  Yes, we swayed too! I remember quite a few that used to as well. I guess it was really getting into the kingdom melodies.

  My mom was a big swayer!

  What weird and wonderful Syndromes did the bros and sisters profess to have

  when i was in the organisation was in a few different congs.

  every one always had a good proportion of them that claimed they had "me".

  not sure what they call it in the states but think chronic fatigue may be similar.it had an age range between young teenagers and midle aged ones.

  Yes, how ironic...several sisters that I knew also had either Fibromyalgia or CFS...hmmm. Good excuse to stay away from the meetings and service.

  Since I left the org, (about 12 years) I have only come across one person that has Fibromyalgia...yet I knew of quite a few in the org. that claimed to have it.

  Very interesting...

  Thanks to everyone for your encouraging words. I do feel a bit better today. It is so nice to have all you guys to talk to b/c we truly understand each other. That is a nice feeling. I know it does get better with time, but every once in a while I have one (or two) of those days. You all know what I'm talking about.

  Bill, your comment about a winter chill up my skirt made me laugh out loud!

  Hugs to all of you who made my day!! I'm going to go think about all the positive things in my life. I have a lot to be greatful for!

  Thanks guys, I do appreciate your comments.

  I have a husband that loves me dearly but I just wonder how he can when my family doesn't even care??

  I know my feelings will pass, I'm just having a weak moment. Just thought I would share.

  Thanks everyone!

  Elders and JWs who study a lot...

  by cognac in

  do you think they know its not the truth???

  elders, for example, through jcs are privied to info about the jw involvement with the un, 607 bce, etc, etc... .

  people who actually do study a lot, you think they figured it out???.

  I think that even if a tiny bit of doubt crept into their minds they would dismiss it right away b/c you are taught not to doubt Jeh's organization. For fear of disfellowshiping or being called an apostate I do believe most just don't allow themselves to think about it...wish they would!

  she has spent the previous 3 years incarcerated.

I was always there for them, was the daughter, friend, sister etc. they needed me to be and now - nothing. I always thought being a JW is like being born into a 3rd world country...you can't get out. I seriously cannot believe you can let a religeon tell you that you cannot talk to your family b/c they are not the same faith as you. Don't they miss me??

  Sorry guys, I'm just really down today. Words of advise please?

  Welcome Southern Belle! Congrats to you for making a very difficult (but right) decision!

  It does get easier. Mostly I have just accepted the way things are and maybe someday I will have a relationship with some members of my family again.

  I am glad that you feel free, it is a nice feeling isn't it?

  Look forward to hearing from you more,

  I am separated from my mom and one of my brothers. I don't care much for my mom so that is fine but it breaks my heart in two that I cannot talk to my brother. I am not DF'd, they just choose to not have me in their life b/c I am "bad association". I hope and pray that my brother will see the light and leave this cult. I know he does have some doubts so here is to hoping...it can't come soon enough though, I miss him!

  Busted

  my incredibly sweet and intelligent girlfriend busted me on this site.

  i have talked to her about most of my issues with the wbts and told her about the site, but due to the very strong similarity between my conversations and my posts, she has cracked open the case like the little detective she is.

  i started telling her about a post i had put up tpday and how after quite a few months i have decided that religion is a piece of art and you cant argue over it, anyway half way through telling her she actually stopped me and said she had already read it along with all of my other posts.

  Best of luck to you, I hope you hang on to your girlfriend, she sounds smart, understanding and not judgemental. Sounds like she would enjoy this site as well.

  I hope you will be back, the funny thing about doubt is you usually cannot let it go, it lingers whether or not you want it to!

  Take care,

  MMO
