just back from lunch and met two different former good friends from my congregation (i live in a small town) and they, of course, turned their backs on me... and it makes me feel strange and bad even though they're the ones who should really feel bad.... how can i learn to ignore it??.
makes me both sad and angry at the same time.
grrrr.

Makes me both sad and angry at the same time....coz like babygirl puts it...they're thinking I'm the one to pity and the one who've messed up!! Why should I feel ashamed?? I HATE THAT! Who do they think they are?? Oh yeah, that's right, God's chosen people
GRRRR

in another thread, creativhoney said:.
the bible says there is no greater gift than you lay down your life for another, the bible refers to blood as life.
i conclude we should all give blood.. and chalam replied:.
I'll donate for the first time on Monday
how many times we had heard from jw (commenting on christmass, mothers day or bithdays) "they dont need a pecial day set to give gifts, because the can give it on any day" .... but whats your experience if you compare jw and non jw ... are they really giving?.
my sons (7) example:.
he has non jw grandparents: gets all kinds of gifts all the time, sweets, magazines, toys,.
My JW family, while growing up, had one day of giving gifts every year
That was something we as kids appreciated.
But other wise I think that's just something JW says to cover up their behavior....
that fat, sloppy, nasty b*tch is the one person on this earth i cannot stand.
yes...i said it... i cannot stand my own sister!
the girl is bpd (borderline personality disorder) and so she technically is mentally ill - but it makes her a terribly vindictive and hateful person.
That really stinks bgirl
hello everyone.. after many months of lurking through my the worst time in my life and then not reading any posts since the website changed hands, i just wanted to say hello!.
all the stalwarts on here helped me so much through the worst times (born in, left when i was 34) i was too emotional to ever comment, but now i am ready to help others start to rebuild their worlds.. i just want to give all those doubters of that religion hope and help now that i have gone full circle- hence my user name.
there is lots to say, but i will join in and you will get to know me.. for anyone that is in turmoil with worry over whether to leave or not, i can empathise, but it will be the best decision you ever make!.
Dear gfc
WELCOME & CONGRATS!!
I was also born in and left last year at 34y old...unfortunately had to leave my husband at same time who's still in but we had other problems as well. I'm happy you and your husband has managed to stick together.
This has been the best time in my llife!!!!!
I finally know what freedom and happiness is and so will you. It's wonderful to be among so many friends here.
Best of luck and I look forward to hearing more from you...
hugs

i was loosely allied with the jws thru my teens after my mum studied with them, finally getting baptized at 30. no one else in my family went, my mum had stopped, i used to hang around on the edge at meetings,mainly ignored.once an elder came over and reproved me for having a little coloured sticker on my bible to distinguish it from all the other identical ones.
once a sister offered to give me a lift out on the work, then another sister, an elders wife, came and said i couldnt go because her daughter needed the lift.
theres a lot more, it was totally a clique.
Welcome! I'm very happy for you. You're in a much better place now. Enjoy life!!!

Don't think I'd fancy a redneck mocha...
But this is interesting...everyone is very picky about their coffee
