hi all
I guess I am still a newbee here. I havent posted for a while. I am having some problems yet agian in my life. I really feel like my life has been on a "re-build" since `94...my disfellowshipping.
My husband left me and the kids a year after I left the Borg, ever since then my children have been going through such big issues in life ,..........Is this due to there dad leaving, and still not being a big part of there lives .or because we are shunned by most of our family and all old friends???
I have 3 teen all whom have there share of problems, I too have much hurt and anger because of my ex and the JW's, but its my youngest who Iam very worried about. My youngest (14) has been in and out of cousler's offices, therapy and a couple of "shrinks". Now she cuts, ( this is self inflicted skin cutting) she says she doesnt want to die,she says, it helps with the pain in her heart. I dont know how to help her?
I have no family that stands by me, mom is just waiting for me to fall so I go back to the borg begging for forgivness, NEVER. I wont go back, because I know the lies the JW leader's teach. I have found a new faith, at times like this I question, is God really there?
It has been a constant struggle ever since 1994.
advice, please
the other night i was talking with my sister on the phone and i asked her if she had ever questioned her faith?
my heart was pumping as i wasn't sure what her reaction would be, but she was so open and spoke freely with me and even as i brought up topics about the jw's as she is one she kept listening.
i'm sure it helped that i was only using watchtower quotes as she really could not dispute as it is what the slave has provided.. interestingly as a baptized jw she still didn't seem confident that jehovah would let her into the "magic kingdom" and she mentioned that she would only hope he would let her in.
way to go Beans
I admire folks who can tell it like it really is.
Fear took over my parents when I tryed to speak to them, now they wont talk to me at all.
I feel like Im the one who's stumped.
i have a been a little jehovah witness from the age of five years old to the age of eighteen and i still can't find a way to appreciate the life.
now i'm nineteen years old and i don't know what to do with this life and i'm almost always at my computer, in my bedroom.
why the hell do i don't go outdoor to do some funny activities?
Nichloas, your darn right's people care about you, your family,friend's, even those who read your post, including myself.
Im a mom of three teen's, my daughter is also on Paxil, she goes through the stuff you do , your not alone. She need's to do thing's at her own pace, every one has "a pace" you need to discover what that is for you, your in charge of your own life, Your journey is just starting and only you can make it bloom into what you want. Take it a day at a time, some days will be better that other's, just take them as they come, the good with the bad, the exicting with the boreing.(all of us have shitty day's)
Life is hard, and full of many challanges, hang in there, there will be so much for you to see and do. There are "coffee break's" in this life. The beauty all around you, the parties you have to go to, the girl friend's you'll have, may be traveling, the book's to read, and maybe one day marriage and kid's, so much to do and see.
Dont give up, and please dont beat your self up with negitive message's about your self. " you are wonderfully and beautifully made".
.........from a mom that care's.............
i'm new to the board.
i did post a topic on my ex husband the difficulties i have with him and sharing my children.
thanks for all the great advice and i have put a lot of it into place.. i just feel the need to let you all know who i am and how i got here.i have never really discussed this before (except with my new husband) i just found that most people didn't understand and weren't interested.
Hi, Ms Jam
Your story touched my heart. Glad you posted. I 'm happy that you found a good husband the second time around, there still is hope.
Yes God is love, not rules.
i 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.
hey lilacs
62 is my year too. Im 41 in Jan.
Turning 40 is not so bad, "they" say that life only gets better after 40, I can hardly wait.
I love the little "saying" you have at the bottom of your welcome
Thanx again to all for the very warm welcome.
karla and i came home for a quick shower and a change of clothes.
we ask that you keep our mother and our family in your prayers.
we posted a few weeks ago that our mother had been diagnosed with pancreas cancer and was given 6-18 months with chemo.
.....Karla,
Im so sorry for the pain that you and your family are suffering.
My prayer's are with you.
i'm 40+ female in n. tx.
i haven't been attending for at least 8 years.
i don't know if i'm df or da or just considered inactive.
Hi moreisbetter, Not boreing, at all.
Im new here too,welcome. I hope you experiance,what I have in the short time Ive been here. A real warm welcome.
I too kept stuff in, I think it hurt's us in the long run. The thing's that ex JW's have to endure is harsh and unusal punishment. So keep talking, and heal.

Hi Lady Lee
Ive been wanting to meet another ex, for many years now. I sent you an e mail, send one back, giving time's and place, that we can meet me.
Are there other ex's in the city? Is there to a meet up here?
Look forward to meeting you
i have never been on a forum before.
i was very happy to find this one while i was doing my research finding out the truth about the religion & just trying to heal from such a damaging religion.
i was raised in it from birth by a devout witness mother.
