in a conversation with my mum she said, "son the friends love you and care about you so much.
they would die for you.
that's something you don't find in the world.
Damn straight. The friends I have now know how to show genuine love and care, are sweeter and kinder than any JW I ever knew. Of course "worldly people" don't love the same as JWs. They don't have that damn silly religion teaching them it's OK not to love.
sorry to keep dragging this on ... but this is really the only place to vent right?
so basically it's going on 4 months now that we've had zero meeting attendance, and for the last 2 months we have not reported any service time (prior to that, when our service group overseer would send a text asking for our time, we would report 4 hours each, for our "family study").
in my last post, i talked about how we were having a really difficult time beginning a new life outside the organization.
I'm sorry you feel sad and alone.
Where are you? Maybe someone here lives in your area and you could meetup. Don't stay alone in the house all day. Get out in the sunshine every day even if you don't feel like it. I'm not really being much help, but I know how you feel and I wish you lived near here, northern California.
hi all, i've posted here in crisis a few weeks ago.
i recently have finally taken the time to write out my entire story.
i knew i had to come out to my parents and family about everything, my sexuality, and my issues with the jehovah's witnesses.
One foot in front of the other. Keep on marching toward your goals. Happiness will come back, with new people and a life of freedom.
jehovah's witness mother ends relationship with atheist son.source http://lefthemispheres.blogspot.ca/2012/06/letter-jehovahs-witness-mother-ends.htmlhttp://davetrash.wordpress.com/2012/06/18/the-letter/.

Well, if you keep on this path god's going to destroy you. I love you, son. Bye!!!
I have a hard time understanding how they can think god is loving and at the same time believe he is going to destroy millions and millions of men, women and children because they aren't jehovah's witnesses. Doesn't matter whether they are good, decent people doing the best they can. Nope. They aren't JWs, therefore they are toast.

she was a 12 year old maltese.
the best pet in the world.
my wife and i never had kids, so she was our only daughter.
I'm sorry -- I've lost pets before and it is very sad and lonely when they're gone
in my studies, i've settled into a routine of two units per semester, which gives me time to explore interesting side-roads, away from the assigned readings.
this semester past, i attempted on study unit at macquarie u and one at sydney u.. macquarie results were released last friday, and for that study unit (rome's persian wars) my aggregated mark was 78 and so a distinction.. and, at sydney u, released yesterday, my aggregated mark for, japan in asia from 1840 to today, was 90, which meant a high distinction.. .
i feel so pleased, not only am i acheiving my goal of understanding the historical processes that have formed modern asia, but i am mastering the process of critical thinking that is the basis of modern scholarship.. so for semester 2, i've enrolled in byzantium at macquarie, and which will give me a chance to explore the way the christian church became a theocratic government in the eastern empire's cities.. .
Good for you -- I'm glad you're pursuing your interests in such depth
ok folks--for the fun of it--lets have nominations for our own apostate governing body.. .

I agree -- we don't need anyone to tell us what to do!
a tourist seems to get carried away with his visit, but his video gives a good overview of modern china.

I recognize some of those places, remember my trips to China. Loved going there, I see it has changed quite a bit, though. Thanks for sharing!

Not nit-picking, just being precise. It's OK!
And it's pretty obvious he was referring to JWs. At least, I don't know of any other religion that said the end was coming then.
