  so it has been a bit since i wrote seriously on here and today i had a great reminder of what i am up against.. my mom has deteriorated fast and i really am not looking forward to what i am going to need to do regarding her.

  she and i have had a strained relationship if you have read any of my older post you sould see how absolutely ugly i felt about her.

  well this month she fell and hurt herself 4 times in a day.

  You need to redefine your definition of incest. What your Bf did was not incest. My Bro-in-law is married to his cousin and they have three beautiful, intelligent children.

  If he makes you feel "creepy" it's time to move on. The fact that he feels guilty and is making a big deal of it shows that he felt it was wrong and he did it anyway. If he was truely coersed into a sexual relationship then he needs help to move on, otherwise it's you who should be moving on.

  i managed to pick a therapist who knows nothing about jws - lucky me.

  i sent him the following summary.

  would you say it's fair/objective and accurate?

  You forgot the 5 meetings a week, which are manditory if you want to remain in good standing with the congregation and God.

  How else could they pound that drivel into our brains?

  Blackpearl was right: Coeur d'Alene, Idaho is everything you asked for in your list. We considered moving there, but it doesn't rain enough for us, we really like rain

  It's beautiful there.. and housing prices are still within reason. They have four solid seasons. It's not a huge city, but Spokane Washington is close enough to go shopping in when you feel the urge for a big mall.

  Should I Do Something To Help My Friends And Family?

  by Morocco in

  i am no longer a jehovah's witness.

  i stopped believing about a year and a half ago.

  i have been quietly fading into the background and i don't think i will get disfellowshipped any time soon because of various different reasons.

  This is just like where I am at with my family. I get so frustrated!! I am very good at keeping silent, I'm totally non-confrontational so this is easy for me. But the silence is eating me from the inside out. I keep thinking I will try to slip in small remarks to make them think without sounding totally apostate, but the situations presented seem to be all or nothing, and I'm not ready to be completely shunned as an apostate.

  My fear is that one of these days I will explode and go on a rant that will completely alienate family and do no good, I'm not sure how much longer I can hold it all in.

  I guess this doesn't help you at all, except to say you're not alone in feeling this way. If you do get it figured out.. let me know!!

  Cool site, I'll have to do some more reading..

  On the When religion knocks on your door thread someone called JWD a JW site :) they said: "a JW site, unfortunately"

  We can only hope the JW's make the same mistake and get an eyefull of apostate!!

  Help settle a debate. Internet relationships...

  by esw1966 in

  1. jw

  a stay at home dad posted on craig's list that he was looking for platonic email correspondance with a lady, someone to talk about life with, insights into relationships, a reason to turn on the computer in the morning et cetera....... my fiance occasionally finds herself seeking relationships with select people online and getting into soulful conversations with them.

  she feels that people can be their truest selves in these moments.

  to share the quirks of life with random fellow americans is somehow thrilling to her.

  You can definatly have a meaningful relationship with someone online. That's how I met my husband. While I was still married to my 1st hubby... We were just friends, of course, and he was a great help when I was going through my seperation.. a cyber shoulder to cry on. He was so understanding. He listened. He understood. He was everything my 1st husband wasn't.

  Would I still be married to first hubby if I hadn't met someone? No, but it would have been a lot harder to leave without the emotional support I recieved from my online friend. (we really were "just friends" until after the seperation, we didn't even meet face to face until two months after I left)

  My recomendation would be to be cautious, ask her not to write anything that she wouldn't be comfortable with you reading.. or saying, for that matter.

  Misty

  PS.. the straw that broke the camels back with my ex was the relationship he had with someone online, ironicly, but he had taken it way too far past the "just friends" stage. The graphic sexual nature of their "conversations" was more than I could take.

  i left 6 months before i found this place........but if i had found it 15 years ago, i would have been one of those fighting tooth and nail for the watchtower bible & tract society.. i know this board has helped 100's if not thousands of people with the real truth about the organization............ in the face of logic and reason, how could it not!.
