DJS,
You are a dick, but on this thread you are truly out-dicking yourself.

63A great suggestion from a current Bethelite on the chopping block
by Gilbeath Haaraloth ina very close friend of mine has gotten his letter.
although he was planning to leave willingly, he told me that he can't help but feel a sense of being stabbed in the back by a bunch of self righteous traitors.
he gave tours for years, always telling the visitors "this is the best way of life, i would never change anything here and i'll never regret making this decision to come here.

Travel recommendations?
by stephanie61092 inhey guys.
i've decided that during this time of being dfed, maybe trying to get reinstated, i'm going to enjoy my time with myself.
that being said, i would like to do some traveling when the weather warms up across the us.

One thing that might be enlightening would be to go to the apostafest at Lake Tahoe in July. Beautiful scenery too.

Good idea or bad idea?
by stephanie61092 infirst and foremost, thank you so much to so many of you who have reached out to me over the past few days since my post on sunday.
i'm not totally in the best mental state, however, i do have a very small amount of people that i can lean on for support.
i relayed my feelings to a friend (my only friend, really), who took the initiative to inform my family.

As for therapy, it would be good to find someone with experience with exiting cults.

Finally posting and I'm FRUSTRATED!!!
by stephanie61092 inokay, i'm about to engage in a major word vomit.
just giving you fair warning as your time may be better spent somewhere else.. so, i'm sitting on my lunch break, bawling my eyes out, and writing on this forum to people i don't know yet probably have a great deal in common with but at the same time, used to scare the daylights out of me.
for years, i would come across this forum and 'lurk' awhile if you will, or see things on youtube.

Steph,
Just remember: the best thing about beating your head against the wall, is how good it feels when you stop!
Hang in there, it will get better.

I may be the only person to wear a Dead Kennedys tee shirt while rehearsing for a drama. I was always a rebel.

Where do I start telling a psychologist about the mental trauma I feel as a fading jw?
by Simple Minds ini am on a pension, so i could not afford to pay for a psychologist, but my good doctor referred me to a free clinic for people on a low income, for my anxiety and depression, so i have finally got my first appointment with a psychologist since i started my fade, so where do i start trying to explain the mental trauma i feel as a fading jw?
i would appreciate your advice.
simple .

Tell them you left a cult, and are probably suffering from Compound PTSD.
That would be a good starting point.
Good luck,

It was fun singing (screaming) with OTWO on the loneliest road in Nevada with the top down on the Jeep.

One funny thing is that I taught my mom to say cool stuff. I told her if I ever asked her who her favorite group was, to just say "The Rolling Stones." It really gave her street cred at my hall. That is until she messed it up once and said "The Rolling Rocks." So she got beer confused with it, they were both good.
JK
P.S. I just asked her again and got "The Rolling Rocks."

I had some of the same shit but later.
I listened to music like you did. In fact we would have Dub kid parties and played it on the loudspeakers, Zep, Black Sabbath, Elton, Jethro Tull, etc. No elders ever went ice skating so no repricussions.
Later on, I had an eldumb that bought a new car with an 8 track player. He asked if he could borrow an 8 track to play. Figuring he would be a douche nozzle, I loaned him Jeff Beck (an instrumental). He still busted my chops because one of the songs was "Constipated Duck."
Total assholes they are. By the way, I am going to see Jethro Tull with OTWO in April.
