  Newly fading and having morbid thoughts about dying....is that normal?!

  by 2pink in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been having doubts for years about the org, but it's mostly been just the past couple of months that it's really all unravelled for me.

  i'm at that stage now where i don't know what i believe about anything...esp about what happens when you die.. and maybe it's just cause i never had to think about death before (was always countin' on that resurrection in paradise earth!

  ), but lately i can't stop thinking about it!

  After leaving the Borg you will have time to think more clearly about what you choose to believe about death and

  everything else the jws are teaching you now and in the past.

  Hang in there.

  I agree with Big Tex.That it is natural to think about death after leaving.

  Everyone processes the thought of death in their own way and time.

  I am still forming my own beliefs and like the freedom I now have to do so.

  I have the same feelings now. Know that you are not alone. I have been seeing a counselor it does help to talk about it.

  You might want to give it a try. Some days are better than others.

  Have you Overcome Guilt & Fear Since Exiting Jehovah's Witnesses ?

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  minimus had a great thread recently asking if any who were witnesses felt guilt as a jehovah's witness.

  thought i would build on that a little dealing with how you have moved on after being a jehovah's witness ?.

  one definition of guilt in the american heritage dictionary is : " self-reproach for supposed inadequacy or wrongdoing ".

  No, I feel fear because gossip can still get around and has been a source of

  guilt it can produce in me at times. A lot of sick dubs out there.

  I have been working on overcoming these issues though. hope to be able to get over these feelings someday. I still feel their hatered for me

  but, I am not going to let it destroy me. I am so happy to be out of that cult. Am still able to get on with the healing with this site and making new

  friends - non dubs.

  Burning literature (pics) and police called on Snakes :P

  by SnakesInTheTower in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so for some time i have been threatening to burn my remaining watchtower literature.

  i had gotten rid of two bookcases worth via a thread or two here, mailing it to various jwders for (hopefully) nefarious purposes.

  i was down to one last 32 gallon rubbermaid container.

  i almost panicked!

  i definitely want to talk the jws if they ever come to my door (no one knows me in this area) but i'm not ready yet!.

  The Mormons do and I just hope they don't know some jws and start to gossip about you. Please be careful.

  Be careful , I had my door open and two mormon guys were standing there and one of them showed me a tract

  They could see that I had company and I took the tract. They came back later and I said that I read it and if I had

  any questions I would talk to a family member about their beliefs. One snapped at me with is he a jw?!!

  I said no and they said oh. and smiled and left my porch. Some one in my apartment must have told them that I was a witness because I never told

  them. So much for the fading. Hope they will be nicer with you. Thought the whole thing was kindof funny afterword. Try to keep a open mind.

  I want to do volunteer work - this is classic

  by heybaby in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it has always bothered my how witnesses are discouraged from doing volunteer work because "preaching to them about the truth is the best thing we can do!

  " ok, yeah, whatever.

  it's true that the bible talks about preaching as being important for christians, but that's far from being the only thing that christians are encouraged to do for their fellow humans.

  hey baby

  NOBODY is talking about solving the problems of the entire world; I'm just talking about doing what is within my power to help those that I can. It's like saying to someone with the flu "these pills won't cure the flu, they'll just ease the symptoms, so it's not worth taking them." That's freakin' ridiculous!! The flu will get cured in it's own time, but nobody would rightly object to getting a bit of relief while you're waiting for it to happen

  How long do they really continue helping some one in need. They always have to get back into the field.

  How do you think that makes the person in need feel?

  I do a lot of vounteer work and I found that is more rewarding than any time I spent

  going out in the door to door work. What happened to the good smaritan that they preach about in the door to door work? I say go for it.
