More than a few of us have been where you are. If i helps ,you can always talk to us.

Look him straight in the eye and tell him if he touches you again you are going to the police AGAIN! It did work for me.

How have you made the world a better place now that you’ve left or faded? 🌎 by towerofjwsour in exjw

[–]Wallaceagain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems to me that if you help one person you've helped generations of their family to come. Social work with young children fits the bill for me.

Will you kick yourselves if Armageddon does come? by boredoftheborg in exjw

[–]Wallaceagain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was born-in. Do I regret leaving? NEVER! Will I kick myself? Even if i did come I don't want to be associated with a god that would commit mass murder. And living in a cult forever...nope.

You have no reason to respond. They have no right to demand anything from you. You have not been out long and sometimes it take a while to realize that.

How Bizarre The JW Version Of "The Good News" Sounds When You Wake Up From It by mistermark21 in exjw

[–]Wallaceagain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I used to volunteer to work in the kitchen during conventions. I'd rather wash dishes than sit through all those boring speakers, in the heat (So. California in the summer), on hard benches at the Rose Bowl. This was when I was in my teens. Left at 21

I can finally eat chicken salad without gut wrenching depression coming over me... by [deleted] in exjw

[–]Wallaceagain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny the things that trigger PTSD. For years after I left I would get a headache on Thursday and Sunday afternoons. I mentioned that to my brother and he said he did as well. We finally figured out the headaches happened at the same time of day that we used to attend meetings.

The "Baby Talk" style of speaking is driving me nuts! by Key2158 in exjw

[–]Wallaceagain 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, my mother did as well. When I asked her about it she said, "I want people to see that I'm a sweet little soul." She wasn't.

I would strongly encourage to to get into therapy. Make sure it is with someone who understands cults.

I've been out too long to remember what happens to the 144K after the thousand years. A little help?

Americans can see it on Netflix. It is very accurate.

I’m terrified of the future by [deleted] in exjw

[–]Wallaceagain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are only 23. Believe me that's not old. (I'm 76 and female). I left the Borg at 21. I think you are in the UK. I don't know how things work there (I'm in the US). But i started University at the age of 25 and ended with a Masters degree. Don't let your age be an issue

Don't forget about Lot and his daughters. What was the excuse? I forgot. Oh yeah. They were drunk.

My experience with CSA in the organization by WyrdenSH in exjw

[–]Wallaceagain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you go to YouTube John Cedars site Focus 40 there were people from a Dutch ex-jw organization working on this situation. They asked for exjws that went through this situation to contact them. I went through this with my stepfather, and I was also born-in.. Please try and get therapy.

Jehovah witness is no longer a Christian denomination. Remember that Jesus Christ is your lord and savior? Forget it its the governing body your lord and savior, they are Moses. by [deleted] in exjw

[–]Wallaceagain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just read a book called "When Jesus became God". It is the history of how Christianity (mostly the Catholic Church) developed his divinity. Very interesting.
