  So last night we get a phone call from our girl & she tells me the above. Turns out she has been D'ed for a month. We are the last one's to know about it. Infact she made me turn off the speaker phone so her dad wouldn't hear & i could tell him quietly later. Of course i wasnt about to let that happen cause i knew he would be great about it. Him not being a JW & all that. I'm going to stay with her for a bit & she 100% knew we would never shun her NEVER, yet she didn't want us to know. Brazen conduct, she got off with a boy, no intercourse but she has been putting herself in bad situations. LOL. She said to me "when i was pioneering, go out in the ministry, all the meetings & socializing i was lonely, now that i am D'ed i am not any more." So i replied "what does that tell you?" her "Satan is a bastard." she is completely defending the Borganization. I can't believe it. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. She is going to all the meetings, she wants back in. These people in this borg have treated her like shit, they have put her through so much, bullying, lies, ignoring her, excluding her, dropping her, & that is all before she got D'ed. Now they are love bombing her to get her back, she isnt being shunned, the elders are helping her. Anyone got an explanation for that? I think they are trying to get her back before she has a chance to find out anything about what is really going on in the borg. So i emailed a friend for advice, look at jwfacts, which i have done but she will not as it is considered apostate. We are so alike, passionate, so i'm worried i'm gonna blow it with my big gob, getting all emotional. My husband said she gonna go back i have to except it. So do you think they are taking a new approach now towards some of the young ones since the ARC or is there some other motive.

  Gut Feelings - The Second Brain

  by Xanthippe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i came across a link on the bbc site this morning to an article in scientific american on gut health claiming that one reason we need to keep our guts healthy with probiotics, a good diet and reducing antibiotics is because there are neurons in our gut that are part of the process to create dopamine and serotonin for the brain.

  yes happy hormones and neurotransmitters!

  amazing article.. 'the enteric nervous system is often referred to as our body’s second brain.

  I am so glad that this is on here, people dont recognize how important the gut really is. When i've tried to tell friends about this they look at me like i'm nuts. I see a psychologist, she is the top of her field, trains other psychologists, has published works, goes to other countries to give talks ect. Needless to say the woman knows her stuff. About 2 yrs ago i was telling her that this old bag of a sister that was coming round every week just to put me down, sat across the table asked me what i had for dinner. I told her, she asked if i had made it myself, i said no. she said nothing but gave me this look. I heard her say "if i had cooked that i would have made it myself" i heard the criticism, in my stomach. She (psychologist) started to smile, she had just come back from a convention in Hawaii & told me that it has been recognized that people who come from serverly abused back grounds hear with their stomachs. You know what i did? i started to listen to it. 95% of serotonin is made in the stomach, so i ate a piece of dark chocolate everyday, & drink 2 tbls of apple cider vinegar which alkaline's the body. Wanna know what it told me, it told me i was in a f...king cult. I'm a big fan of gut feeling. We all need to do abit of tummy talk, the more i let it speak out the flatter it seems to be getting.

  I can't take it anymore!

  my dad was recently made an elder about maybe 6 months ago, and now he is never around he's always at work or doing some kind of jw crap.

  now he conducts the watchtower study and is even doing the special talk tommorow.

  he's become an even more strict controlling jerk than he was before, and i'm never allowed to go out and do anything non jw related because he doesn't have the time.

  Sounds to me like your dad doesn't even want to be an elder if he is already acting that way. If he was truly happy bout it then he would be on a high. Most men don't want the responsibility cause they know it is all shit right deep down. They just go along with it out of obligation, fear or they just haven't yet worked out they are being conned. I know that doesn't make it any easier on you. The Borg love to put pressure on families, it 's begining to look as if they want them torn apart. More control. The Bastards. Keep your pecker up Black Wolf. Keep looking for ways to build friendships with one's outside the cong. Hugs.

  Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

  If you cant give the things you own away, then you don't own them, they own you.

  When they stop talking to you that's when they start talking about you. The Bastards.

  I never went to bed with an ugly man, but I've woke up next to a few.

  I'm the kind of dirty you cant wash off.

  the fact is we could never talk about politics or of use toward political issues as witnesses now we can and we can disagree without being disagreeable .

  Minimus, although what i have stated is true, the 1st sentence (i hate politics) was my attempt at humor. I really dont have an issue with other people who like to get involved. Please dont misunderstand. It's just my father i hate really. Biggest Hug for Minimus.

  Sparrowdown, what is wrong with Ja'el? i think she is an excellent example for young women. What better use could there be for a tent peg then to pierce a man through the head.

  I hate politics, HATE it i tell you. I spent most of my childhood having Margaret Thatcher shoved down my throat. My father couldn't stand her. We always had people round our house campaigning for the Labour Party. I remember going out in the cars with the loud speakers handing out leaflets. He was always off to give bloody union speeches. I told him when i was about 13 or 14, "i'm never voting" he went up the wall. And i'm proud to say to the right honourable gentleman on the left, i never have.

  Money....

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i believe all our worst nightmare are believing money will make our life's complete.

  i am not talking about money providing life's comforts, but i am mortified that contentment and happiness always requires " more money"..ummm i need a window cleaner, a flashy car and a 50inch t.v screen to be happy.

  money...well in my opinion we need money integrity to be happy, but it seems such a waste of life to search for the making of money more than ....well what i mean "hey" most of us have more money than most, and would the making or having more money really make you happier?.
