  yes, you need help. Yes the religion screwed you up. And probably yes, your parents contributed to it. But you are an adult now and you can reach out for help. That is the first big step. If you are at a place in your life that dialing a phone # for help may be a big red flag that you need help today, right now. Please, go to the nearest Emergency Room (in USA, I'm thinking) and get some psychological help NOW.

  It takes time, lots of time and lots of discussions to get through depression/grieving/undoing cult influences.

  You are right that women tend to put everyone else ahead of their needs. But for your sake and especially for your family's sake, GET SOME HELP NOW.

  ps, I'll be in chat if you want to talk.

  ........................expressed the desire to meet for coffee or lunch, seeing as though we work so close to eachother.. i must say it was quite a surprise.

  this sister is older and been a dub for much longer than i ever was.

  she wasn't one of my close friends either, so the email had me curious while also pleasantly surprised.. i replied and we met yesterday for lunch.. she embraced me and we hugged.

  good job, bliss.

  nice to see you posting again. Let us know if she contacts you again. Maybe she is questioning things and will want to know more.

  Hugs,

  OldSoul says:

  Are you worth more or less than the angels? Is it more or less important to make sure reproach is kept from Jehovah's name before the angels or before men? Do not the angels clearly see what men may not know?
  
  According to JW dogma, it makes no sense that reproach should come on Jehovah's name by horrible wrongdoing getting cleaned up. According to JW dogma, it makes perfect sense that reproach is on Jehovah's name - before the angels and Satan - until it is cleaned up.

  I think Jehovah can take care of herself/himself/themself, just like Santa Claus, the Ester bunny, etc. etc etc

  by meat pie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hi there, i know its up to me in the end, but just wondering, what would most of you do?

  my da'ing could be tonight, should i take the opportunity (before they can no longer speak to me ) to tell a few jw's that i am being da'd for telling the truth, or not to bother.

  does it matter anyway.
