  Shunning,, let's twist the knife in a little deeper now !

  by man in black in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this morning i took my dog who is a therapy dog over to the hospital and visited with several patients.

  it is quite an experience, and it really helps people undergoing medical treatment to calm down and relax.. my wife was one of those patients, she is undergoing some tests before getting her gall bladder removed which will probably be sometime tomorrow.. afterwards i took the dog home, cleaned her up, and changed my clothes.

  since i was alone i drove over to panara to try one of their breakfast sandwiches, several of the nurses told me that they are pretty good.

  After geting over the the initial shock of being shunned, I kind of enjoy it, because they are more uncomfortable than you are.

  Necessary business with Disfellowshipped ones

  by Quarterback in

  i was reading our study article for next week's wt study there is a subheading in there about treatment of disfellowshipped ones.

  in one paragraph they slam the term, "necessary business" when dealing with a family member who is df'd.. this is so confusing.

  in one hand they have coined that phrase "necessary business" with relatives that have df relatives.

  As a disfellowshipped person, the only "necessary business" my sisters have with me is when they WANT SOMETHING! Greedy pricks.

  it's my birthday today, sept 19. i was born in 1972. .

  i find it interesting that so many people i know post a "happy birthday" on my facebook page.

  all of those years inside the wts org., and i always thought birthdays were evil, pagan, god dishonoring.

  the little demo at the ca showed a young fella meditating and by golly he reasoned that october had an extra weekend so that was reason enough for him to put in a a pioneer application.

  what a brilliant idea.. who else will be doing this?.

  ODIBF,

  Sorry about being blindsided like that. I know it feels like a kick in the taco.

  I suggest that you try to develop a network of friends on the outside of the congregation. Go to meetups and apostafests, and make some of your virtual friends here real and tangible friends in real life. Get phone numbers and talk to others in the same situation.

  Did YOU Change In Your Personality After You Left The Organization?

  we knock a lot of things about the witnesses.

  i wonder if we're really all that much different in our personalities as exjws.. .

  I don't believe that my personality changed after leaving the JW's. What changed was my worldview.

  After finding out that it was not the true religion, I first was overcome with a wave of anger, that they could make moral judgements about me while they were sleeping with the UN. Then a wave of peace came over me because it was the first time in my life that I had no morbid dread of Armeggedon.

  After that I had to reevaluate everything that I thought I knew. I started with "Is the sky really blue?" Then I went on to adjust my viewpoints on everything with an open mind.

  I always felt like a square peg being pounded into a round hole as a Witness. I think it was because I had a personality.

  Ugly people and crimes.

  by Lore in

  2. friends

  i like to think that i'm perfectly rational at all times.. so in the interest of making myself more awesome i'd like to admit to and try to to fix a prejudice i think i may have.

  but i'd also like to make sure it's not grounded in reality.. .

  so earlier i saw a story about a woman who killed her baby in the microwave.
