Attention lurkers! Come on in, the water's fine!

by Mickey mouse in

friends

i have been here for almost six months now and thought i would mark the occasion by starting one of these threads.

you may have been lurking on this site for a while, learning a lot but too afraid to participate.

i was convinced that somehow my ip address would be traced or i would be i.d'ed.

I think maybe you should consider filling harrassment charges maybe a protection order against this woman. She doesn't sound right.

4TH WITNESS is here to expose! Apostates Beware!

by 4THWITNESS in

bow before me all opposers and apostates.

you are all deceivers, trying to pull people away from the truth.

but you will not succeed because 4thwitness is now here to expose all of you for the devils children you all are.

two elders really annoyed me tonight.my husband was terminated from his job last week,so this week he's been doing odd jobs until his new job starts in two weeks.now the elders don't know that he is started a new job soon,so instead of asking him how everything is going the p.o asked my mom how she feels about her son in law losing his job and if everything is ok.why is it any of his business to know,and why ask my mom in the first place she doesn't know what goes on in our home.the another elder tells my husband that he needs to hurry up and find a job because the elders are watching him.what are they going to do df him for losing his job?what happened to the support that they are supposed to give us in our time of need?this whole org is a crock it's so freakin annoying.

Oh for crying out loud..how old is your husband? 12? He needs to call them up and tell them the butt the hell out of his life.

How Were You Treated as a Jehovah's Witness if You Had Depression ?

by flipper in

jw
friends

most of us who were in the jehovah's witnesses for some time realize that for years the watchtower society had always discouraged it's rank and file members from going to see therapists, or professional counselors if they had depression, or serious chemical depression.

the watchtower society always told us to go out in service more, do more personal study, be more regular at meetings - and essentially we would lose our depression , and everything would fall right back into place.

the old, " don't worry, be happy " cliche.

My dad (elder at the time) told me my depression was my own fault. Obviously I had done something terribly wrong and the guilt was eating me up and I was greiving the Holy Spirit.

Whatever...I found JWD..and little by little the depression left me...completely. booya.

For Those of You Trying to Quit Drinking - Even Temporarily...

by cognac in

jw
friends

figured i'd do a topic for it.

i'm trying to quit for at least a month - just found i was drinking a bit to much with all the stress.... anyways, its been 10 days since i last had a drink.. how long has it been for you?

how long are you trying to go without drinking?.

lisavegas420

Ok, I need help too. I can't seem to give a crap about alcohol. There was a short period of time where it was fun to go out and get wasted, now I'll buy a case of beer or hard liquor and forget to drink it.

hahaha...My husband tells me I'd make a terrible alcoholic. I'll have a sip of his if he's drinking something, or I'll order a beer if out having Mexican meal. I don't consider myself a drinker at all. It's like chocolate to me. love it love it..but too much makes me feel like shit so I don't really think about it. I do think about quiting other habits/vices ..even temporarily.

Something Else I Was Thinking About...

by str8?so is spaghetti..until you heat it up in

sometimes i look back at my 27 years as a witness and am astounded by the amount of double speak that goes on in the organisation.

god loves unconditionally, but only certain ones, god is going to save the world from its downward spiral, but first of all he is going to destroy millions of evil people.

it is all so fatalistic and unkind.

lisavegas420

,...holy shit. I think a good spit in the face is exactly what they needed. What a bunch of jerks. You voice/tone stumbled people..I'd want to know which people. Then I'd say their face stumbles me and they need a bag over it. I'm sooo sorry you ever had to deal with anything that unfriendly and cruel.

What Its Like To Be A Gay Ex JW....

by str8?so is spaghetti..until you heat it up in

i guess its time to throw my little story out there.

i keep reading everyones stories and thinking how brave you have all been, coming out of the organisation and facing all the repercussions of doing so.. .

i only last august disassociated myself.

lisavegas420

I didn't see where anyone else noticed this...

Then I moved away from where I was living and took up a new job, and am working for a publishing company in Sydney, Australia.

hahaha..you quit one publishing company to work for a another publishing company...(that's so gay) I'm sure the pay is better now.

Welcome to the board.

Gonna Be Authentic to My Witness Relatives - Send Pictures - Hell With It

by flipper in

jw
friends

i've decided i'm gonna let the chips fall where they may.

i feel it's part of my growth here on jwd and how some of you have taught me to stand up , and be authentic towards my relatives !

don't worry, i'm not losing my mind - but since some of my witness relatives accept my wife and i since our marriage ( my parents) , yet a couple of my siblings waffle somewhat anyway ( my older ex-bethel brother and ex-gilead sister ) and are sitting on the fence towards me as a fader - i figured i'd just send pictures of my wife and my wedding to them, my parents, and my nieces and nephews as well !

Several years ago, I worked for 6 months putting together a scrap book to send to my mom. It was beautiful. I took much time making sure each page and picture of myself, husband, children, grandchildren (some they had never met) was perfect. I made sure nothing was in the background of the pictures to bring them any grief. Nothing anti JW, ...just wonder family pictures of us doing fun family stuff together.

I..finally finished. I showed my daughter and she wanted it for herself. I promised the next one would be for her.

I mailed the scrapbook album off to my mom......and waited days, then months...then years. No thank you, no kiss my ass..nothing. I won't do that again.

My daughter wanted to call and ask her to send it back...I didn't.
