  If you are referring to Bible Studies with non-believers...they can be done almost anywhere.

  Most are done in the persons home, some are done at the home of the JW, some are in the Kingdom Hall, or the public library. It really depends on what the "householder" wants.

  An example of why they may be conducted other than the person's home is: the person studying may have an abusive spouse who doesn't want them to study. They will make an excuse to "go to the library" and have their study there.

  as a young adult, i did many stupid things in my life, including becoming a jw.

  however, that decision only hurt myself and not others.

  i was ignorant and to a certain extent fooled.

  ive been lurking this site for quite a while but for some reason never could muster up the courage to post.. let me give a little background on my self.. i am 18 and male an still living with my parents.

  i was baptised at 15 basically against my will (by cracking under the pressure) but only truly broke out of the drone like mindswhen i was 17. since then its been totall choas in my life all of it stemming from the orginization of course.

  my parents are the defenition of brainwashed wittnesses, my father even belives he is anointed.. after i got baptised i suffered from intense deppression and with a little soul searching, after a year i realized that i need some time for my self.

  Good to meet you! Thank you for posting!

  The first post really does take a lot of courage! Good for you. It means you are taking the initial steps to move forward.

  You are so young and have so much ahead of you. You are very fortunate to have found your way out and start adulthood off well. I am sorry you may experience being pushed out of the "nest" at home. But it may be to your advantage and peace in the end.

  If you still believe in God, do not believe their lies when they say you "are leaving" him! That just isn't true at all!

  I wish you all the best with your future and the present situation you are in! Looking forward to hearing more from you!

  is it the same for everyone who is an ex witness?

  do we all go to bed every night of our lives detached for the human experience at a level the vast majority take for granted and enjoy everyday?

  i sometimes think my inability to love was switched off at such a young age i am incapable of letting anyone else in.

  To a point, I can relate. I feel the ability to love, but not the skill to reach out and make connections. I am trying. I feel warped and paralyzed that way. I feel like I need a re-boot so to speak of my friendship making skills. They were suppressed as a child with "everyone being evil" and all.

  With family shunning, especially my mother, I do go to bed every night with sadness. That makes me feel detached. When the one person in the world that should be there, turns on you...it really leaves a cold empty hollow in your soul. Almost swallowing you at times.

  I am sorry you feel this way. Give yourself time, and keep mind over matter! Keep reasoning with yourself what is the right course you should take. Have courage and hope. And take your time.

  you know, i imagine there's some sort of initiation ceremony that's involved with becoming a member of the sanctum sanctorum.

  the dewey-eyed sycophants mentored into supporting this imaginary entity - the magical governing body.. .

  cbs sunday morning news often has inspirational stories.

  here was one about a family that came from poverty and was inspired to send everyone to college- everyone in the family:.

  I think you did right. Don't let the conflict of the religion spoil your day.

  If it inspired her, and you know how she feels, I am sure she sits in turmoil at each "experience" of a young JW at the assembly who has given up a scholarship. I know I did. It made me sick and the last few years we were in, I didn't add to the candid "clapping" afterwards. I am sure it eats at her. Let it work on her by itself. It will be her discovery that she can't find a way to defend and may cause the beginning of doubts.

  In the meanwhile, you get to have a great day. Enjoy it!

  I Have A New Grandson But He's Very Sick :(

  he was born yesterday with many complications including breathing problems, possible lung underdevelpment, anemia and body temperature issues.

  the poor little guy was hooked up to a breathing tube and tons of monitors.

  because the hospitals couldn't handle some of the problems, they sent him and my daughter to the best hospital in boston last night.

  the best thing for me..... my son stopped over and he realized he needs to buy a home....so we quickly did a run on the internet in our neighborhood and he found a jewel.. whether he gets it or not....it was fun for both my husband and myself to go see, help him ask questions and give him the ok.. it's probably just a dream, but reminded us of our younger days.. how was your day?

  something happy please!!!!

  we have enough horrible negatives going on right now..
