Yiz,
I have also been harrassed and stalked. I understand how it makes you feel, like you are not in control.
You are doing the best you can. I'll be thinking of you and praying for you.
Peace to you tonight.

Most of the pioneers I knew, viewed Jehovah as their "boss" and apparently their boss ruled with an iron fist and an eye on the clock.
When I was pioneering, my son was 3. One day, someone did a return visit across the street from a playground, so while she went to the call I took him over and let him swing and slide for a bit. When i got back to the car, they were already back from the call and were all huffy 'cus I had "wasted" 10 minutes of service time. I didn't pioneer long after that.
How can you be happy and not tired all the time with a "boss" like that?

One young girl in our city was only baptised a few months when it was discovered she was sleeping with her brother-in-law.
She was df'ed.

i don't eat...
by highdose inas i tuck into some very nice birthday cake today i'm reminded at my many attempts at entertaining jw's over the years.
eventualy i stopped because whenever i invited someone i got told " i don't eat..." wheat, dairy, sugar, etc.
it made catering almost impossible and that was the rare poliet ones.

Well, I went vegetarian about 5 years ago. Not because I feel sorry for furry little animals, though. I was having alot of stomach problems and tried going veggie to alleviate that problem. It worked very well, plus I wasn't as tired. I eat fish and seafood, they don't seem to bother me. I am full after a meal, but not that heavy, tired, need-a-nap-now feeling of being full.
In my defense, when I'm invited out, I do eat whatever is presented to me. Even if it's meat.

What's with all the 'Imminent' nonsense?
by AK - Jeff incould it be that the proximity of 2014 is at the heart of it?.
i have no contact with jw's - except on this board - but my wife does at times with her family.
imminent is the cry of the sky for the jw's it seems.. i recall the years leading up to 1975 with a lot of that sort of thing.

My Story
by ~Jen~ ini was raised a jw by very strict parents who, in my early teen years were physically and then later emotionally abusive all the while with my dad being and elder (and he still is).
i didn't want to be a jw then but my life was all about making my parents happy which started with me being baptized at 13. my parents constantly drilled into my head that most things were "bad" and i was "bad" i constantly did whatever i could to avoid being bad.
i had no life but then met a nice jw boy when i was 17. against my better judgement, i stayed with him and married him when i was 20. i didn't have a lot in common with him but he was really nice and was safe - he was a witness and even though i wanted to be in the world so bad i chose to be with him because he would keep me grounded, in the truth and away from where i really wanted to be because it was the right thing to do.. we were married for 7 years and have 3 sons.. for the past few years i've known that i did not want to be a jw even more and was sick of being fake.

Whats up with all those crazy people who have begun posting here?
by bohm init seem to me that over the relative little time i have been here there has been a dramatic increase in crazy people, ie.
people who think they are god, create alternative profiles just to distract, write incoherent bullshit in all-caps, bring up the same tired paranoid rants again and again, etc.
now i dont doubt that many of these people really need professional help, and perhaps having a lot of people from here doing a mix of rediculing them and trying to convince them to see a doctor will eventually help them, but i feel that its something which distract the focus from those who have something coherent to say, and those who are sincere in asking for help.

I'm not crazy, either. Just new.
Well, maybe a little bit crazy, but in a fun, quirky, "Let's take her to the pub tonight" kind of way.

Status: Compromised. Not much time left.
by sd-7 insomething terrible happened.
i did something to compromise myself and unfortunately my double agent status is over.
i will soon have to move out on my own and either disassociate or face an invasive witch trial that i honestly would only take part in for the purpose of secretly recording it.

Good luck. I felt lots of relief after my announcement, hope you do too.
