I am exhausted emotionally.
by PaintedToeNail ini 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?

paintedtoenail i thought my jw childhood sucked,my experiences pale in comparasion know that we here feel your pain,i think kids that are born in the org really have it bad,and the worst part is when you have those ultrajw parents raising you.realize that you need to get the help you need and dont let your parents use that mind crap on you and come to the conclusion that you might never get the human response your supposed to get from them,they died a long time ago all that's left now is a borg.

So, I had a thought about wicked spirits lately...
by sd-7 inthe 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.

funny you bring this up, one of the most terrifying moments for me was as a kid there was a special talk on saturday with the co and at this meeting he talked about the demons and had a question and answer with the cong.I was so freaking scared to hear how some in the cong had dealings with the demons when they were in the world.We had one brother say how he was dealing with one demon that would come to him every night.He went on to say his first contact with the jw led him to try to grab the demon on his nightly visit and it emited a smell when he grabbed it once he said this several members in the cong vocally let it be known that yes they do emit this distinct oder.Needless to say i have never experienced a special talk like this the whole time i was in the org and i didnt get any sleep that night

Were you afraid of "apostates"?
by everchangingworld ini 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.
to me, "apostates" had gone over into the "dark side".

Did you feel guilty for not pioneering?
by brokethechain ini 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).
