  Dealing with overbearing parent?

  by make yourself in

  how was it growing up dealing with over bearing parents being a born in?

  right now i'm being guilt tripped about relationships and friendships with normal people.

  it makes no sense to me, how can you tell someone who is grown not to hang out with certain individuals?

  An Idea... Related to the Blood Doctrine

  by ILoveTTATT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i would like to compile a list (and then later a table) of many procedures and diseases that currently need blood or blood is recommended for it.. .

  the point of the list/table would be to pinpoint things where blood is still absolutelu necessary or considered to be very risky if you don't take it.. .

  for example a leukemia..

  i know its very common for jws and ex jws to deal with depression.

  maybe it's a side effect of cognitive dissonance or the whole outlook on life being a jw.

  but what are some ways to cope with depression?

  I met two Mormons today

  by Quarterback in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  while going on my walk this morning, i saw two female members of the mormon faith coming towards me.

  as they got closer they initiated the conversation.. i stopped getting into arguments a long time ago with people about beleifs, so we just had a friendly chat, in the end of our conversation, they gave me a card.

  do you know what that card was about?.

  Looking Back, Are You Embarrassed By Your Attitudes, Speech, Actions as a JW?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  i think of how judgmental we were as witnesses.

  "worldly ones" were almost as bad as disfellowshipped ones but not as bad as "apostates"..

  Is it true that elders lurk the forums?

  2. experiences

  it seems like it is one huge contradiction.

  but are they doing it for the purpose to try to guess exactly who in the congregation is on ex jw sites?
