i'm afraid of people and ive really tried for fifteen years the rational part of mind keeps telling me im being stupid i've worked with these people for seven years i trust them there all really really kind none of them have done anything to harm me and when i'm at work and hanging around them i'm fine and happy and talkative but the moment i get into a situation where i have too be socalable i start having panic attacks and i cant breathe i tried talk to my dad (non jw parent) he told me to get over it that i've been out fifteen years and i cant blame my mothers religion for everything.

i'm starting too wonder if thiers somthing wrong with me!

the worst part is while the rational part of my brain is telling me my reations stupid the irrational part of brain is screraming and my hearts beating so fast i cant feal or control my reations.

2. experiences
as it's cristmas i've been thinking of my loved ones and friend's who are still jw'sand then i thought about ruth and how she is forrgotten so i wrote this for her.

the best friend i ever had.. ruth was a jehovahs witness just as i was and even in my oldest memories of her she was old.

not surprising since when i was sixteen she was in her late eightys.

Calling all Americans!!!
by LucyA in
1. jw
2. friends
why are americans so paranoid about the government?.

please understand im in no way trying to be disrespectful to your country im just trying to understand why their seams to be an outcry every time someone mentions the government legislating over something eg healthcare.

although i dont trust our pollies i would never withdraw my support without at least reading the legislation first.

Just had really funny conversation with an elder!
by LucyA in
1. jw
2. friends
my mother doesn't even try and broach the subject of me becoming a jw anymore because she knows i wont speak to her for months if she tries.

what she does do is get the elders to call me.. an elder just called me as i was downloading some evidence of evolution and happened to mention this to him and he said and i quote.

"oh you dont need to research crap like that i already did and the whole theory is crap" thats it no evidence to back up the statement he just made he just expected me to agree.
