  Alone in a house full of people

  by LovesDubs in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those of you still married to a jw...have you ever felt like you were living alone even tho there is a person on the other side of the bed?

  i sure do...he has this whole "secret life" and all his jw friends and jw relatives and wont have anything to do with my friends or my relatives, even tho most of them never were jws....so we dont do anything together as a couple.

  i mean zip.

  I´m with Francois on this one....leave the selfish bastard and get a good life on your own.This isn´t good for you or the children.

  I know, I was there myself once.Life is soooo much better without a "man" like that.

  Have you ever tried to pay a compliment and got blasted

  by larrynbabies in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i know us men aren't the most clever people on earth but sometimes we say things that are meant to be a compliment and we get slammed.. my ex-wife was saying once, that she thought her hair was getting thicker and i, in my logical way was trying to figure out if this could really be true.

  i then thought about the fact that she had recently lost wieght and without thinking any further i blurted out.... "your hair is not getting thicker your head is not as fat.".

  this is a true story.

  When I came to Denmark I didn´t speak a word of Danish.In my (danish) husbands company there was a man who alwys referres to his wife as"saurian" in Danish "øgle".I really thought it was her name.Why not, there were so many other names that sounded strange to me like Tove,Bjørn,Askild or Bent.

  One day this man´s wife came to pick him up from work,and I wanted to be nice to her so I said Hello, how very nice to finally meet you Saurian.The deep silence that followed made my face turn red.I knew something was wrong but WHAT??

  The woman first gave her husband a dity look, and then said to me with ice in her voice my name isn´t Saurian it´s Gitte.

  Well, how was I to know?

  Suicide and JW'S

  by obiwan in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have personally had experience with this.

  a long time friend committed suicide because of her husband and the problems they were having.

  he abused her and ended up leaving her, the elders wouldn't help out much stating that it was a marital problem.. she couldn't cope with him leaving, she was extremely dependant on him, she felt the only way out was suicide.

  Dear Dede

  I´m new here but have read the sad story about your mom.I´m so very very sorry for both you and her.Your poor mom who couldent stand the pain anymore and you who must be so very strong .

  Being a mother myself I can only say:make her proud of you.I wish I could say something to make the pain go away for you, I can´t,I know,but please know that my heart is with you and I have you in my prayers.

  I´ve lost a dear friend in the same way because of the WT.He was the sweetest man you could ever meet and he was gay.That´s why he thought death was better for him.No help to his family,very few to his funeral(and that after all he had done for others) It´s so tragic.

  To me the WT is like a mother who eats her own children.

  I had so many doubts all the time,but I was afraid of armageddon,afaid my boy´s would die and I was responsible for them.The lack of love,the hypocrisy,the cliques,the lies...Last year when my son was having terrible headaches,they all thought he was a hypochondriac. On our holiday to Greece I had to take him to hospital,the flight back was a nightmare for him (and me)One day it got so bad that I drove him from school right to the doctor,where my son threw up and almost fainted.We were sent home and a doctor came to our house every 3 hours,they thought that it might be a brain tumor.I sat at his bed all night and prayed like mad for God to save my child. My boss is a jw.I called her and told her how ill my son was so I had to take a few days off to take care of him. This sis is the newspaper of the cong. so they all knew what was going on.Not one came to see him or called us to hear how he was doing.Ever. A few months after this my son broke his leg and had to lie home with his leg in a special frame to keep it elevated.Not one from the cong came to see to him.Ever.

  Today the boy is healthy-it wasn´t a tumor.Thank God.

  When we after the group study had a cup of coffee a sister asked what he was going to do after the holidays I told her that he was going to do high school and then, just like his big brother,university.He want´s to be a doctor. There fell a deep silence.Then the sis said "that´s a long study" After that he was NEVER again invited to social gatherings for the youngsters.

  My son is over it and can say with a grinn that he´s going to enjoy their faces when the see him as a doctor.

  These were the things that made me look for answers. I wanted to find out why I was so unhappy with being a jw,what could I do to be a better dub? I went on the net and typed Jehovah´s Witness ...and here you were allof you

  Every thing I had been struggeling with,and thought I was me who was wrong,was told by somebody here. Halleluja! I was not alone.And it wasn´t just me.

  Thank God for the internet.

  And by the way,my son has a+ on all his exams.After missing so much school I find that so fantastic.

  How do women do it ????? Do you have no self respect ?????

  by run dont walk in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  125 years of the watchtower, and women are still considered garbage.. they cannot give talks, have a position in the congregation, cannot lead a study when a man is present, give a prayer etc etc etc etc.......... they can be of the annoited class, but a man who is a ms, still has more say !!!!!!!!!!.

  to all the women on this board, did this ever bother you as a jw, and does it bother you know ???.

  how can women sit at a meeting and in a round about way be treated like garbage and accept it ????

  I have always hated the way the WT is against woman.When you are a single parent (woman) you are all in one, mom,dad,carpenter and so on you work hard go to school meetings sit by the sickbed of your childeren take care of your old parents + the dub thing,you know, meetings FS, assemblies...but get no respect.

  When a man is alone with a child,the dubs(sisters!!) respect the poor soul,all alone with a child or two, we must help him with everything, -and in no time he´s remarried.This strong man.

  Haven´t you ever seen a sister becoming very ill and the single sisters hang around just to grab the man as soon as she is gone?I have seen it twice in my old cong.One time the poor woman had only been dead in 3 months before he remarried-it was hard on his kids.(and they were in their 70 s!)

  When a woman is alone,you are only usefull for the work others "have no time" to do,cleaning the hall,helping the oldies,FS and do not forget: donations.But they do not like you to speak your mind.Well,like Bliss (hallo Bliss) I did it anyhow,they told me it would be hard for me to find a loving brother because I was to outspoken.Ha! If I had to live as the wife of one of those braindead dubs I would start dating out of my species!

  How in the name of God can they keep women down the way they do?

  Anyone Here Been To A Greek Island?

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've booked a week in corfu, a greek island, commencing july 20. it's our first visit to greece.

  we're staying at a little place called paleokastritsa.

  the guide books say it's unsuitable for old people (too steep), teenagers (too quiet), or children (too dangerous, high peaks).

  Hallo Englishman,

  O,you are going to have such a fantastic time.

  Last year I went to Kreta with the children and we are absolutely going back.A good idea would be to rent a car and go sightseeing,there is so much to see and it´s all so different than we are used to.

  We did that and often we had a meal in one of the small local restaurants-the food is very good,we often had something of wich I have forgotten the name,but it´s a sort of toast with chopped tomatoes and fresh cheese.A little basil and oliveoil on top...hmmm.It may not sound like anything but it tastes fantastic!

  On the way from our apartment to the local village we always passed a few goats who seemed to live of nothing,just some dry grass-and we felt sorry for them.So we would keep the old bread and bring it along for the goats.Now never tell me a goat is stupid because after a few days they knew us and would come running towards us when they spotted us.....

  One day we didn´t have any old bread and we had to go to the village,of course,there were the goats again.We felt so sorry for them and my youngest son just couldent go away without giving something to the one who looked most hungry- but all he had was his chewing gum.The puzzeled look on that goats face was priceless,it just stood there chewing and chewing with such a funny expression.When we came back later on it still stood there still chewing along.

  But-as the boy´s said:what a fresh breath that goat had!
