  How do you feel when you see groups of Jehovah's Witnesses in the ministry?

  by nicolaou in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  regret, anger, frustration?

  how about sadness, sorrow, sympathy, understanding, even compassion!.

  it can be quite confusing at times, especially if some of those witnesses were your friends.

  2. experiences

  i have been wrestling with the idea of da'ing myself for close to a year now.

  but there is a small area in my subconscious that whispers "this is not a good idea.

  i haven't been to a meeting in over six months, no service in seven years.

  Why are so many leaving?

  by Dorktacular in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've noticed as of late that quite a few people are posting "good bye" threads.... why?.

  sometimes people have disagreements or arguments, but does that mean they can't remain friends or talk?.

  hell, if i left my wife every time we had an argument, we wouldn't have stayed married through our honeymoon!

  Does anyone remember the big 6 month Bible study push during the mid 1990s?

  by neverendingjourney in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was a regular pioneer for a while during the mid 90s, about a year or two after the knowledge book replaced the live forever book as the primary bible study manual.

  around that time the society began to spew a bunch of b.s.

  about the end being so near (hadn't heard that one before) and how there were waiting lists for bible studies in many former soviet countries.

  Loneliness

  by B_Deserter in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i wasn't sure i was ready for it, but i did it anyway...i put out a personal ad.

  i've gotten a few responses, but nothing seems promising yet.

  i get the feeling that internet dating is more about quantity than quality, but i think that's what i need right now.

  Small joys

  by heybaby in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  you know how there are somethings that give you so much pleasure or joy?

  it doesn't have to be anything amazing or huge, but for some reason it makes you so happy for those few moments.

  some of mine are drinking coffee in the morning with my best friend at work, and the smell of an open fire (it reminds me of being a young child at my grandparents' house).

  i'm feeling rejected and hurt because i've just been informed that i am not invited to my little sisters wedding.

  first, here's a little background story on my relationship with her: she and i are three years apart.

  when we were younger we were very close (i was in the "truth" back then).
