I told them about my boyfriend taking my witnesses stuff and she went on about how that is very rude and he doesn't sound like the best guy. She also said she misses me... yeah right.. she misses the greater number of hours she can turn in when she bible studies with people!!! I bet the witnesses were really freaked out when I came out with a cross on. YEP... I started wearing a cross :-D She told me my bible teacher told her that "we haven't been talking" -- I highly doubt that is what she told the other witnesses. It probably got all around that I went to see the pastor at the Lutheran church and started going to another church. Come on... how could a witness keep such great information about the devil corrupting another young one. WOW... and to think months ago I would have thought these words rude. HA... I am a rebel and I love it. :-) I haven't been in the hands on the devil just worshiping a different way. What's it matter how I worship.. either way I still want to know God. I just want to get to know him a different way. Elis

  Going to another church

  2. friends

  i have been missing some meetings... i don't know what my jw teacher thinks.

  i seriously could care less at this point.

  i just don't want to do it anymore... i want to praise god my way... not because some else says this is the way.

  I want to read the bible... and only the bible to find truth.
  ugh... no wonder people become "apostate"--- they don't turn their back on God... just the church.
  If the JW have THE TRUTH... why are there not more JWs?

  Is this a "staying in the group" technique?

  by I-follow-the-narrow-path in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i noticed that some of the members in the church are giving me gifts... for no apparent reason.

  are they just nice, or do they do this to keep me in the church.

  also, if i hear the word "the truth" one more time... ahhh... i keep hearing it left and right... it seems weird to hear.

  People saying "so how long you have been studying the truth?" or "it is so nice you are studying the truth"-- weird

  Do you regularly lie?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  although i love my parents, very often they lie to try to get out of a jam.

  then they have to lie again to cover the first lie.

  and often for really stupid reasons, they will lie instead of saying the truth and being direct.

  I don't lie as much as I should (did I just imply that lying is okay?)

  Brainwashed Children

  by I-follow-the-narrow-path in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i noticed an elder showed a picture of "paradise" and asked "who are the people dipicted"... .

  serveral children answered and said the same thing "they (look like they) are witnesses" -- .

  it was as if these children were taught that only jws are right... which they probably were.

  I feel bad at some point... knowing that these children probably view me and others as "worldly"
  These children were only about 8-10.. this kinda makes me worry. Will they grow up hating worldly people?

  How weird is this?

  by Mulan in

  2. friends

  i had an eye exam recently, expecting to need a new prescription.

  for about the 4th time in a row, my eyes have improved.

  the eye doctor told me that if i was a new eye patient, he would tell me i didn't need glasses.. i've worn them since i was 16 and i am now 60. i have astigmatism, but he said it is so slight, that i could easily get by with the lowest correction in reading glasses.. he said i didn't need to get new glasses unless i wanted to get some.

  Socializing

  by I-follow-the-narrow-path in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so... every meeting i go to... my jw and this one woman (rebecca) constantly tell me to socialize with people.

  but... i am a shy person... i can not just go up and talk to people i don't know.

  why do they keep pestering me to socialize... can i just not worship?

  Why do they keep pestering me to socialize... can I just not worship? Why do I have to have friends there?
  I don't even think the people at the KH are my type... plus they are either older or younger children, who I wouldn't want to do stuff with.
  I feel really lonely not knowing anyone and socializing like everyone else, but I take longer to get to know people
  any advice?

  Oh... NO NO.. I don't want to marry yet. 17 is far to early. All I want to know is how the JW will view it, if I am still studying with them.
