  Mr. Snowbird and I Are Reconciling

  by snowbird in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we've agreed to compromise on our differences and support each other through the years we have left.. i'm seeing a psychiatrist today to deal with my difficulties that stem from a traumatic and tumultuous childhood.. he is willing to yield in his beliefs that a man should control everything and make all the decisions.. being a stubborn jamaican, i realize how hard that is for him.. we're going to renovate the house so that he has his own quarters.. that way, my boisterous g'kids won't work his nerves too badly.. just wanted to put it out there.. syl.

  yesterday, a friend told me that she has been secretly dating a non- witness.

  she plans on marrying him and will tell about her relationship only after she is married.

  she is worried that she will be marked.

  A sister in my cong was DFd for marrying a 'worldly' man. Is this the usual practice elsewhere?

  This site helps me a lot. Since I am the only "Conscious" JW in my area I used to feel lonely and confused about WTS teachings.The topics discussed on this site have helped me to cope and come to terms with some issues that I face. Thanks Simon...

  last weekend i had a date.

  i immidaiately fell in love.

  we met the following day again, and arranged another date for tomorrow.. well, yesterday she sent me a text message, stating that she no longer has an interest in seeing me again, because she discovered other pics of myself on other dating web sites.

  Take time to get to know and understand yourself and what you want in a partner. Slow down!

  BizzyBee's advice is good...take your time to get to know her...have fun!

  so i'll start at the beginning.

  then she gave birth to me, and realised that life was a miracle.

  she began searching for god.

  Converts and near-converts, what did you give up for the Watchtower?

  by Nickolas in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  if you're born-in you probably won't understand the subject question.

  maybe you will if you've taken up any bad habits since leaving the watchtower, if you've left at all.

  but if you were a convert (or near-convert, like i was) did you have to change your lifestyle in order to conform to the expectations of the society?.

  I lost most of my friends and close relatives when I became JW. I lost my ability to think, to feel, to reason for myself and my loved ones. I forgot to be a human and became a robot.

  i've been watching from the sidelines for a while... reading about your experiences and it has helped me a lot!!!.

  i am a 27 yo girl, i converted into a jw @ 20, at was going thru a difficult time in my life and they bastards sucked me in!!!

  i did not realize how controlling things were going to get... about 1 year into my study i moved w another single sister and then baptize, looking back i think i went thru w baptism because i fell pressure by the "loving" congregation that wanted the best for me... i remember coming out of the pool and one of the brothers saying "another victim" and taking a pic of me... anyways, that wasn't the worst of it.... remember single female!!

  the cancer finally got to her and now my sisters and i are left without our mother.

  we take comfort only in knowing that she is no longer in pain.

  how do people move on from such a massive loss?.

  Sorry Lola, you must be going through a hard time now. I lost my mom last year. I still find it's difficult at times to talk about her without giving in to tears. It takes time....

  Wake up CALL! It's time to shake off the JW's attitude/personality!

  2. experiences

  this weekend i found myself again working on my day off, not because i had to i just didn't want to sit at home alone.

  when i told my mom on our daily phone call that i was working again over the weekend she told me that she was worried because over the past few months i have been "over working" myself.. when i got home i sat in my apartment alone, tired, and depressed.

  i phoned my mother once more and we talked for a long while, and cried together.
