You couldnt make some of this stuff up if you tried. Reading yall's experiences, and Im like no way, but having talked to a lot of former JW's and I can only sadly agree.

You wonder of some of these elders have such shitty lives that they feel compelled to make everybody else's life as shitty as possible.

My heart goes out to everyone that had to put up with shit like this.

Why are so many leaving?

by Dorktacular in

i've noticed as of late that quite a few people are posting "good bye" threads.... why?.

sometimes people have disagreements or arguments, but does that mean they can't remain friends or talk?.

hell, if i left my wife every time we had an argument, we wouldn't have stayed married through our honeymoon!

Voideater,

Im not gay, Im bi. But I got to admit some of the things that were said, definitely stereotyped. Hard to believe that of all the places to be singled out on, would be a former JW forum.

Truth is sometimes the abused, become the abusers.

Lots of Love (and I mean that in a non-gay, platonic, generic, kind of way, that wont get me banned from this forum).

Craziest thing you've ever been "counseled" for????

i know that this has been a popular post in the past.

but after my last post, it got me thinking.

i used to always use those stupid field service report slips as scratch paper.

Amama2six,

I cant say how sorry I am you had to endure being counseled for something that terrible. I guess by comparison my counseling session was minor.

I was counseled for giving a ride to a fellow co-worker home one day because his car had broke down. You might not believe this but I actually laughed in the elders face, and that got me another counseling session for being disrespectful.

As Much as I hate to say this,I am glad for have being a J Dub

i know this sounds crazy however being raised a jehovah's witness gave me the tools of respect for my fellow man.

also my parents had a huge role as well,of course.. i just find today there are soo many twisted people who are amused by the sickest of circumstances and pride themselves on belittling people.i mean i am the first to say.

i love funny sarcasm and making fun of the jehovah's witness religion because i believe in my heart its a crazy cult and way out in left field.

Truthseeker, you know the part of being bullied, I had to go through that soo much in high school. I could always take of myself and I wasnt scared to stand up or fight, but you just cant fight everyone that makes fun of you.

I was lucky to at least have people my own age, and for a while we did have a cool congregation but then some asshole elders took over.

Do you take Responsibility

usually the one that doesnt want to be friends anymore wont recognize his/her part in the failure.. in jg wifes thread about being friends with your ex the above comment was made.

in failed relationships it's usually both parties that share the blame.. in the past three years since my divorce i have come to except my part in the break-up of our marriage.

i have identified areas that i need to work on to be in a healthy relationship.

I like it when people give details of their realtionships, succesful or not. Makes me feel less of a freak.

SAG,

your post was deep. When it was good it was good, but when it was bad, it was really bad. I have a lot of mixed feelings about my time with the JW's.

I loved the camaraderie, and feeling of belonging. But then I hated the favoritism, and not belonging (DA'd, and such). Some of my best times growing up were with the Org, but then a lot of my confusion later in life, (sexuality, and trying to adjust to life after the Org) really made for some bad decisions, and feelings.

So I guess you could say I am probably neutral on whether or not I was glad I was a J Dub.

Defending others

by JK666 in

hey everybody,.

i have tried in the past to defend others when i thought they were being abused.. case 1: a gay poster was banned, and i lobbied to get him reinstated to this board.

eventually, he was able to come back on.

DJ_Q

JK666,

dont stop defending people you feel need some back up. It takes a pair of nuts to stand up to a mob.

I like the fact that, from what I have seen to this point, that you speak your mind. Dont quit doing this because some people dont appreciate your support. What are they going to do to you, reach over the internet and choke you or something.

Stay true.
