I felt that way when I first stopped going, but when I joined this site and a few others and started doing some research it started to go away. I know now that it was such a waist of time (mentally and physically) I have been out for a 1 1/2 yrs and I can sit here in my bedroom at night on the computer and not let it bother me that my mother-in-law is in the next room listening to the meetings over the speaker phone. What I do find is that when I do hear the brothers and sisters commenting it just makes my stomach churn because they sound so fake and overly sickingly sweet!

Have you felt this way?
by purplesofa in.
for a year now i have been dealing with some overwhelming problems..........and while doing that neglected other things and now they have come to a head as a problem.. i was driving and thinking............if i only had gone to the meetings this past year and a half.............and maybe if i start going again......things will get better........ it soon went away...........but did that nag at you in the back of your mind.......and if it did........how long did it last?.

Are "orbs" in photographs spirits?
by LovesDubs inas weird as i may be perceived, i do believe you can catch spirit entities on film.
and the more you believe in them the more you get on your pictures.
they are attracted to frovility, laughing, children, parties, families...and i take pictures at every function i go to and they arent always there.

Believe it or not my son who is 11 now but was 2-3 at the time could see balls of light that would cross the room at night and exit out the opposite wall. My daughter couldnt see them (she's 9 yrs older)
I believe in the spirit world and I believe that our house is haunted! we dont have anything that could be called demonized but my family has experience so much stuff in this house it cant be denied that something is going on in it!
I have pictures of orbs in a few pictures that were taken of me and it travels with each picture that was taken right after each other.

Oh and I wanted to add they had half of the seating blocked off!! I guess they were afraid that they may have to clean more than they wanted to.

My niece took my 74yr old mother-in-law to the convention on friday and my mother-in-law was able to sit with the elderly but it took my niece the whole first talk to find a seat for her and her two young children in tow (ages 3 and 5) each time an attendent would show them where they could sit then another elder or attendent would really rudely tell her that she couldnt sit there and would have to go somewhere else!!
It just made me fume when I heard this and I made a big point to let them know sarcasticaly that they really showed brotherly love didnt they?
My mother-in-law agreed but knowing her she will defend them to her death bed!

why won't witnesses use tv or radio?
by moomanchu inthe radio was used extensively in the 1920's and 1930's.
by 1933 the society was using 403 radio stations to broadcast bible lectures.
later, the use of the radio was largely replaced by increased house-to-house visits by witnesses with portable phonographs and recorded bible talks.

"So Alone"
by scout575 in"my dad died when i was 13, and my closest cousin got raped and stabbed and burned when i was 15. i am an only child so she was the closest thing i had to a sister.

I agree with the others, you need to get out and keep yourself busy so as not to dwell on what has happened.
Mike your pictures are so awsome and really bring peace to my soul, please keep posting and sharing them.
