and i am finding the adjustment to the real world far more difficult than i ever imagined...i f...it has been about five years since i totally woke up to the fraudulant nwt and then all my other doubts i had carried for years were proved true as well.

but almost all of my few friends are exjw or slack jw's and i feel so isolated...my sons friends are mostly exjw too but not their gf's and they have way more normal friends .

how have you done at replacing lifelong friends and family?

by RayPublisher in

part 3 (which is where the actual meeting begins) is finished.

it took my computer hours and hours to render and upload it!!

I got a kick out of how the "elder" on the right handled himself during the prayer. To me it was obvious they already had made their decision. He was ready to rock!!

Getting Back In (yes, its for family) What do I Say on 3rd Try?

by Meadow36 in

jw
friends

in my last meeting to be re-instated they said for next time figure out which person from the bible i'm most like.

and be ready to tell them what i pray about and how i feel about what i did to jehovah.

being honest , speaking from the heart about jesus forgiving peter and having a hard time answering the prayer question didn't work getting hysterical and nervous-breakdownish at the end didn't help, nor did running out of the hall after saying i could never do any better.

Sounds like they've got you figured out.

Did you know that God will terminate your supervisors employment, and give you their old job?

by Theocratic Sedition in

jw

according to the wt study yesterday, that's what happened.. 16. by allowing jehovah to instruct us and lead us in the path of uprightness, we will have no cause for fear.

when a regular pioneer in the united states applied for a job that would help him to keep his entire family in full-time service, his supervisor told him that he would never get that position without a college degree.

had this happened to you, would you have regretted pursuing full-time service to the exclusion of seeking higher education?

watson

Well...if it's true, that's great.
