  Would humour deflate, as in, "*chuckle* were you just trying to preach to me there?"

  They continue to drop like flies

  yes, the jws continue to bleed their young ones, so far in my local kh 3 were dfd, one girl just turned 18 this month and packed her bags and said goodbye to the cult and her cultish parents, another young 18 year old man decided to have a non-jw girlfriend and decided to stop attending and is no longer a witness.

  they continue to leave and wt leaders dont give a damn.

  they dont do anything to help kids be successful and live a healthy life.. .

  WATCHTOWER on revelation's MYSTERY GREAT BABYLON, And your view about it

  by gggolovkin in

  i think wt interpretation about the rev.

  mystery great babylon is too general, saying that is all false religion..... from reading revelation, it looks more specific because it says, it is the mother, ( maybe origin or root ).... what's your view ?

  thank u and hoping for ur replies.

  The addition of the mystery is a literary trick that has enslaved hundreds of generations.

  That was painful to read. I can't imagine what it would be like to live it. I like the silence idea every time conversation strays theocratic.

  i hate self-promotion.

  but every time i put something out there on the internet, and then promote it, some part of me feels ashamed for drawing attention to myself.

  I am sure there is something in Ecclesiastes about the wisest failing to self-promote. I am sure your materials hit just the right note, and bravo for speaking up.

  Need some help from you guys

  so recently i've been preparing to move out of my parents house, and i've been seeking social assistance.

  at my appointment, my social worker asked me for references to people who know about my situation at home.

  i know probably nnone of you guys know me too well personally, or my home life, but i know all of you guys have been through similar situations.

  Ducatijoe, I needed social services for a few years. I turned out fine.

  It is difficult for a teenager determined to enmancipate himself, to convince workers how very toxic home shunning can be.

  Man extreme example here in Canada, two teen girls were murdered by their father and brother, despite their pleas to the agencies set up to protect them.

  I want it to be the truth, but I don't believe it. Unless I do but don't want to. Huh?

  if i did believe, i think i could have what it takes to be what's considered a 'good jw'....being a missionary actually really appeals to me.

  but obviously i couldn't live that life if i didn't believe in my heart it's the truth.

  i'm young, and interested in doing some kind of humanitarian work... kind of a secular equivalent of "serving where the need is greater.

  There is a great feeling from making a difference. There is no need to spiritualize it. The Peace Corps was the first organization that came to mind. I am curious about the activities of Engineers Without Borders.

  hello everyone..... i've been thinking a lot lately, when i have a chance to be alone my mind immediately comes to the topic at hand-- i don't want to die.

  what would happen to my precious little girls?

  but i'm so scared that it's going to happen.

  Aunt Fancy said everything I wanted to say. I raised my two children on my own and I felt keenly the extra burden that was on me. Get an insurance policy and a will made up, as morbid as that sounds. Then work at being as strong and healthy as you can be. I sense your natural approach to life is fun and full of whimsy. Find that place again.

  Jehovah's Witnesses in Group

  once i left the witnesses in high school, i did not run into any witnesses.

  the locals lived in a downtrodden neighborhood so our lives were separate.

  there was a spy among the neighbors but i could not care less.

  It can be tough in group when the greatest benefit is from sharing openly. I would have trouble sharing with a Witness in the group too. Perhaps you can encourage your group partner every time she shares something genuine, and be neutral or silent every time she spouts BS.
