I guess you guys can't read well either. You all seem to be upset because I struck a nerve. The truth hurts doesn't it? You guys are too mentally and emotionally weak to handle the truth so you response with name calling, profaninty, insults, and whatever else 8 year olds do. You guys can't deny the fact that you'll can't move on with your lives because you'll are too weak and bitter and in the end all that negativity you have inside will destroy you.
Yep. You got us.

Hey, maybe this is why JW's are worn out and miserable- Chronic Fatigue
by OnTheWayOut ini made a comment about chronic fatigue syndrome (cfs) on another thread about why all pioneers seem to get sick, but i thought that cfs might deserve a thread of it's own.. i remember one pioneer who said she had "chronic fatigue syndrome.
" she read it in the awake and she decided she had it.
it was a syndrome that the doctors cannot prove or disprove, it is a syndrome that explains exhaustion when the other jw's say there is nothing wrong with you.. gathering information not from awake could be a real eye-opener to people like her.

The reason why CFS is such a ubiquitous illness, is that it's a set of symptoms that are so vague and broad that no doctor would be able to say what they stem from in of themselves. I've seen so many women who have "CFS", and every one of them are so caught up in their phantom illness that it runs their life. Incidentally, there's ALWAYS some major thing in their life that is a huge emotional weight, like a crazy divorced husband, an abusive partner, an absent family, or a set of cult beliefs and all the guilt that goes with knowing you're never good enough.

You're right, of course, OTWO. The biggest thing that ate at me during my 4 years pioneering was the staggering futility of the work.

Tower Of Babel
by Blue Grass innote:this was a post i made on another thread but i felt it was off topic so i giving it it's own thread.. someone(who i can't remember) on a thread(which i can't remember) said the tower of babel story is proven false because some languages evolved from others and thus that was another strike against the bible as being fiction.
however this person doesn't realize that there are languages on this earth that has absolutely no relation whatsoever such as chinese-english, spanish-arabic, greek-xhosa, etc.
not to mention all of the ancient languages that are now extinct due to invading countries forcing their own language on other countries.

PSacramento if you took the time to use an ounce of comment sense before you typed your post you would of notice that countries that neighbor each have similarities because they neighbor each other. Not because they stem from the same language. But I don't understand why you're still trying to disagree with me. You admitted I was right in your first sentence.
You don't know what you are talking about. Physical proximity does not determine similarity among culture. Just look at the Balkans, or the difference between the Basque region of Spain and the surrounding areas. Language is everything.

Pionering is just plain bad for your health. Like a job where you sit around all day. If you drive around in cars, walk twenty feet to a door once in a while, drink way too much coffee just to keep your mood up, and eat late or no breakfast, and then just go home and study for that night's meeting... jesus h christ, WHAT A LIFE!!

I agree with Leaving. After Bethel you can't do anything just "sort of." You're either totally in and a company man, or you really know its all BS.

Simple Living and Lifestyle Choices
by daniel-p ini think a lot about how i spend my life and what i might be able to do to get more out of it.
the problem, however, is that change is hard.. i'm not content with how society wants us to spend our time and money: getting iphones, going out to eat constantly, going on weekend vacations, buying things on the internet, watching tv, etc.. i try to analyze what i do... but like i said, it's hard to change it.. my life consists of the following:.
waking up: i get up in the morning, my wife has already left for work/school, i get my morning cup of tea and eat a bowl of cereal.

I'd love to get a pilot's license and fix up old boat so I can get back out on the water again like I used to before my son was born. Those are just luxuries, of course. But my life is probably too complicated with all the pots I have on the burner.
One of my ongoing fears is to get into a life situation where any meaningful change is impossible. Kids will come soon, and how much harder will it be to really get to where I want to be in life? It seems that it only gets harder. I guess this is why I'm more and more obsessing over simplicity, so that change will be easier to make.
Possibly you need a challenge, a project, a goal. You need to complicate your life with something that excites you. You've got two basic choices: boredom or some anxiety.
I think you're pretty much dead-on with this. You're right, I am bored, bored out of my mind most of the time. My work is challenging, but not in the rewarding kind of way. It's just tedious research and analysis with no tangible results when a project is done.
I suppose this feeling will abate a little when my last quarter of grad school starts back up. On second thought, I always seem to get like this when I have a long break from school. Work just doesn't cut it, when it comes to keeping me challanged. School less and less. Plus, it'll be over pretty soon anyway.
