this question was the source of many arguments btween me and my ex...as usual he had an answer for everthing an i was left feeling like a bad person and that my christmas was phony and fake!!! so i just want a few other peoples perspectives if you dont mind because when i visit this site and hear peoples stories i guess it gives me hope that j.w isnt the only religion and one day he may find his way out!!! also because i feel sane here!!!!

did you ever feel left out at this festive season and what did you think of others that celebrated?(i.e worldly friends, relatives, spouses.)
and if you have now found the real truth about the truth..do you celebrate christmas and why?

got this email from my mother the other day... this is just the "witness" part... i sent my brother a letter the other day after we had a big fight you can read that here.... http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/98316/1.ashx.
just fyi, no need to reply because i know it will not make a difference to you but last night at the study ******** got so choked up about you that he could not finish for crying.
you don't realize how much he loves you.
its starting to make more sense now!!!
my now ex BF never saw our relationship as a problem and would constantly reassure me that nothing would come between us until suddenly he ended it sayin he couldnt progress spiritually while involved with moi!!!! I had thought that they would probably start out lightly and then as you get more involved they become really heavy!!! hes even stopped playing his guitar as he thinks he will getta better standing before god if he gets rid of everything in his life he loves so he can love jehovah with all his heart!!! crazy i know!!!
I just hope he realises soon and sees it for what i do!!

i was wondering...when you start to study do they tell you things like that you will have to sever all contact with non members etc and also that if people dont believe us then they are against us?

not sure if this was posted yet, but the boys in bethel are at it again.
the october 15th botchtower study article is, not so surprisingly, very negative and down on any parents that are encouraging their children to go to university.
i don't have a scanner here, so i'll have to highlight some of the more vomitous (is that a word?
arggg!!!!! this is the kind of thing that makes me soooo angry....i myself am in higher education and im having the time of my life as well as learning some very valuable skills that will hopefully secure me a career in art and fashion,
my now ex-boyf showed a profound interest in art and was considering studying it and even did a portrait of me!!!! since returning from a fortnight away with family he has ended our relationship and decided that education isnt for him!!
Is the whole J.W cult thing based on fear?

hi,.
i need alittle help finding a wt article, i believe it's a 1969 article about education and the jist of it about how you shouldn't go to school cause by the time you're done armageddon will have already come, something to that effect.
im seriuosly thinkin about showing that message to my BF...do you think the recent watchtowers say the exact same paragraph?
the borg is sooo superficial it makes me cringe!!

am v. curious...jus wondering what a dub would be told about someone like me as my on/off b.f is studying.
if you were a j.w then what were you taught about ' worldly' people?!.
thanks guys your comments are muchos appreciated!!.
aw thanks dams....to be honest i think a part of him is studying just to prove something to his family as they are all dubs and his younger bro and sis are pioneers!!!and as he had never followed it they have always told him he's a failure so maybe hes just trying to show them he can do it!!! nice loving family i know!!!
