Lots of great advice here.
I hope you get the help you need.
I truly despise these jw idiots for making people feel so crap about themselves.
Just remember , it's an EARTHLY organization. Nothing to do with God or Jesus.

Hard time coping with shunning
by bsand20 init's almost 1am and i can't sleep...again.
i hate to think the organization is still taking my sleep from me 16 years later but i can't help it.
i run a page on social media for ex jw support and advice and i'm usually there helping others but it definitely takes a toll on me when i'm having to argue and disprove jws that troll my page.

Write things down that are on your mind before bed, or a "to do" list.
Keep a notebook on your bedside table for in the middle of the night worries.
Lavender on the pillow is brilliant.

The Reason Why JWs Won't Leave The Cult Is Because They Won't Think!
by minimus inthey simply refuse to think, to reason, to ponder.
they are lazy!.
even if they might feel that something isn't right, they won't research an issue or a question.

Not on jw.org - comments regarding bad Jehovah's Witness employees
by jwfacts ini used to be very impressed with convention experiences regarding how worldly employers would hire jws because they were known as the most honest workers.
i was too indoctrinated to realise these were selective experiences, and there are plenty of experiences of jws being dishonest in the workforce.
i have received a couple recently by email.. i have cut quite a bit out of the following email i received so that the person and company cannot be indentified, but you will get the message.. .

A friend of mine at church told me a funny story.
She worked in a card shop with a fellow jw. Come Christmas, the JW employee ALWAYS collected her Xmas bonus and talked about how she would be spending it in the January sales.
Some witnesses would'nt work in card shops because of all the evil Birthday, Easter, Valentine and Xmas cards - the shop must be crawling with demonz!!!!!

Been having a "good old clearout" this week and one of the areas I have gone through is the personal stuff. You know, old letters, photos, postcards and the like.
Well, I have finally got rid of my Baptism cards. The congratulations cards....the WT ones, the ones with sheep on etc.... All gone. They dated back to 23/09/2000.
Has anyone else "purged" their witness past this way?
It feel really good but in a calm way.

I hate being so angry about shunning.
by quellycatface insince i kicked up a fight regarding shunning at my local supermarket, i am still angry.
because, only this morning i received a look of contempt from one of my ex-friends/sister.. i really feel like telling her what i think of her behaviour but i guess that would only enforce the "persecution complex"!!!!.
just venting.

Since I kicked up a fight regarding shunning at my local supermarket, I am still angry. Why, you may ask?? Because, only this morning I received a look of contempt from one of my ex-friends/sister.
I really feel like telling her what I think of her behaviour but I guess that would only enforce the "persecution complex"!!!!
Just venting. Thanks for reading.

Hubby's tempted to go back
by jgnat intoday he kept bumping in to (or rather dodging and weaving from) fellow witnesses.
he's talking about returning but can't figure out a way to do it without enduring a fair amount of humiliation.
i did not panic.

That is a bad idea. Going back to all that bullshit. Once I learned the TTAT, I was out. Finito.
Why does hubby feel guilty?? The GB have been lying and manipulating people for years. He owes them sod all.
Talk some sense into him.

At what age did you notice time went by so fast?
by adjusted knowledge ini like so many americans left my parent's house as soon as i could (age 19).
i would see them maybe one or two times a year for the next ten years.

Will someone, please, stop ISIS?
by skeeter1 inwill anyone stop isis?by josh levs, cnnupdated 2:07 pm edt, thu august 7, 2014(cnn) -- if you're following the news about isis, which now calls itself the islamic state, you might think you've mistakenly clicked on a historical story about barbarians from millennia ago.. in a matter of months, the group seized territory in both iraq and syria and declared an islamic caliphate, celebrating its own shocking slaughter along the way.. "i don't see any attention from the rest of the world," a member of the yazidi minority in iraq told the new yorker.
"in one day, they killed more than two thousand yazidi in sinjar, and the whole world says, 'save gaza, save gaza.'".
in syria, the group hoisted some of its victims severed heads on poles.

So much blood and heartbreak. I am so sad for these people.
I have no time for violence in the form of ANY religion.
The U.S has my support for necessary action.
