  Did you forget how to make friends?

  simon raised an interesting point in my last thread about so many leaving the forum - his point was that the ideal situation would be to move on and leave forums like this one in the past at some point.

  agreed.

  seems as though cult victims in general - and witnesses in particular - have been taught to divest oneself of the social tangibles needed to make friends and move on.

  I've never been one to believe that staying here at JWD for years on end means a person isn't growing or moving on.

  For myself, I have met many friends here and I enjoy visiting with them, joking with them, planning meetups, learning from them,helping new ones learn things they never knew about the witnesses and want to escape.

  I don't NEED friends here, I choose to have them. I could just e-mail them sure, but I like visiting with them in the setting we have here. It's like sitting in a bar or a social club with all your buddies.

  Another reason I stay here is to learn of the latest smut on a destructive cult called the Jehovahs Witnesses as most all of my family is still inside it's walls and I eagerly await news about anything that tells me this cult is falling, slowing down, having legal battles, is being exposed by the media, etc. It makes my day.

  Plus, I'm not that crazy about TV

  My marriage is over because Jehovah was not the third string

  does anyone remember that saying from their dub days?

  i heard through the family grape vine that is why my marriage is over.....because jehovah was not in it and did not bless it.

  it did not upset me them saying this.

  I left "the truth" in about 95'. Before that, my wife and I argued and bitched at each other quite often. Since I left the "truth" and Jehovah, we don't argue and fight anymore. I guess jehovah made more of a knot in our marriage rather than a binding third cord.

  about 4 pairs of jeans for my daughter (they fit thank god), a new gap sweater for my daughter (it still had the tag on it), an ice cream maker for 5 bucks, and a few baby toys for the baby that i'm now babysitting.. it was a good haul.

  I have Xanax to be used, which is like an instant cure and fantastic, but my doctor doesn't want me to use it very often, and doesn't want me to drive while taking it either, which presents a problem.

  The problem is that I am starting to notice that 90% of my panic attacks occur when I leave home (as in get in the car to go places)

  My wife has the same problem. She too was on Xanax but the doc later prescribed Lexapro which is for depression but it took care of the attacks. The problem with this is....she lost all her sex drive and gained alot of weight.....but no panic attacks.

  A good friend of mine recommended a book for me to read as I was having many bouts of anxiety and depression on and off.

  The book is called, THE MOOD CURE, by Julia Ross. This book described to a tee the feelings I was having. The cure are a few herbs that level out the brains chemistry that causes many of the problems that have been related here, however it also recommends caution to those taking other medications.

  The results ...at least to me... happened very quickly although it has only been a couple of weeks since I started the herbs which basically fuels the brain of any lacking ingrediants that keep you mentally stable as far as anxiety, depression etc. It's worth the read ....although I just started the book
