i have felt so bad the last several weeks.
as most know, my good friend died on may 26. i have been extremely depressed over this.
then i got really sick.
I hope your feeling better soon, I know how you feel, i have periods of my life where i don't know if i'll make it through and it's only my kids that do. hang in there.
And about your job, money isn't everything. I just left my husband who earn't a lot, we were quite well off, and now am a single mum on a pension, i have to watch the pennies all the time but i'm a hell of a lot happier. I depends on your financial comminments though i suppose.
I nearly qualify, I'm separated and just 30. Very young at heart though, is that good enough.
would love to here from any aussies out there, for all aothers thats australians.
have nothing against anyone else would just love to here from anyone closer to home.. real reason is that i've recently been disfellowshipped and am feel ing a little lonely.
would love to make friends and chat with some one close to home who understands what i'm going through.
I have been in many over the years, Belgrave, Healesville, Yarra Junction, Croydon and Lilydale. What congregations have you been in?
i described myself recently as no longer angry.. that was a lie.. i am angry at the way jehovah's witnesses treat their most precious.
endowment; their young, developing, stumbling, exasperating, questioning, experimenting, growing,.
offspring.. at the very most urgent time in their young lives; when they need the.
It all comes back to the fact that if you can't marry untill you are "past the bloom of youth" then why should you be able to get baptised. Is'nt baptism a bigger commitment that marriage. According to the JW's it is.
I suppose they suck you in as soon as possible, before you can think for yourself! !!!!!!
dear friends,.
as i posted in an other category on this board http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/11/73036/1.ashx the wts has installed a bankcard/creditcard-terminal in their district assembly halls in the netherlands.
i want to know your opinion about this.
you have got to be joking, talk about pressure. Just onother way to be made feel guilty. Or for those who want to to look like pharasies and show how much they donate. Toooo hypocritical .
'owyergoin' this weekend?
i hope life for you is full of hope of something better.. mrs ozzie and i went to a picnic with friends today.
glorious winter sunshine at a 'country music style' picnic grounds and showgrounds.
Sorry ozzie,
I was an elders daughter for years and both my sister, mum and i always dyed our hait and nobody ever had a problem with it. The only person that did was my husband, but by then i was dying it dark purple, he thought that was a bit rebelious. He was right though i was doing it to get a reaction. How sad 25 and being that bored, mind you now i've moved on to peircing and tattoos.
Love Lehaa. Fellow Aussie
most jws seem to be "devout" in that they go to 5 meetings and out in field service.
yet, many also lived double lives.
were you a true-blue jw or were you a faker?
Raised in the truth and always lived on the edge. Was the perfect elders daughter, whole double life and all, boys smoking drinking. Got Baptised at 17, was the ideal witness for about 6 months. Went down hill for the next 13 years and am now disfellowshipped.
i alway's start the day in good mood, but suddenly my day went wrong when a storm came.
what a day!
i cancelled all of my appointments.
Being woken at 3am to the sound of my 2 yr old vomitting on my head. Just as well she's gorgeous.
my name is michelle jackson (hamlin) and i grew up in paducah, ky and murray, ky. i also lived in baton rouge, la and some other places.
now i live in knoxville, tn.
i was raised a jw, third generation.
Welcome Michelle
Nice to here from you. Sorry about your troubles. My child was molested too, by another witness, know how you feel.
remember were all here for you.
xoxo.
allright let me tell you what happened yesterday.
i went to the meeting yesterday because my cousin was visiting and wanted to know where the kh was located.
i finally offered to go with her to avoid any issues.
What are you so scared of. Unless you've done something wrong they cant do anything. even if you have they can't do any thing unless you tell them what you've done. Either ring them and cancel or just sit there eat s**t and smile. Whatever you do don't tell them anything. My mother has avoided them for years.
