  Remember the BIG announcement in Spring 2005?

  by Younglove1999 in

  it was made after the wt study - .

  the introduction to the new organized book, no longer called the om book, now the od book?

  perhaps i haven't dug deep enough but why is everyone so sure that this big announcement on sunday is something more than just a revised book?

  I want to go to a mtg simply to see people, but I know I'll regret it

  this is probably prompted by the fact that i had a dream about someone last night who we used to be pretty good friends with prior to us leaving the org.

  also another couple we used to be friends with gave birth to their first child last month and we'd love to see them.

  here's the obvious: .

  The elders want a JW to be my Mother in law's POA instead of her own son

  by Younglove1999 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's been a while since i posted here- i frequently lurk, but have been busy with work, life, and not letting the fact that i was a jw for so long linger over my life and become overcome with "what if's?

  yesterday we got a phone call from my mother in law who is a jw.

  she was distraught because she still has my husband (her son) who is no longer a jw as her medical and legal poa.

  my mom would rather have died than get hepititis

  so last week my mother arrived early to baby sit while i was getting ready for work.

  we started chatting and she mentioned the wt for that week and how it was about children- well it just so happens i actually read that article here on jwd so i actualy knew what she was talking about and even marked it up with my own comments should i ever have the chance to express them.

  so i'm fired up and i say to my mom "if your mom was a jw you really wouldn't be here because you would have died without that blood transfusion" .

  So here's something crazy

  by Younglove1999 in

  i've been on a fitness message board for several years now and throughout this time have met some nice people and so on.

  about 2 1/2 years ago, i had posted a picture of myself and my husband that was taken in brooklyn (of course during a bethel tour *vomits*) anyways, i got a private message from a fellow board member wanting to know what religion i was because she doesn't know that many people who get dressed up to merely walk around brooklyn.

  long story short, we find out we're both jw's.

  Even though you're a JW, I don't know you so back off!

  by Younglove1999 in

  did you ever feel that way when you were in "the truth"?

  i hated that people tried to overstep the normal boundaries humans have with strangers and get all "brotherly and encouraging".

  when we changed congregations, i found it so annoying when people we barely knew tried to act as if we were best friends.

  One of those days

  by Younglove1999 in

  1. jw

  you know, when the haunting trauma of being out of the organization rears it's ugly head- .

  my husband and i have been out for almost 9 months now and i still struggle with so many emotions.

  some days/weeks i'm fine and other times i just have so much bottled up, i feel like exploding.

  Did all those refreshing moments/ideas make you cringe?

  by Younglove1999 in

  i have to admit- the idea of having to live forever and having to continue going to meetings 1,000 times a week and studying "the new scrolls" sounded so annoying and tiring and not at all refreshing and exciting!

  i honestly did not look forward to "it" .

  when discussing how exciting going to assemblies and conventions would be and how we'd always leave feeling rejuvinated and happy, i never did.
