  Wow, I haven't laughted this hard in a long time. The problem is I am at work, and my co-workers are looking at me like I am nuts. Difficult humor to explain to "worldly folks."

  Is there a JWD mindset?

  by beginnersmind in

  not sure if this is the correct place to post this but i thought it would be better in here out of the choices.

  the title was to hopefully make you at least be interested in this post whereas the politically correct non generalised question might be "is there a mindset of some on jwd?.

  a while back i was browsing the forums and 2 posts stood out.

  For many people visiting ex-JW support boards the JW religion was abusive. That is like asking a person that was abused by a trusted individual in their life, if the abuse lead to anything positive. Depending on who you are, where you are in the healing process, how you have intregrated the abuse in your life, will determine the answer to that question. That is why even here you will find those that hate the JW religion, those that really are tolerant, those that even asking the question is a flashback.

  For myself, I hate the cult and the years it took of my life, but I also have positive things that I now enjoy that I learned in the cult. Surely I would not do what I do for a living, had it not been the education of learning to speak to to others, etc. JMO

  First welcome..glad you are here with us.

  I think they are beginning to back away from many of their blood doctines because of lawsuits and PR. I think the JW religion is much more worried about money and how the outside world perceives them, then receiving a certain ethnic persons blood. JMO

  He is 18 and no longer considered a minor, so why not just tell him the truth. He must want to know or he wouldn't ask you. JMO

  an earlier discussion has been highlighting the differences between da'ing and df'ing.

  xena said:i am sorry qadreena but i have never in the 20 some odd years i have been a jw ever heard of an unbaptised publisher being d/aed...marked as bad association yes..but d/a...no...but i guess stranger things can happen.... well that brought it all back.. actually xena the exact same thing happened to my brother in the early 80's.

  he was only 14. he'd carried on associating with a friend of his who'd been disfellowshipped.

  Congrats to the both of you. Just remember you can be much older and marriage still doesn't work. So you work on it from the beginning. As was already mentioned communication, communication, communication. We are here for you both. Good Luck!!!
