  feeling of hopelessness and fear

  do you have feelings of hopelessness and fear for not having a religion?.

  do you envy happy jehovah witnesses and living their lives carefree?.

  I only realized once I left, how negatively the weekly meetings affected me. Being constantly reminded how inadequate and undeserving I was, how hopeless and broken the world and everyone in it

  Identical feelings.

  Every return trip home from meetings and FS was complete CD (without knowing what CD was).

  Major bummer.

  The average Dub is ONLY ABOUT SHOW.

  That does not mean that leaving does not have consequences.

  I think a must-read book (which I have just started) is:
  "Why Does This Keep Happening to Me?" - Alan Downs.

  The book speaks about Conscious Agreements and Unconscious Agreements.

  These agreements control our lives completely.

  They exist in families, among friends, among congo members, and with our version of a Supreme Being.

  I do not recall these types of letters being posted about in past years.

  I will add that I looked at some interesting changes to this page though

  ( http://www.jw.Borg/en/jehovahs-witnesses/ )

  Up until early 2013, they had been using the term "ministers who teach" - changed - we all know why.

  They also had been saying number who attend our meetings or conventions (plural). Memorial attenders do not attend meetings - they attended ONE meeting.

  WE NEED MORE MONEY! (Letter sent to Mexico re: JW Broadcasting of May 2015).

  i don't know if they're making similar arrangements in other parts of the world but below you will find the letter (and the translation attempt) they're sending to all the congregations in mexico and central america asking them to modify their september 21 and september 28 service meeting programs.. after watching jackson's gold apple watch and lett's pinky ring one can only assume they are a bunch of brazen, shameless and greedy bastards!.

  the letter has already been uploaded at the spanish forum and you can find it if you click here or see the attached picture.. the translation "attempt" is as follows:.

  august 1, 2015. to all congregations.

  To cut the long story short, they used the following image to accompany an "experience" of an anonymous kid whose savings into a piggy bank were sent "in support of the worldwide work".

  From one pig to another (well actually, to 7 others).

  (BTW, if pork was so unclean, shouldn't Dubs choose a clean animal as their pork-bank?)

  i need information how the organization teaches members to shun any dealings with those they think are apostates, i am being labeled apostate by uncle crap head.

  where is the magazine about "we wish we had the authority to kill apostates like the days of israel but the government does not allow this"?

  Thanks for the info.

  Checked their Alberta site - their philosophy seems interesting.

  We just don't call each other "Bro this & bro that"

  (BTW - they actually put "Bro" in their contact info - kind of funny)

  Going in, and mentioning my destination, the manager fumbled with his ring,

  Just for clarification - this manager was the manager of the auto dealership?
