  I just wanted to start this post of,as I am fine and I have dealt with it.When I was a JW,I was forced to have sex with a non-JW.To keep the story short,I went to the elders for some support and comfort.I felt guilty and ashamed for what happened.They asked me if I screamed and fought.I said no..a lot but he still kept doing what he wanted.I knew the guy enough to know he was a jerk and he had no problems hitting a females.There was circumstances going on that we had to be around each other and he abused that moment to do that.He was angry at his woman and drunk.

  Well back to the story....they told me where I didn't scream enough and fight him enough.I sinned and to ask Jehovah for forgivness.I was like fine and went home...that was another reason I left the JW's.That hurt..I thought these men were suppose to give me loving counsel but thery just made me feel horrible and that mabey I was asking for it.I know I didn't,I said no. Like I said I am strong and have moved on.

  Do something about your life.............

  by Dawn in

  it seems that no matter how successful i am in life (family, career, social, money, etc...) it doesn't matter to my mother......her comment is always something like "when are you going to do something about the truth".

  i get so agrivated that i want to scream!!

  i have explained to her that i no longer believe the governing body to be directed by god - she knows i don't believe it is the truth any longer - yet every few months she says "when are you going to do something about your life" - it's like she's talking to a recovering drug addict just coming out of rehab with no job and nowhere to live.....do something about your life..........she just doesn't get it.

  Sometimes I don't believe the bible is totally 100%. "I" think God wouldn't allow his word to be so confusing and so many ways to interpet it.Sometimes I don't really know what to believe,when it comes to it.I take it the way I want.

  my sister who is still a jw called me today and was talking to me about my "situation".

  i said to her that i am studing, doing research and trying to find my way and what i believe.. i said how mum said is pleading for me to go back to the meetings and i said to my sister that i cannot make up my own mind if i am at the meetings.

  her reply was "the only way you can is at the meetings because that is where you get holy spirit from.".

  I was a scared at times,what about if it is true,until I started to learn "ALL the crap" about the WTS.

  The so called new lights ,when the old lights don't add up any more.,with all the foolishness that is going on,God's spirit isnot there.

  I have a little story,It may sound corny to yahs,but here it goes.

  When I'm pregnant,I become very sick for months and months and end up in the hospital.My BF's family are very spiritual and love God.I didn't know but they prayed for me,and the next day as soon as I woke up I felt God and that they prayed.I felt 80 % better and I stopped getting sick constanly.With all honesty I felt God's Spirit and God helped me.

  So I know we donot need to be a JW to have God's love and Spirit and I must admit ,I still had that JW mind saying ...mabey satan answered the prayer(lol)..No it was God.
