Even Mermaids Get the Blues

by Cadellin in

feeling particularly down today--got an email sent to me showing a pic of a friend of mine (not close but we knew each other well when kids) w/her aging parents, standing proudly beside her 11 year old daughter who had just got baptized (3 generations--parents, nearing 80, my friend late 40's and her 11 year old daughter).

they're all beaming wildly, dressed up in their best dist assem.

clothes.

Sending hugs to you! You are not warped, nor a monster - you are awake while they are fast asleep under mind control. It's hard being awake and still influenced by the mind control and seeing people still in it.

Your life is worth far, far more than wanting to die because of a religion! You never know who you will be the catalyst for some day to wake up. You will need to be there for the ones who come out!

Take heart and I hope you feel better. Don't give them power over you. The power is yours alone!

Sending love,

neither of them ever asked to go.

he then asked about my family.

he asked if that was because my mom is no longer a jw.

Hadit

You are very welcome! Have a good sleep and all the best with the conversation with your husband.

Keep up the good work! I truly believe our children will prosper from our unconditional love.

Thanks for sharing that! I remember reading your post a while ago about your assembly experience while I was lurking on this site. I dug out the WT it was based on and read it myself. I was so disgusted! The way you handled the conversation with your son is commendable! It sounds like he understands which is great. I agree - kids should not have to deal with the bs of this religion. Kids should be carefree and loved unconditionally. I wish I faded years ago too before my son became a teenager. We can only do the best that we can! You did great. This religion is awful for the way that it deliberately tries to destroy family bonds.

All the best to you and your family!

Undeserved Kindness - Actually Deserved

by sabastious in

my younger brother recently moved in with me.

for the past 5 years he has done really nothing but abuse substance.

cocaine, alcohol cigarettes etc.

Hadit

Good for you Sab! You are a wonderful brother - loving and kind. You make very good points. I agree. It is also a sign of an insecure person to keep bringing up what you did for someone else. You do something because you care and because it's loving. The immense joy and satisfaction that you get out of helping your brother is far superior to pats on the back. It's also a good way for him to learn how to treat others in the future! What goes around comes around.

I wish you both all the best!

The Greatest Gift (no one is guaranteed tomorrow)

by AllTimeJeff in

jw

i was watching a movie on cable this week, and was impressed.

it was about a woman who chose prostitution, in part to live out a life of lust.

the movie is more about her journey to learn about herself.

Hadit

Thanks Jeff! Excellent points. Each day is a gift and we should all make the best of it. Letting go of bitterness is very hard but really - it's only hurting us. Living a happy, fulfilling life is the best way to show them that we moved on and how wrong they were!

Have a great weekend!

If You Had To Have A Religion Which Would You Not Mind Belonging To?

by minimus in

jw
friends

if you were even born into a religion, would you feel that you had to get out?

( the only religion that i know of where people get out and often never go to any other religion is the jw religion)..

Hadit

After the JW experience? The last thing on my mind is belonging to any other religion.

Hi Everyone! My introduction.

by cherrypye in

jw
friends

i am a former dub, born and raised and left at the age of 18. i was baptised at nine, aux pioneer, regular pioneer and around 16 started to see the light.

my parents give me the heave-ho the day i hit 18 (at midnight, to be precise.

) i was marked at 17 for dating a "worldly".

Hadit

Welcome to JWN Cherrypye! How awful that they kicked you out when you turned 18! Sounds like it was to the hour! How hateful. I'm so sorry. That's not what an 18 year old needs - they still need parents! You were so young when you were baptized! How can children make lifelong decisions like that? It's crazy to expect that! I'm glad you are talking to your mom now and that there is some healing there. I hope your family sees the truth one day. This is an evil organization.

I wish you the best! You've come to the right place to share and heal.
