  Have You Lost Your Mind?

  by WildTurkey in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  its funny when you think about what the dubs say about us, if they know we are out of the org.

  for not believing anymore, they think we have lost our minds, that we are crazy, mentally corrupt.

  even if one repents and goes back to the borg he is watched like a hawk.. but now if one has sex with a goat or he runs off with another woman and leaves behind his wife and children to provide for themselves, or he screws you out of your money and leaves you broke, but repents he was not crazy, it was a moment of weakness.

  When I was in the borg I was taking an antidepressant, an antipsychotic, and an antianxiety drug. I was frequently suicidal.

  Since leaving the borg I have been taken off of both the antipsychotic and the antianxiety drugs. And my dosage on the antidepressant has been lowered TWICE!! My doctor says that there is even a chance I could get off of it forever, whereas before I was expected to be on it for life. I was going to therapy once and sometimes twice a week...now I only go as needed, or once a month.

  I have been underweight all my life but since leaving the borg I have gained 23 pounds! I asked my doctor if I needed to be worried and she said, "No, I think you are just happy."

  So, you can't tell me that I've lost my mind...I'm never going back.

  G) All of the above, except the Jedi Council.

  The Jedi Council actually has some sense and wisdom! Even though they were power hungry, they still looked out for the best interest of others besides themselves.

  Thanks for your support everyone!!

  Not only did they use the funeral as a chance to witness, but at the end of the funeral talk the 'brother' basically did a JW commercial!! I was disgusted. He made reference to my uncle being a witness and preaching about God's Kingdom and then admonished everyone else to do the same. 'We should be like Brother Cloud and use our time alive to preach from house to house...blah, blah, blah'

  My grandma just sat there shaking her head.

  Let The Dead Bury The Dead

  by Larry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  yesterday was the first time me or anybody else visited my father's grave site - he died in 1977. he was a non-jw and never liked the them, but he liked the fact that my mother was.

  ironically, i think he died the same day as nathan knorr.

  anyway, this experience has helped me to see the real meaning of 'showing respect.

  I haven't had it yet, but I plan to visit my maternal Grandmother's grave soon. I'm looking forward to it. I often 'talk' to her now...something I never would have done as a dub.

  No one ever dies as long as they are remembered. There are a lot of dead among the dubs.

  Do you love people more now that you're out?

  by writerpen in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was thinking about this the other day.

  since i've left the borg, i find myself loving other humans more.

  like all the little children being abducted, the miners trapped in the mine last week, the victims of car accidents that i pass on the road, a woman crying in the car next to me while waiting for the green light, the homeless that i see every weekend at a local soup kitchen where i volunteer, etc.

  Not only do I love them more, but I find that I am less judgemental. All the dubs say they don't judge but that's bullswhollup!

  Seeking your opinions on contacting relatives

  by Swan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's been eight years since i have spoken to any of my relatives.

  some (cousins, nieces, nephews) were young children at the time; now some are 18 and older.

  they are not allowed to speak to me, but of course those rules don't apply in the reverse.

  I'm glad you posted this question. I have been burned badly by my parents this weekend at my uncle's funeral. I think anger rules my emotions right now. I want nothing to do with them anymore. I asked my mom how some in the congregation are doing and she said that I should show up at the KH and see for myself. I asked why I should go to the KH when no one will talk to me...I will SEE them yes but that doesn't tell me how they are doing. I want to go to the KH for a meeting and not talk to my parents...see how they like being shunned! Many say that I shouldn't "stoop to their level" but I also know that those who live by the sword....

  My parents have used their sword to cut me out of their lives....I feel like doing the same to them. Maybe this thread will help me take a more objective view.
