  What is behind your choice of forum user name?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just curious how we all think.. what prompted or influenced your choice of username for this forum?.

  there are some really amazing names, and it would be great to hear the stories behind them.... mine was nothing fancy.

  i just felt "stuck in a rut too" along with so many others.

  What made you stay "in" even when you knew it wasn't the "truth"?

  so i've been thinking a lot about why i stayed a jw for so long even though i had always had doubts about the doctrines.

  i was born into the religion, left and came back as an adult for another decade.

  some of the things that come to mind (besides the threat of shunning-and this isn't to minimize that very real threat) was:.

  Mine was nothing fancy. I just felt "stuck in a rut too" along with so many others. It seemed impossible to break free of the life that revolved around everything JW.

  Great comments.

  I guess for me it was the fear of the unknown.

  Hence the username "stuckinarut2" (as in "I am stuck in a rut too")

  I didn't see my way clear, as it was all I knew all my life...

  Watchtower Study June 18 from April 2017 issue

  the judge of all the earth always does what is right.

  intended as a confidence builder in the organization ..see what you think.. theme is from deuteronomy but it is really highlighting that passage in genesis where abraham had a dialogue with god, (gen.18) would god destroy sodom if 50 righteous men would perish?

  Mom was a bag lady, and her son . . .

  is a bag man.. i take bags with me everywhere: paper and canvas shopping bags, designer sacs, wine-tote bags, and so forth.

  there is so much to transport, drop off, and new stuff to bring to my digs.

  an assortment awaits me in the foyer as i head out to do some long-postponed and needed acquisition.
