  I am stupid...

  by metaspy in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i just thought i would give a little update on my fade.. for starters, i found a new job and will be starting soon.. secondly, i found the job far enough away that a move to a new apartment is necessary.. thus i have achieved two of the major parts of my fade at once.. i will not be working for a brother, nor renting from one.. .

  however, another part of my fade is my wanting to get out zelda, the girl i have loved for quite some time.. recently she tried to commit suicide again.. i have gone to see her every day since she went into the hospital.. this is more than i can say of the brother she is courting.. .

  her mother is df'd, we shall call her kairi.

  um... Thanks, marmot.
  I have worked on releasing myself from having feelings for Zelda for quite some time.
  She is just an amazing person in all aspects of her personality. Except for the self destructive part.

  I have gone to see her every day since she went into the hospital.
  This is more than I can say of the brother she is courting.
  
  Her mother is df'd, we shall call her Kairi. I still talk with Kairi, when she is there visiting Zelda.
  Tonight while there, she tells me that she is trying to become reinstated.
  We talk about all kinds of subjects, especially since she knows what has happened to both Zelda and me.
  Somehow we wander onto the subject of why I am willing to talk to her even though she is DF'd.
  STUPIDLY, I tell her about my plans to leave.
  At this point we are in the parking lot, no where near Zelda.
  She begs me not to do it. She tells me about how there is nothing in the world.
  
  Kairi is someone I trust not to tell the elders.
  She definitely wont tell them about our conversation. As she told me not to tell also.
  But how stupid am I to tell her anything about it after she told me that she was striving to be reinstated?!?
  Kairi did say that if I leave, she will make sure that Zelda never goes with me.

  When Meetings Went Overtime, What Did You Do?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i used to start looking at the clock behind me, look at my watch, look at the speaker or person handling the part and give obvious facial expressions expressing my dissatisfaction.

  it was a pet peeve of mine!

  a few times when i had the last part in a service meeting, i'd say, rather sternly,"this originally was a 15 minute part but because we are running out of time, we will dispense with (whatever).".

  If it is at night, I try my best to not fall asleep.
  usually it looked something like this (only without the cup)
  
  P.S. I stole this off of erynw's page of a thousand smileys

  I have also found the use of bracketed words disturbing, just like their use of elipsis (...)

  regarding the wts's decision to create a members only wt edition.

  are they expecting wonderful revelations.

  of new light or are they just quietly awaiting holding back their speculations?

  all whom I have asked about this one have said the same thing - it is a great thing.
  now they won't have to waste time explaining things we already know.
  those that are new will catch up in time.
  
  the new watchtower will be out in another month - we are at the end of Nov mags.

  GoverningBody.org is now up.

  well, i finally put up the site.

  the articles are nothing new - bits from wikipedia etc.

  but i hope it will persuade even one 'interested' one to avoid the jw's - and even get an existing member to think.

  once again i have been selected as the "chosen channel" of commnuication by an paranoid elder apostate in waiting to spread this divinely inspired information: .

  bfd.

  a recent letter to all traveling overseers and bodies of elders in the u.s. contains an interesting "change in policy".

  Local Needs tonight

  by metaspy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  here is something i thought was a bit weird.. tonights local needs was about depression.

  not so much in how we can help those with depression, but about getting over it.. the brother used the scriptures about elijah and the widow to show who was relying on jehovah.. he mentioned how the widow was obviously depressed.

  then showed how she should have been like elijah.. as i sat there and listened, i realized his underlying message:.

  As I sat there and listened, I realized his underlying message:
  Rely on Jehovah and just GET OVER your depression.
  He kept hitting on how if we rely on Jehovah and his Borg, we will not need to be depressed.
  I kept thinking, "how many people need to be depressed? They just are."
  
  Yet another proof that they dont really care about you.
  they just want you to get over it and do what they say.
