  hi everybody, i am a newbe to the forum and have been faded from the borg for about 15 years.

  i just wanted to say how good it is to read all your personal experiences about how you have been able to get free from the wts.

  i have just read the post from jwfacts.

  Nice Experience with my "Worldly" Relatives

  by bavman in

  2. experiences

  after da'ing myself three years ago i wanted to get in touch with some of my "worldly" relatives since i had mostly ignored them for quite sometime and because my witness relatives were shunning me.

  about the only relative i had a relationship with was my sister who was df'd.

  i wasn't quite sure how to go about this because i didn't know what my parents had told any of them if anything.

  I'm glad you had a chance to connect with your family members! I've always hated the fact that we were so isolated from extended family because they were "worldly".

  i've met some wonderful friends here at this forum, but it's time for me to put the jw religion to rest.

  it will be 15 years this october that i daed myself which in retrospect i wish i wouldn't have done as there are some former sisters who i would love to give a big hug and talk with who are in pain mentally, but i can't.

  i agreed to their "rules" when i was baptized.

  I Miss My Parents ....

  dear friends similarly bereaved,.

  i've been here long enough to understand the love/hate relationship we've all had with our moms and dads.

  for some, forgiving and forgetting sins of omission and commission is not possible.

  I know how you feel, when I paid off mine 5 months ago I felt like a 200lb weight was lifted. Then two weeks later, it started smoking!!! Had to fix it $500.00!

  At least I didn't have the car payment to pay also!

  By "Worldly Standards"Did U Ever Do Anything Soooo Bad While In The "Truth"

  jws make a huge deal out of everything!!!!

  if you blew your nose the wrong way, you might've "stumbled" someone.

  if you "french kissed", you might be guilty of "loose conduct".

  I kissed and "dry humped" an elders son, the phone rang 15 minutes after I got home, it was the elder dad, the damn boy went home and told before I could get my damn shoes off. You know how you get that funny feeling in your stomach when something is going to happen? As soon as the phone rang my stomach started, knew!!! I hate elders and elders son's

  the silent blackness of a summer night.

  standing with only the stars as your lights.

  looking over the land and seeing only tombstone to mark your path.

  When I was around 12, my best friend and I made a deal that if one died before the other we promised to come back at least once to let the other know if it was scary or not. Of course we are all grown up now and still best friends, but wouldn't it be nice if someone you knew came back to let you know that it's ok? or not?

  Her family was 7th day adventist just as fanatical as my JW, but she is the one who I went to live with when I turned 18 and my parents tried that shunning crap on me! her parents were great, a little crazy but I was used to crazy.

  Ok sorry I hijacked the tread, I've done that twice this week already! Anyway if one of you guys go please come back and tell me what it's all about
