Let nothing hold you back. I'm on the same path and a Christian. Go for your dreams. As long as you are not ruled by a desire to make money, you can do very well for yourself in the music business and still maintain your morals and your faith. Whatever you do, don't listen to the dream & life destroyers called the Watchtower.

"Reasonable Service!"

by Atlantis in

are the righteous requirements the lord expects "reasonable?

not according to the watchtower!

this is just another example of how the watchtower deceives members into believing that what "they" expect of jws is actually what the lord expects.

i got an email from a friend today describing some strange happenings at the meeting: .

" my wife was in the back room with the kids today and there was this guy who my wife later described as a little "scary looking" for some reason and was carrying an empty "bowling bag" (whatever that is.

anyway, this guy starts grabbing old literature from the library and putting it in his bag.

hey check it out.

i really dont know if i shold be sharing my feelings with strangers but at this point i really dont know where to turn.

i've been dating this lady for over a year now.

BigMann,

Welcome to the board. Please read up on as much as you can. You really need to think about what you believe. I'm not a JW and I was in a relationship with a female witness. We even talked about getting married and our little relationship was a secret the entire time. I know exactly where you're coming from. Well, she couldn't take leading the double life and we split in January. What really split us up was talk about children. Would you be able to handle your children being told that you are under satan's system? that you are wordly pagan who has evil practices? Will you want to completely deprive your children of the joy that Christmas, Thanksgiving, and birthday's bring? Or are you ready to become a slave to a group of old farts in Brooklyn? Trust me, any doctrine they put out, you will be expected to follow with out question or objection. It can really intrude on your relationship. I'm not saying break up with her. If anyone understands the power of love it's me. I haven't given up completely either. But I think your best bet for a lasting relationship is to stay genuinely interested in her faith, but bring up your objections. Do NOT make it seem like you are attacking the faith, but rather have sincere questions about certain issues. Also DO NOT tell her the information and the issues came from a website on the internet. She will most likely immediately disregard the info and won't even look at it or consider it.

Anyway, that's all the helpful info I can think of now.. PM me if you want to talk.

hey everyone,.

so there is this girl at our office who has her share of personality flaws.

people joke around with her about them and she is a good sport about it.

I think we get way too diagnose happy in this country! If you watch too many of those lame news shows, you come to the conclusion that everyone has some type of disease or disorder. It's lame.

baptize sister hoping to meet a brother

by tiffani in

hi my name is tanya and i am 21 years old i have been in the truth for almost 11 years.

i am a little shy and that's why its hard for me to meet a brother.

i hope to meet someone who's spiritual strong, who shows jehovah that they are a dedicated servant to him and who also put spirtual goals first.

Riddle me this....

by Serene in

hello everyone... im new here!

i have a question...maybe you guys can give me some insight.

i have a boyfriend whom i looooooove.

Kristofer

Hey Serene,

I know exactly how you feel. I had a one year relationship with a JW woman which ended in January because she couldn't continue leading a double life. I was a secret the entire time. If you have questions, feel free to PM me. Being a Christian as you are, it may or may not shock you as to the general beliefs that differ from yours immensely. Christ being a created angel, not God and the twisting of Scripture to support their theology. No physical ressurection of the body. No birthdays, Christmas, Thanksgiving, holidays etc..

We still are having trouble breaking away from each other. We still keep in contact through emails/text messages. It's really been the most heart-breaking situation I've ever known. I thought I was going to marry this girl.

I suggest you read the posts on this site. They will really give you insight into JW beliefs and doctrines. Educate yourself as much as you can on everything. And like I said, if you need advice or anything from someone on the outside who was in your exact situation, let me know.

Stay strong.

Kristofer
