Maybe not to you... But definatly is to me. Will you allow me to have MY opinion?
of course ;) if you want to believe in the devil/satan/the boogie man/etc. that's your choice - I was just giving you a reason why he wouldn't be persecuting you.

I truly believe it is Satan that is attacking you & yours.
Why would he not?because he isn't real.

Did the elders in your congregation give counsel to those that were DATING? Good or bad counsel?
by BonaFide ini have heard some doozies.
some elders forbid the couple from sitting together at the meetings unless they are engaged.
i have heard that said from the platform.

I was told not to be in my car alone with my then gf, I explained this would be difficult as my car was a 2 seater sports car. The elder didn't seem to grasp this though.
Other than that it was pretty easy, I ignored his advice and noone else seemed to stick their nose in - so it was wasn't too bad, I think it's a bit more relaxed in the UK though.

Please help me to chill .... quit bouncing off the walls....detox...
by SnakesInTheTower inin some ways i am add....bouncing from thing to thing...i think i have always been a bit add, even as an kid.....never diagnosed formally, but i have the symptoms.. being a jw, especially an elder, did not help that one little bit.
i was always busy doing something as a jw...field service, "studying" for meetings or some part, elder business, helping others in the congo, etc.
i rarely took the time to just unwind, relax, do something for myself..... i was always worried about doing something for others.. on the other hand, on some things, i will be ultra focused on what i am doing to the point that i will let 8 hours go by and have to be reminded to go eat....this was the case when i was a billing specialist.. i would be in the middle of some fascinating adjustment (i love numbers, data analysis, stats, etc.

I have kind of the same problem - try and have something going on all the time to occupy your senses, put music on whenever you can, chillout music can help if you want to unwind www.helpmechill.com or if you want distraction listen to something with some energy and lots of layers like some classic trance or electronica.
Try and have a few things on the go entertainment wise, read 2-3 books, watch some tv series on DVD, take up some hobbies, do more time at work - you should be able to keep your mind pretty busy.
Exercise is essential, go for a 30-60 min run 3 times a week, that will help with stress and the whole bouncing off the walls thing massively.

Just my 2 Cents.......Go ahead and FLAME AWAY.....I won't reply
by scrapmama777 in"inciting hatred on the basis of race, religion, gender, nationality or sexuality or other personal characteristic.".
is this seriously one of the forum's rules to follow?
how can that be so when this whole forum is based on inciting hatred towards one religion.....jehovah's witnesses.......wow this is funny!

Not having a paradise earth in the future makes me sad - What about you?
by BonaFide inyes, i am enjoying realizing the truth about the truth.. but there is another side to it.
the world as we know it didn't seem to me to be the way that god intended it to be.
i know i was brainwashed, but it felt good believing that all the bad things would be changed.

no point fearing death, you wont know about it because you are... dead!
was it horrible before you were born? of course not, you didn't exist. it will be the same when you die, nothing to be scared of!

Anyone have a good Meeting for Field Service story?
by BonaFide inoh, yes those wonderful meetings for service.
for some reason, they are so long and disorganized and boring.
seems no one wants to get out there in the territory.. i remember in one hall when i was a teenager, a ministerial servant, about 50 years old, would conduct the midweek meeting for service at the kh at 9 am.

I think the "car group" concept is US only? Not something I've ever seen in the UK.

why would they care if anyone knows? the rank and file sure don't care - I told countless people and elders about the NGO affiliation, they thought it was all fine!?
They could probably start murdering people, find some scripture to back it up, and the R&F would be 100% happy with it.
