so what are you doing to enjoy yourself?

doesn't have to be for anyone around you, or have anything to do with jw world.

just something that you do for you and only you and that fills your soul (whatever that means).

one last step..Is being mentally out the same as being emotionally out?

friends

we talk here about the importance of being mentally and physically out to be really free.. what about being emotionally free?.

i realized for me, i had to be emotionally awake first.

i had been yo-young back and forth for years.

Terry said: everything must change, before anything changes.

Terry isn't that all or nothing thinking?

This is an on going process some changes take time.

Nieveau: it does take a lot of effort. I noticed the emotional pull of the vocabulary is lessening.

when I hear the phrase: the last days I dont get that feeling of dread or urgency that used to.

out of the blue, my wife told me that after this week's service meeting on friday (co visit) she is not going to anymore meetings during the week at night.

only sunday (am) meetings.

she explained that it is difficult and not safe for her to drive after dark (vision issues: i have the same problem so i couldn't help her if i wanted to).

MissFit

Tal...loved your post. Your grammy sounds like a great role model.

Intetesting Terry. I have noticed a difference in my responses since I first started posting here.

Phases like: "the truth", "the friends", "Jehovah',"going out in service", "worldly", "fleshly desires", spirit of the world" ect. would just trip off my tongue.

I never realized I had a them vs. us mind set.

I notice myself thinking differently now. I still have to catch myself but now I remember to use quotes.

i could find another thread so i thought i might add a few comments here - not a full critique though.

"hear jehovah's voice wherever you are".

No the girl in the glasses giving the guy the eye.

They probably went to a R rated movie too.

That hussy.

Next thing you know she is going to ask him to her place to see her aquarium.

I was looking at the comparison pictures. What really struck me was the top picture was what normal people do. They are demonizing normal , activities. Where was the sin?

The sin was going against their counsel. (Bad association)

No wonder most JWs are socially inept.

Moving out after the borg

by happy@last in

i was delighted to hear of adjustments news, but it did remind me of what i'm sure a lot go through when they leave, here's a little of my story:.

when i married as a jw, and when we moved there was always a team of willing volunteers happy to drive the van or move the furniture or decorate.

additonally when you get married you have a list of items people want to buy for you, even if some had odd taste we received lots of needed and wanted items, sometimes 2 or 3 of the same type.. as a da'd person, also seperated from my spouse i needed to move home.

MissFit

Happy Good for you.
