i had a run in with a witness and it took me along time to get over it, i still don't talk to that witness.
some of the witnesses i know are two faced and it makes it hard not to feel aggresive when i go to the meetings, i sit there and think what am i doing here but i feel better when i leave so that is why i suppose i still go, it makes me feel good even though i feel there alot of stuck up attitudes when some feel they are more spiritual than others.
it feels like such a struggle to go there but yet i really want to be there.
Thank you for all your comments, I appreciate the time you took to reply. It looks like I have to really search within myself my motives for meeting attendence, I have some great friends there and have been a JW most of my life and I really don't want that to change. Anyway changing the subject, I am off on holiday this week and will be back in the new year, so I do wish you all a happy holiday and all the best for the new year "2005"
Cheers

these inspiring words will remind you how to make your dreams come true.. "through confidence and perseverance comes the ability to succeed!".
many of you have proven that these words have inspired you to succeed in whatever endeavors you have chosen after having come out of the watchtower.. i have read simon's and many of your post's, where - in you have shown confidence, and perseverance along with the ability to succeed in whatever endeavors you have chosen for yourselves after having come out of the watchtower.
i too, after having spent 30 years serving the watchtower, two and one half years later, after having left he watchtower, i have succeeded in passing my medical examiner's tests and am now licensed to practice in one of the many health care concerns at the young age of 60.. this shows that all of us can go on and succeed after life in the watchtower.. this forum and the many nameless persons who have posted here have been an inspiration to carry on.
That's great that you have gone on in your life after leaving the JW organization, to continue learning new things in life uses the great gift we have all been given, to learn and help others. That is a long time in the organization, I am still in and taking a couple of courses and a witness friend of mine is going to university, not a common thing to do but necessary at times to get a good job.
hi, i am new here and was told most here are ex jw's, i am not an ex jw, i attend meetings but not regular and have been reading a few things here and hope you don't mind if i have an opinion now and again.
