  What do they get out of this?

  by MisfitMeL in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  maybe this has been discussed before but i'm starting to wonder why it is so important for wts to keep such a tight control over its members?.

  is it because the gb and other folk in upper management are so delusional and psychotic, that they believe in the rubbish they spout?.

  or is someone somewhere getting something (financially) out of this?.

  JW christmas is just round the corner... ugh!

  by MisfitMeL in

  yeah so the memorial is getting closer.. and even though my mum knows i am not attending the meetings, she keeps staying i should at least attend the memorial.... coz it's like special.. no idea how to get myself out of it.

  everytime she brings up the topic over the phone, i just mumble and say stuff like, yeah but i finish work late... i dunno where the kh is out here etc etc.

  i don't know why jws treat the memorial like it's christmas.

  I can't help but feel bad about it all.

  ok so i travelled home last weekend to break the news to my mum about my engagement to a 'wordly' man.. to be honest, i chickened out and instead of confronting her face to face, i decided to write a long letter to her about it.. we have never really got on and she has a knack for getting on my nerves.

  she was very emotionally abusive throughout my childhood (and can still be).

  i guess she had her reasons although it doesn't excuse the behaviour.. anyway i tried to be as diplomatic as possible.

  Ho hum the time has come!

  well it's very close.... i knew this would kinda happen at some point in my life.... still you only realise the full extent of the situation when you are facing it.. i never was a 'hard core' jw and all of the 'secret' boyfriends i've had were non-jws.

  present one included.

  except now, we have decided to get married and i have the most unpleasant task ahead of me.. 1) i'm indian, so dating isn't really accepted as the norm and most parents are very conservative.. 2) my mum is a jw and i was raised as one (though i am an atheist now, but she doesn't know this!!

  Please help, I need a list :)

  i expect a major confrontation with my mum in the near future regarding my non-association with jws.. i plan to discuss my unwillingness to associate based on 'things i have discovered' about the org.

  i would like to prepare in advance for a lengthy argument and for this purpose i would like to compile a list of issues.. however, i want to discuss using only jw publications.

  mum has the wt library (2003) and some books but not the rare or uncommon ones.

  Need your feedback please! Relationship question.

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok i'm not sure where to put this thread, but seeing as this section is the one that is most frequented by members, i hope to get some feedback asap.. i am a person that has issues with depression and fairly recently i have started paying a bit of attention to my 'mood swings' and have noticed a sort of high in addition to my lows.

  this has made me a little worried that i might have some mild form of bpd.... but then i do tend to worry over nothing!.

  i do not have therapy because i currently cannot afford it.

  Random thoughts : Evolution of god

  by MisfitMeL in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hmmmm not sure if it could be termed as evolution of god... maybe evolution of our consciousness?

  spiritual maturity?.

  some thoughts that occured to me as i was reading a number of threads around the forum... maybe this idea has made an appearance before..... disclaimer : i am no expert in the history of human belief so i won't be surprised if i am wrong on my facts/chronology.. ok so as humans evolved (this is from my perspective as an atheist so if you don't agree, too bad .

  Scribblings at the convention

  by MisfitMeL in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm sure others have done similar topics and there might be many points that are repeated - i apologise!.

  i allowed myself to be dragged by mum to the district convention which was a very bad idea... i have not been to a meeting in four years... so it's like staying clean for four years and then overdosing it for 3 days in a row (5 days if you count the total time spent staying with an elder's family!

  ) - bad reaction!
