Who had the HOTS for YOU?

by nomoreguilt in

a number of years ago, there was a large group of us that went to an unasigned territory.

many of us stayed at a small motel, motel 8, 6, 666 something like that, others camped out.

so, most of those that stayed at the motel were in the in group.

No one ever came on to me in person, whether it be JWs at the KH or the DC, guys at school, guys at work, whatever. I pursued my ex. The only guys that have ever made a move on me have been those I've met online, both married and single. I'm not a head turner, but maybe I look better in pics than I do in person.

I've seen her pic. I can see why a JW male pounced on her.

The odds are good, but the goods are ODD!

i'm inviting former jws to file a class suit against the watchtower for psychological, sociological, physical, intellectual, biological and financial damages.

a. psychological damage:.

1. followers are made to believe that the christian bible is the sole and exclusive word of god.

One more thing, I seriously doubt that the WTS can be held responsible for "forcing" you to go to the meetings and out in service. Did the GB show up at your door every Sat and Sun morning, as well as Tue and Thurs evenings to make sure you were doing what was required? They weren't beating on my bedroom door. Who was? My mother. She's the one that bought into their teachings and promises and dragged me and my siblings along in the process. Am I upset w/ her? No...she was just doing what she felt was best for me. As for baptism, yes many of us were pessured into it, but in the end, it was still our individual decision.

I was raised as a JW, but I refuse to let the WTS get anymore of my life. I permitted enough of it. And, I'm sorry Outlaw, but there are many, many members that visit this board on a regular basis who have gotten over it and moved on w/ their lives. This board is going w/ their memberships, too.

Maybe instead you could use all the time and money this case would involve and get some good therapy. If the WT ruined 1/2 of your life and you are 44 years old, don't you think it's time to move on?

Anyone still have trouble expressing anger?

by tall penguin in

jw
friends

having been doubly mind-f*&ked by an organization that preaches peace and poor boundaries and a perfectionistic mother who hates conflict, i find myself still having great difficulty expressing my anger in a healthy way.

my past response when angry was to cry or turn the anger on myself and become self-destructive, ultimately leading to suicidal thoughts.

i find lately my subconscious percolating anger almost constantly.

sweetface2233

I'm not an angry person by nature, but my entire life I have had problems w/ any type of confrontation. I don't know if it has to do w/ being raised as a JW, being raised by a very insecure mother who constantly questions herself, or just being a female in a male dominated world. Whatever the case, I do carry quite a bit of emotional conflict that is very difficult to come to terms w/. I don't harbor anger or bitterness of any kind, well maybe a little toward my ex, but it's fading more everyday. I am an independent and strong chick, but I cower when it comes to confronting someone, especially men, about anything. For some reason, I fear that they will get angry and lash out at me.

I'm not sure if this is a connection, but quite recently I have been having frequent dreams where I will wake up and my heart is racing. In these dreams I, too, cannot yell, scream, or have my voice heard by anyone. It is becoming quite disturbing.

Who else has zero friends?

i am now a junior in college, and i have my own place.

i don't really like having roommates at all.

i just left in the middle of a lease because my ex-roommate was being a pain in the ass.

Two years ago I would have been able to jump in this thread and say, "ME, I have ZERO friends". But today, I cannot.

I am 30 years old and have lived in the DC area for going on 10 years now. I am used to people coming and going in my life, but just this year I have been able to meet people w/ some actual substance. I now have some REAL friends; friends who call and see how I am doing; friends who make sure they see me at least once a week; friends who can tell something is bothering me just by hearing my voice. One girl I met on craigslist; she responded to a rant I wrote about a sleazy guy that I dated a few years ago and the others I met in an XJW group on meet-up.com. I have met a few others here, but giving time zones and distance, it is difficult to maintain intimate friendships, but we are trying.

Give it some time. Just when you give up all hope, friends will start making an appearance.
