I hated being told that we had to "love" but to hate everyone that wasn't a witness. I saw so many good "worldly" people and I hated being told they were all bad.

My mother and I were followed more than once. And harrased on the phone. Sometimes we'd come home and there would be over 20 messages on the phone.

How many out here.....
by tazmaniac inhow many out here know a loved one or know of someone who suffers from depression and it is from being in the borg and never feel you are doing enough.
my ex wife would always lapse into a few month state of depression right after a visit from the c/o and getting pounded on about f/s hours or not enough studies or not enough pioneers yadda yadda yadda.
i know with my ex that the constant fear of armageddon and feeling inadequate was a depression trigger ready to be pulled at any instant.

Gordy, My heart goes out to you. This is certainly the place to be to find people who are going through similar things. My mom and sister and of course the congregations are shunning me. It is kinda strange though, I haven't been dissaccosiated or disfellowshipped that I know of. Anyway, I'm sorry and understand how hard this is.

Maybe you should search yourself for what you really miss...
* Perhaps a group of people with a like cause
* A feeling of belonging
* Some sort of organized religion..
make sure you can't get that feeling from somewhere else before you automatically try to find it again in the borg

Were People Always Trying To Give You Advice?
by minimus indid you find that people , either in the congregation, or in general always tended to try to tell you what you should be doing?
were you always given counsel by the brothers or sisters to "help' you?
how did you react when certain ones were always ready to tell you what you should do?

nope... people were always so uneasy around my family, my mom being the insane partaking apostate and all.. they mostly just looked uncomfortable and shifted from foot to foot when forced to speak to any one of us.
