I love the taste! And there's nothing more relaxing for me than having a cup to enjoy in the mornings. Something comforting about it. I also love the energy it gives me before a run lol.

We dated 2 years from our first date to the date of our wedding - so about a year and a half before the proposal. Where I lived as well it was the general idea that you dated 6 months. I had so much pressure from very emotionally abusive parents - trying to manipulate me into believing that he didn't love me and because he hadn't proposed after 6 months that he was just using me. This led to to "rebel" and even though I knew he wasn't the right one, I still stayed with him and married him to "prove" them wrong and show them that he really did love me - even though I didn't love like I should have. Oh the mistakes we make...

Most people who are not JW's live with out moral restrain! All who have left the "Truth" regret it. June 15th WT
by life is to short inin the june 15th wt it says on page 9 i will just write it out as it is to hard and unbelievable to preface this.
so here it is.. "many who today are members of the christian congregation can tell you that before learning of and adopting jehovah's righteous standards, they lived without moral restrain.
yet, they were unsatisfied and unhappy.

Good Thread! On 1 of the 2 occasions that I've talked to my mother since I left she commented about hoping that I'd soon realize how unhappy I really was and come back. When I told her that I was the happiest I had been in years the phone went silent. When she finally did speak she was completely confused. The borg tells everyone how unhappy people are when they leave so for some of them to hear that no, I actually am happy and this was the best decision I've ever made - they honest to god just can't wrap their head around it.

How many of you were baptised at a young age?
by lepermessiah inone thing this site has made me reflect on the baptism practice in jw land.. many of us were raised in the religion, thus you were given the pressure early on to shoot for baptism as a goal.. i remember feeling bad because i waited until the ripe old age of 14 to take the plunge.. looking back, i realize that when i was 14, i didnt even know what my favorite color was, let alone have enough knowledge to make a life altering decision.
yet, growing up in that climate, i would say anyone who waited past their early teens to get baptised was viewed with great suspicion and was likely to be viewed as "bad association".
kids who took the dip at 8-9 years of age were viewed as "wise beyond their years" and the like.. how old were some of you when you were baptised, and what are your feelings on the matter?.

I was 13. I got baptised to make my emotionally and physically abusive mother happy. In hindsight I had no idea what I was doing, only that at the age of 13, I just wanted her to love me :(

When you fully believed it was the truth .
by Broken Promises indid you intend to leave your estate to the wts when you died?.
in several threads ive read, ppl make comments to the effect that theres no point leaving money to jws, because they would just leave the money to the wts anyway.. .
this is an assumption that i believe is a generalisation.. .

Never. We rarely donated any money as it was.

Dubs - Paradoxes From Hell
by Farkel indubs - paradoxes from hell.
jesus said his yoke was kindly and light.. dubs brag their religion is the "hardest religion in the world.".
the bible tells children to honor their parents.. the wts tells children to betray their parents.. if dubs really live in a "spiritual paradise," why do their lives have to be threatened to stay in it?.

Thank you sd-7, I appreciate you telling me what you've been through. I think I've finally realized that I DO need to be alone and get myself together before I can ever meet anyone who will be right for me. It's just getting to the point where I can let go of my insecurities and be confident that I CAN do it on my own, you know?

Thanks so much. Adiva - I just posted in the meetup section.
I think I do know that life will get better but I just wonder when. I have so much stress right now and am so scared of being completley on my own and making the wrong decision.
Both of the ex's want me back - my ex husband is telling me he loves me and sends me texts of "remember this...remember that". I feel like I don't have the strength to just tell him to leave me alone because I can't handle this right now. I'm scared to tell him that I'll never be coming back to him and then be alone forever.
My ex boyfriend is calling me giving me updates on his baby mama and their custody situation. Like WTF? I almost *almost* feel like everyone was right about this world eating me alive.
