  tell me why

  okay, as most of you have been associated with the so-called "truth" at some point in your life, tell me if you have ever heard the phrase where "jehovah only draws people to him"(or something to that effect ).

  i have an issue with this statement, among many other things, but i would just like to know other people's opinion on it.. okay, so we are suppose to dedicate our lives to him, yet we can only do that whole-heartedly if we are 'drawn' .

  so what, if we aren't drawn we are just left for dead?

  Exactly Amazing!

  I felt bad because it seemed like Jehovah didn't really love all people as Jesus said at John 3:16 ...

  That's how I always felt, I tryed to console myself that I didn't get that call because that person wasn't drawn, then I didn't understand why...why people would be drawn..so in the end, the wts is contradicting the bible by basically saying god doesn't want all, but the bible saying that god does want all.

  I get what you mean about the prayers being answered. It seems that I want to pray actually now that I'm out, and it actually seems that my prayers get answered now kind of. The only difference is that I am not trying to pray to their god anymore. I just try to pray to whoever wants to listen/help/etc.

  Social anxiety VS. Jw influence

  by NEWWORLDSLACKER in

  my question for tonight is this : after leaving the witnesses do you still feel disjointed from society in general ( and i mean the human race not the wt) ?

  im realizing that i still have quite a hard time in social situations where there are more than say 4-5 people .....i tend to get into a dreamy feeling state , and just basically out of it feeling .

  i tend to blame it on being raised a dub .

  I think I understand what you're getting at..there are time people are discussing politics and I have it so engrained in my mind to not 'participate' that I have to knock myself in the back of the head and remember that I'm out of there now so I gotta tell myself, "It's Okay!" lol That's just one of the aspects of my trying to reprogram myself to be myself. So you aren't alone!

I do believe in a god (not to offend any Athiests), but I don't believe that he is just going to create you, then as they say, not draw you, so in the end you have to die. In my opinion that is just some more bullshit that the wts has concocted to make everyone feel like 'bad people'.

  You get what I'm talking about?

  yea, i'll be telling them more than just shove it when my three years are up. i honestly think it's bull and will be doing it anyways, even while I'm still at home. oh, and yes, i'm a rebelious child; but if you want to think of it logically, just call me resentful. vs. who wins?

  sounds a lot like that story called "a boy named it". and what I don't get about it is that she was saying that she apologizes for doing it and is trying to show her kids she loves them. first, you can't just apologize for something like that and how the hell is she showing her kids she loves them.

I have mentioned it to a few of my associates in the congregation and they freak. Where exactly is the rule that you cannot get a tattoo? Am I harming my body??? Ha, it's no worse than the obese elders! Aren't they harming their bodies? Well, it's not like their ideas are preventing me to do what I want to my body, I just have to wait till my time comes to run. But in the meantime, can anyone explain what their deal is with the tattoos. Why are they so anal?

  to obiwan:

  Love's a sensation caused by temptation, a guy sticks his location in a girl's destination, to increase the population of the next generation.
  
  Do you understand my explanation?
  
  Or do you need a demonstration?
