  its weird...i was feeling fine all day and then all of a sudden i just feel depressed.. i'm wondering if i made a mistake divorcing my wife.

  i know i made a right decision leaving the wt, but just wonder if i should have stuck it out with her.

  not that she wanted me or anything, thats the main reason why i left.

  Hey honey,

  I know it is hard to be in a big house all by yourself. I find myself home alone alot lately, and it is depressing. From the conversations we have had and what you have told me about your wife--I know you made the right decision is leaving. You know my # if you need to talk, hey I may even let you have a word in edge wise---LOL. No seriously, if you need me I am here.

  Love ya,

  Jes

  this is probably going to be the most difficult thing i have ever written.

  but, since i dont plan on being around [here] much longer, what the hell?

  for some time now, we have discussed and expressed our outrage and horror at child molestation.

  Since the borg was drilled into me at such a young age, when I was out in service with an elder other than one of my family members--I remember many times I had to take over the confruntations at the door. I was only about 11yrs old and could stump a baptist preacher(that one stood out, not trying to say anything about baptists) on any doctrine he brought up. I had this occur alot and I was praised for it highly in my cong. I thought it was unfair that I could do that at the door but couldn't give a main talk on the TMS. I thought I was over qualified, and if I had been a male I know they would have flaunted me all over the stage with talks and demonstrations. Being female no matter how "good" they thought you were, it meant nothing but that you had to be submissive.

  first someone goes and makes a mockery of depression by saying that one can "will" oneself out of it.

  after reading that and having been in a severe depression in the past... i just about hit the roof.

  Elsewhere I am sorry to hear that.

  Lucky Lucy, it is nice that some doctors think "willing yourself or having a positive outlook" is a cure for depression. Well, it may work for some, but those who can't find the positive and need further assistance is another case. I have been in severe depression and have been fighting with it since I was 12. I was in foster care when I was 15 and 16. I was on 4 antidepressants a day and it barely kept me sane. I was in suicide mode. I didn't want to take my life, but I didn't want to live my life anymore. I had just found out I was a victim of every abuse you can name. That is alot for a 15yr old to deal with, on top of being df'd and losing all family and friends I had. All I did was eat, write poetry, and go to school. To think something positive was like asking me to walk on water. Not everyone is built the same and different things help different people. I am not attacking you in any way, but I just wanted to let you and everyone know, there is not cure all.

  i was cleaning the house and since our roommate works 3rd shift i have to do this quietly since he sleeps during the day.

  i can't have the radio blasting or the tv on really loud so i clean in silence, which tends to make the mind wonder.. here was my thought, might be dumb but here goes------------.

  the "great tribulation".

  Paduan,

  Being from a family that was made up of nothing but elders, Ms's, reg pio's, PO's, etc I am quite aware of their tactics and thinking. I was a JW since birth and came from a VERY hardcore family, you know the families that can go to any covention and the mention of their last name is a household word?? Well, that was my family. What I want to know is if the "great tribulation" is in the bible or if it is another one of the JW's myths.

  Salud,

  Thank you for your comments. I just wanted to make something clear. I don't personally see this as persecution, but I know the JW's will see it this way. They have such a long history of covering their tracks I wanted to know if this is a biblical thing of the "persecution" they think they will endure. I have not heard this from anyone else other than JW's. I know they probably didn't think it would come in this fashion, but it is criminal and they need to be held accountable--no question there!!!!!! I too have hear this referred to by JW's as persecution, it is sad how blind and programmed people can be. What next? I honestly don't want the answer to that question.

  The "great tribulation". Was this something the GB thought up to have a reason to cover anything that might be found out later. The sexual abuse scandal I am sure is viewed as persecution of the org to it's highest ranks. Many are falling away because of this and seems to be "fulfilling prophesy" for them. I am no bible scholar and haven't opened one in over a decade--except to cross-reference Franz book which has only been recently. Since I stoppped the poision of the borg at the age of 15 and that was almost 12yrs ago, I can't remember if this is actually stated in the bible as truth. I don't ever recall any other religion (I am sure there may be some) or all other religions teaching this. That is why I was wondering if this was just another tactic for the GB to cover there tracks for later yrs.

  Just a thought.

  I'm going to a birthday party!

  by glitter in

  2. friends

  my mum's best friend's daughter's 18th in november, and i'm definitely going and my sister probably is (she's out at the moment)!

  she didn't have a birthday party until this one because with me and my little sis being jw it meant two less people to go (we're more family than friends) so she missed out on birthday parties too and she wasn't even jw!.

  i just need to think of the perfect present to make up for all those years.. it official that i'm not a jw now if i go and it's a bit scary because 100% not wanting to be a jw has happened so suddenly (after finding everything out about the scandals, i was about 90% out before) - i didn't celebrate my birthday in june and i didn't celebrate my friend's birthday the week after and now i can't wait for christmas and for june to roll around again.. i'm so excited!!
