OK and this may sound even more paranoid but this Pastor has never gone out of his way to talk to my husband like this just me. If both me and my husband are outside on the deck he ignores us but if I am alone is when he yells over to try to talk. Anyway I am not happy about this situation. Not the subject of the post sorry.

Why don't I see any pastors or clergy on this forum?
by moshe init just occurred to me that i have never seen a member on jwd who was a minister/priest/rabbi/monk,friar,shamman, etc.
maybe i have just missed their posts and then again, maybe they don't come here for some reason.
i know they must come in contact with jw's and ex-jw's all the time.

What does he talk about? Well so far no religious stuff but maybe I'm just sensitive or paranoid. When I go out on my deck to grill food every single time he is out there and I am putting food on the grill he yells out at me asking what I am making. Maybe I'm just being weird I don't know but this Pastor has a wife and my husband would never yell out at his wife when she is out on there deck hey what are you making on the grill and we have seen his wife out there many times alone.
Yeah I'm probably just paranoid but hey what can I say of all the people to move in next door a Pastor? All I can say is I feel judgement coming if I ever do talk about religion. It's just been my experience. I'm judged by my family and judged by my husbands family for not going along with there religion and they are Lutheran it's like I can't get away from it no matter what.

My neighbor right next door is a pastor of the Lutheran church just on the corner of our street. Totally freaks me out. They just moved in about a year ago and I totally avoid talking to them at all costs. It's really hard because for some reason the Pastor seems to like to try to talk to us and is constantly trying to talk to us when we are outside. Uggggghhh what do I do? I hate talking about religion.

My first JW encounter at the door in ages...
by Gregor ini am spending the week at my sons house in seattle to help him while recovering from knee surgery.
i answered the doorbell and it was a young woman by herself.
she read a scripture from james (can't remember) and offered me the a&w.

I've had them come to my door a few times in the last 10 years. I'm pretty sure it was because of my mother since I still live in the territory of her congregation and I know how well they keep track of that kind of stuff. The first time no one answered the door it was just a bad time and they left literature and then the second time no one was home and I just came home to there literature in the front door and the third time I had not idea who it was but my husband answered the door and he knows all about it.
He's never been a JW and he just said no thank you just like he would to any other sales person at the door. I've been pretty annoyed by it since I know it's known where my house is in there territory. It's probably a good thing that I have never actually expected them or known that it was them at the door because I am pretty angry about some stuff and might take it out on some poor innocent person.
It probably won't happen though since I have a rule of not answering the door if I don't know who is at the door. I suggest that for any woman home alone. If my husband is home he gets the door.

Avatar is a picture of my kitty. Then my screen name is similar to my real name it's sort of a nick name people use for someone with my name but it's never been my nickname so no one would know who I was.

Do you sometimes feel really disconected from people?
by Aphrodite ini thought i had been going really well in my life until my mothers recent attempt at shunning me.
now im feeling like i don't want to connect with anyone.
i'm kind of disconnecting myself from my friends even, withdrawing.

I totally know how you feel. It runs so deep. For me it's like growing up in that religion has turned me against all religions. My biggest issue with religion at this point and this is not a serious issue for most but I find every single religion all everyone does is sit around and criticize others. It's like whever I go whoever I talk to people are putting others down constantly. If I talk to a JW then I'm bad if I talk to someone who isn't and tell them how I grew up then it's negative also. It's like I can't escape the negativity so I shut myself of from almost everyone. My hubby is awesome though. I don't know what I would do without him. How do you find a psychiatrist who deals with this kind of thing?

would a jw wife be advised to divorce her disfellowshipped convicted hub
by looloo inif he has been convicted of child abuse and doing a prison sentence , would she tell any newly interested ones where her husband was?
or would elders tell her to say he was"working away" or to avoid answering so as not to "stumble" new ones ?
she is supporting him as far as i know .

I just wanted to add that I am appalled that someone going to prison for child abuse only gets a public reproof.

OK here is the link to the book with a girls personal experience of Scientology. You just go in and read each chapter. Each chapter has a link 1-14. They also do the disfellowshipping thing. I can't rememeber if they call it that but it's the same type of thing but in this book it's way worse then what JW's do. More like physical abuse.

I read a book online once about scientology. Talk about scary stuff. I wanted to post on this thread so I could save it in my former posts and I'm going to try to get ahold of the book again. It's pretty long reading about someone's personal experience with the religion. I hope I can find it again. My brother sent me the link to the online book it's free by the way. But seriously makes the JW's look like kittens.

Moments at the District Assembly You'll Never Forget...
by integ ini'll never forget the assembly in madison, wi.
where some poor sap had to tell everyone that he had become addicted to porno on the net, but through much prayerful contemplation and after confessing to the elders he was able to come to "grips" with it.. good luck to that guy with ever getting a fine sister to marry him.. poor guy.
i really felt sorry for him.

I was at an assembly where they had it set up in a huge gym with bleachers. What's that all about for one thing? A two day event where you have to sit in bleachers. It was painful as a child/teenager I can't imagine my body now after back surgery there would be no way I'd spend a day sitting on bleachers.
Anyways I was a teenager and it was at the end of the last day the last prayer of the day and I put my head down and lost my balance and fell out into the isle. I heard laughing. Then about an hour later I was walking out of the place and some little kids pointed at me and said that's the girl that fell. Oh such fun memories...lol.
