  No more ordering X amount of Watchtowers per publisher at the book room.

  i was listening in last night and heard a special letter being read.. the speaker was so excited reading it.

  it basically said that from now on they will leave a stack of watchtowers on the counter at the kh and each publisher should take what they need for the week and bring back the ones they didn't use.

  if they run out they should use their old copies they have at home.... effective immediately.. .

  Anyways I though I would share. Not sure if anyone mentioned it already, but they all seemed extra excited about it.

  Welcome hadit,

  Finding out you have been lied to for so long and losing your faith in a Org you basically lived for is heartbreaking for sure. I'm so glad you have some worldly friends that should help with moving forward.

  almost all woman want to get married and have children.

  if you are a faithful jw woman there is a good chance this will never happen.

  70% of jw are woman and 30% are men.

  My SIL opened up to me on our last visit and told me how lonely she was and how tired she was of hearing.."well you get to travel" She has been all over for International conventions and looks to be a happy single sister on the outside. Inside she wants so bad to have those feelings that she sees all around her. She is in her 40's and has never had a boyfriend or kiss and she longs for that connection not to mention she would love to have children:(

  She told me it's getting so bad that when she attends weddings she feels jealous..especially because it's always some young beautiful sister. Something that she feels she could never compete with.

  She says she gets plenty of attention from worldly men..coworkers but she just feels bad that she would even consider that thought.

  I told her I couldn't imagine how she feels and how unfair I think it is for women to sit and wait to be the chosen one...I told her I wouldn't blame her one bit if she made a decision to make some choices that others may shun upon...At least she knows she has some support if she choses to follow her heart sometime..

  It's just so sad because I know if she wasn't in the Org she would have been married with kids a long time ago. Now she may never get that chance.

  hi all, new posting, but i've been lurking for a while.

  i thought it was time to "come out" as it were and voice my story.... i was born into the jw cult surrounded by all of my jw family.

  grandfather was an elder for almost 40 years till he passed, both of my uncles are currently now elders and have been for the last 15 years.

  Welcome...

  Very sorry for what you have been through, but I'm very happy you found this forum. You will find so many people including myself that can understand what you are going through. Sometimes, just knowing that is comforting.

  If you felt/feel that you had/have good, close "friends" in the org, how did/does it feel to just give them up?

  by Crisis of Conscience in

  this is my biggest dilema.

  although mentally i really feel i could walk away from the org right now, i still have genuine love for the people i have come to know over the years.

  i love people!.

  My child was molested by a fellow JW.

  When we weren't willing to Just Get Over the way we were treated and the lack of love shown to us and get back to meetings We realized how we really didn't have any good, close friends in the Org. The friendships were only conditional on us attending meetings.

  Now we all are making new friends that could care less what we do with our time or how we worship. I'm not saying it has been easy, but it's getting there. I could never go back and trust the kind of love that they give after what we went through..never.

  Quality Men who Don't Smoke and Don't Get Drunk...

  by White Dove in

  2. relationships

  why's it so hard to find them?

  it seems like everyone i see around me smokes: my apartments, every job i've ever had, people on the streets.

  finding a quality guy that smells good and has a functioning brain not strung out on drugs or alcohol every week is hard to find..
