  My Therapist Must Think I'm Absolutely Nuts!

  by Swan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  every week i go in and tell my therapist these fantastic stories about the religion i was raised in!

  i think he believes me, but then when i think about it, it sounds too fantastic to be true.

  he must think i'm absolutely insane.

  by Swan in

  2. entertainment

  one of my favorite computer games is the sims, but i got to thinking that if i was still a jw, i probably wouldn't be allowed to play it.

  there were so many things growing up that we couldn't play with or do because of this or that regulation.

  examples:.

  TO JESIKA

  by Swan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i wanted to express to you how i felt at the vicious conduct of fred hell towards you earlier today, but i did not want to post it to his thread.

  as a general rule i avoid posting to troll threads; it only helps them to get their rocks off.. i just wanted you to know how much i admire you and admired the way you stood up to him today.

  insensitive people like that do not think about anyone else, only themselves.

  it's been about two weeks since i came here.

  i've been having a lot of depression and nightmares concerning my family and the jws.

  Seeking your opinions on contacting relatives

  by Swan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's been eight years since i have spoken to any of my relatives.

  some (cousins, nieces, nephews) were young children at the time; now some are 18 and older.

  they are not allowed to speak to me, but of course those rules don't apply in the reverse.
