I know you are right. I suffer depression really bad at time and I know it is because of the relgion. I feel like I can never please anyone right. No matter what or how you say or do things I always feel like I am not good enough. My husband wants me to keep going and when you are in it you cannot see the damage but when you can step back you see it. You are right

You point on if you have been raped or molested should you not say anything. Yes that is how they totally feel. I was in fact just told that two weeks ago. I just need to think happy thoughts and I must not ever read the WT and Awake on child abuse because I am allowing Satan in. That was by an CO. How crazy

I am just stuck on the fact that you could not walk you daughter down the aile. Why? My dad was the worst dad ever in so many ways. I mean he ran around undressed in front of me and kept the door open when he was doing things to himself that a child should not have know about but when I got married I could have had him walk me down aile. There was no way that I wanted him to even touch me much less walk me down the aile. He was no dad to me as a little girl so he would not play that part at my wedding. But I could have at the KH had him walk me down the aile. It just blows me away the unfairness of this religon. Sorry about that I know it is painful because it bothered my dad that I chose not to have him. I walked down by myself I felt no one cared that I was abused as a child so I was by myself and I will alwasys be by myself.

I just felt so sorry to hear that. vs77

after years of fighting a physical disability that ended in kidney failure and several bouts of respiratory/cardiac arrestmy mom landed in the hospital last week.

the doc's said she needed heart surgery and kidney transplants but before they could operate they need to get her blood count back up.

it had fallen well below what her body could naturally restore on its own she she needed transfusions.

Please read condemnatory email sent to me and help me reply

by AndersonsInfo in

i received the following emails, one yesterday and the other today and thought you'll like to see an example of the positive and the negative messages i regularly receive through webmaster at my website, watchtower documents, llc, www.watchtowerdocuments.com.. .

here's the negative message:.

"i must say that after reading your biography, i am shocked.

verystupid77

she is SCARED because she fears YOU are the one who has the TRUTH. She is struggling to make most of her words and sentence structure "Watchtower-speak"... she is frightened of her own doubts. I'm sorry you have to read this sort of thing everyday, but this one actually sounded like it had potential to me.

Barbara I am so sorry you have to read these emails but I agree with this poster. I really think she is scarred. I can so clearly remember being a teenager and having doubts but talking myself out of them and staying in. How I wish I had gotten out then. Now at 45 years of age I have to face it is not the truth. If she can do it now how much better for her. I really think she is looking for something.

I really really am so thankful for you and Jo. Please do not let this kind of email get you down just relize how much good you have done. You have helped so many please never forget that.

I really enjoyed talking to you the other day. You made my day that day. I for one am so thankful for you. Please keep up all that you do. vs77

JWs say its impossible for "worldly people" to be happy

by shopaholic in

i've had 3 different jws tell me this over the past few weeks.

basically their thinking is non-jws are not happy and when they appear to be its not real, its not a true happiness.

according to them, non-jws use drugs, alcohol and wild sex to make themselves happy.

verystupid77

Hi, I just wanted to bump this thread up. I totally agree that JWs are not happy. I have been one my whole life there is so much that I have seen that it has caused me such depression. Oh my word could I go on. It is so hard to see hateful things happening and not to be able to stop it. I am told just leave it alone Jehovah will take care of it, or it is not Jehovah's time to take care of it, or you do not want to run ahead of Jehovah, or the elders who Jehovah has placed their. You need to trust the elders, Jehovah is using them and when really bad things happen and nothing is done then people get really hurt and I come back and ask why was something not done, first I am told I do not know my place well not really told but I know I am just a dumb woman and than I am told to let it go. Just let it go let it go let it go. Jehovah must have been teasting that person. YOU NEED TO LET IT GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am like this person is so hurt and bleeding and it did not have to happen why did it happen the elders knew. Well only Jehovah knows why he allows things to happen there must be a reason. Their reasoning is so insane it just drives you crazy. It is so crazy making.

The people I work for are all happy for the most part way happier than most JW's I know. They have good lifes and they do not sleep around their kids are happy way happier than most JW's I could go on and on. When I tell my husband that he says well the people you work for are not normal. What I have worked for about 35 different familes and not one suffers the sadness I do. I am so sad it is unreal and it is just so insane his reasoing. I am in the HAPPY religon right. No I am in the insane religion It is so insane it makes me mad.Well I am done venting but this is so crazy making I could just scream.

Do any of you in, actively try to get people out?

however, sometimes i have a tendency to say to much.

one of these days i'm gonna get in trouble for it again... i just recently told my sil that the blood thing doesn't bother my conscience.

i told another close friend that i was relieved my husband was no longer reaching out to be an ms because i didn't want to have to deal with the pressure all the time.

verystupid77

It is so totaly insane how they think. I am fading and was talking to a sister this last weekend about the new book study she just went on and on about how kind the brothers were for giving us an ext night. I could not believe what she was saying. I had to stop her when se went on about how they did not want us to spend money on gas they were looking out for us but how could they have known that gas would go down instead of up. What I thought Jehovah talked to them they should have know right? Oh my word did she even hear herself. I just said well how come they did not care about the poor brothers who went through swamps and battled crocodiles or walked 3 hours one way though flooding rivers balancing their clothes and shoes on their heads and you are trying to tell me that they stoped the book study for us rich people becasue of gas. That makes no sense. Her eyes glazed over and she quit talking but I know I did not reach her. How oh how can they be so dumb.

Shop you are right on. Oh how many fights I have had with my husband over this kind of thinking. Only JW's are happy but most are so depressed it is unreal. Or they are crazy. And I mean crazy. I often think what in the world the poor householder at the door must be think having this person who makes no sense talking to them about God, and wasting their time.

I just do not understand how they think they have the truth and feel that everyone is going to die from their God of love. It is just oh so unloving thinking. vs77
