  Do you use JWD to AVOID what you should be doing?

  then you should read my book "procrastination perfection" by willdolater wings.

  only problem is, i haven't gotten to actually writing it.

  tomorrow is always a good day to get things done.

  Either be a singer, a motivational speaker or have my own talk show. Those would all be fun.

  Knocking on the Doors of Classmates out in service

  could anything have been more embarrassing?

  you could be at the door of the least popular munger in school, but overwhelmed with envy because, hey, at least he was doing something normal.

  in 8th grade, at the peak of childhood self-consciousness, i knocked on the door of a super popular, rich, "in" kid from my class and he answered the door.

  Oh my goodness this thread brings back those dreaded feelings!

  I was not popular in school for obvious reasons and I was so petrified of calling on someone I knew from school. When they came to the door I was constantly trying to act casual, like I enjoyed what I was doing. Holding my head up high b/c I was going to survive the great tribulation and they weren't...(this thought makes me sick to this day that we were actually taught we were better than everyone else!). People always asked me why I was dressed so weird.

  And then coffee time was always such a big production. A whole group of similarily dressed people piling into McDonalds or some stupid coffee shop. People would just stare, trying not to of course in the event some over zealous person from our group struck up a conversation with them...then we could count our time...

  Ugg.

  Do you like yourslef?

  i find this question another i hate to think of!!.

  i view myself through others which is a reality of zilch so it is bad karma for me to consider it!.

  maybe its circumstantial of many life events but i'll bet exjws feel the power of the above dynamic as a negative force for humanitarian ectics and personal self worth!

  I really do like myself most of the time, I'm a really good person who is loyal and has a good heart. But there are moments that I don't. I'm sure that is normal. I hope!

  I try not to be a negative person but...I honestly feel like my whole life up until 19 (or so) was wasted. I didn't learn the skills I needed for a normal life, didn't leave with any friends (I'm bad association), didn't see the value in education, I could go on and on...

  I am just so thankful that I got out when I did. There is time for me to make up for the life I lost. A lot of others aren't so lucky.

  How many do you or have you known suffered from "JW Growth"

  by BBOARD in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  how many "jw induced" grown males (or females) did you know that were emotionally, physically, and/or sexually repressed due to their years in the jw's ... espically those "raised in" the "truth"?.

  (this isnt a thread to center on slighting others or their actions because of their jw emotion stunting ... but you can bash hard on them for other things ... hehe) .

  I do have some really good friends...however I have changed my viewpoint on the phrase "true friend". I am not sure that is even possible, or there is such a thing. Everyone is imperfect. Even though people may have the best of intentions, no one is perfect and so there is opportunity for dissapointment in someone.

  I used to believe in true friendship. I am no longer a believer. When my own flesh and blood can turn against me, then why wouldn't someone else that doesn't have that bond and lifelong relationship with me be true?

  Sorry to be cynical, but that is the way I see it.
