  i have just been told that i have an ovarian cyst and need an operation to remove it.

  apparently ihave had it a long time and it is a rather bizarre form of cyst called a dermoid cyst.

  i was wondering if any of the ladies on jwn have had the same type or know anything about them?

  What 'hooked' you... and what made you leave?

  i wasn't born in.

  i got hooked in as a teenager.

  was going through a tough time, wondered why we exist, why god wasn't doing anything to solve man's problems, if there was a true religion and, hey-presto, a jw classmate showed up with book that not only asked the questions i was asking but answered them too!.

  Time can heal, but not completely

  by Maddie in

  it's been a long time since i looked in here; even longer since i posted.

  i don't recognise hardly anyone on the site now, but remember the support from posters when things were very difficult for me, as i made the decision to leave the watch tower.

  it was a so painful not being able to have my jw son and baby grand daughter and not having them in my life any more and still hurts two years later, but it is bearable now most of the time.. i don't regret leaving because i couldn't live a lie after i knew it was a cult.

  Totally Busted and Scared!!!!!!

  by 2pink in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my husband and i have been fading/disappearing for a few months now.

  we haven't been to meetings in quite some time, but most of our family members live out of the area, so they don't know yet.

  so with the spirit of joy that comes from newly exiting a doomsday cult, we have been celebrating all the holidays as well as my 5 year old's birthday (she turned 5 on december 2).

  The phrase "The Truth"

  by lepermessiah in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so, i am curious..... how many of you have a hard time getting that phrase out of your vocabulary?.

  i have been conscienciously trying not to use it at all, so now when i am in a conversation with a jw, its amazing how often they use that phrase.

  i look back and wonder "god, did i say that that often?
