nieghbours family pet bunny..my friend was shocked and didn`t know what to do.he knew the nieghbours would get very upset that his dog had killed their pet bunny..the nieghbours weren`t home right now,so he came up with a plan..he cleaned the dirt off of the dead bunny and put it back in it`s pen and hurried home..a little while later,the nieghbours came home..a few days later my friend and his nieghbour had a chat..the nieghbour was angry and upset..the nieghbour said:"last week our family pet bunny died.the kids were upset and cried.so me and the mrs thought we`d have a funeral for the bunny with the kids and give it a nice burial..well,a few days ago,some sick bastard dug the bunny out of the grave and put it in it`s pen."..lol!

Actually, that story is funny!
i found this video of a young girl giving her first talk at a hall.
i thought she did a pretty good job of it.
she seems really smart.
I bet they never thought their video would end up on a site like this one!
i would love to here anyone elses, here's mine i thought i would relay to you.... .
i decided to go to college after my disfellowshipping to get an education and while there i worked as a part time bar man.
i used to work in quite a smokey atmosphere, probably for a year or two.. one day, i was at the laundry and a girl next to me lit a cigarette and i remember trying desperately to breath the fumes in and what a relief it was to get a fix on my night off, even though all this time i had turned down cigarettes when offered.. thursday night was student night at the local night club and i used to go down there with a friend from work and a few others and one week we all pilled back to mine which wasn't far.
Gald you quit! Keep up the good work!
The bits and pieces of blood the Society says are OK. Or, the bits and pieces of blood the Sociaty used to say were not OK (NO blood or blood pruducts), and you may have been disfellowshipped for accepting and may have died for not accepting.
