Who I Am
by yard dog ini would like to start out by saying how glad i am to find a forum to discuss issues in my life very few people understand.
i hope to learn a few things and possibly make some new friends along the way.
i'm 34 years old and have been disfellowshipped for 17 years.

My problem seems to be loving other people. I keep a relatively good distance from anyone outside my immediate family and don't want things to be that way.
Welcome Yard dog.
I can relate to that! The more you socialise the easier it becomes to get involved with people again. Even now I still find it hard to just embrace anyone and I guess thats ok, get to know people first and then take time to decide which ones you would like to spend more time around.
You dont have to love bomb people in the real world like we did in the JW world so there's nothing wrong with keeping people at arms length for a while....took me time to appreciate that.

NEW TO YOU ALL...MY STORY
by rebuilding94 ini was born into the witnesses in 1962, i was disfellowshiped when i was 18, because i decided to marry a catholic.
our first son was born 4 years later, and thinking i had to teach our son about god, which in it self is not a bad thought, so the only thing i new was the jw's teaching's, and yes i went back.. it took them 11 months to decide weather they would reinstate me, 11 month's of no one talking to me, no one coming to see my new baby, allways leaving befor the meeting was completely over, so as not to feel any more hurt then nessecary.
after i was reinstated i proceeded to raise our 3 children as jw's.

I got that same email today too! Also got all the others offering millions.
Must be someone spamming off this board perhaps? Poor us though, Perhaps they think we need the money more than anyone else?

I remember something else I seened
During memorial someone lit up a cigarrete in the hall! When confronted he said "Well that guy over there smokes all the time so why shouldnt I?"...he was pointing to a reg pioneer who eventually got caught and disd for smoking.
Then I seened something else but its real big gossip so wont tell
Bwahahaha to this:
the dumb sis who at a get together wanted us to all join hands and "let our spirits mingle"

(1) She is being protected from the consequences of her behavior so she can't learn; (2) You seem to be trying expecting to bring about change while rewarding the allegedly undesired behaviors
Words of wisdom mum.

Detachment and Experimentation
by joelbear ini don't know why i keep burdening this group.
no one else in my life can really relate to the intertwined emotions i am going through.

Joel you are going through a really hard time and I believe most here can empathise with you. I'm glad you realise that you can share how you feel with all on this board.
As regard detachment, if you feel its related to your time spent with the cult, then I would highly recommend reading:
Captive Hearts, Captive Minds : Freedom and Recovery from Cults and Other Abusive Relationships
by Madeleine Landau Tobias, et alIt deals detachment and also highlights triggers that set us off on the cycle of not coping.
