my mind instantly lapsed back into that of a jw and for a split second i thought that because i wasn't doing jehovah things that jehovah's blessing had been removed from me and this is why my life seems to be running into so many dead-ends.

as a jw i attributed anything good happening to me to being the result of my being a good jw and dutifully doing everything the borg teaches.

Dear Julia

You are a good person and precious.

Bad things happen to everyone.

The jw's are not immune, no matter what they say. I am so sad that they have this hold on you. Keep posting, keep positive. I seriously used to think this way myself.

You sound a great person, even a job as a health care worker could bring a lot of joy to you and your patients. You can do so much with people.

The world is your oyster.

My wife sees the lack of love and.. Any suggestions on how to proceed?

by BU2B in

in the past few weeks, my wife has been seeing more and more the lack of love and caring from jws.

for example, she is organizing a "princess party" for our 4 year old daughter.

a couple of the parents have expressed reservations about this since they think princesses may be "too magical" even though we know they have been to disneyworld, and watch the disney channel.

There is a huge lack of love in the organisation.

I have seen and experienced more love in 11 months out than I did in 14 years in.

For your wife.x

JWs at the Edinburgh Festival

by passwordprotected in

my girlfriend and i took the train through to edinburgh to soak in the atmosphere and catch a few free comedy shows at the fringe festival.. almost immediately i spotted them; jw.org witnesses.. how did i know it was them?.

well, the middle-aged, tall man wearing the suit, shirt and tie was a big clue.

that and the fact that he was holding the hand of a similarly tall, middle-aged woman, dressed in the jw uniform of long skirt, blouse and light summer jacket.

Be glad you are no longer part of that circus.

I feel sorry they don't have any real fun and if they do, feel guilty as hell for doing so.

My mother listed me as a Jehovah's Witness at the Hospital for a pending emergency surgery

i've been having some medical issues recently and had to check into the emgerceny hospital.

when they admitted me the registar asked my mother my religion.

she told them jehovah's witness.

I hope you are okay and making a good recovery.

You must verify with your GP your stand on medical care. It's important.

Reality is plain to see: if you just open your eyes

i made a post a few days ago about stagnant jw growth at international conventions.

i also enjoyed reading analysis of the statistics from jwfacts.

what the watchtower claims and what the reality is, are two different things.

Surreal experience last night.

by objectivetruth in

recently a jw friend that my wife & i knew 3 years ago added me on facebook, after i accepted the request she invited me to a dinner that her and her husband are holding next month.. i imagined that she was unaware of our apostasy, so i declined the invitation on the basis of not wanting to ruin her dinner after the rest of her guests fled at our presence.. i'm never sure how old friends will react when i tell them that i'm no longer a jw.. usually their response is "..... permanent-silence......".

her response went something like this, " we are all out!

everyone that is coming is out we all look forward to seeing you guys so much" it turns out that there will be 6 people at the dinner all friends of ours from a congregation that we attended a few years back.. they have all left the organization recently.. pretty crazy experience..

How wonderful. Enjoy your evening and may your friendships grow stronger.

jw

this is classic damned if you do, damned if you dont.. the choice is.

1. be a hypocrite.

i just came to the realization that those of us still in and who know ttatt have only 2choices.

quellycatface

LOL!!! Talk about Hobson's Choice!!!

1) Take It

OR

2) Leave It

I'd rather be an apostate ANY day of the week.
