  even with my jw wife.....i have told her for awhile she is prob better off without me....i was party central in jwland....nobody has had me over for two years now....i guess cause i could not shut up about some real truths about the so-called truth....now i have agreed to shut up....these guys really do have a right to their own beliefs...i am very non-judgemental and always have been......i should have shut up two years ago or so...but damm......trying to fit in with your own marriage in order to save being shunned from your blood family and a very few what is left dub friends just sucks.....starting over at midlife is such a bitch.....such a bitch..........oompa.

  and ya...the fear of the unknown is really present......if all i have known is jw...i will prob not fit into real world either.

  I feel like I don't fit into the real world sometimes. Thanks to the all the brain washing I've received since I was 3. I left the borg back in 2004 when I was 24 and still have JW reactions and thoughts. I FREAKING HATE IT.

  However, I never really fit it with people at the hall. I could always see past their B.S. Life since I've left is a lot better. I don't have people gossiping about me behind my back and asking me personal questions all the time. I'm very lucky to have had only my mom in the borg when I was still going. I'm fortunate not to have to deal with my family shunning me and making me feel like crap. Plus my mom's DF'd now.

  What Has Hurt You Most About Being A Witness?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  for me, it's not having a "normal" childhood.

  being raised a jw will make you miss out on ordainary kid things.

  you can't have any friends except witnesses---and only jws that measure up.

  One thing you realize is that JWs are a very judgmental lot

  minimus- This is very true. JW's are always are the worst when it comes to judging everyone and everything. I sometimes still have to stop myself from being like that every once in a while.

  My mother had left the truth for 4 years in the early 90's. When she came back she was already remarried. He started to study and got baptized. During the next 2 years he became friends with a scumbag elder who ripped him off and told him about other people's business. This of course made him question the JW's. He eventually started to fade and started to smoke. So my mom told the elder's and they gave him a few chances to stop. He didn't so they DF'd him.

  After he got Df'd my mom, 4 yr old little sister, and I became social outcasts in the hall. The invites to gatherings stopped and invites to dinner/lunch after the meetings. A few years later my mom moved into a new KH. By that time I stopped going to the meetings. My mom ran into an sister that she knew back in the early 80's. That sister told her a few weeks later that an elder told her to watch out for my mom. "sister johnson has a DF'd husband, I would watch my association with her if I were you" is what he said.

  Were these sisters ever treated differently at your congregation???

  I saw the first Excorcist move back in 1999??? 2000?? when it was re-released in theaters. I went with a girl from the spanish hall to see it. It didn't bother/scare me....However I was bothered that some lady behind brought her toddler to see the movie.

  This year's drama of the prodigal son

  by JimmyPage in

  2. friends

  this year's prodigal son drama is like a "cult 101" class.

  if you leave "the truth" (tm) bad things will happen to you- you will end up in a car wreck because your friends will be driving drunk.

  no witnesses ever drive under the influence!

  My boyfriends mother is going to love this years drama. When we were still talking to eachother she always talked about how she really wants him to come back to the truth (we are both inactive). I guess this drama will give her some hope....too bad it won't happen.

  I'm really tired and had a long day.

  I had to work today, buy groceries, clean my apartment, wash clothes, and work out.

  I also watched Pushing Daisies tonight. ABC is showing the final 3 episodes. YAY!

  I don't feel like going out tonight. I'm just going to stay up late...catch up on my DVR and sleep in tomorrow.
