  not hating or directing this at anyone.

  but if you guys hate the jw ways so much, why stick around the forum.

  the internet is full of things to do.

  Well, with the watchtower society's habit of coming between parents & children, man & wife, etc. there just might be some lonely people on here.

  Well, yah, people are on here discussing jws

  I don't think anyone here hates them, & some of us don't even really give them too much thought.

  I'm here to encourage any teenagers that think they just aren't gonna make it, can't stomach another jw meeting. To let them know you can have a happy & successful life away from the jws.

  Obligations to Friends

  are there any?

  to restate: when is comes to being friends with someone, are you "obligated" to do certain things?

  No obligations, no strings attached. I'm in my friendships because I want to be, & vice versa. Actually liking someone makes you want to do certain things, but not with obligations.

  Is your family close??...

  by Hecklerboy in

  i was talking to a good friend of mine the other night on the phone and i was telling him about my wife wondering why my family isn't very close.

  when we started thinking about it we both decided it was because we grew up jw's.

  i would love to be closer to my family, but it just seems we have nothing to talk about.

  My dad & 2 sisters are close as can be, although we are in 3 different states now. No one really has anything to do with my inactive jw mother, except me on a sporadic basis. She sort of fostered an atmosphere of unhappiness & war while we were growing up, & now it's all good!

  We are all kind of independat as well though, no one is up anyone else's skirt, so to speak. They're all different from one another, & they're all awesome!

  Advice/Venting

  by Bubbamar in

  1. social
  2. family

  my mom sent me an email saying that she'd like to slap my sister silly for the way she(sister) has treated her (mom) all these years.. my sister was never baptised and successfully did the fade by moving to another state - so my mom can have whatever type of relationship she wants with her - based on jw dogma.

  but my sister can't stand our mom -- basically because she's crazy, mistreated us, and shuns me -- and my sister won't speak to her.

  my mom has never met my sister's kids because of the whole thing.

  P.S. Bubbamar,

  Stay calm & matter of fact, otherwise you will become a fulfillment of witchtower "prophecy". Bitter, mean apostate, blablabla. the rest of you are also too good to keep going back for more abuse.

  Bravo Miss Pink!

  This saves kids a whole lotta trouble & the ultimate dumping when Grandma Witchtower figures out the kid has been taught critical thinking & wants nothing to do with it all.

  So What Is The Point Of It All?

  we talk it to death.

  every subject.

  is it really of any benefit to you to let it out here?

  I get great satisfaction from reading, for instance, how a non-JW partner coaxed their significant other out of the clutches of the WTBTS. Or the girl dating a JW who is wondering why she hasn't been introduced to his family yet. Or the teenager who is wondering if they can make it on their own when they turn eighteen. I like to think I had something to do with that. One at a time, I am content to make a difference.

  Brilliant answer.

  Once a person is on their way to healing, they can only whine so much, they can only rail against the watchtower so much. Then it becomes about encouraging other people & living the best life you can. You never know, there might be that one person reading that you could make a difference to, or set an example for.
