  Were You A Happy JW or An Unhappy One?

  by mentallyfree31 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when you were a witness, were you happy or miserable?.

  i feel like i was pretty happy for over 20 of the 25 years.

  only the last 5 years and especially the last 1-2 years did i really burn out and just wasn't that into it.

  I definitely remember some happy times...but I remember some painful ones too and in the end they were all painful...

  i was talking to my disfellowshipped friend today , her jw die hard mum is best friends with the sister of the child molester that raped my 13 year old , and abused two others (that we know of )one was abused between 11 to 13 years the other was 13 , my friends mum was tallking about "bad associations" to my friend the day before , my friend said "well you hang around with the family of a paodophile , who still support him and you get your car fixed by him " her answer was "that is just buisness " and its unfair to call him a paedophile , he has done things wrong but that word is a bit strong !!!!!!!!

  i was livid , what morons that religion has in it , he is a convicted sex offender ,but thats ok because hes not a paedophile !

  ignorant stupid cow !

  Where do I begin?

  by Backspacer in

  2. friends

  i'm new here but have been reading/lurking for several months.

  it's good to know that i'm not alone in my ex-jw status and that my story and experiences are not unique.

  i have no bitterness or anger anymore.... that's long gone since i left some 12 years ago.

  How do you not care

  by LoriJis in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  here is my dilemma.....i am the type of person that gets upset when things are unjust and people act unfair towards me or my family.

  but here is the problem.

  as you know, we have been da and my husband's ex-wife (who was just reinstated) and his family (who live in the same apt bldg we do) cannot stand me.

  It must be pretty difficult for you if his mother hates you and he continues to be friendly with her....I sympathize. Its true that he has to be himself but there's a loyalty issue here surely? I suppose the best you can do is to try and ignore it all and take a back seat without comment to keep the peace...

  Did you swear when you were a JW?

  by St George of England in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have noticed that quite a few people here swear and use profanity.

  an elder once told me this is quite common in the congregations he has been in.

  i was raised in so never allowed to swear and never got into the habit.

  Comment on Loneliness

  by jgnat in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the great lessons this board gave me is the cruelty of shunning by the jehovah's witnesses.

  it is inhuman.

  the toll it takes on a person cannot be underestimated.

  Interesting thread....I definitely experienced it in my last years in the Borg...ending my marriage made me someone to be avoided....and as others have said after leaving and being shunned and losing everyone in my life after 30 years it was lonely and difficult starting again to build a new one...it gets better though...gradually

  An Introduction

  by Desert Rat in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  since i have been a lurker off and on for years, i thought it was high time i got off my duff and joined.

  i didn't look at member names when i sat up my account, so i didn't realize there was a desertrat already, i am just a slight difference with a space in there.

  thought i would point that out right away so there would hopefully be no confusion.. my name is sue and i live in nevada.
