Forgiveness--How to Make Peace With Your Past and Get On With Your Life
by blondie indr. sidney b. simon and suzanne simon .
i re-read this book every 9 months or so because forgiveness is an on-going process.
i'm constantly coming in contact with people, jws, non-jws, ex-jws that are working through forgiveness regarding some part of their life.. .

You all brought me to tears. I've been dealing with so much anger lately that I'm having a hard time letting go of. -

I have a couple of good ones that I can't verify, but that I heard in public talks.
1} Gingerbread men were copies of people sacrificed to the sun god during Saturnalia
2) Stonehedge in (is it Scotland or Ireland) was put together by the Nephilim

I Waited Until My Wedding Night To Lose My Virginity And I Wish I Hadn't...
by Divergent ini found this article interesting & just wanted to share.
after going through my teenage years trying to be the perfect jw, i realized that trying to live up to the standards imposed on me have been for worse & not for better.
i was feeling miserable, repressed, unfulfilled, with a great lack of self confidence & self esteem.

Wow, I'm surprised so many women are that sexually repressed on this thread. I had the opposite problem. My JW husband was the one really repressed. Clearly him being raised a JW made him that way. Either that or he's too afraid to come out of the closet, which I've suspected for years. I was the one with the really high sex drive. We fought about it a lot. I even got on meds because they suppress your drive. I knew within 2 weeks that I made a big mistake marrying him. We all know there's so few single and available people in that org that chances are good you're going to end up with someone you're not compatible with. We're all so guilted into the sanctity of marriage and that J hates a divorce that so many people stay in unhappy marriages. I did for 11 years. -

I'm new to posting to this site, but have been reading it for the past couple of years.
Since I left the organization I have not had a single elder or other JW come visit me to try to lure me back. Nor have my JW family members tried. They're too busy trying to recruit new members. I knew when I left I would lose a lot of close friends, which I did, and I still really miss some of them. I did have foresight to make sure I made new friends outside the org, before leaving and reconnected with some ex-jws.
It was really funny one day when my old PO and a regular pioneer showed up on my doorstep, not realizing I still lived at my house. I was going through a divorce from now ex husband who has been a JW his whole life. We weren't supposed to still be living together and apparently he had told everyone I had moved out. They were shocked to see me there. Stupid me for protecting the ex since he'd been having an affair with an active sister for the past year and lying about it. I didn't tell them I was still living there. I said I had just stopped some of my belongings. Then the two of them quickly walked away to go harass my neighbors.
No loyalty to family or friends if you choose not to be a JW. So much for true Christianity.

The January 1st Watchtower Admits That JWs Have Been Wrong As To Their Expectations Of The End!...but
by minimus inthey excuse it by saying, it's ok since at least they were on the watch.. i believe they should think about god's view of watchmen who constantly gave false pronouncements.
they would be judged accordingly by god!.
