Unfortunately this is how most (if not all) JW's behave. It's called conditional love, I will love you and be there for you, but only if you belive in WTBS organization.

It's all conditional, hang in there, find you some real friends that will be there for you no matter what religion you happen to believe in!!

Regarding Psychic Phenomena.

with the recent tv.

show ghost hunters 7 hours long shown live and on the internet with web cams planted all over the place from east pennslyvania pentitentiary on friday evening from 8pm to 3am, there were many responses from all over the country about people seeing images, ghosts etc.

for those who watched it, was this real or is it a great hoax.. i read that when it comes with dealing with hard evidence of life after death it's been shown that there are three classes of people.. there are those that ridicule idea of anything beyond the grave.. then there are those who have already accepted the evidence of continued existence beyond physical death.. the third group is often thrown offtrack when trying to get at the truth by the folks in the metaphysical camp.. which group do you belong to and why?

BlueBlades,

I'm not sure where I fit in. Part of me feels that souls that are not at rest for whatever reason hang around. I don't bother them and they don't bother me!!

Unfortunately none of us will know what happens after death, and no one has come back to tell me personally what happens. If someone tells me they have seen a spirt, I have to believe that they saw what they say they saw.

Jehovah's Witness Radar----Do You Have It?

by minimus in

jw

some people can spot a "gay" person by using their built-in "gaydar".. can you spot a witness easily?

what are the signs that this person must be a witness??

tell us about you "jwdar".....(prounounced jawaydar)..

I don't know why, but I pegged her as either a JW or former JW. I didn't want to come right out and ask. So one day, my curiosity got the best of me, and while I was at the copier, I just started whistling "Move Ahead Move Ahead to maturity.."

AAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW I CAN'T GET THAT DAMNED SONG OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks a million El Kabong, for putting that tune back into my head after 24 years.................................move ahead, move ahead, it's driving me crazy!!!!!

she left me today......

by theinfamousone in

i went out to see my sister and my mom... when i got back she said she was leaving... when i asked why, she said she was weirded out by my lack of trust.... i couldnt trust her,, so i hid things... its not her fault, its not like i was lying or anything, but i mean some shit, i just didnt tell her... i am so used to being called names, lectured and torn apart for being 100% honest, that now, i still am scared to let anyone completely in... now the best thing that ever happened to me is gone... she left and im not sure shes ever coming back... and iom not sure who to blame.. i mean its obviously my fault, but did the borg put a fear of trusting into my heart and soul?

i guess i cant blame anyone but myself... but at this point, im so torn and hurt that im not sure what to do... all i know is that what was finally having the semblance of family to me is now gone... the first time i was able to live with someone and love someone, albeiut with an ingrained sense of distrust, has disappeared, probably never to return..... .

this has broken me, i don't know what i will be doing with myself for the next couple of days... i feel almost dead inside... the infamous one.

Infamousone,

I think being a JW contributes to hiding and not letting everything out in our adult lives. While in the BORG and trying to get out you have to hide and once we are out it's hard not to feel like you need to hide everthing.

Be open and truthfull with her when you guys have your talk, make sure she understands that you are aware of this and that you are working on it, trying to not be the same!!! It's important to hear that from the other person, that they know what the problem is.

Good luck and I hope things work out!

2nd degree sunburn help

by roflcopter in

so i went fishing at the beach for about 9 hours last thursday.

silly me i forgot to bring sunscreen this time.

my arms didnt get burnt since i already burned once, but my legs are extremely burnt!.

ex-nj-jw

You should probably see your doctor, 2nd degree burns can potentially become infeced therefore causing more problems. At the least, he/she can give you something to help them heal quicker.

Good luck

My D/A letter

by done4good in

jw
friends

after managing a successful fade, the long thread started by nvrgnbk made me think a bit.

up until then, i maintained a fairly hardline stance that the borg would need to d/f me if they really wanted me "out".

but then, i began to consider a few things.

ex-nj-jw

Nice letter, short and to the point!!! We can only hope that the questions would make them at least investigate, but probably not!!

Here's to wishful thinking!!

interesting place!

for whatever reason i have never chosen to search for such an bbs.

i don't know how i will fit in.

ex-nj-jw

Welcome dave,

I too was raised a jw, left at age 18 and never looked back. I knew from a very early age that this was not for me. I also don't believe in Jehovah, or that there will be an armegedon, as for the rest of the WTBS bullsh**, it's all garbage to me.

Look forward to hearing more of your story.

Also, I have 3 boys (grown men, youngest is 17) and I refer to all three as "the boy" when they have pissed me off or done something stupid, has nothing to do with who fathered them!

Can I Disassociate myself from this site?

by mtsgrad in

jw
friends

hi guys and galls,.

i have been a happy member for a few weeks now and have just figured out that this site is owned and monitored by the borg.. everytime i land on the homepage there is an advert from google inviting me to betheltours.

from my limited online advertiding experience i reckon that 3% of the 400,000 daily users click on this advert.

ex-nj-jw

I don't think there is a formal dissociate policy here, just stop coming to the site and stop posting.

This isn't the JW org, you will not be shunned because you don't post here anymore.
