  Self-rightous witnesses? no......

  by mariposa in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was thinking about how i left "the truth" yesterday and got to wondering about the couple of sisters who were directly involved in the beginning of the end for me.

  i know it was because of things they personally did to me that led me to believe witnesses were not "a lovable brotherhood".

  and i know, they know of the things they did as well.. so here's the thing, i bet they don't feel the least bit guilty or even bad about it.

  even if you say you're not a believer in "god", if something bad was happening, would you ever give it a shot, and ask (jehovah) god for help??

  Do JWs contribute to co-dependency behavior?

  by love2Bworldly in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was a jw from age 12 to age 21. i also had an extremely dysfunctional family.

  i am sitting here at work (work is slow) and i am wondering whether there was a bigger influence on me to have co-dependency behavior from my life as a jw or the fact that my family was really messed up.. i am thinking about the fact that i am soon to be divorced from a second person who has an addictive personality and/or abusive type of personality, and i am wondering how much influence the jws instilled in me to marry quickly and try to make that marriage work even after finding out how dysfunctional that person is.. i am not looking for excuses or blame.

  i know i am the one who made the wrong choices.

  Making my peace with life, love and the world we live in.

  by diamondblue1974 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i am a point in my life when i reflect upon my history and my interactions with various people who have been a part of my life.

  some have stayed and yet some inevitably have left through either their or my own choice or indeed by sadly moving into the next life.

  these people include family, close friends partners, colleagues and acquaintances.

  I'm scared and I need help

  by Chameleon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those of you that don't know my story, read my first post here: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/122526/1.ashx

  so, i think next week is when i find out if i am approved to be an ms. if not, thank god, but if i am, i'm in deep crap.

  elder dad is confident that i'll accept, but my plan is to try to get out of it by saying that i want to finish school and get an aa degree, at least, before accepting more responsibilities.

  What things about "Apostates" do you feel is "controlling" as WTS?

  by booker-t in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  one of the things that i have noticed since i have been out is that "apostates"/ex-jw's tend to try and "controll" you the same way as jw's used to do.

  for example: whenever you tell an "apostate" that you are no longer one of jw's they right away asume that you want to be a "born-again" christian and try to cram the "trinity" doctrine down your throat.

  also if you tell an apostate that you don't share their views on hell-fire damnation they will immediately look at you with "contempt".
