DO SOMETHING

i see this site gets thousands of postings every day .. from literally thousands of members, mostly ex-dubs, from all over the world.. rather than simply go on moaning and whinging about the big nasty org why don't you all put your efforts into something positive ... do something.. ok - the org is evil .. but it exists ... and simply whining on about it doesn't change that.

with your efforts directed at something positive, you could do wonders for .

.for anything you choose.. hundreds of real charities could do with your support - to help the really needy .

tired of not existing
by BlackSwan of Memphis in
1. jw
2. experiences
ok, sorry about this but i'm in tears and just need to absolutely vent..... i am so tired of being invisible, of not existing to people that have said they love me, to people who i've known for years.. i had to find out from the stupid newspaper that a family friend died from her battle w/ breast cancer.. just this week i finally get in contact with someone who had stopped going to the meetings 10 years ago and now that she's back... guess what ... that's right ... i hate this religion.

yes i am depressed today.

everything a person has built in a life time is just ripped away.

Here's a plan for next year's Memorial....great fun if u have the guts!
by AK - Jeff in
1. jw
2. experiences
picture five or six apostates filtering into a kingdom hall where none are known.

they do not visit with each other, but just mingle in the crowd.

when the time comes to sit down and listen to the sales pitch, they all sit in seperate areas of the kh.

by TresHappy in
1. jw
2. friends
will i make it to the new system?

i remember one time i went with a bunch of jw's out to a chinese restaurant and at the end of the meal; i opened up my fortune cookie and read it.

this one pioneer sister went all over me for doing that; saying i could stumble someone, blah, blah, blah.

Are Kingdom Songs Good for You?
by Englishman in
1. jw
2. friends
i have a little theory buzzing around in the back of my mind.

it was triggered by trevors comments re the low self esteem that is endured by many jw youngsters.. i`m wondering if the singing of kingdom songs can actually make you feel depressed and worthless.

i know it might seem a strange idea at first, but see if my reasoning doesn`t make at least some sense.. i frequently see the tv ad for linguaphone, the language learning course, that uses your repetition of foreign language phrases spoken along with a cassette recording.
