  do you believe in karma?

  by SpiceItUp in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we have all heard the cliche' "what goes around comes around" but do you really believe it?.

  i know this person that for many years has been unkind, devious and vengeful and then over more recent years has had bad luck everywhere they turned around.

  i mean one thing after another.

  I firmly believe that what goes around comes around. Like me testing the limits. One example parking in a no parking near my bank. Did it over a period of time and one day coming out of the bank and here was a slip on my windshield. $10.00 fine. Did'nt do it again. Thats one of my lighter experiences.

  Shortly before I Da'ed the encounter with jc and exhusband. A nightmare experience. I knew what comes around goes around. My tactic was to lay in the weeds. The truth came out. Grateful for my patience it pays at times.

  I believed that when I was a young child. I don't where I aquired the value. But its a good one.

  My apt number is 7. Its marked by the jw's as being DA'ed. So for 20 years they have not come to my door. I say that is a long time carrying a grudge!!!!!!

  Now that I have the armor to stand up to them. I blast them out their panties with my association to SilentLambs and certainly receive a ear full,

  I hope I get that opportunity!!!!

  Jobs you weren't aloud to have

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what job or career would you have loved to do, but being a jw, you weren't aloud to do that?

  and how about the college or university course you couldn't get because the end was too close.

  did you miss good job opportunities because of the watchtowers expectations?

  When first married. I was working for St.Mary's Hospital for 7 years. The elders told my ex-husb. That I could'nt work for a catholic hospital and dealing with blood products. This was in the 70"s. I was resentful and angry having to leave. I loved my job. Ex saying you can take care of other people and but not me. HUge Red Flag. But I tried to make it work. There are no pay offs for super caretakers.

  And guess what? Cleaning business 12 years!!. Job was like milking cows 7 days a week.

  Now the last 15 yrs. I'm working in a county hospital. Felt like I took my power doing what I love to do!!! I do at times work with blood products.

  My son-in-law (faded jw) who has his cleaning business. And is going to school for gun smithing. I am sure that would'nt fly with the elders!!

  What patterns we weave!!!!!!

  welcome Fruitcake.

  By the way I like your name. Altho I am not especially fond of fruitcake itself.

  I acknowledged two of his posts. Encourage him to share more about himself. We all have our own process of healing and honoring the feelings that goes with it all. And to be supportive to others and share ways how we can take care of ourselves.

  Like I said to Elumn in my way of taking care of myself is I don't engage in discussion of the bible. Its too upsetting for me to talk about. I would really hate to see him just go away. To give it time. Being cut off from family and the org. Is a HUGE LOSS. I support both of you to stay close. To know others who have gone through it.

  I felt like I walked through the wilderness for a long time. I was out for 19 yrs til recently of being alone and isolated. I thought I was the only exjw that experienced the abuses. In the last six months many doors were open in helping with my healing process.

  You have my support!!

  If I remember right. The picture of Jeff Anderson. Heidi and Bill Bowen was shown beforehand as one of the a introductions to Eye of America.

  One day I hope to be able to meet Jeff Anderson. Very caring and compassionate man. And shows his emotions.

  My therapist has high regard for Jeff. She has done work with him regarding abuse allegations.

  by zucker in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i'm wondering if i should just "come out of the closet" and tell my family i don't believe it anymore and da myself or don't make any noise and fade out?

  what are the benefits or problems with either choice?

  additionally, some have expressed concern over da.

  Well DA'ed and Df'ed. you are treated the same shuning practises. DF'ed of my understanding is thats a possibility of being re-instated. DA"ed you are totally wipe off the earth. Supposedly one did'nt belief the org doctrines.

  I was DA'ed because of the lack of understanding and support dealing with Domestic Abuse. My issues were not about doctrines but basic human rights.

  I support you in whatever decision you take thats right for you. And gives you a peace of mind.

  Wish the best.
