  hi ya'll !.

  haven't been posting in a loooong time and perhaps this has already been discussed but i've heard that they're coming with a new understanding of the 144.000. that it should be taken symbolically and not literally!?.

  i guess they have to change it since so many more apparently belongs to the anointed ones..... well i hope this will make a few of them think and leave.. thx.

  Dear Pyramid,

  I also have a cat that I love so I can feel your pain...sorry about your losses...

  I'm not sure there's a god at all... coz nothing make sense to me either

  Take care

  what are the rewards for not being a witness any longer

  by Curtains in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if the carrot and stick aspect of being jehovahs witnesses upset you how do you reclaim your desire for reward?

  i'm assumng that you all agree with me that feeling rewarded is a basic human desire.

  how much effort do you think we should put into trying to make our lives rewarding?

  Welcome and thanks for sharing your story!

  I also left "both" at the same time. The best thing I've ever done. Well done!!

  However, I've yet to find my partner in life...

  Since I left I haven't opened a bible ones. And to me it's a relief but at the same time a bit strange. I've forgotten it very quickly!

  by Newborn in

  these days my thoughts are driving me nuts.

  i need a break from my mind.. since i split up with bf i haven't eaten or slept well and all the thoughts running through my head, abt what went wrong, abt the future etc etc., that just won't leave me alone makes me so anxious.

  how to turn off the brain?
