  A Complete lack of Empathy with a huge side order of Foulness !

  over the last few years i have experienced in general a lack of sincerity and empathy from jw's .. i won't lie 2 sisters i knew to be different and quite genuine ... all be it still sipping the 'cool aid' though.

  but on the whole most brothers/sisters i've met couldn't really care less or just have no idea how to genuinely connect.

  one sister asked me a year ago how things were with my husband (an un-believer) i replied " a bit strange right now" (in hindsight it was always made worse because i was in a cult!!

  Live by the sword, Die by the sword

  2. experiences

  i may be on a diatribe now but something has came back to me tonight.. during my studies i was always told that "silence is compliance".

  this would come up whilst i was 'putting on the new personality'.

  i would be reminded of possible social situations or associations where if my integrity was at all compromised by someone else's standards -my silence to their un-christian actions would be deemed as compliance.

  Just handed in my Disassociation letter

  2. experiences

  tonight my dl was posted by hand by my husband (a worldly guy).

  i had the luxury of being at work distracted whilst he posted it.

  i have been baptised for just over 2 years and studied since 2010. i couldn't take it anymore, not just the zealous dislike/disgust for 'people in the world' (this includes my husband and 99% of my family btw) but the obvious.... the investigations into child sexual abuse.
