learning to find friends as an ex-jw.
i wrote this essay because of what i have observed and experienced in the way of disappointment and reward in the relationships and freinds i have made online.
i can relate to how you some x-jws feel about leaving online discussion boards.
I am in the process of fading, and I can echoe the sentiments of Bernadette. I can honestly say I don't miss anyone from the KH and in the last few years unless I've instigated contact I can go for weeks without hearing from anyone. During that time it really did show me who my true friends were (or weren't) as the case ay be. I was extremnely lonely during this time and it hurt a lot to know how little I really meant.
Happier now
due to funkyderek i have come to the decision to leave this board.
when i posted on the current gay thread in a way that i thought would stimulate thinking and lighten up the seriosness of the thread and have a laugh, he and others put me down publically labelling me.
so i find it difficult now to continue posting knowing that someone has influenced others into thinking that i'm not worthy of being here because my phrasing and spelling is bad and that i'm apparently a "hyporite".
Please don't go steve.
i'll try to make this long story short.. in october ... about 3 days before i left for a trip my mother decided to have my cell phone cut off.
i've had my bill in my mom's name since i was 16 and have always paid it since i was old enough to work.
but .. out of pure spite, she cut off my phone.
I'm really sorry to hear how your parents are treating you, especially your mum, at such an important time in your life! Hopefully they'll see sense quickly, and realise they are hurting themselves as much as they are trying to punish you for having a mind of your own and seeing through all the lies from the jw's.
I hope you have a fantastic wedding day!

ok hannah's facing another surgery.. here's the deal:.
last week they found something behind her right ear drum.
they did a cat scan while she was in the hospital.
I'm really sorry for you all, my thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
I know what it's like to face surgery and illness at such a young age. I hope everyrhing goes well.

Happy now I'm out
this is the guy that sat on my razor blades the one time i was thinking of cutting myself... this is the guy that everytime my dad beat me, would come to my room and lay with me... this is the guy that one time jumped into the bathtub with me while i was crying after a brutal beating, the cat hated water... this is a cat that was more family to me than my own father and mother combined... this was my best friend... .
today i had to do the hardest thing i ever did, i had to choose to have him put down... and as he fought the vet, and tried to bite her, i put my hand on his head, and he stopped struggling... and as they put the last needle into his leg, he purred until he died... the vet says she has never seen that before... this was my best friend and i had to kill him... fuck, im a baby, but i miss him soooo much.
the infamous one.
I'm really sorry to hear about your cat. I had a cat that lived on my street and it always used to come running when I called. At the time I was extremely depressed and suicidal and I found I got a lot of comfort and companionship during a very lonely, dark period in my life from the little sweety, so I can only imagine what you are going through. My heart goes out to you.

Thank you all for your messages, it's true being a witless for me was an endless cycle of guilt and depression and feeling I should be doing more. Now I feel so liberated.

I just wanted to say Hi to everyone. I've recently decided to stop being a JW after being raised as one. I'm now in my early twenties and finally feel free. I wanted to say I've been reading all the post over the last few days and they have really encouraged me and helped me to make my decision and stick by it. Anyway I just wanted to introduce myself and start the fading!!!!
Unhappy x
