College...(don't tell the elders)

by SB in

hey all, i'm new to the board, and happy to have found it.

i'm going to college for the first time (i'm 25 yrs old).

does anyone have any advice on how to handle the challenge?

collegegirl21

Welcome to the board. I am in college right now. I actually recently just moved back in with my parents, so I am working full time, going to their meetings and I am going to school full time. Its hard, but if you take one day at a time you will get through it. If you need to talk, I am here and I can definitely relate. I was on my own for 5 years before moving back in with my parents, my dad is sick again, and I hate being home and cannot wait to get my own place in their town in May, but that's besides the point.

If you need anyone to talk to or relate with, a lot of us are here to listen. Again... Welcome!

hey, for you yahoo/google discussion group junkies, i've just created a discussion group on both yahoo and google for former and current jws who are attending college or are seriously thinking about attending college (meaning you've begun the process).

this is for us to centralize discussion on issues relating to college and to network and encourage academic excellence.

check them out, i'd like to get this started.

Hey NYCkid... Can you post the yahoo site on here too? Thanks!

Jesus .... the first great magician?

by collegegirl21 in

i was talking with one of my guy friends because i'm not sure what i believe right now and he asked me this question, "what if jesus was just the first great magician?

" he pointed out that magicians now could walk on water, and do other miraculous things that "ordinary" people couldn't normally do.

so i pose the question to you: what do you think about jesus being the first great magician?

Lol... funny! You all have good points. I'm looking at this in a whole different view.

How many are like me?

i still believe in god.

still believe his name is jehovah or something like it.. still believe that jesus is his son, and he isn't god almighty.. don't believe in the trinity.

i believe in the resurrection.

collegegirl21

I'm not sure what I believe. My roommate and I were doing research on how YHWH is suppose to be pronounced, we looked it up in the encyclopedia and Jehovah really isn't the right way to pronounce his name. I've never actually believed in the religion - I believe in some beliefs, but I bet I would agree with some beliefs in every religion. I guess its just how you look at things.

Finding Love with a Former Jehovah's Witness

by The wanderer in

finding love with a former jehovah's witness often times, i thought to myself whether or not it .

would prove to be an advantage or a disadvantage.

dating a former jehovah's witness.. advantage or disadvantage?

collegegirl21

I would not be opposed to dating an Ex-Jw... personally I think it would be easier because they can understand what you've been through and they would never just brush it off. I am not seeking one out. If I meet one on here great.. if not great.

hi guys,.

sorry to burden you all with this but i really have no one that i want to talk about this with, i'm afraid that i will burst into tears and wont be able to stop if i call any of my friends and tell them what's going on.

my little sister has been ill with a fever for three weeks, her doctor kept telling her it was just a bad case of the flu and that she had an ear infection, he gave her antibiotics and sent her home.

collegegirl21

I know we aren't talking, but if you need someone to talk to, this is more important than us fighting. I will be hear to listen, you have my number. (((Lola))) I am so sorry for what is happening to your family and your sister. If you need anything please let me know! I love you!
