Confusion / A Thorny Thought

growing up in the jw religion (if you can call it that) was soo confusing.

You said dthat your aunt lost a son to fire and is comforted by the hope of resurection. this is what is interesting to me , our familys and friends shun us ar thoes of us that are df'ed or da'ed and i wonder if they wopuld be happier if we were to die in a accident or somthing so that we would be resurected if they care that much i wonder how they cn practice shunning its the one thing in this world that depresses me i never thought my family would take as strong of stand as they have the only one that i talk to is my dad who is a elder so i guess he thionks its ok for him but i havent seen my nephews for so long that im starting to think they wouldnt even rember me and it sucks i used to say that my nephews were the children i would never have and now i dont have them any more but as much as it hurts me its not enough to make me go back ok ill stop now b 4 i get carried away

finally got my thoughts gathered to share......

by scootergirl in

i am relatively new to the board and have to say have never had such a heartwarming welcome from so many people!

it feels so comforting to make new friends that "understand" where i have come from.. i have read many many stories, and have sat back in awe....wow, what stories.

mine is quite simple, but none-the-less my story.

Does being called an 'apostate' upset you?

by wholewheat in

jw
friends

do all of you ex-jehovah's witnesses get upset when you are called an apostate?

you all call each other apostates, so why should you all get upset if i call you apostates?

if you don't like being called 'apostate', what title would you prefer?

not interested

I prefer to be called enlightened, but if you want to call me a apostate go ahead thats the last thing i would be offended by,

as far as people on the board calling eachother apostates i guess its like a black person clling another black person a N-word not a big deal but a white person says it and the chit hits the fan

Double Standards

by Perfection Seeker in

did anyone else have witness parents who the congregation thought were the "model" family, yet behind closed doors all hell broke loose?

i remember a time when my family was choosen to do a part at an assembly about the ideal family- yet behind the scenes, we were beat, yelled at, sworn at, never studied, had a family from hell, yet others always commented how "perfect" and christian our family was.

being a witness leaves deep & permanent scars.

not interested

I guess we all know familys like that it seem like there is always some one on ssembly parts that are talking out of the side of thier neck, its funny how at the assemblys the have to read thier experiences from que-cards instead of speaking from the heart but you know the brothers have to edit every thing so it sounds so peachy, I rember one one af thoes perfect family parts my father was actualy on stage giving our family experience i cant quote what he said exactily but it was somthing like this " my wife and i have 3 sons my oldest is a m/s and my youngest is a pioneer and a m/s and my middle son ....um ...well hes doing well. Gee thanks dad, i guess i shouldnt be hard on him as far as dads go hes probably one of the best

How do YOU deal with it??

by bad_associashun in

hello all- recently joined, had some probs getting logged in, but here at last.... anyway, the question is: for those that can relate, when your heart feels heavy from the hurt, pain, regret, sorrow, bitterness, anger... and the lost years, stolen time, forsaken friends, broken relationships, wasted energies, abandonment, and lost love weighs on you --> caused by wt org.

stress.... how do you get past it?

what heals you, brings you relief, rescues you from total worthless feelings of inadequacy, comforts your wounds, keeps you from jumping on the train tracks?.

me personaly i drink alot of beer............j/k

i agree with what comf said "the best revenge is to live a good life"

thoes on the inside dont belive anyone can be happy on the outside and if you are happy its because you living a sinful life and crap like that. although its true that i personaly get very down at times it not from being out of the borg, but because i miss my family very much especialy me 3 nephewes and the 4th one that ill probably never get to see is due in a few months. the first time i was df;ed i went back because i didnt know what else to do and needed my family ties but the second time i realized i couldnt do it for them i had to do what i wanted to do, wich i dont think is a easy decision for anyone to make. But as the saying goes time heals al pain and with each day it gets better, (but thats just cuz you geting farther away from Jehovah......Right dad)

hope all goes well with you and i hope to see more of your posts
