My name is okay but I would love to have the name Rhiannon. It is a Welsh name and I think it is beautiful.

! Out there in the rurals them and the witnesses can take turns driving each other crazy ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper
Mr. Flipper, that is so funny! I just had a vision of them going at it hammer and tongs, both trying to outdo eachother with false prophecies and running round from door to door with their Bibles trying to get their message in first.

Are you mostly disappointed in the WTS beliefs,doctrines,or practices?
by RULES & REGULATIONS ini'm here on jwd because of the watchtower's practice of disfellowshipping.
that's is one pratice that really made me question if i really wanted to continue as a member.
i always thought that by kicking the disfellowshipped or disassociated out of the kingdom hall was enough.

Disappointed isn't the word! I have been totally disallusioned by the WT for almost every reason. To discover that it is a cult and all a lie has shattered me and turned my belief system upside down. Then to find that I am not allowed to "not believe"it and leave, without being shunned and classed as an evil apostate is devastating to say the least.

i hate the feeling that I'm constantly being controlled...
by cognac inevery freaken thing i do is under a constant microscope... i feel like i'm constantly being judged and questioned and interrogated or "encouraged" to live my entire freaken life in a way that i don't want to.
i can't even have an opinion they don't like.
i feel like i'm suffocating and can't breath sometimes... why the hell can't i just simply live a peaceful life???

Cognac It is really awful to feel that every aspect of our life is being controlled in this way, but this only happens if we allow it to. Take your power back instead of giving it away or you will be forever pushed and pulled by the dictates of other people. In recovery I learned that I had been a people pleaser and my life was governed by what people thought of me and wanted me to do. It is often caused by low self-esteem because we don't value ourselves in the way we should. I only valued myself by how I thought other people saw me instead of having inner belief in myself, regardless of their opinions. Remember, you have a right to be true to yourself honey.

I have a HUGE dilemma and I need your help/advice
by Bumble Bee inok i posted a couple weeks ago that my uncle was dying.
i just found out today that he passed away on february 28th (yeah i know, i'm always the last to know these things).. ok, here's the problem - his funeral is scheduled for march 15th.
they couldn't have it this saturday, apparently there is something going on at gillead and people that would be attending the funeral will be there instead.

Sorry to hear that your uncle died Bumble Bee. It sounds like you have made up your mind but feel a little guilty about not going. You have said your goodbyes and that is the most important thing IMO. To go just for appearances is meaningless as you don't want to be there anyway.

Questioning Russell's background is gossip, so don't do it
by Robert7 inso i attended the sunday meeting yesterday, and i saw an example of a preemptive strike against those questioning the borg's russel and rutherford.. after about 25 minutes of the talk of blah blah blah (i cannot even recall any details) the speaker concludes by saying (paraphrased):.
"there are those who wonder about the allegations made against russel and rutherford.
we do not know them, so isn't that gossip?

What did you imagine life would be like in the New System?
by JH ini believed that we would all be young and healthy again, and there would be no more wars, but i didn't expect much change cause products have to be made and people have to work to make whatever they consume.
.
i imagined that we would be constantly watched incase we make the slightest error.. although living in paradise, it would be a constant combat, not against enemy forces but against our own desires and imperfection.. .
