I've never been pregnant, and I can say with certainty that I never will be pregnant. I do sympathise, however.

Not better than others
by sinedie inas jw's we are taught that we are better than others; that we are almost superior to them.
after finding out ttatt, and realizing that others are actually smarter than me, i feel quite small and insecure about myself.
how do i start friendships with people i knew (sort of) for years, who i was trying to convince that the end is coming soon?

Tell them the walls of your old world are being dismantled and you want to learn about and participate in the wider world beyond the confines of the witness world. And you would like them to help show you around as your guide and friend (or words to that effect).

How do I hear/feel God?
by doinmypart inthis is a serious question.. i know people that hear/feel god (and see postings about people's experiences), but i have not experienced this.
i have never heard anything audibly (or otherwise) nor "felt" anything inwardly.. i've prayed, read, quieted my thoughts, etc...but still nothing..

The problem with the basic questions lies with what you think "God" is. People have all kinds of ideas about that, but those are just ideas, just thoughts. Can anyone say what "God" is with any certainty? I doubt it, but people are convinced they "know" God and they can be quick to tell others that they should have the same thoughts and beliefs as they do.
Perhaps whatever God truly is he/she/it "speaks" the language of silence, but because people are looking for some special and noteworthy communication based on false beliefs they can't hear the silence through the turmoil of their hearts and minds. Perhaps people need to learn the language of silence in order to "hear" what God is saying.

Choosing which world you live in
by Terry inwe have chosen the world we live in......inside our thoughts.
the physical location of us is practically (not entirely) irrelevant.. we have selected certain thoughts to regard as....... unthinkable and ignorable.. we have cherry-picked importance like a salad bar.
we leave behind most of reality and head to the dinner table.

Nice post, Terry. Something else to consider that relates to your post is this: who is this "you" that weaves the "thought created world" you live in? Is that "you" also part of the imaginary fabric of that world? What happens when you look for the "me" that you believe yourself to be? In other words, am "I" what I think I am? If not, then who/what am I really? What is found to be present when all thoughts of "me and my world" are absent?

Thanks, CoCo. I wish people could learn the difference between its and it's. If you mean to say "it is" then use the apostrophe, otherwise don't. Simple, yet it's amazing how many people screw it up.

Do you miss the sense of security the organisation gives you?
by Mr Facts ini am sure most of you miss the sense of security regarding the future that the organisation offers- the certainty of everlasting life in the paradise earth, being healed and the confidence that you will definitely see your loved ones again if you remained faithful.
but why did you pursue a course of life that had suddenly turned everything into a fable?.
i have pity for you all.. .

Mr Facts (from his thread on 21 February 2012):
I am just thinking if there could ever be anything that would raise consciousness in the minds of millions of JWs that this a completely hoax.
And you have the gall to call other people hypocrites! If you want to believe JW lies, go ahead. But no one here is buying theirs or yours.
It seems Mr Facts has had his thinking readjusted since then and has swallowed the blue pill.

JWs wouldn't preach despite multiple opportunities...
by EntirelyPossible ini was on a date tonight, eating in a cuban restaurant owned by jws (they have never met me, incidentally, the food was really good) when i realized that there was not just one, but two conventions in town.
one was the standard english speaking district convention folks, the other was the asl folks using the assembly hall in town for their district convention.. my date, who knows all about my jw past, tries to strike up a conversation with some of them sitting at the bar, asks them what they are in town for, etc.
they just said "for a convention".

I dont know about you guys, but I wouldn't go out of my way to preach after all the attention about the Candace conti court case. I would avoid even wearing the come look at me I'm a pedeophile supporter badge.
That was my first thought.
