Happy Thoughts I absolutely agree with you. I can not stand this "woman"; when I hear her on the radio i immediately change the station.

Sometimes I roll over and go to sleep; sometimes hubby rolls over and goes to sleep. Does it mean we don't love each other? NO! It means one of us just isn't in the mood. But the days we are both "in the mood" ....

We did it, we got out!

by MonkeyPrincess in

we moved out of my parents house last week.

this was so difficult since im df'd and they were only talking to me since we were living with them.

of course i was prepared for what was coming, the yelling, talking, and especially the guilt trip.

Mystery

Unconditional - a word not in JW's vocabulary.

Always keep that word foremost in your mind.

Unconditional what a wonderful way to be!

Good times and bad..... you have each other.

(((all three of you)))

the elders may be gone but soon i will be alone

by the mole in

the word has spread to my family that i questioned my sister and the elders came to my home..several of my aunts had called already and my one uncle from georgtown ca....they being so very concerned on my spirtitual wellbeing have forgotten that i have questions on why the organization does what it does.

i finally confessed to my uncle sam that last year another m.s approached me and told me his crimes against a new sister's child while he watched them one night when she was at a get together with other brothers and sisters.

i cringed at what my uncle has said but to argue with him would have been a brick wall.

Mystery

The JW ways haunt us all. The first time I bought a Christmas tree ornament I had so much guilt that I threw it away. You can?t just discard everything you have been taught for 36 years overnight. You have to take small steps and take them one at a time. I have been ?fading? for over 20 years and I still can?t give anyone a straight answer about God.

(((mole))) don?t try to do it all at once. In a previous post you mentioned that you had teenagers. Are they JW?s? Do you have custody or their mother? Are they late teens or early teens? If they are early teens you still have time to become very involved in their life; late teens will be a little harder but you can still do it. Find something you enjoy and the times that you are feeling desolate and alone make yourself do it. You only have a few years left with your kids ? make them count. You can always come and ?post?.

I poured my heart out when I first found this site. I felt I was going crazy. I don?t post a lot, but when I am feeling like I am falling apart again, I come back here and read and read and read. I am also a 3 rd generation JW. I haven?t been DA?ed or DF?ed yet. Read Crisis of Conscience and the other publications put out by Ex-JW?s, you are not alone. I have met a couple of people because of MeetUp.com here. I am not from here, so I don?t know any JW?s or Ex-JW?s ? but I meet a lady thru an email address on Meetup and we are getting together, with a few other Ex?s she knows next month. I am really looking forward to it.

276,483 years from now.....

by SanFranciscoJim in

jw
friends

jehovah's witnesses are taught that they will live "forever" on paradise earth.. let's say the year is 278,486 (assuming armageddon occurred in 2003).

the millenium has passed, everyone has been resurrected, and earth has become the true paradise the jws predicted.. only one problem: you've done everything there is to do.

you've gone every place on earth there is to go.

Mystery

Without many JW's having an education how would this "world" continue to exist? Electricity? Running water? I was taught - it will be like in the days of Adam and Eve....... no "basic's" that we "have to have" now. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy camping outdoors - but i am happy to get home to my hot running water, bathroom and kicking back watching a movie on TV.

Are there enough ?intelligent? (I am not being condescending) survivors that have the knowledge for the things we take for granted like electricity? My generation was not encouraged to have a higher education at all. All of my JW nieces and nephews are now being home-schooled and many others in their area.

What will the world be like 276,483 years from now..... with the education of JW?s only?

Mystery

I would try to send a copy of the letter to any JW that I cared about, so that they can read the reasons.

You said that you had moved; if you are close enough to drive, you could have flyers on everyone's car for all to see when they leave the meeting. All the brothers and sisters that make a quick exit would get to see one anyway. Let the elders, clean up and explain that. But I guess a more professional way would be to put it in the newspaper.

If you wanted to be cremated after your death...

but could foresee the future and saw that your body was thrown into the woods to rot, would it bother you?

Mystery

Like Fe2O3Girl I am a organ donor as well. Let someone take what they can use and burn the rest.
