  Kairos,

  Thats what I felt from your post, just exactly how you last broke it down.

  I remember getting yelled at in service. Does that mean I was going to go try and find jws to yell at now , no of course not.But I have in the past to 'Defend my personal truth' and I did feel ashamed, honestly it was a mixed bag of emotions.

  I not long ago had a jw come knocking and I was about to cut loose but upon opening the door they had their maybe 5 yr old with them. I just said no thanks and closed the door and shed many tears. (I felt sorry for the child) It hurt seeing a little tike like I was at one point and feeling helpless to state any case.

  However Two elders passed by and was asking for directions and were being that fake nice pushy jw thing , so I told them the wrong directions. Wanted to yell, but it was a little satisfying to watch them circle again lost, giving me a look like "we wont bother him".

  It IS that 'trance thing' that keeps me from ripping them a new one. I even slip into cognitive dissonance sometimes and have to pull myself out of it. Grrr... This site is helping.

  Im plenty pissed, and completely heartbroken.

  But one thing Im trying really hard to do is put some 'faith' if you will, in what so many have said on this site. That it will and does get better. I have yet to find out. Hence, Im still really struggling.

  I felt connection with your post. It made me feel not so alone.

  I'll be real honest. I get totally jealous of others here that have family that are out and have some support beyond this site. I recognize that about myself and then I feel like crap for feeling that way.

  But so many others here have no support.

  Heres to hoping it gets better and better. I dont think I would be human or even a chance at normalish if I wasnt completely infuriated at it all.

  good news or bad news first?

  i'll do bad.. my grandmother is becoming more and more strict as i turn closer to 18, which is in 3 months.

  i ask for the most simplest thing and it's like "let me think about it" i don't wanna seem as a complainer to you guys but i just want to be normal.

  jdash- I don't wanna seem as a complainer to you guys but I just want to be normal.

  I wouldn't worry about the complainer part. I didn't see it that way and I guarantee no one else did.

  Your post is normal. Your feelings are normal given the circumstances.

  Jws are abnormal.

  I wish I could have grasped that my feelings were normal at your age. It took me until I was 40. Thanks to the heavy indoctrination in the WTBS cult.

  Congrats on college. Try to let no one rip that away from you.

  Id start just keeping things to yourself meaning dont tell your jw family or other jws if its going to cause you to feel the heavy guilt they lay on. You dont deserve that. Lfe journey cn be difficult enough without the extra burden of caring what they think.

  Care about what you think.

  I found the artwork odd , as I to thought that would be frowned upon.

  As far as what the lady said about the elderly ones not being allowed to do cart work, I dont know if it was just this cong or another reason. What you said Dio made sense.

  Kairos-To be perfectly honest, I am very angry, bitter and heartbroken.

  I totally get it.

  Must be nice for all the apostates to play nice with the jw as they have played nice with others. (rolls eyes) FUCK THAT!!!

  Sometimes you got to let it out. Sometimes.

  Many of my jw family has had no problem throwing it in my face( sometimes yelling) that Im going to die and even laughing at me. 20 years I put up with it.

  Now if I want to speak my mind aggressively. I muther fucking will, without anyones cheap ass approval.

  Within the constraints of the law.

  Yesterday I parked at a rest stop for a bit and there were 2 ladys at a cart. The cart sign was hand painted. ??? That was odd to me. But at least someone got to use their painting talents.

  Also I was listening to them talk to each other and one lady said that they didn't understand why the older ones couldn't do cart work , that it didnt make sense because they both had chairs to sit on and the older ones walk door to door.

  Is this just an isolated cong decision or is this happening other places?

  havana times – alfredo nunez elias was born with a congenital malformation which resulted in him losing a leg when he was 33 years old.

  this hasn’t prevented him from becoming a hairdresser and stylist, the creator of a hair-straightening product, a fashion designer and pastry chef.. when i met him in 2011, he was living in an apartment high up in a building that was in danger of collapsing in central havana.
