i decided to put an end to my affiliation with the jws for good.
this decision is not the result of an irrational impulse.
it is quite the contrary.
Well Esmeralda,
That was a great thread to read and all your responses to other posters were really nice, you have made some friends here that truly understand your experience.
You have also learned a life lesson about inappropriate behaviour and adults. I think you manage yourself really well and you will go far in your chosen career. I am sorry your parents need looking after but I hope this will not stop you from achieving your career goals.
Well done

sorry but i really feel like i need to rant right now.
recently my dad was made an elder so my family has been doing a lot more "theocratic" activities lately.
every morning i wake up and put on my itchy dress and stupid makeup and heels and then pretend that i love what i'm doing and that everybody is my friend when in reality i feel horrible and all the other teenage girls at my hall hate me for some reason.
Blackwolf,
I don't know if you will see this as you're not on often, but I have followed your whole story on here. I am very concerned for you and you only seem to have this forum as an external outlet to express yourself.
You need a real friend. I hope you can build the courage to get out your house and mix with people your age very soon.
Take Care

lol hahaha
It is funny but some JWs you can reason with and they leave. There is a whole exJW community that have left. So I say keep trying. It might just work

when i think about where i am at now in my life, in my marriage, with my kids.
why did i get involved with this cult?
i have brought out the cult personality in my wife and there no turning her back.
GTTM,
Sounds like you're not having a good day today. Some people can leave and live in a divided household. They can just enjoy their family and doing daily things.
I am divorced, and the divorce and custody battle is something I would not wish on anyone unless you're lives are at risk and children need to be protected form domestic violence or sexual abuse. Try and plan days out on Saturdays with your family and spend quality time doing activities with them to bring you all closer.

hello people.. i'm tired and a bit sick at the moment but i can't let anyone think that this is going to go away.... i am able to tell you a few things in order to prevent any confusion in the minds of those who are thinking that nothing will come of this arc;that nothing will effect the wtbts in america and other places.. i have been there and given my testimony.
helen milroy and her assistants were there along with another group of people who are there to lend assistance if you crack up at any time during or after the hearing.
i did not crack up but can see how this happens.. security is tight and anonymity is sacred to them as they want to protect all who come forward.
Hey Umby,
It sounds like you're going through another ordeal to see justice is done. Thank you for the update. You are inspiring. Well done.

been lurking around here for several weeks.

i'm a covert fade at the moment.
Nice to have you on board. Welcome and a great first opening post and introduction

jw girl non-jw guy.
tenuous boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
what is more likely to strengthen a relationship?.
You obviously like this girl. You have to establish how important being a JW is to her. If she wants to leave you might have a very nice future.

i remember going out with other jws after the memorial.. small gatherings.. picnics at some local landmark.. the feeling of closeness, camaraderie, friendship with like minded people you could trust.. haven't experienced it since i left.. really miss that..
Yes I agree, I miss the socialising. I have had a few social events this year, but I was used to socialising every weekend and my kids having a big social life too. It's all gone now, in general people don't socialise as much as JWs do.
I suppose that was the love bombing, so it was just a recruiting strategy.

paragraph 12 recommends that we meditate on the weekly reading for the theocratic ministry school.
ok, i'm splitting hairs here.
but there will be no more tms in a week.. somebody isn't keeping up with jehovah's celestial chariot..
Hahhaha great catch. Just proves there is no holy spirit guiding the writing depth.
Lol 😂

dear all, need some advice .
in my country one can get dfd for pretty much anything the bullies want to df you for.
but is there any specific guidelines that state one can or cannot be dfd for marrying a non witness.
Exactly what I am saying 3rdgen. I knew there would be an example. It depends on your status in the congregation
Elders sons can have sex and repent and just get a private reproof. It's all unjust.
