I need Help............. (page 2)

Hi Discombobulated girl. We chatted a couple of days ago, about how you tried to make friends in the congregation but they wouldn't ever let you be their friend, that sort of thing. I don't know why "Christians" would ever want to turn their back on someone who needs a friend. I think everyone I meet has something to offer. People should not be rejected like that!

I tried to e-mail you, but your e-mail address is restricted here. If you still want to reach me, I am at [email protected]. Otherwise, you've got a lot of friends out here who seem like they want to talk to you! I'm finding a lot of new friends too, who like me for what I am, and not for what I have or for how many hours I spent in the ministry.

Take care,
Gopher

Hey DBobGirl,

Dam, that's a long handle to spell!!! It seems that things haven't changed much! I'm an old timer here but left and was df'd before I was 15, but all the comments fit me to a Tee! Boring meetings, control freaks, crappy assignments to give talks, oh and if you want to not get remanded, brown nose the cong, serv. only I hated his kid so things got sticky real soon!

Hope you stay around. Sounds like you have a lot going for you between the ears.

you do need help dont look for these jehovahs witnesses for help look somewhere else.i was in their bull!!! for a long time and they didnt teach me a thing ... what they did do was judge me,did god give them that right to judge,, god gives no man the right to judge but they judged me but for the most of it they were right

Carmel

Mac,

which JW's judged you? Certainly not the ones here! this group of JWs are tired of being judged as are you and they don't seem to be the type that want any part of judging or being judged.

Hey Roller sounds like your a bit confused by others. Remember that a true friend is loving all the time and is a brother born in times of distress. I learned that at the Kingdom Hall when growing up. It is not boring learning about your truest friend and creator, Jehovah. Paradise is where his true friends will be if they learn to love and obey him because he has your best interests at heart. Dont buy into the upsets over friends. Remember even Jesus had his "Judas" in the bunch and the other 11 scattered the night he was killed. The world hates Jehovah and his people because they arent part of this hate filled world that is selfish and out to please themselves above all else. If Jehovah is your refuge people wont hurt you. Isnt that why we go to the meetings.

Take care and remember Jesus only had one that was beloved "John". Maybe there hard to find but worth the effort to find in Jehovahs house...

Hi D-girl!

Thanks for your post. I think you’re great! You probably make your parents proud!

I’m sorry if my post misses the question you asked, but I’ll take my chance on it.

I am not a JW, nor have I ever been one. I was brought up in a non-religious Christian home – went to Sunday school and church which bored me to death.
As a young teenager I stopped going to church and has a young adult I even had a spell in atheism. As an adult I started to go to church after “meeting Christ” –(that means that I decided to a become a Christian after feeling the Lords presence in my life. Well’s that my story.
I have two girls (16 and 14 yrs). The oldest is active in a church (in fact another denomination than my own and that’s fine with me). My youngest girl has NO intention to go to church and to follow the same faith as myself. I would be lying if I said her choice is entirely fine with me but I respect her and love her no matter what.

All religion is based on faith and faith is both based on and influences our worldview. As you know there are many faiths (and non faiths) in the world, that’s why we often see things so totally differently.

Now to my point

It is important that YOU yourself must decide for yourself what to believe in. It’s your life process, your road to travel. You cannot live on another person’s faith, either if it’s your parents, friends or religious movement. You must decide what’s correct for you. It’s
often difficult to know what to believe in and it’s OK to choose different "roads" in your life. How else can you know what’s “right” if you haven’t tried it. (I do not imply that ALL "roads" are correct, on the contrary. But my own faith and beliefs are somewhat “subjective”).
It’s great that you question things, there are no answers without a question asked! Don't ever be afraid to question things in life and in your faith. Any type of TRUTH should withstand questions asked. And don't be afraid that you don't have all the answers.
Be openminded, but also be sceptical. Life has so much for you too choose.

And, be open for help, aid and advice from others, primarily your parents. They, above all others persons, usually wishhes the best for you!

Bless you D!

Btw have you considered Jesus?

Sincerely
Idaho (Finn)

Hey Ocean!

Welcome to Simon's world! Good to see new voices here. I notice you think Roller is confused. What I read in his/her post was that the "unconditional love" that the bible teaches is not in the KH, especially amongst the leadership. You say you learned that kind of love there? Your congregation must be unique from what I have seen in reading the posts from hundreds of Jw's and exjw's on the net.

Why don't you tell us more about your experiance as a Jonadab?

hi ..new zealand is the same as every where else in jw's. I truely tried to be agood friend to the girls in my cong but they all played games.Just immaturaty ,yeah but the type some dont grow out of.I wouldent want my daughter to have friends like that.And to the person who said Jehovah is your friend etc etc.That doesnt realy cut it when your only young maybe when your aged 70 onwards the life of a recluse (I think thats the word Im looking for)becomes more apealing .Anyway I now live with an anxiety problem and fear of crowds eetc so the damage is done.Only after leaving the (truth?) did i finally find that not all humans are malicios(i cant spell it!)

Carmel

Jez, you're absolutely on target! There are millions of well-meaning, kind, thoughtful and generous people of all races, ethnic backgrounds and religions. The line that the Jws use is soley for the purpose of controling their r&f to toe the line. SELL,SELL,SELL!
