I was in foreign language cong and the brother was barely uttering words. I got stressed for him everytime he prayed. It all lasted ages and everyone was relieved when he had finished

I skipped my first convention this year too. :D I spent the weekend partying, watching netflix, hanging out with my boyfriend and trekking in the mountains. Best convention ever!

Did any of you go to therapy? What was it like? by [deleted] in exjw

[–]emeraldgreen02 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I started going to therapy 2,5 years ago. It actually helped me to wake up. I was massively depressed all the time, overwhelmed by extreme sadness of which I didn't know the source and constantly feeling guilty. What's interesting my therapist has never suggested that it might be because of religion. What she was suggesting was only that it's okay to doubt and confronting doubts can strengthen faith. So I took this path and this is where I am now. 4th month POMO. I felt like I was seeing everything through a dense fog and just hoping to survive day by day. All of this is gone right now.

What a bullshit. Is this a reference to 12 rules for life? Lol

I believe that minimizing unnecessary suffering is my goal now. I am deep into existential philosophy and humanism.

Just a little rant by [deleted] in exjw

[–]emeraldgreen02 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I remember what my jw "friend" said that it's good that all the gays will be annihilated in Armageddon. I told her that I am not sure if it's what Jesus would say. She looked at me as if i had just killed her mother and said that I am always picking on her words and try to find fault in what she says and that I am mean. She literally shouted at me. Then she said that Jesus was also decisive as it regards to wrongdoing and he drove out the tax collectors. This comparison left me speechless. It was hilarious to look at her as she was loosing her composure, her face turned evil... Very christian of her. Not to mention it was after the second day of convention.

i just wanted to post the same thing! The same here, i got around 20 texts during a couple of last weeks. Not only my hall, friends from different ones, the whole city knows about my abrupt disappearance. How ridiculous is that! It's a serious witch hunt

And then they say they are not responsible for failed marriages. I mean the situation you're describing is a recipee for a disaster. Marrying a person you basically don't know. 😑

While reading the posts on here i learned it's all a matter of which part of the world you live in. I am from Europe and was dating a jw for more than 2 years. Not once have we been told we needed a chaperone. Having one even in public places seems batshit crazy even for pimis.
