I WILL NOT REPAIR YOUR WASHING MASHINE USE YOUR BLOODY HANDS

by nightwarrior in

a man was studying with the witnesess whom happened to be a old friend of one of my sisters, whom used to lead a very imoral life.

this guy turned up at sigle womens houses quite often.

anyway this nice man started studying the scriptures,after 18 months or so his wife even attended the meetings.

Have you read my story - sounds like my step father !

The JW Child

by be wise in

i just thought id write down a few things on how being brought up as a jw affected me as a child.

this is for my own personal healing.

1, made me very paranoid.

mattnoel

You hit the nail on the head there !!!!

Amazing how they mess up your life isnt it. You have to work twice as hard to adjust yourself to normality, its kinda like jet leg isnt it.

i don't know if it's ok to post names on this board, but i've been trying to find out about this for some months and can't (i don't have any 'connections' who are still in).. i heard a very well-known sister (beautiful, wealthy, pioneer, good-looking husband, parts on assemblies) from my old circuit committed suicide some time back.. anybody know anything about it?

i always admired and, honestly, really envied her, although i didn't know her personally.

i'm very curious.

mattnoel

Asleif - Stop putting yourself down !!! clearly from what has happened to her she was not happy. I bet you are more loved and cherished than you actually think.

Take that as a kick up the butt and remember what YOU have to offer and how important YOU are in others lives and dont be too harsh on yourself.

Thanks Hamas...........................clearly you live in the wrong part of the country although some points I can agree with you on, there is a lot of change going on.

Ravyn, Kent and Devon are wonderfull ! Kent is handy as it is very easy to get into London. As you know there is a hell of a lot to see in Kent including some ancient tombs such as Kits Coty (very pagan), Kent has a lot of history being such an ancient county nic Canterbury Cathedral. London is also the must for all Americans, if you are planning on coming I would be more than happy to help you find accomodation here thats reasonable as I know the area and whats around and would be happy to help you with tourist things to do depending on what you want to see. We also have easy access to the rest of Europe with trains running from my home town to Paris, Brussels, etc.

Being a Kentish Man I say come to Kent, and let me know if you want any help

If your thinking of moving here, Kent is VERY expensive and is going to get worse, we are second to London, depends on what you want and how much you have. I know the country quite well through work and travel so again I may be able to help guide you in the right direction.

Yet another simimilar story.

by enlightened in

i was told about this site from family members that have all survived/overcome being jw's.

i must admit it is wonderful and so disturbing at the same time, to read all of these stories.

it's amazing what a religion/cult can do to you, first by embracing you then completely consuming you.

Welcome buddy, hope you make many new friends and gain the support you need from here.
