Depression

by luna2 in

okay, so this isn't long-term (i hope) horrible depression, just....a bad couple of days.

i'm taking suggestions on how to pull out of it.

ideas?

GoingGoingGone

Make sure you're getting enough sleep, too. Things do tend to seem overwhelming when you're overtired.

I like the funny movie suggestion! I've tried that before and it works!

Do you still say you are a JW?

by architect in

the lastest study article says in a nut shell that we should tell our new workmates/employer that we are a jw..for you folks who do not attend anymore or you've got out of the "theocratic routine" do you still make it know you are a jw?

GoingGoingGone

So, why did I meet with the elders?

by lola28 in

jw
friends

this is my explanation as to why i met with the elders today.

when i agreed to meet with the elders last week i had made up my mind to just go in and be honest with them.

i was going to tell the elders that i no longer believed this to be the truth, and then i was just going to walk away.

((((Lola))))

I'm not at all surprised that you did whatever you felt you had to do to spare those you care about, because you're a sweetie!!! Good for you, Lola. I hope the rest of your fade goes like you want it to.

Here We Go Again: The Annual ``Behave! at Conventions" Harangue

by Room 215 in

jw
friends

now that the gerontocrats have dispensed with their annual springtime campaign of blustering everyone away from the wine and bread, it's now time to for the yearly decalogue of decorum; an epistle to the clueless.. in the april kingdom ministry the old farts tackle their annual chore of getting their dubbies to somehow behave like normal, thoughtful human beings when let loose on the public away from their kingdom halls.. what do we find on page 5?

``reminders" to the rabble not to save seats; not to leave the premises during the noon lunch break, nor to bring booze or large coolers; to tip at least 15% to 20% when dining at restaurants.

this, i believe is a first; they now feel they have to coach jws on just how much is considered apopropriate by ``worldly" (read ``normal") human beings.

GoingGoingGone

I find it r-e-a-l-l-y hard to believe that people were running so fast to get the best seats that someone was injured. Thoughts?

Sad, but true. At our assembly hall, people would flock around the entrance doors before they opened in the morning, then stampede in to get the aisle seats or save huge blocks of seats for all their friends. I heard of people getting hurt several times (although I never saw it myself... I stayed far away from the mob scene, thank you very much!)

Oh how I do NOT miss assemblies!!

What First Pops Up Into Your Mind When You Hear "Jehovah's Witnesses"???

by minimus in

jw
friends

now, i think "stupid".

GoingGoingGone

My feelings vary between a sick feeling in my stomach, to anger, to pity, to indifference.

I prefer the feelings of indifference, but they are hardest to come by.
