I know this is going to be one of the hardest things you've ever had to deal with. You won't be able to get through to them so please don't waste your breathe. Just stay high above them and focus on you and your families happiness. Ignore all of the uncalled for things that may come out of their mouths tonight. Please TRUST me with everything I say. Me and everyone here are your support.

Let slip the dogs of war...
by sd-7 inthe calm before session 2 of borg court is a chilling one.
quietly, our units go about their duties, but deep down, they're wondering: can we match swords with the very powers-that-be?
we are fighting against mount olympus itself, the elders, the organization--with our beloved wife and child looking on.

metal health problems in the organisation
by looloo infor "the happiest people on earth" i found so many folk in the cong had depression or suffered with "nerves and axiety" there was one lad who was due to go and "work" in bethel and changed his mind at the last minute and spent nearly all his time on his computer in his bedroom from then on (he must of been on this site !he apparently "went schitsophrenic(dont know how to spell it sorry ) as did his sister and his poor mum was probably the most dedicated dub in the cong but was considered as a bit "bonkers" by all in the cong .
there were 3 elders i know of who had depression and many rank and file , i must admit it did make me question how "happy "being a dub would make me when i was a study and voiced my concerns i was told satan was trying to get them out the truth so they were depressesed or some rubbish like that , but i was also told that people who leave the truth are depressed because they dont have the truth !
you cant have it both ways !

I'm so sorry to hear about your child being abused! Thats terrible. It's sad to say but it seems every religion has their crazys, even the one that professes to be the one and only "True" religion. I've experience the same thing with depression in the halls. My brother as one example attempted suicide twice and was hospitalized both times. He was ready to walk away and finally leave the JWs but met a girl and got married now he's stuck. I'm not going to lie and say I wasnt depressed at times. It was horrible never being good enough and costantly being compared to the bethalites in the hall. I think the religion may attract people who NEED to believe in something, anything. People who cannot think for themselves and would much rather be controlled then allow themselves the freedom of being happy.

nightmares after leaving
by myownlife inhello everyone, i have been reading the different topics and haven't seen this discussed..... i was raised in the 'truth' and decided when i was 19 this was not for me...but unfortunately it took years after that to finally make the clean break.
during that time and up until about a year ago, i was having strange and disturbing nightmares..it finally came to a head when i dreamed that i cussed out the elders in the congregation i had left.,..woke up in a sweat but felt great!
has anyone else experienced this?

You were lucky you were able to fade out. I was disfellowshipped over 2 years ago because they told me since they couldnt prove I had not done something It was easier to assume I had. Best part is I hadn't done anything. Well anyway I have nightmares a few times a week still. Usually involving my family telling me they want nothing to do with me, I always wake up crying. Hopefully one day they will end when I learn to let go of my family that was so willing to let go of me.
