  My son was murdered today

  by truman in

  i have been on this site daily, almost from its beginning, since i left the jws in 2001, but i have been more of a reader than a poster, as you can see from my post count.

  i know few here know me, although i know many of you through reading your posts.

  maybe it is not right to ask for support, when i generally stay quietly in the background of this forum, but i want only to speak a human misery of the deepest kind.

  i posted this many months ago, but I have heard from a fairly reliable source that there will be at least 2 appointments in the near future (whatever that means with JW time). One will be a brother from a Latin/South American country and the other from the Northeast U.S. This source made it sound like they were allowing time for one of these brothers to ""mature" as he has only recently been anointed.

  Wow, This is Getting Tougher!

  i'm having a really hard time giving my meeting parts.

  i had a service meeting part this week and i could hardly get through it.

  i am no longer convinced of some of the things jws teach and so i try to either eliminate those things from my parts, or reword them so that i'm not speaking about that which i do not personally believe.

  This ws the catalyst for me stepping down. I recall giving public talks (45 min back then), ones I had given multiple times where the words were on autopilot, yet in my mind I kept thinking this is B*llsh*t while giving the talk. In my case it only got worse. The PO had to "correct my thinking" several times in areas I replied were innocent mistakes due to nerves.

  It will only get tougher, so stop looking for a fix to this problem. If you are not going to step down, request a break due to family, illness, work, etc.

  BTW-you opened a door that there is no turning back from. The best thing you can do is plan your exit.

  my hubby and i have registered for our first 1/2 marathon.

  now, i have never been a runner, which is kind of scary.

  but i have been going to a personal trainer 3 days a week for the past 11 weeks, in addition to doing 60 min.

  I have run 2 half's in the last 3 months.

  Pick a race with good participation and you will have plenty of company no matter your ability.

  Also, the gym is great for weight loss and cross training but make sure you are putting miles in on the road.

  Good luck!

  I drive by this place daily.

  As a taxpayer I am impressed, thankful, and supportive that they took an eyesore and turned into a very atractive facility ( and made a ton of cash selling the property Home Depot is on,next door).

  As a former J-dub ( and my wife and kids go there twice a year), I'd like to burn it down!

  BTW if any of you ae in the area, or visiting, let's have lunch (It's on me) Just PM me.

  I used to love when meetings/service were canceled because of snow.

  That was before I realized I really did have free will and didn't need the congregation to tell me I was allowed to stay home.
