  Did you/Do you actually LIKE Field Service?

  by LovesDubs in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  god i hated it..every living breathing minute of it.

  it was pure hell for me, and based on the pace i see the jws all over the world moving, they aint so fond of it neither.

  the persecution that the jws feel they get is from irritated householders who know nothing about their religion except that they hit people over the head with it and then judge them because they dont like being hit over the head with it.

  Speaking of Mommy Dearest....

  by LovesDubs in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i heard the most interesting talk last year at the pa convention (witnesses now for jesus) regarding the roles that jws take...that basically there are three roles in a person's life, authority figure/parent, adult, and child.

  the society becomes the authority figure, the jws become the children and the thinking, reasoning adult is suppressed, in fact destroyed.

  hence, the jw becomes incapable of processing information or making decisions after awhile.

  Obituary Pioneers

  by LovesDubs in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  things have gotten desperate in the us for the borg.

  they lowered the hours required by the pioneers to 70 and there was this little surge in the number of pioneers and yet there was a negative "increase" in this country.

  so...desperate times call for desperate measures.

  "Questions From Readers"...are they r...

  by LovesDubs in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just like the urban legends that we all heard at assemblies, we also read questions from readers in the wts rags...did you guys ever read those while you were still jws and think "oh my god...there is no way that some 8 year old wrote or even said any of this.

  " or when you heard at assemblies that we should be soooo thankful because the brothers in africa are walking through gator infested, malarial waters with their children on their backs and their book bags and meeting clothes on their heads, through monsoon rains 74 miles each way to attend their assemblies.

  my mother used to say the same thing about cleaning my plate because there were kids in whoknowswhere starving to death.

  Did you burn the sacred documents?

  by LovesDubs in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ...or did you shred the shit out of em so even the garbage man wouldnt become accidentally sucked into this cult like i did?

  during the time i read crisis of conscience i went into a two week long rage.

  i was angry all the time for being duped and i hated every witness on the planet, mostly for being as stupid as i was, and the upper echelon at the society...i just wanted to castrate them.

  Need to locate support groups in Japan

  by LovesDubs in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i need your help to find support groups in japan for a jw i met online who is very down in the dumps.

  she is very lonely and doesnt feel welcome in her own congregation, and her job situation is bad as well.

  she needs somebody to talk to and im afraid she will commit suicide if she doesnt find somebody to talk to soon.

  Every obscure disease known or unknown to man

  by LovesDubs in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  did you all ever notice how "sick" the "friends" seemed to always be with weird diseases and ailments and blood disorders?

  i swear i have never seen so many cases of "chronic fatigue syndrome" and "blood viruses" as i did when i was a jw.

  they were constant shoppers at the local homeopathic stores, stocking their shelves with every herb and rub and remedy...and nothing seemed to help these mysterious ailments.

  If you went back...

  by LovesDubs in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ive not been to a meeting in five years probably.

  yet my husband still goes and i always envision him going in and the hardy handshakes he gives, greeting and being greeted, sitting there with all those suits with the secrets hidden inside, and all those pretty dresses hiding the pain.

  if i wasnt disassociated, i wonder if i would be bolder, speak up, be honest with the "friends" instead of toeing the company line.
