  Why did you pick the name you have now

  by label licker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just wondering if your name describes what you saw, how you were treated when you were "in" or now "out", maybe your personality, ect.... i'm label licker and the why i picked this name was because of all the licking up one side of elders and down the other to either be an elder or ministerial servant.

  one time i was standing right in front of this brother who wasn't made an ms yet and he totally ignored me and talked right over my head speaking really loud trying to catch the co's attention.. got sick of watching the poor elderly sitting all alone or standing against the wall like a wall flower with noone to talk to and yet all these label lickers would take turns picking up the elders elderly parents and take them shopping and do their groceries at least four times a week while out in service, yet, there was noone there to take a meal to a sister who just got out of the hospital with a heart attack.

  when i had shown up at her apartment with a meal she asked if i could wash her private and change her bandages.

  Experimenting With New Ideas since leaving the WT

  by lovelylil in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have always been intrigued about why we dream and recently signed up for a course on dream interpretation.

  the course includes a great book written by sigmund freud.. this would have been oh soo taboo if i was still in the borg.

  probably would have been df'd for it.. was wondering how many others out there have studied a subject or experimented with new ideas that "mother" would not have approved of since leaving the org, and what you learned from it?

  48 hours of "what if" until I speak with my therapist

  by OccupyJehovahsWitnesses in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hey everybody,.

  so i just made an appointment with my therapist (these days i really only see someone when something specific comes up), as i need to discuss the statue of limitations in my state for child sex abuse cases.. i've actually been doing some preliminary work on a book that i'm writing, at the recommendation of a different (previous) therapist and in so doing have been reading the conti transcripts.

  i must say, she is quite the inspiration.

  Thinking People vs.Non-Thinking People

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  most jws do not think.

  they feel.

  they are told a certain thing and they simply accept it or just don't care all that much what the real facts are.
