  Never Had Strong Feelings - Did You Experience that as a JW?

  by cognac in

  2. friends

  when i went to a funeral and i cried cause i thought it was what you were supposed to do.. went to a wedding and didn't really care, just was happy cause everyone else was.. there was just never any strong feelings, except depression of course.. but anyways, did you guys ever experience that?

  no strong feelings as a jw?

  now that i'm coming out, i'm noticing that i'm starting to actually get more feelings... not sure if that's a jw thing or just cause i'm seeing a phychiatrist now... however, i do notice that with hubby, no strong feelings.

  For those who helped family OUT of the Org.........

  i think this is an important topic to review time to time because so many people on jwd have seen the light and want out but have family still in.

  what advice can you give others that helped you get your family out?

  here are some things i did;.

  That time of year again... Mum and Memorial

  by MisfitMeL in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  here we go again... i never mention anything about the meetings or study articles or associating with other jws in emails to my mum so i think she suspects that i am not attending my local kingdom hall (which is true).

  so the line in her most recent email isn't suprising - i hope you'll be attending the memorial on the 22nd of this month.

  the thought of what i could reply is giving me a dangerous itch!

  My life growing up as a witness...

  2. experiences

  i have just spent the last 4 hours reading many various posts and finally built up the courage to register and share my experiences.

  i am only 20 years old, but my young age should not overlook my intelligence as an observing individual.

  i was born into the religion of the jehova's witnesses.

  Question for you born ins

  by startingover in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i was growing up as a born in jw, i remember the fear that dfing stirred up within me.

  as a kid, seeing a df'd person was quite a scary thing.

  thinking back about how it was growing up, it occurred to me that at the time, i never realized that a person had to be baptized in order to be df'd.
