Did you ever experience "Joy"?
by Pork Chop inone thing that always struck me was the rather dour nature of the organization.
i know people laugh, and at seem to have a good time, at least occasionally.
however, one thing i just haven't seen is a real outpouring of joy, like david dancing like a crazy man or some of the other occassions in the scriptures when it seems like people were almost overcome with joy.. anyone here ever feel real joy as a witness?

if you have some idea of where and when i'll try to organise you being picked up, unless, of course, you have plans of your own.

*wiping tears away from my eyes*
Welcome, Jadedlady. Glad you found this place and hope you can heal nicely.
The lack of love is what really stands out, imho, about the JWs.
Just make sure you give yourself time to heal/deprogram from a mind control group.

Only in your mind, Minimus.

Minimus,
I don't believe it is denial when someone moves on from their JW past. I don't hear people who used to be catholic saying they are exCatholics. I may state that I was raised a JW, but I WILL NOT refer to myself as staying in a xjw state.

we'll ALWAYS be xdubs
I disagree. We will remain xdubs only if we want to.
That part of my history is just that, history. I don't refer to myself as an xschoolgirl, xteen, x etc. you get the picture. The definition of yourself is what you are now.

What Made You Realize The WTBTS Was NOT The Truth
by Kevin inmy wife is a jw.. i've been trying to point out the errors of the wtbts but she just doesnt want to hear it.. i'm wonder if some people could share your turning point in regards to your relationship goes.
with the society.

Welcome to JWD, Kevin.
We are all here trying to figure out ways to reach our loved ones/relatives.
Steve Hassen's first book on "Mind control" is good because it doesn't mention JWs but shows the same tactics they use.
Your wife is being taught that no matter what be loyal to God's organization?.
Read other's experiences here and how the lack of love finally made them look at their organization. Or Raymond Franz's books, Crisis of Conscience or In Search of Christian Freedom.
The UN scandal that was exposed here on JWD. (The WTBTS was an UGO 1992-2002) And how the WTBTs lies to cover themselves.
All you can truly do to help your wife is show her unconditional love. The JWs don't. You have to abide by their guidelines to recieve their love.
Good luck. Sorry there is no magic answer, but we are here to listen and sympatize. (been there, done that)

Addicted to Misery
by Lady Lee inyup one more of my recovery threads.. for the last few years i have had a copy of a book sitting on my shelf called addicted to misery: the other side of co-dependency by robert becker.
early on in the recovery movement a co-dependent person was a term used mostly for people who were in a relationship with an alcoholic.
more recently it has been recognized that so-dependency can refer to any kind of addcion to substances or behaviors.
