After I started to stray from the ORG was when I got meaner I refused to have friendships with other people even the guys in my unit for a while. I kindof didn't see a point to them.

The dark side to their new personality
by JH inthe bible tells us to transform our personality so that we become better people and pleasant.
so, as jw, we were all supposed to do that.. it's funny, but most jw's i know, also transformed their personality into something more hateful.. maybe they stopped doing bad things that were apparent, but they also started doing hateful things that they didn't do before such as shun people or ignore their own brothers and sisters who don't see exactly eye to eye with the org.
as well as divide families, which they didn't do before becoming jw's.. i rather their old personality, before they became jw's.. .

Tell me about your relationship with Jehovah
by Nosferatu ini'll tell you a bit of what me and jehovah's relationship was like.
i talked to him, but he never responded.
whenever something good happened to me, i believed that he had everything to do with it.

Do you regret disowning your former religion?
by JH inbefore converting to the jw religion, i was catholic.. the jw's made me write to the catholic church and tell them that i found the truth in the jw's, and that i didn't want to be a catholic anymore.
i guess that most of us had to do this.. i remember writting a letter to the catholic chruch and stating verses why i thought they were wrong and why the jw's were right.. maybe i should write another letter to that catholic church and tell them that i made a mistake and that both religions are full of sh*t.. .

Man that was funny " Maybe I should write another letter to that Catholic church and tell them that I made a mistake and that both religions are full of sh*t." I think you should write one. Question though if our relationship with Jehovah is our own why do we need to send letters to people who dont matter? Sometimes I regret leaving the ORG because maybe my life would be nicer. Hey its like Cypher said in the matrix ignorance is bliss but i know it isnt true but man its tempting sometimes.

Dear All,
To clear up all the questions out there (honestly i was excepting this many responses) I was raised a JW. At the age of 17 one of my friends was treated very unfairly by the body of elders. She never talked about it but something happend between her and a Elder. She disapeared shortly after I havnt seen her since. After that I gradually started to rebel more, I stopped Aux pioneering, I quit my job and got a job I wanted (full-time). I sold my honda civic and I purchased a Honda 900rr sport bike. My congregation started to alienate me. I began to miss meetings on a regular basis. I lost my respect for elders, my parents, and myself. So I talked to a Navy Recruiter one day and his silver tounge (lol) made his lifestyle sound nice. So I joined up. I signed up for the avionics program and flunked out. So i was a non-rate(anyone without a job ranking) for a year. I then signed up for a RN course onboard my ship.(Mainly because there were some beautiful women taking that class) hey what can I say I was underway for a year gimme a break. So anyway I got really intrested IN THE CLASS and my teacher suggested for me to try out for the Corps. So I did........1 year later Im sticking a cotarizing rod in a marine while his blood squirts in my face and Im thinking Jehovah hates me. I never was DFed and I never went back to meetings. I m out of the Navy now. Some people say wow you are strong but really guys Im kind of a coward I never faced a Judicial commitee like most of you and my family just thinks I vanished for six years and worked abroad. And the young girl that went missing that I never stuck up for....hmmm I aint gonna lie I still do a search on the net for her every now and then...hope your well Sara.

Have u ever gone to the gym and put to many weights on the machine to the point u cant lift it not even a inch or nudge? I kinda of like having all these feelings and your heart becomes so heavy it feels like its not even part of you anymore (detached). But then something triggers it and its like a floodgate being opened. It sucks, you just gotta keep your head above the water and wait for tomorrows sun. Good luck

Hello,
I just got back from Iraq..... I was a JW before I left. I am readjusting to everything here in the real world and I gotta admit its kinda hard. My military and JW training make for alot of sleepless nights and painful days. My friend just called me and said I live a pathetic life. And honestly he's right. I have friends that i hang out with but I feel disconnected from everything. I dont know what to do.
