I think, that since I left the cult, I've finally learned to love myself. When you're a JW you never feel good enough, there's always someone better and who's doin more and god don't think you're good enough etc etc. and then they had the nerve to tell me I was laying all that guilt on myself??

I know I'm a better person now. That I'm good and lovabl, (and if there is a god he may also be happy with me).

It's a nice feeling.

Love ya!

my parents have big problems in their marriage and my mom is now planning to leave my father.

i feel i have to be strong for their sake but i don't live near them unfortunately...we've been a tight family and it's very sad to see the family split after so long.

i left my marriage and the cult last year, my sister treats me as if i'm dead and no man wants me.... sometimes i'm so tired of having to be strong.

Newborn

thanks Flipper and tt for your love

Did you ever think you would end up here?

meaning... on this website, no longer a jw or at least no longer beliving anymore?

i never did, even 18 months ago it would have seemed impossible, unthinkable.

even though looking back the seeds of doubt had been sown for some time, i just never allowed myself to think about them... vvv dangerous thing to do!.

Newborn

No way. I would have believed this place was the tool of Satan himself.

i thought i,d be struck by lightening, felt very very very guilty!! Now i,m so glad i did

Exactly how I felt too...now I can only laugh abt it

He says he can only be my friend...

...for now.... i'm not sure i can be his friend, but we agreed to watch a movie together again on sunday.

he apparently wants to have contact with me but it's up to me if i want it under these circumstances.. i think it's too soon to say after only two dates, but he's obviously scared to encourage me or promise me more than he can give at present.. but friendship can develop to something else can't it??

i know he likes me a great deal!.

Newborn

Love it!!
