i love "let's stay together" by al green.
tina turner does a great job of that too!.
some songs just make you feel good.
Definately got to be:
Meat Loaf- I'd do anything for love (But I won't do that)
I love that song and my study conductor couldn't take it away from me, like she made me get rid of my Green Day and NickelbacK!!!!
But going to buy the again soon. Yipeeeee
everyone seems to just hate the wt.. i am very upset with the way ive been treated but i dont hate them.. they have given me huge self confidence after helping me out of depression, although i have a fab counsellor, so they cant get all the credit.
they have made me independent as well, (i think my ex-study conductor regrets that!
) i suddenly have a mind of my own and am not afraid to use it.. i owe them quite a lot they have really helped me through some bad times but they have created some bad times for me too.

I owe them quite a lot they have really helped me through some bad times but they have created some bad times for me too. But all in all, I am a much better person for meeting and studying with them!
So I thought I might get them a present this year- Im going to buy them some Christmas decorations because they don't already have some. I just hope they appreciate them as much as I have appreciated knowing them.
this is my first time posting and even visiting the site - there have been some great reads so far, some real life changing stories.
i could not help but notice that there seems to be a larger number of heartfelt stories about growing up gay amongst males.
what about lesbians, in my overall internet search i have only found a handful of stories.
Hiya
Last month I told my female Bible Study Conductor that I was in love with her. She went a bit quiet and told the elders.
The elders had a meeting with me, asking me if I had ever slept with a woman etc... They love the details dont they.
Anyway off to the meeting tonight where they are going to announce me as no longer an unbaptised publisher!!!
Its all good fun aint it x
i was reading on jwr a thread that linked to these funny indian music videos that weere "subtitled" in english (very funny if you have seen them...) and the thread author was like, "after armageddon if i get resurrected i'm totally going to direct indian music videos".
which is all sorta beside the point, but prompted me to think back and try to recall what exactly i planned to do in the new system.
you know- we all had those things we really wanted to do but were going to "wait until the new system to..." do whatever.. so: are you actually doing those things now, or were they totally unrealistic and fairytale type stuff like "riding a tiger up mt everest and snowboarding down"??
I always believed too that I would not be good enough and and I couldn't see how this world could be a paradise, so I never really managed to buy into that, and my study conductor knew that too, she was so desperate to make me see the light, but things couldn't be that good.
All I wanted to do was be a farmer! Hey I can do that now!!!
feeling guilty already about being on here, the familiar words are recalled in my mind "don't go on any jehovah's witness websites except 'watchtower.org'!
so here i am, desperate for some help.
i'm 21 and have been studying for 2 years, i was made an unbaptised publisher in february and it was all going great until i had a problem with getting a little tipsy, the elders had to come scrape me off the floor of my witness friends house and take me home.
Thank you everyone here. You have all been Fab especially HB and Mr Majestic]
Looking forward to getting to know some of you x
based on a discussion last night and a request to write something about it i went hunting through some old posts and found this one.
emotional blackmail and jws.
we were discussing whether it is emotional abuse when the elders visit us after we have left and wind up being nasty or try to pressure us to go back.. so i was thinking - what are some of their tactics and would they fit into this category?.
I totally agree, when I was going through a rebellious patch, my study conductor asked how I think my deceased Gran will feel when she is resurrected and Im not there. Its been two and half years and I still havent got over her death and I was suffering severe depression at the time!
It all in the name of Christian Love!!!
i don't quite understand why you call it commenting.. when i attended meeting the question at end were read.. when people "commented" it was never a real comment.. it was just reading back word for word a sentence or two from the paragraph that answered the question.. i would think "commentary" would be something you put in your own words and give a personal statement about it.. .
why do you call it "comments" when it is more like reciting?.
or is it different in other kh?.
Completely agree with Virgochik, although not an elders daughters (my parents hate the truth and have never ever been part of it) I was made to answer with the exact jab in the ribs and the glare from my study conductor, if I didnt answer she would say 'Well thats between you and Jehovah' making me feel as though I had commited a sin and was to be punished!
Current;y being shunned by my ex-study conductor so no more bruised ribs!!!!
i'm having some difficulty navigating the site, but thanks asilent one for the nice welcome.
Hi Stillin! Welcome to the forum, I'm new too
I felt exactly the same about the service, I just couldn't tell others about the organisation's lies and massive faults.
Good Luck with your case!!!!

Hi guys
Sorry for the delay in updating you all. I've been doing alot of soul searching!
I went to the elders meeting, no invasive questions they were simply stern but nice to me. I now have to wait until they all meet up and chat about my sex life on thursday after the meetinbg. I will not be there, I may not even step into a kingdom hall again.
It is lies upon lies and I can't believe Im saying that!
My study conductor will only speak to me on the way to the meeting and at the hall. Some friend she is!!!! Well conditional love has taken my 'friend' away from me and I can see why the children are running for the hills. I'm just glad that I found all this out when I did, otherwise I would have complete shunning from my so-called friends.
Im feeling happy and upbeat now after a whole week of guilt trips and pain.
Looking forward to celebrating my 21st birthday that I missed in November Im hoping to invite all my worldly friends and have a good laugh!!!!
Cheers guys
