  Why does it seem to be unhappy people who are attracted to the JWs?

  by new boy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have had time to think about this........... i was an attendent for many years.......... and looking up and down the rows at every family that was seating there in the khs........... no one was happy!.

  i think of my mother (who brought this religion into our house)......she was one of the most unhappy and miserable people you would ever meet!

  she was a spiritual orphan with few friends and no real family to speak of.. she got the "good news" back in 1950, that "the world" was a bad place and god, would soon be killing most everyone......she was thrilled!...............

  How do you make friends once leaving the Borg?

  by unhappy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i'm starting the fading out now, and i'm avoiding all kh 'friends,' but am finding it a bit lonely, as was raised in org, and was always taught to shun worldly people even at school.

  does anyone have any advice or experiences about how to overcome this?

  how they met and made new friends in the beginning?

  Out of Mythic into Rational consciousness, the EX-JW Journey

  by jst2laws in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have been absent much for almost a year, reading, learning and breaking out of boxes, figuratively.

  i'm hoping that sharing some thoughts and asking some questions might be fun, and maybe helpful for a few.

  have you wondered how two people can look at the same information, go through the same experience as you, perhaps even be party to the same conversation yet come away with an entirely different perception?

  So how do you keep your clothes hangers tidy?

  by ozziepost in

  ok, fluffy time!.

  mrs ozzie and i are just back home and so there's plenty of laundry to do - that's my job, and i quite enjoy it, but there's one thing that spoils it for me and that's the clothes hangars!.

  you know how it goes, some hangars for pants, some for skirts, some for shirts, and then some are plastic, some are steel and some are those confounded wire hangars you get from the dry cleaners.. they're always getting tangled up; it doesn't matter how well i stack them (i've got a basket for them), when i get out in the yard to hang out the clothes, there's always one, it only takes one!

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am a new to posting on this board though i have been actively reading your posts the past while and i thank some of you for the interesting viewpoints that you have verbalized and that i have enjoyed thinking on.

  i am still an active jw, in fact an elder of 20 years standing hence my need to limit information about my personal circumstances.

  i have served in a number of countries in europe as a pioneer and elder over the past three decades.
