it s me again....and yes, i m still alive.. first of all: i am really sorry for causing some trouble lately.
i had the intention of taking an overdose the other day.
to be perfectly honest, i was drunk out of my mind when i wrote my last post, and someone i knew gave me all kind of pills to take.
So glad you are here and ok. varian you had us all upset and scared for you. I also prayed for you, everyone here cares for you and will support you, so many on here are where you are or have been there. We all have our down times.
Sending you lots of hugs. [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ HUGS ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]

Thanks terry, the two books The Divine Plan of the Ages and The Finished Mystery a helping hand for Bible students should have read 'a controlling hand'.
i am been shunned by the rest of the jw family, and feel that to make a point when my dad dies my family( ex jw ) will not be going to the service at the kingdom hell.
we need to get our own back on these morons in the family and see how they like been shunned for not going to weddings and receptions in the family sod them all.. .
h.h.g .
I am dreading this, I don't even think anyone in our family will even tell us if anyone dies, we will probably find out after they have had the funeral. It is all so surreal.

i have lurked for a few weeks, and gathered that a bit of background is expected; understandably.
i'm from a reasonably dysfunctional family, and my brother married a really nice lady who was "studying" with the jws.
over the years i saw this independent, funny lady change.
Hi Retro welcome so glad you were not taken in, thanks for sharing your story. I hope you will be able to help your SIL to start thinking for herself. It's interesting how you said you noticed her changing over the years. Being a JW supresses and controls you. I found it such a freeing experienced when my mind finally left. You can leave physically but it is not until you are mentally free that you really leave.
Thats why I like coming here because only others that have been JW's really understand what that is like. I hope you can understand and learn from everyone here.
Look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Welcome Botz. I am so glad you are thinking for yourself and questioning, and hats of to you for apologizing, please take the advice about CoC my husband and I wish we had read the book twenty years ago but we were too afraid.

glad to be in a place where people understand.
i guess i'll be seeing you all around.
Hi TM welcome great to have you here, your aunt must be over the moon, there is so much pain on this board and every one shares their stories and supports each other.
Look forward to getting to know you. RosePetal
...when my beloved sister will call me and say " hey sis, you were right, i'm also leaving the borg for good!!
now we can make up for all this lost time and enjoy life together as we should".. i just can't give up thinking that this will come true.. i just miss her too much... and i can't imagine how it must feel for those of you who's lost your children.
.
My heart so goes out to you Newborn, it hurts to read your words, I hope and pray with all my heart your wish comes true, as sylv said we have just got to hang in there and have faith.

a little background before my recap of my conversation.
my father left my mom and i when i was young, like before i was 5. so i didn't know him other than a couple images i had of him in my head.
i don't have any bad feelings towards him, even though he cheated on my mom and took 20 years to pay back child-support.
You are so right S77 it is so frustrating when our families cannot see the mind control, like you it makes me so angry and frustrated, when some of us are seeing it so clearly, and they are not. We just have to patient and hope they do. It does sound like your father is starting to wake up.
I have had a few instances the last few months with family that have hit home the cruelty and hurt of the mind control, I have been so upset and shaken. So it is so comforting to share how we feel with each other and that we are not alone. Sometimes just when I think I am getting on with my life something happens to remind me of the control of the Org. over our family.
it's great we can all have a good vent. I wish you and your dad all the best. Good luck
