Link between relationships and health/happiness

by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

even though i’m agnostic so will not commit to either intelligent design or chance, i love being part of the congregation for the close personal relationships.. there is such a great atmosphere inside the congregation it really is like a family and you don’t get this anywhere else.. a real friend is someone you can rely on when you are in need.

if things go wrong for you and you are going through a hard time you know real friends will be there for you.

as long as you didn’t bring it on yourself by going against gods law then you have to prove you are repentant first of course.. there is a lot of research now saying that good friends is essential for healthy and happiness.

@exbethelite

i cant imagine the turmoil you are choosing to endure. You are--in effect--lying to your so-called friends. You are using their friendship to your own ends.

Do you really think you will survive armageddon living your 2 faced existence ?

Normal people don't give a darn if you're a witness

this was posted on exjw reddit, check it out if some of you never have.

i find this to be the case, people in general are so not interested in religion that they really could care less about jws.

stan livedeath

the majority of people dont know what any religions believe--in fact they all believe pretty much the same things--even jws.

My neighbour's views on J.W's

i came across a thread on a site for neighbours, which includes quite a wide area really, many square miles containing a lot of villages, and a couple of towns.

it is so we can swap unwanted goods, inform each other of local crimes and scams etc, and we can vent.. there was a post that said the lady did not want this crap coming through her door, a letter and a tract from a j.w.

i won't post the thread here , as at least one xjw is on there, but all the comments below her post were anti-jw !

stan livedeath

all the time i was a dub--i was embarrassed about it--and didnt want anyone to know. But over the years ( since i quit ) i have been open about it--and have been very surprised how many other ex's i have met.

i dont have a bible to refer to--but wasnt the shunning "arrangement" directed at sinners " who called themselves a brother"--and not to eat with such a person.

But if a "brother" has left the religion of his own accord--then why shun him ?

has anybody any information as to the whereabouts or the health of anthony morris ?.

stan livedeath

it was touched on--in another thread--about AM3 and the GB insistence on jws3 being vaccinated.

Wasnt AM a medic in the war ? perhaps he knew more about the risks of the vaccinations than the other GB members?

Is the tide turning against covid vaccines?

by slimboyfat in

have you seen this video about the covid vaccines?

have you got any views on the information?

i find it worrying at least.

stan livedeath

hindsight is a precise science.

Looking back over the last 4 years--( in the UK )--

What was the goverment to do ?

Nothing ?

and the probably outcome ?

Or do what they did--lock down, mass innoculation and boosters

the outcome--? is still on going.

Older Ex-JW Attending Mass in Historic U.S. Basilicas

by TMS in

i still remember the first time i commented on this board with nervous fingers barely able to press the keys.

what triggered my entry into the forbidden was the orchestrated disfellowshipping of my then 21 year old son.. well, he's now 51, with a supportive wife, two genius sons who will never see the inside of a kingdom hall.. my first wife of 49.5 years, loyal and supportive to a fault, passed away 5 years ago.. in 2019 i married a young filipina, 33 years my junior, a nominal catholic.

my life with her has simply been amazing and i treasure every moment.

stan livedeath

In 2019 I married a young filipina, 33 years my junior, a nominal Catholic.

In 2016--i married a young filipina, 23 years my junior, also a nominal catholic. Shes been to church once in that time. She is the registered manager of a nearby care home. Life has been--well--lets say--different.
