when i joined this site at the beginning of this year, i was serving as an uber-zealous regular pioneer and ms in a foreign congregation where the need is greater.
i was giving public talks and having parts at regional conventions.
had started to have doubts but i hadn't time to focus on them, i simply was overcharged with so many activities and things to do.. i started by quitting pioneering but couldn't think i would give further steps for a long time.
Good for you. It's weird at first but you will settle in and realize how much time WT took from you.
My spouse and I had to come to terms that we were going to loose "friends." We have. We knew we could possibly loose family. We have to a certain extent. As long as you realize these things will happen, you will be ok. Like someone mentioned, go join some things of interest and branch out and meet people.
Hang in there!

i cant believe what i'm hearing... actually, nothing surprises be about this cult anymore.. didn't they say to the judge in the arc that they dont discourage college?.
Bottom line... we all have to do what is right for US. Just like each child in a large family can be totally opposite of the others, even though they have the same DNA. We have 2 children. One is attending college and loves it, the other has no interest in college but has pursued a very vital career in society. She absolutely loves her job and can't imagine doing anything else. She doesn't make a lot of money but is happy, healthy and kind. The one pursuing college is also happy, healthy and kind. What more could a parent want? We are equally proud of both of them.

LonghairGal And Phoebe
Great posts. Spot on.
We have family members who are still in and treated poorly but they are in a service industry. If the JW's can get the service for free or at a discount, they show up in an instant.
Phoebe....so glad your kids are educated and doing well.
I agree with LHG, I think JW's are jealous of the JW's who are getting educated.
officer james givens has served with the cincinnati police department for over 26 years, but has never quite experienced anything like this before.
he was sitting in his patrol car in a parking lot when he got an unexpected visitor.
a goose came up to his car and started pecking on the side of it.
Cool!

2005 and their message hasn't changed. How many people have chosen not to attend college and are paying the price financially? It doesn't seem to hit some until they are in their 60's and 70's, when it is too late to recover what you have lost. We are seeing this in our family at this very moment.

I had a "friend" who is a still in JW tell me the org is not telling people not to attend college. It's amazing how much most just can't or won't see it. An Elder told us that he called the branch to ask if it was ok to send his kid to college. They told him it was a personal decision. That IS NOT what this talk is conveying. This is an al carte organization, pick and choose what you want. What a load of BS.
its not easy being an introvert in an extrovert worldespecially when youre a kid.
it is even more difficult if none of the adults in the kids life recognize that the child is an introvert.
this doesnt happen only when the childs parents are extroverts, but also with introverted parents who have never understood their own introverted nature.. .
Yes. An brilliant introvert! So incredibly proud of her!

I think this talk was disgusting. This Guy is a delusional moron. No wonder people are dropping like flies in the cult.
did anyone watch this night shift episode last night?
the teenagers grandfather was a jw.
the granddaughter wanted a large growth on her face removed but lied to the doctors about her age (she was 16).
Yeah Londo, I agree but they had their blood doctrine down to a tee. He even said, "you can be disfellowshipped for taking blood."

The Granddaughter wanted a large growth on her face removed but lied to the Doctors about her age (she was 16). The Grandfather enters trying to get the girl out of the hospital due to the blood issue. Anywho, if you didn't watch it, it was worth a watch. They had it pretty spot on except Grandpa sported a beard and went to pray in the hospital chapel. Definite JW no no's.
In the end he told the Surgeon that his Grandaughter was saved but missed out on eternal life in paradise earth due to taking blood transfusions. WTF? So God saves you then destroys you? When you are out of the cult you can really see how nutty their beliefs really are.
