i have a good life these days.
i have a wonderful new husband who shares his lovely family with me.
i have 'worldly' friends who i'm very fond of.
Thanks folks - you're such a great bunch on here....I'm in the UK - I'm going to one of the counsellors assigned to our doctor's practice ...will see how it goes. He suggests that talking to someone outside of family/friends with complete objectivity would be the best thing. Its certainly true that if I talk to my hubby he gets so distressed for me, and that isnt fair on him, and then I kind of censure what I tell him ....
Hadit - I feel for you...its not easy is it?

I have a good life these days. I have a wonderful new husband who shares his lovely family with me. I have 'worldly' friends who I'm very fond of. I am back at Uni and loving it there.
So, I feel almost guilty for the fact that every few weeks I have a run of a few nights of horrific nightmares which really reduce me to a frazzle...and as well as that maybe once a month I'll go through a few days where I really cant stop crying....
I gave my dr a brief resume of my 30yr life as a JW which ended in disfellowshipping and loss of my adult kids and friends etc etc...his opinion is that however well I seem to deal with it - it would be virtually impossible not to suffer from post traumatic issues....
He's referred me for counselling at the end of this month.....I'm just wondering what you guys on here think ......

what made you think you were supposed to drink the wine and eat the bread?
if you left the org, did you still feel like you were going to heaven?.
There's a lot of what you say that I cant relate to bible brain - these days I dont feel I have the right to judge anyone as long as they're not hurting others - but I do hope you find peace. Shelby (a Guest ) is a lovely person and makes some profound points which can be insightful for us all.
What really hurts me inside is the thought of any or all of us and also others still inside the Org who receive a 'calling' may have had to deal with such cruel insensitive treatment from those who profess to be God's people...they seemed to me to abandon God's will, to try and make people fit into the Org's rules and regs no matter what the consequences....

so, darth plaugeis (or however you spell it) has suggested that the best way to get out of going to the meeting is to tell your wife that it's time to get ready for the meeting, and when her back is turned hit her over the head with a large object.. i'm sure there are better ways to get out of going.
i'm looking for some real ideas here.
" i like the whole getting your wife (or husband) drunk before the meeting so they won't want to go idea.
Migraine attacks...?? Amnesia?? Lol you dont remember anything about becoming a JW? Handy eh?

i hate to ask you good folks to jump around but the first post in the thread below explains why i'm going into the jc meeting, hence the basis for my questions below.... http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/198636/1/reply-to-judicial-committee-question-thenoblelodge.
i have no idea how to present my witnesses.
they've already agreed to show up.
My experience of my Judicial made a mockery of everything I'd believed in the Org for years and years. Yes I too am thankful now because I have built a whole new life - but still the damage they did to me /our family /my sense of self and confidence was blown apart...brace yourself SBC it wont be nice at all....on the plus side we'll all be here to help if you need us...

A big hello and all the best from me SD7.

what are some excuses used by jw's to avoid going in field service, that others didn't question or hold against the person?
I was good and used to go out even when my M.E. was bad...I cringe now thinking about dragging my sons out at weekends when they would have so preferred to be at football....tragic ...

i'm sorry, it seems like i only post when i'm down.
so, most here probably think i'm depressed all the time,which isn't true.. but, i had a long distance romance, and now he doesn't even respond to my e-mails.
we have been talking for almost two years now.
Hi there, aw its sad when you get hurt...is there maybe a valid reason he's not in touch though, possibly? Are you sure he's just 'finishing' things or are you just presuming the worst maybe? Have a hug anyway....relationships arent always easy...

Thank you for the hugs Noble Lodge.
I kind of agree that it would be wrong to go back 'inside' to partake...I dont want to be associated with them in any way in my God's eyes, Bible Brain.
Exwhyzee - you're entitled to your opinion of course but it isnt mental illness/bonkers at all.
