  Hey Jacob,

  Thank for telling us the news. I am df'd and would have done things differently if I woke up before I was df'd. Why did you disassociate rather than fade?

  on another thread i was asked by fadetoblack about my asd.

  sorry ftb i didn't respond, but here is your post again and i will respond on this new thread.. i'm curious to know how you know you were born with asperger's syndrome.

  it seems to be extremely hard to clinically diagnose, but popular to self-diagnose.

  Thanks rebelfighter for your post. I also think that as it's a spectrum disorder some things are more challenging than others depending on the individual and sometimes it changes with circumstances. So sometimes it can be hard for a professional to always catch and might be overlooking the problems with diagnosis.

  the netherlands has recognized the church of the flying spagetti monster as an official religion !!.

  i am so tempted to join it openly, and see what the reaction of the jw's is, surely they should df me for joining another religion?.

  but how silly would that make them look !

  What, you mean you are going to be involved in multiple religions and be polyreligious instead of loyal to one?

  I'm curious to know how you know you were born with Asperger's Syndrome. It seems to be extremely hard to clinically diagnose, but popular to self-diagnose. Seem's to be the rage for the past several years.
  To be honest, from what I have read, I appear to be on the same spectrum. Not even sure if it is 'bad' just different. -FTB

  I was diagnosed at age 36 I am 42 now and was told by professionals I was born with it. It is very hard to diagnose and there sometimes are traits but a full diagnosis is not given, it depends on the professional. You may very well have it and it's good to know if you really want to work on your difficulties and focus on your special abilities.

  I don't know how the health system works in Poland today, but when my mother was young other illnesses were the priority. I know she has it too, but in the same vein a lot of Eastern Europeans are more passionate than the reserved British individual, so she may stand out as different because of her culture.

  I have felt a sense of relief being diagnosed. So if you think you have it pursue diagnosis and get second opinions you might get support and help that will benefit you and your family members.

  Thanks for asking

  Stepping out of the shadows

  by contramundum in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have been lurking on the site for a few months and thought it about time i plucked up the courage to step out of the shadows and say hello.. i am in the process of fading after realizing all is not right with the organization i had trusted implicitly for over 40 years.

  there have always been 'truths' i have struggled to accept entirely, even as a child, but was confident that trusting in jehovah, building my faith and remaining patient would be enough to settle any nagging doubts that remained, so i pushed any inconsistencies to the back of my mind and concentrated on being the best witness that i could be.. over the last few years, however, i have been preoccupied with a number of crises in my family and stepping back slightly from 'theocratic' activity has allowed me to re evaluate a number of concerns and research sources other than the sanitized wt publications.. my eyes are now wide open - i found things which have appalled me and left me feeling extremely let down and disappointed by people i had really trusted.. i tried gently raising a few subjects with my mum (who was baptized early '70s and still remains a staunch wt supporter) but she will hear no criticism of the organization.

  i understand this because the best part of her life has been invested in the religion and to acknowledge it may have got things wrong would be to recognize the last 40 years have been a vain waste.

  Welcome Contra,

  You say you talk about family when you respond.

  Do your kids and spouse miss meetings too with you?

  Welcome to the board.....I hope you keep your loved ones as friends when you leave

  Take care

  What do you think of the phrase " You don't have all the facts, and I am not in a position to tell you what I know"?

  what do you think of the phrase " you don't have all the facts, and i am not in a position to tell you what i know"?.

  has this phrase ever been used with you?

  i have my own opinions at present but i don't want to express them yet as they are subject to change.. kate xx.

  Thanks everyone for you're comments. I have come to the conclusion that I don't like it used with me and so I won't use it with others unless they don't deserve all the facts. But I am an open kind of person and I want others to treat me with openness.

  I am going with exactly what SBF it saying on the matter. If someone doesn't want to give me all the facts then their argument is weak and I won't trust anything else they say on the matter.
