  last weekend while i was checking out garage sales, i swear i saw about 10 "pairs" of dubs doing their important work.

  they were handing out the pamphlets for the convention.. i've never seen that many in one weekend.

  was there some sort of special, motivational request for doing the preaching work last weekend?.

  i have been told by some in the cong that i don't seem to be as happy anymore..."what's wrong?

  " they ask..... i feel like screaming out "i'm not happy because i'm going insane living a sham fake life stuck in the org pretending to be a good ms and witness!".

  i really do feel it is taking a toll on me...and even the damn bros and sis are now seeing it!.

  Just tell them you accidentally dropped a tract in the toilet while wiping. They'll understand.

  i was hoping you could help me with a little research project.. for reasons that are a little hard to explain, i'm interested in watching videos of beatles songs that are performed by anybody except the beatles themselves.

  i'm especially interested in performances by people from foreign countries, (i'll provide a few examples.

  ) but feel free to add any other interesting videos.

  i blew up and dumped my girlfriend on monday over a silly little thing.

  it's been happening in pretty much every relationship i get involved in.

  it never happened before my marriage.. during my marriage, i was alone almost all the time.

  It really doesn't have to do with my self-esteem and my depression. I'm generally positive and self-confident. It's more like a trigger that gives me these high emotional spikes that I have difficulty controlling. They cause me to do stupid things.

  I've been playing phone tag with the counselor to get a session in. I just figured out my problem like yesterday, and I'm dying to get myself on the road to recovery. This problem has been a plague for the last 4 years, and now that I finally know what's wrong with me, I'm determined to get it under control. I picked up a book called "The Journey from Abandonment to Healing" which is sitting on my Kindle, waiting for some child-free time to focus on it.

  I'm in Canada. It doesn't necessarily have to be in person. I'm wondering if there's a message forum dedicated to it.

  During my marriage, I was alone almost all the time. When I would ask my wife to spend time with me, she had better things to do.

  After doing some internet searching, it seems that I have abandonment issues. I need to get myself on the road to recovery because I can't keep ruining relationships with good people. Does anyone know where to get some good support for this?

  This is a story about a (former) elder in my KH. This was the PO for many, many years. He used to always call me when I didn't turn in my FS report. I attended a funeral at the KH 4 years after I had left, and he greeted me with a 'hello', but just left it at that.

  Three years ago, his wife died of cancer. According to the rumors, he ended up with a worldly girlfriend for a brief time. He ended up getting DFed. He returned to the KH to repent which of course meant sitting in the back and having nobody talk to you. He did that for two years and never got reinstated. He has apparently ceased going to the KH now.

  I feel bad for him and tried to see if him or his son were on FB. Nothing. The latest rumor was that his son (who is a baptized brother) showed up at the KH without a tie on. Perhaps he's doubting now as well???

  How many in the cong visited you when you started fading

  i'm just curious speaking from a person who has stopped going to meetings.

  i have heard reports from inactive ones (or from ones who the elders suspect of going to the dark side) of having so many visits from elders (cong members) that it got to the point of harassment.

  surprisingly i have to say from personal experience and from numerous others that i have spoken to that the exact opposite has been the case.

  Let's see... I had people in the congregation calling to talk to my mother, and when I answered the phone, they would tell me they missed me. After a while, I quit answering the phone if it wasn't for me. There was also my shepherding call - if that counts. After that (and after I moved out), an elder who gave me a set of stereo speakers years ago came by to take them back. In the JW religion, everything is conditional.
