  Drinking issues, alcoholism and ex JW's

  by digderidoo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i got talking to my mother yesterday about my alcoholism issues and slightly touched upon how my jw past has had a bearing on it.. she was telling me about a lady who cuts my nan's hair who turns out is an ex jw and we know her family.

  apparently this lady drinks heavily and every day, at the same time is angry about her jw past and the way she's treated by family even though sh'es not df'ed.. we had a small chat about my alcoholism and that i could relate to this lady.. anyway it got me realising that there are a number here who have similar issues, so i would like to post this link.. http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/.

  it's a forum that covers addiction in general, it has helped me loads.

  Leolaia, slimboyfat et al. - how difficult?

  by TheOldHippie in

  i read your posts, and the posts of others, and posts at other sites - posts that are full of research material of the sort you will have to spend the whole night going thru and trying to remotely get a grip of.. so i wonder - just how difficult do you - or others - feel that christianity, christian faith, "salvation" is meant to be?

  if you consider a namib desert pygme, a bhutan sherpa, a yunnan farmer, an andes mine worker, an amazonian jungle dweller, an indian without caste, a big city sidewalk dweller - just how hard can it be meant for him / her to grasp the gospel and gain hope of salvation?

  what is demanded by the salt of the earth people?

  I would suggest the cold reality of" truth" can be debated.

  If there comes a point that you feal its a filthy straw mattresses and you cant(Quote) "See the trees becauuse of the damned leaves" and connect with all the research material. Do what I do ignor the posts.

  asilentone.

  I really enjoy your posts. I rememberd when you joined the board some questiond if your stories were true. I admire you sticking it out. If I may say you have also questiond some posters.

  With the greatest respect is this not a form of shunning? Anyway I have really enjoyed many of your insightful contributions and thought provoking questions.

  No, but Iam working on it.

  Actually I knocked on the door of a witness couple who were shunning a girl. I pointed it was making her suisidal and It would be there responsibilty.

  To the congregations credit the congregation stopped shunning her. How long this has lasted is a question that interests me.

  Does you get reely annoiyed at posta's who start thred's wif typo's in the titel?

  by yadda yadda 2 in

  do you find it annoying and insulting when someone starts a thread with typos in the title?

  i snort in contempt when i see a new thread started and the poster hasn't even bothered getting the spelling correct in the title, or starts the thread off with a post full of typos and crap grammar.

  i've found that the more stupid mistakes there are in the title of a thread and in the poster's initial post, the less interesting and worthy of reading is the thread.

  I dont find it annoying or insulting that threads are not gramatically correct . I would compare such thinking with the Kingdom Halls dress code.

  Oftern the less polished the threat the more honest the post: infact I would prefer posters to post as they speak. For example if you say "me" whwn you speak why write "my" when you write-

  I think of all the posters oompas personality comes across best and I really enjoy his posts. They seem from the hearts with walts and all.

  I remember a brother with a stutter giving a reading and shaking like a leaf on a tree with sweat dripping from his forehead and a English guy who gave a talk in Swedish nobody understood a word but everyone admired the courage.

  People can post on this board who are mentally challenged or have English as a second language. They might be young children posting ect ect.

  the most important thing i learnt from being a jehovers witness was that i never really learnt anything.

  i could hold opinions as long as they were not dogmatic against the society:.

  i may have thought that 2 and 2 equals 4 but i was only allowed to "suspect" this was correct as the society may have shed new-light on this.. cluless---(but i now no 2 and 2 equals 4..
