  Why can't I just leave?

  by Trapped in JW land in

  some of you may know my situation.

  i'm still going to meetings, but i am a closet apostate and homosexual i. only keep going to meetings to please my family and some friends.

  i guess i could tell my mom i no longer want to be a jehovah's witness and stop going to meetings, but i'm too scared to do it.

  If you wait, it would definitely be easier for you to leave as you would then be in a position where no one can control you. As long as you are living under the same roof with JW family, leaving can NEVER be easy. If your bf truly understands you, he would be willing to wait, if not, then it would simply mean that he is not the one for you

  i dont have the willpower to attend meetings anymore.

  i'm literally on the sound system list every week.

  i'm either reading on sunday or tuesday, praying on tuesday nites, adjusting mics, passing mics, or working the sound system, or doing last minute parts for the service meeting.

  I agree with Data Dog, except for the physical illness part. It's better to fake depression

  Island Man, the quality that I am referring to in my case had more to do with personalities rather than what you just mentioned. Should have made that clearer in my post. Anyway, good point

  I often thought about why there are only a few million witnesses of Jehovah in a world filled with billions of people. The answer given is that Jehovah looks for quality, NOT quantity

  Then I started to think: Wait... why do people on the outside seem to be of better quality than us???

  why didnt God just do this?

  by sowhatnow in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  for one thing, i cant get past genesis, but no matter.. when god told adam and eve if you eat from the tree youll die.

  so why did he not simple let them die and not allow the offspring to?.

  you see, if i was a god, and i told two people that, id let them die , .

  Well, the simple reason is that Adam & Eve sinned & lost their perfection BEFORE they produced offspring, hence their imperfection would have passed on to their offspring!

  Since Elders And Mini Servants Have To Be Exemplary How Does Anyone Ever Qualify?

  by minimus in

  it seems to me that you must be almost perfect to be a " servant" in the organization today.

  no college, no spiritually weak in the family, no disfellowshipped living at home, no tight pants, etc......who can live up to their lofty ideals?.

  It is the personality that really counts, NOT the position

  Personality above position. You can't go wrong with that

  Is Anthony Morris III gay?

  by Calebs Airplane in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  why else would he constantly bring up "gay-inspired" clothing when speaking to such large audiences?.

  nothing wrong with being gay.

  but he should just come out of the closet already and stop all this stupidity... just saying.. .
