I will second this and add that, not only can we share love with multiple partners in our lifetime, we can share love with multiple partners at one time.

Most annoying and irritating comments by JWs

by whathehadas in

since i'm still suffering in this crackerjacks organization, these are some of statements that just drive me nuts.

1. in service: "we are not here to convert you" funny how jws have the true religion but resort to deception and outright lies in order to get people to listen

2. to other jws: "we won't have to deal with this in the new system" 7 billion evil doers dead and gone, no longer create problems for us

darkl1ght3r, it's nice to see that the dubs have a equal opportunity policy, allowing mentally handicapped persons to reach the status of D.O.

Told to me by a brother at Bethel: "Just do whatever the elders tell you. They've never been known to steer anyone wrong."

ive been lurking this site for quite a while but for some reason never could muster up the courage to post.. let me give a little background on my self.. i am 18 and male an still living with my parents.

i was baptised at 15 basically against my will (by cracking under the pressure) but only truly broke out of the drone like mindswhen i was 17. since then its been totall choas in my life all of it stemming from the orginization of course.

my parents are the defenition of brainwashed wittnesses, my father even belives he is anointed.. after i got baptised i suffered from intense deppression and with a little soul searching, after a year i realized that i need some time for my self.

Welcome Belly. I second all the good advice given so far. Do your best to start forging relationships with nonJWs now so you have a support system. In adition to the one you'll find here, of course.

is it the same for everyone who is an ex witness?

do we all go to bed every night of our lives detached for the human experience at a level the vast majority take for granted and enjoy everyday?

i sometimes think my inability to love was switched off at such a young age i am incapable of letting anyone else in.

How long were you in and how long have you been out, Liftsong? It's possible to find other things to fill the void. Some choose another religion. Some go back to school. Some focus on forging new relationships. Some pursue volunteer work. I've been dabbling in all four.

Give it a little time and explore your options. Find a way to express your creativity. You may be detached from the human experience right now, but you can become reattached.

Why were you baptized?

by bluecanary in

inspired by another thread.. i was baptized at 12 years old.

i had a cousin, two years older than me, who was prettier, more outgoing and more popular in the hall than i was.

i couldn't beat her at any of that stuff, but i figured i could be a better jw than she was.

"Hmmm, could Wolverine really beat Juggernaut by himself??? I suppose it would depend on what material Juggernaut's suit is made out of. Jeez, what if Wolverine had to fight Magneto by himself??? He'd be powerless... This greatly concerns me. I should get baptized."

Normally, when I type LOL I don't mean that I literally laughed "out loud." This time I do.

I felt extremely guilty because I couldn't quit masturbating. I was too embarrassed to talk about it with anyone. I just kept it inside.

PrimateDave, you have a retractable penis?

Have you ever felt

your blood boiling just below the surface, and you know you could go off on someone for any little thing?

in other words, anger with no object?

i feel that way today, and am unsure why..

About once a month.

KH Games

by cantleave in

even though my attandance at meetings is lessening, i still have to attend so as not to lose my income, friends and family.

i've started playing games to make the meetings go faster, for example, i have started annoying the hall servant by making silly requests such as asking him to turn the aircon on, then 10minutes later saying things like , "thanks for that but it looks like sister elderly is getting cold - she has just put her jumper on".

i also look for brothers and sisters who haven't got one or the books or the okm and make a real meal at getting one to them (its amazing how much noise you can make fumbling around the literature cupboard).. i am running out of ideas, can anyone else suggest something to to take the dullness out of the meetings.

Bring a notebook, pretend to be taking notes and work on a novel. Make the characters based loosely on the people around you. Perhaps a post-apocalyptic, zombie GB survival story?

The story of SD-7

by sd-7 in

who i am is inconsequential.

it's safe to say, however, that i am between a rock and a hard place.

or perhaps...a watchtower and a hard place, more accurately.. i was raised a jw--mom got baptized same day i turned 4 (in 1986), alleged that 'satan got to' me because i wanted to do fun stuff on my birthday rather than go to the convention to see her get baptized.

bluecanary

Hi sd-7, I'll be your friend. We already have some things in common. We're the same age and we were baptized in the same year. Bonafide is working as a double agent, too, so I'm sure you guys can relate to each other. Welcome to the board.
