  Elders, oh my God what a bunch of losers!

  by Crazyguy in

  2. beliefs

  ok i don't mean to put all of them into just one box so to speak, their are some that are smart successful etc.

  but my god most of them are just wasted space, ignorant, no drive, horrible jobs, make nothing for income and the only thing in life they have going for them is this title.

  no wonder so many will not wake up and hold on to this stupid cult, it's all they have.

  I knew a lot of elders that are nice people. My bf was an elder. Having a thread calling them losers and starting a sentence with, "MOST of them are wasted space" is offensive and rude.

  You really just started an elder bashing thread on a forum with a bunch of former elders on it? Really???

  this year i put a new ornament up on the tree.

  what makes it special is that it is a picture frame ornament.

  the picture inside the frame is a recent family photo of all the people i haven't seen in years standing in front of a hall.

  Sadly her parents chose to conceal the sexual nature of the incident and told her not to say anything about it.

  IMO, parents are just as guilty, and maybe even more so, as the perpetrator. They should be jailed too...

  Rivalry among the sisters

  by Esmeralda001 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when i was first introduced to the "truth", i was so distracted by the love and affection that the members were showing me that i was ready to convert into the religion without thinking twice.

  i was conviced that jws were god's people (i still think some of them are).

  i made it my goal to get baptized as i wanted to be part of the "only" religion that produce such good people.

  I never noticed much. But, I never had any really nice things. I remember the older kids seemed competitive. I just had a really good group of friends growing up. A bunch of us had difficult backgrounds so we sort of clung to each other.

  I don't really think I was viewed as competition. Anyways, if there was any for the most part I was probably way into my own little world to really notice, lol.

  In my mid-twenties I was ignored a lot by the girls my age. I'm not sure if that was competition or they just had their own little click. But, that was kinda hurtful cause I did reach out to them.

  Freedom in admitting the truth...

  by _Morpheus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for those that lurk or havnt decided to post yet.... living a lie is difficult.

  nobody would likely disagree with that... many of us lived or are living the wt lie for the sake of friends or family.

  it can eat at us and put us in situations where we frame half truths, try to find tactful way to avoid telling people what we really think.. there is great freedom in being able to admit truths.

  Keep admitting truths to yourself, however shocking those truths may be to you.

  I had forgotten how painful this can be..... 😢😢😢
