My heart goes out to you, Jen. I believe that there are many here who can absolutely relate to your situation and feelings, and offer some reassurance. I believe that it does get better, and look forward to that myself!
Big hugs to you!

How Good Was/Is Your Singing Of The Kingdom Songs?
by finallysomepride inmine, this is self explanitory, i hated it & just moved my lips but nothing came out..

Not terrible, but like most people I do not have the range to deal with most of the kingdom songs. As far as the new ones are concerned... I wouldn't know.

Did You WANT To Talk To Disfellowshipped People?
by minimus indid you at least want to say "hi"?
or did you avoid them like the plague?.
-

zoiks
I wanted to. I always felt bad and uncomfortable having to shun them, especially friends of mine. Especially those friends who were disfellowshipped partially due to my testifying against them because I thought that it was the right thing to do. I have some apologies to make.

weird ginger doll in great teacher book. -
by creativhoney inanyone else noticed it?

Yep it's definitely Raggedy Ann. Obviously she's possessed by demons and told the girl to lie to her mother (page 121), lured the pedo into the kid's room (page 171) so that the kid and her family would be disfellowshipped while the pedo simply switches congregations, and is now happily biding her time in paradise having destroyed all those lives.
Cue twilight zone music again!

Seeking those who still wish to be JW's.
by Pineapple ini am not a jw basher.
i still love my brothers and sisters in the truth.
2 years ago i was kicked out because i am gay.

Hi Pineapple,
Welcome. A very close family member that I love dearly is gay, and it breaks my heart when other members of the family assume that Jehovah will destroy her for it.
I can only imagine what you have been through. I hope that you are able to find true peace and happiness, whatever happens.

Holy spirit making its first mistake
by stillin9 inwell, it seems like that the holy spirit is making its first mistake!
they want to appoint me as a ministrial servant!
i wonder if that means that apostasy while being apointed as a ms is okay?!

Don't accept. Your conscience will not leave you alone, and they make it difficult to "step down" once you're in.

What did you look like as a JW?
by highdose ini was going through some old photos today, i found one of myself when i was a devout jw.
it was really shocking!
i'm so thin, my cheeks are hollow, i'm as white as the wall behind me, i'm standing hunched over, and in my eyes you can see real misery.

Validation and defense mechanisms, or why it's ok for billions to die
by zoiks inmore and more i have been thinking about the mindset that considers the idea that billions are to be destroyed at armageddon as perfectly ok. farkel's articles on freeminds.org really helped to bring it home for me.
as jws, we do (or did) think it was perfectly reasonable that billions will have earned a death sentence simply for not accepting religious literature from an uninvited person at their doorstep.
how do otherwise good people (for the most part) come to accept genocide as an acceptible, even good, solution to the problems they see and experience?.

"Spirituality" Part of JW Jargon?
by greenie inthis is something i've heard lately.
i have a feeling like other seemingly innocuous words, that this one actually has special meaning in jw speak.
or am i wrong?

Yep, good ol' JW spirituality. The ability to recite the perfect comment at the WT study; the willingness to take a low-paying menial job so as to have more timre for field service; the intimate knowledge of and ability to use all of the "pure language" in a conversation; the willingness and fortitude to stop speaking with DFd family members; did I mention those WT study comments?
Oi.
