So, I had a thought about wicked spirits lately...

the whole reason i even got dragged into this jw stuff, and we didn't just become somebody's return visit they never came back on, is because my mom claimed that the demons were talking to her.

they told her that the jws knew the truth about them, so she called the local kingdom hall.

bible study was started, and that was that.

I am exhausted emotionally.

i have been reading ashley judd's 'all things bitter and sweet' autobiography, and it has exhausted me.

she paints a picture of neglect and abuse from early childhood on.

as i sat reading, i realised i was identifying with so much of what she wrote.. why, when having an emotional breakdown as a teenager, major obsessive compulsive disorder, obvious depression symptoms, would you refuse to get medical help for your child?

Were you afraid of "apostates"?
by everchangingworld in
1. jw
2. friends
i remember hearing rumblings of a few that had gone "apostate" and feeling absolute dread of the dark world they had stepped into.

i would re-double my studying efforts.

Did you feel guilty for not pioneering?

2. beliefs
i started pioneering the month i finished high school, and never stopped until i awakened, 17 years later.

it seems like the entire time, there was so much emphasis on pioneering.

every field service meeting seemed to have a part that communicated the message that jehovah would zap us at the big a. or people would die because of us if we didn't have extenuating circumstances (i always translated as bad health or kids, but even then, there were always "examples" of the mom with 5 kids that was pioneering).
