What Fictional Characters made a Strong Impression- from books,movies or tv
by Crumpet inas a kid was there a particular fictional character that you really wanted to be ?
or have there been fictional characters in books that you admired or loathed or epitomised a particular quality for you?
one that springs to mind periodically.. i havent read any dickens for years but some of his characters, even if sometimes a little deliberately one dimensional were portrayed in such detail that the character and the quality become embroiled.

Looks real to me Jeff - perhaps they were following the local christian custom of addressing strangers as brothers.

If most here R anti jw why bother writing mean hurtful and prejudges posts?
by ayhra inif most people are anti or ex jw why bother if you dont believe in it why waste your time writing mean hurtful and prejudges posts and set up a entire web site and forum dedicated to them.
its a religion not a cult and people write about jw's as a whole everyone is an individual and just like the rest of the world there are nice caring people as well as bad awful people.
jehovah witnesses dont set up web sites saying and exploting awful things that non jw's do to them, such as teasing bashing raping even murder..

My Aunty is and same with her husband and she was abused by her husband and the other JWs helped her to leave him which I’m grateful for.
I'm really glad your aunty is now safe from her abusive husband.
From what I have seen the abuse has to get really bad - life threatening in fact - before JW's will help a fellow witness leave their abusive mate. The guidance usually given by the elders is to stay and be meek and humble and wait on Jehovah. The victim is also to an extent made to feel guilty and responsible for the abuse.

Do you believe you have a particular purpose in life?
by journey-on ini ask this because as a jw, you are programmed to think your only purpose is to preach the good news of the kingdom....period.
but more and more, i've noticed in my own life a strong pull toward something i won't elaborate on, but it has me thinking that maybe we really do each have a particular purpose and it's up to us to discover what it is.
i know i'm kind of new to the forum, but please let me know if any of you have experienced this same kind of unusually strong pull toward something you can't fully explain.

I'm finding it very purposeful to feel rested (can't think of better word) in what is true - and express and enjoy from that basis.

I too remember stumbling across that site and found it very calming ........ when he recommended buddhism, I remember thinking buddhism?????? that's not even christian. I vaguely associated buddhism with mindlessness and peace at that time ... so that too was good for me.
