  well lets get off to a good start for the year by using jesus to justify staying with your abusive husband:.

  thursday, january 3. when [jesus] was being reviled, he did not go reviling in return.

  when he was suffering, he did not go threatening.-1 pet.

  i have to get feeing better soon.

  i don't mind some ups and downs, but staying low for days at a time just ain't right.

  somebody here was talking about snow the other day and how the elders would almost never cancel the meeting.

  Childhood fears

  by beksbks in

  1. jw

  i'm sure this has been asked, but is there anything that you were horribly afraid of as a child, that you most likely have gotten over since?.

  i was just watching x-files, and there was a spontaneous human combustion scene.

  that was one of my big fears as a kid once i heard of it.

  Were you pressured into marrying/having children young?

  by breakingfree in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is probably something women in the organisation experience more than men.

  even though we were instructed from the platform to use our youth to go pioneering, the older sisters in the congregation always seemed to be pushing younger women to marry and have children so they would be 'happy' like them .

  when i got married (far too young, lucky it worked out) there was instant teasing, encouragement, etc to procreate.

  Hi there!

  i have been coming to this site to read news and your stories for about a year now, but have never posted due to my mortal fear of somehow being found out... i have family in as most of you do, who are all very sincerely convinced that they are on the path of light.. i have never been happy with the beliefs, mainly the doublespeak on the status of women, the hypocrisy, the dramatisation of the smallest of matters, and the general guilt trip that was my life until i stumbled across some hard evidence that my suspicions about 'gods channel' were well founded.

  unfortunately i am now addicted to turning over every piece of information i can find, there seems to be no end to the amount of $#*& below the surface.

  i will probably remain in this state for awhile, hungrily devouring all the information that makes me feel validated for my stand against much of the mindless rubbish that has gone around me during my life as a jw.
