Daughter counselled on dating a wordly guy

by minimus in

jw
friends

my daughter recieved this email from one of her witness "friends".

she is counseling my daughter (indirectly) about her choice to date a "worldly" guy.. hey, so, we had a talk recently that was about love & respect in your marriage.

the brother brought out that this was more for us witnesses rather than worldly people, because it seems that even in the truth now marriage has lost it's correct place.

jwbot

I had "friends" like that too.

Oh to be the perfect judgemental jdub.

"Oh but isn't calling everyone who is different from you 'wordly' derrogatory and judgemental?"

My mom: "oh no of course not"

Post your favorite JW "DEMON" story

.

we've all heard different stories floating around our congregations of different ones(bible studies, or brothers or sisters) having an encounter or 'problems' with demons.

what was your favorite?.

jwbot

Just the usual "lady X heard dishes crashing every night and when she burned her eeevil crosses and other religious stuff, the demons left" It still scared me.

Also I was told when I was little what if a demon was raping me, just to yell out gods name and he will stop....why wouldn't god even let him START?

MOST PEOPLE NEVER REALLY CHANGE

by minimus in

jw

most people never really change!

our personalities, whether we are active witnesses or are inactive ones, apostates or almost apostates, are the same.

if we tend to rant here on this board, the probability is we were ranters elsewhere.

I have always been, and will always be, a brat. An opinionated, self-rightous, brat. Thats what gets me in trouble (well only the opinionated part). I have always asked too many damn questions, that will never change, and I hope it doesn't. I have grown up a little more and have gained knowledge, I hope through my experiences and further knowledge I can become an improved self-rightous, brat.

ADMIT IT, DIDN'T YOU FEEL SPECIAL being a JW?

by minimus in

jw
friends

remember, you had the truth!

everybody else didn't even have a clue!

the worldly people never understood our spiritual paradise.

jwbot

I felt stupid being a JW, and ashamed. I felt it odd that other JW's felt SO HIGHLY of themselves. They truly do feel (and are taught to feel) better than everyone else. So sad.

i this place a form of therapy for you?

is it a place you have come to and found it a source of healing?

i know this is not therapy in the professional sense.

jwbot

yes yes oh yes.
It is awesome here. hey rocky at first, but not so bad, over all, I am very glad to be a part of this board. It has helped clarify things for me, not to mention I am glad to be in a group of people that literally know where I am coming from.

friends

i've been reading and posting over at the jehovah's witnesses challenge & critique section of the mega-religion site beliefnet.

the moderator (a jw) is starting to get her undies in a bundle over some of the posts!

i think it would be cool if some others from here would go over there and rattle the cage a little.

jwbot

I am really making people mad in the "women in JW's" post. here: http://www.beliefnet.com/boards/message_list.asp?pageID=1&discussionID=178355&messages_per_page=4

lades, help me out! I hate this submissive crap. blech.

Sometimes I really get sad over my situation.
Even though I have never really been active in the cong. I still grew up in a "spirituall strong" family, my sisters all pioneering, my dad is also an elder-still. The reason why things might have been a bit easier for me to not be so active and good-goody is that my parents despite my beleifs had high hopes for me. I was "daddys little girl" and I believe my moms favorite too. Mother and I think alike and have always been able to relate. When it comes to my dad, I was just the youngest girl (with 2 older sisters) and I was a cute kid that said things worthy enough for "kids say the darndest things" tv show. I miss that, even though I was spoiled and I know it was wrong, I hate the fact that I had it-and lost it. I would rather have not ever been the favored one...so that I wouldn't know what I have lost.
A year or two ago, my Dad tells me that I was his favorite, but now he was just so dissapointed in me. It killed my spirit. I cry thinking about it now. I miss my parents, they way they were. I miss it so much. I don't miss the strict rules, but I miss the love. They support me a little more now, than a year ago...but its been a long struggle towards getting things back the way they were. I know I can not and will not change for them, I am who I am, but they are slowly beginning to understand they have to accept me. I am greatful that my parents are being good parents and havn't shunned me like I have seen in other families who disreguard and take for granted families, parents and children. They atleast seem to not put the religion in such a huge role in dictating their treatment of me. I still miss it though. I miss the way dad would snear at every guy that might have looked at me or the long talks my mother and I would have about current events and opinions. I miss my dad giving me cash as I ran off to the movies with friends. I know they are such little things, but they meant a lot.
