funny old life isnt it....

i was just looking out the window, as it would happen a middle aged woman, or perhaps a young woman worn out with her life walked past.

she stopped on the edge of the mall where my wifes office is, and sat on a bench outside the window.

on close look, she couldnt have been more than late 30's, but probably only 35.. she sat for a while just looking at the ground in front of her, her face just exhibiting that blank look of the world weary.

Ozzie,

Yes, Free at last! That's how I feel right now. I feel very happy that I am free NOW, it could of taken even longer......maybe my whole lifetime!! For some they have gave up their whole life for this pipe dream, they have grown old believing it. They have put their dreams on hold, they have pursued very few personally fulfilling things in life.....always, wait til the new system!

I understand Deacons feelings, perhaps I may do so even more in the future, if I am ever dfed. But I would hope that I do not waste anymore of my time going to their meetings, or letting them 'get to me' making me fester on their wrongdoings.

I wish you peace Deacon, I just have to share my song for this month with you (and all) It's "The greatest love of all" most versions are good but I particularly like Whitney Houston. The words are beautiful.

i've made this point before but it bears repeating.. the watchtower, with its extreme standards, injures.

families and hurts kids.. parents have a responsibility to teach and safeguard.

Just a female thing?

by anglise in

since drifting from the org over the last year or so i have been slowly updating my clothes.

i thought maybe it was just me who had been dressing like a middle aged matron since i was 23 but whilst talking to a young xsister recently i learnt that she too has thrown out most of the clothes she used to wear whilst a dub.. has anyone else found themselves doing this, and is it just a female thing?

Latte

Natred,

****You all sound extremely beautiful!****

Yes, Yes.........it's true!!

troubled [in need of answers]

today, i had a long, long talk with my employer.

this person is some one who can seperate work and personal things, so after feeling like i needed to talk to someone, and soon, before i crack up, i went to her and dropped the bomb.

she is not a witness, and because i cannot talk to a witness about what i have learned, for fear of the df'ing thingy, i feel safe in talking to her.

Latte

Zev,

I really feel for you!

I am blessed with my partner discovering the truth about the trooth, at the same time as myself. I can only tell you what things have helped me immensley.

1) The great guys on this board.
2) Finding someone local to talk with you about JW land, and what leaving means.
3) Time. This has helped me to 'calm down' I was so worried about being DF'd for not believing anymore, that I was very 'strung up' so the speak.....I really felt, like you, that I needed professional help to help me through this.

If this time is not 'right' for your wife, maybe get help for yourself, privately in the mean time. Then when you feel more in control perhaps you could try the matter-of-fact approach that Larc has suggested. I guess that approach takes times, which certainly some witnesses need, to be de-programmed.

Having others speak with you and tell you that you ARE thinking correctly regarding the Borg. will help you immensley, also.

Where are you? Are there no ex's near you?

Take care, and I wish you peace.

Anglise,

I too have a wardrobe full of KH clothes. What shall I do with them?
It makes me sad to think of the money that I've spent buying clothes to look frumpy, and probably older

Well, I feel a shopping spree coming on!

Need a shopping partner Anglise?

We could call by the tattoo shop?

Would you forgive the shunners?

by nojw86 in

jw
friends

if after all the years of being shunned by family , friends , would you forgive or forget them and all the misery they handed you, or maybe let them think about it for somtime before you talked to them again.

of course this can only happen freely if they left the org.

Latte

Yeah I would forgive them...........I am a newly shunned person, I have not done anything 'wrong' except to stop attending. This has only further endorsed to me what a very odd religion I have been involved in...........strange.

When I said I loved them, I meant it.
