My JW parents met my wife, but would not see me...
by Confession in
1. jw
2. experiences
so it was time for the 25 year reunion of tawas area high school's class of '84.

because i was class president, i've been responsible for throwing all the reunions we've held.

while i come to michigan on business a few times per year, i don't usually make it all the way up to the little, northeast, lake huron tourist town where they live.

What the Family Worship Evening Arrangement Really Entails
by cantleave in
1. jw
2. friends
as most people here know the combined book study allows an evening for "family worship".. the co visits march - august 2009 is really focussing on this.

if a jdub family head doesn't do a full evening of family worship and uses this time to do recreational activities he is as guilty as isrealite who didn't use the sabbath for worship.

the result, will of course be same as the unfaithful isrealite, death!!!!!!!!!

i hated it.

we actually never really did.. once, on vacations, we were with another family, they prepared food on the table for breakfast .... and then nobody could touch it for some 15 minutes, when daddy was reading daily text and asking childish questions ... family members were raising hands and answering .... we all were hungry... watching the food ... and hoping it will soon be over (i dont mean armageddon, i mean daily text...) i felt just like an idiot..... albert.

Therapy?
by BirdFood in
1. jw
2. friends
i was just curious how many ex-jw's are in therapy to work through the shunning, family issues, bad experiences while still in, etc.

i go every other week, and sometimes i feel like it's helpful, and other times i feel like it doesn't really change anything and wonder if it's even worth going.

it's not horrible, but it's not really enjoyable to go either and sometimes i feel like my therapist just doesn't understand the manitude of the situation.

2. friends
hi, i finally created an account, although i have been lurking (here and on jwd) for about 2 years.

i just wanted to say hi and introduce myself.

i wasn't able to fade as gracefully as some here have been able to do, so i lost all of my jw friends and family.
