As A Former JW, Do You Feel You Should "Apologize" For Past Actions?

by minimus in

jw
friends

do you believe that you should now apologize for whatever actions you made when you were a witness?.

do you think that if you were an elder that you should contact those that might've felt oppressed by you and your "theocratic" actions?.

if you were a zealous preacher, do you now feel you should go back to your former bible students and tell them the error of your ways?.

I have apologized to my children for dragging them into cult.

New Here

by LearningMore in

i have been lurking here for a couple of months.

i was born and raised as a witness, and am a little weirded out to even be posting on here (you know the paranoia).

anyway, i faded about 10 years ago, and after reading so many posts, i am so happy that it was a pretty uneventful experience.

just joined this board, but not new to boards of this sort.. the board i favored most just changed and i haven't rejoined (mainly because it sux now).. i have heard about this board for awhile, but this is the first time i ventured in.

just kinda.

by Quirky1 in

hello all, i am just curious if there any fans of the canadian rockers out there?

i am a huge fan of aldo nova and doucette being a couple.

there are many other bigger bands or individuals i could list but don't want to ruin the fun.

Way to go! April Wine & Loverboy! Two great artists!

I seen Loverboy once but don't remember it.....It was a psychedellic evening.

Overcoming deep depression....success stories??

by oompa in

jw
friends

guys, for those who know me here, i apologize in advance for being such troublesome pain in the ass.

i have had some scary low spots these past two years, and was imo on way too many meds.

i really had a death wish for awhile, and do not want to revist that feeling.

Oompa - I've only been away from the KH for about 3 months now. At first I was depressed because of the lack of anyone to talk to(social depression) and probably a little cabin fever from the winter. But, for the last 3 years I was more depressed from going to the KH. It made me feel somewhat suicidal at times, even though I wouldn't attempt it I just thought that would be the easy way out. All the guilt trips they dish out from the platform. The stupid acts some of the witlesses put on is just sickening. Too melodramatic for me.

Since I no longer attend the meetings I have focused my energy into what I once loved to do before becoming a Witless, I work constantly. I am always doing soemthing with a hammer & nail, chain saw, rake etc...Except drywall! I hate that sh#t! I sometimes don't eat any supper and don't get in until 9:30-10PM. Take a shower and hit the hay. Up at 7AM can't wait to get to work and socialize with a bunch of nonJW's.

I Drink beer and cuss with my brothers (nonJW's). If I had more $$ I would buy a scooter (Harley or Triumph and I just sold one earlier this year because my son ran the tits off it!) and I would take some me time and cruise. Whether it's for a couple of minutes, hours or days. Anything but focus on the KH/WTBTS. The only time they come to mind is when I am here on JWD but the thinking is focused differently.

I am no doctor here and no two people are tha same but my advice is to get out and enjoy and just hope you can get the rest of your family out. I feel for you man and I hope the best for you!

PM me anytime.

Real Good News

by superman in

this must be a sign of what will lie ahead for the j-dubs (at least in the united states).

this last weekend at the special day circuit assembly i went to, not a single person got baptized (zero, zip, nada) and the funny part was that they still had to give the baptism talk because it was already in the program schedule.

hopefully people are starting to catch on and we'll have a few more "zero baptism" assemblies.

That's cool!
