What General reason did you leave the religion: Left for a boyfriend in the world, Fornicated, General Fornication & was involved with Drugs/Drinking; and wanted more Freedom date who you wanted, listen to music, etc. because I was Depressed, Didn’t feel like doing all the things required, felt oppressed by the rules. Rebelling against parents rules

6.) How did you feel about the doctrine before leaving: Believed there we more things wrong than right so I Didn’t think about the doctrine

7.) Did your feelings about the doctrine effect the way you left? Yes; but only because if it was true, I just return to dust. Didn't seem like such a big deal.

8.) If you were disfellowshipped for sin, did your feelings on the doctrine effect you sinning in the first place? I sinned because I wanted to and doctrine had nothing to do with it

20.) How do you feel about discussing your time as a Jehovah's Witness?: It's part of me I'll discuss it if it comes up; I bring it up occas ionally.

today both of my youngest boys' classrooms were to have their valentine's party.

i had to rush this morning to walmart and pick up valentines for my youngest son.

then i had quickly to put my boy's name on 24 valentines which i did when my boy was eating breakfast in the school cafeteria.

lisavegas420

Oh no, this would been a good learning lesson for your son, in multi-tasking. He should have been signing his own name with one hand and eating with the other.

LIFE AFTER JW: Have you gotten psychotherapy yet? Why do we need it?

by cyberjesus in

jw
friends

we all regardless of our spiritual beliefs have in common a past damaged by brain washing and mind control.

there is no doubt that our mental health has been affected to different degrees.

but we usually go and continue our life trying to patch the injuries on our own.. one of the reasons we find it so difficult to deal with the world is precisely that.

lisavegas420

If you suffer from guilt and depression. It helps.

do you know someone who is disfellowshipped or not active who still talks of "truth" and is still judgemental ?

by looloo in

i have only known one , who talked more about the "wicked system" and satan and how immoral worldlys are etc than the jws i knew who were still "in" and he ended up abusing my daughter !

still never gone back 14 years after being disfellowshipped , some local dubs take that to mean jehovah didnt want him back till his abusive past (as a jw ) had been found out !

do you know someone very hypocritical ?.

lisavegas420

When I worked in a stripper bar, a df'd JW came in to encourage me to come back. hahaha.
