one such disappointment in ourselves is that we know we should continue doing good unto others, but we're simply worn out.
I agree, rebel8.
I used to feel that what you said was an expression of negativity, a result of either my own low spirits or the fleshly thinking of bad-attitude brothers. Well, I know better now, don't I?
I appreciate your contribution to the discussion.

Thank you, Just Kidding, for covering the bases so thoroughly.
It always amazes me how another -- in this case, YOU! -- can express so eloquently what we are thinking, but in a somewhat jumbled manner.
Gratefully,
CoCo

Greetings, Magnum:
I'm glad I saw your post before heading out the door. Thank you so much.
Will be considering a reply to your heartrending commentary on the life we all endured. I, too, love study and looked forward to meetings in order to share what I had learned, particularly from "All Scripture Is Inspired . . ." Nevertherless, so much was missing, but only now do I realize that.
Good night.
CoCo

GET SOME REST, piztjw!
Thanks!

Thank you, SOP and Phizzy:
That's the point: worthwhile work may tire us physically, but we're charged up because we see the end result as something good. No wonder so many JWs are depressed. Being told repeatedly that an activity producing diminishing returns is a wonderful thing simply does not raise our low spirits.
Gratefully.

Thank you for replying, TTATTelder.
Your point is well taken. You're probably happy to be where you are now. I'm a little surprised so few forum members tired out on the WT treadmill. Perhaps they're thinking of an answer . . .

Good point, ADCMS, about the slave labor aspect.
You can't count time helping your brother or sister in need. Some goodhearted souls, of course, couldn't care less about official directives and simply go ahead and do the right thing.
Thanks,

I just now remembered an old WT article about the things that discourage us about our imperfect selves. One such disappointment in ourselves is that we know we should continue doing good unto others, but we're simply worn out. Then we (are made to) feel guilty. To be fair, however, I do recall some encouraging advice. Of course, the bottom line has always been to get some rest and then hit the treadmill again!
Did you tire out from all your JW-related theocratic activities?
Thanks.

not of your own accord would you slip away and leave this fragile and wounded man unattended.
i love you deeply, but, i admit, erratically.
my flaws are manifold.
Gee, Nancy!
Make that 2 true stories. So bitingly expressed. !!!
THANKS!
CC
i dreamed, once again, you were at my side talking, laughing, loving.
the sun warmed my face and you my heart as we lived a life forever.. i awoke with a start that left behind the land of our past, viewing my today for the misery and sadness that, truly, it is and ever shall be.. is it better to live in the land of dreams with the one i love or to exist alone and awake, recalling the dark intent that poisoned your heart?.
.
I recall most of the words, Nancy, but had never actually seen them written out. It does help to see and read them.
THANKS!
CC
