I'm glad you put it again, because I did not see it before. I think of my family who are in and I wish they could see this for what it is. But to them, it is food at the proper time. Sickening!

my story, would like some advice

by deservingone26 in

im looking for some advice.. so i grew up as a witness was baptized when i was seventeen, which by the way i was pushed into baptizm cuse my parents kept asking me when i was and threatned to not buy me a car if i didnt get baptized.

since it was never in my heart i was never very dedicated and was disfellowshipped by nineteen i started the process of coming back but after bout four months i moved out.

i started partying alot mainly with my other disfellowshipped friends and nonactive jw frien, we were drinking alot and smoking weed but soon i started feeling the need to go back so i started up at the meetings but i got bored and went back to my old ways, this has been what i have been doing for the last five years, partying getting drunk and drugs and then stopping and going back to the meetings for a couple months, the same process for last the last almost five years.

You do need to get some counseling, maybe some rehab. You need some direction to help you start figuring out what you really want to do. I don't know exactly what your financial situation is, but you should be able to find some inexpensive counseling help. Many places have a fee schedule based on your income. Also, if you feel that substance abuse is a problem, 12-step programs are free (Alcoholics Anonymous/Narcotics Anonymous), though generally everyone puts a dollar in the pot at each meeting to pay for rent, literature, coffee, and candy. You don't put anything in first meeting, though. If you find that is the way to go, you can get a sponsor who will help you work through things.

Also, you need new interests and new friends. See what is available in your community. I don't know what you are interested in, but many times there are free programs at the library (at least in our community) or you could even volunteer at a hospital, soup kitchen, or something like that. Also the library would be a good place for you to seek information about whatever issues you feel applies to you.

Coming on this discussion board is good, too. Many people here will take an interest in you and befriend if you continue to post. I hope you can get your head together and decide what to do and where to go from here. I guarantee you, the party scene is a deadend (been there, done that).

Members of Governing Body preach door to door?

by ZionsWatchTower in

does anyone know if they still make this work?.

*sorry for my bad english.... .

mimimimi

Jookbeard, you said they all probably think they've done their fair share of door banging and want to live their remaining years in luxury and leisure, would you blame them? Well, would they blame the rank and file publisher who felt the same way? Absolutely they would - they would push them to get out there and still do more than humanly possible to get it done. Even invalids and disabled people are supposed to do what they can, to the point of allowing them to turn in fractions of hours to show they have done it. Shame, shame, shame on the governing body!

LURKERS: Is JW the only true religion? Here is my personal research!

by mentallyfree31 in

are jehovah's witnesses the only religion teaching the truth?.

the statement that only jehovah's witnesses are teaching the truth is an extraordinary claim.

such a claim would require extraordinary evidence.
