It always seemed like the people that said that knew more about what Jehovah was trying to say than he ever was. In fact, in 36 years, I don't think I ever got a clear answer on what he wanted specifically, and certainly not his opinion on my job choice or vacation destination. Seriously.

regarding the letter i sent to my sisterinlaw
by looloo inhi on a recent previous thread i mentioned i had sent a letter to my 19 year old sisterin law about her shunning my husband (her bro) well she lives with her mum and dad , and i know she can not have told them about receiving my letter as neither of them has mentioned it to my husband , do you think this is a good sign and that maybe she wants to check out those books i told her to read .
i know that had she told them we would know by now how annoyed they are ..

The end of what? I kid. I know what you mean. How long has he been DF'd? Does he desire to go back, or just stay out and be a slave to their ideas for the rest of his existance? If he doesn't want to go back, have him read up on freeing his mind and stopping the thought process that makes him think the Society is correct in it's teachings. If he does want to go back, have him read up on freeing his mind and stopping the thought process that makes him think the Society is correct in it's teachings. Asap.

I come here because I was so afraid that the bOrg was right, in that I'd be miserable and alone if I left them. I found that it wasn't true, "wordly" people are caring, loving and generally kind without asking for something in return* and I KEEP coming back despite having a lot of good friends and people to enjoy in life, because I enjoy people here too. I can tell by the tone of certain posts who they are, without looking at their avatar (often I am here on my phone, so I read almost everything, but can only post when I'm at my laptop at home). I count people here as my friends, and that can be dangerous, because I'm not sure anyone here would miss me if I abruptly stopped posting.....but I come back anyway. I enjoy a good couple handful of people here, and wish there were some that would post more often. Heck, I've even learned who to skim!! lol
*When I was a younger person, in school, I would like certain classmates, and think "Well surely Jehovah will spare THIS little girl, there is nothing wicked about HER" But I never connected the dots that there were SO MANY wordly people I enjoyed MORE than the witnesses, I just figured I had a defect.

(without reading any of the replies)
I used to desire everlasting life, because the one I was living was always about waiting to have fun, waiting to attain this or that goal....waiting to LIVE. Now that I know the trademarked JW Paradise Earth was just a ploy, I am glad that I won't be there.
I used to dread "working the earth" because I have a texture issue with my hands, handling wooden pencils, construction paper and things like glue on my hands or dried mud about make me FREAK. (had to pause to go apply lotion to my hands, spread my fingers out and have a talk with myself just now)
Now my fear is that as soon as my life dwindles down to an end, it will be the best it ever was, and I'll be miserable knowing it's almost over.
I do sometimes wonder if there is anything good after this life, and if I'll qualify...but not like the heartsick and stomach churning worry about making it through Armaggedon.

Do Witnesses serve Jehovah for a "Paradise" payday!!
by Witness 007 inyes go to meetings and field service otherwise no "payday" for you!
witnesses spend many hours serving jehovah because they will live forever in paradise on earth.....yes, they won't die like the rest of mankind.....so is this really why people serve god...for a final payday in the future?.

I would always hear that, you should serve Jah regardless...but I always felt like it was a lot of serving, for not a lot of payout...
The scripture "And MAYBE you'll be concealed in the day of his anger" always sounded like a lottery chance, and I never did like those odds. Of course I still kept up the requirements.

A vodka and grapefruit, just pushed back from the table after a fine meal, smiling across the table at my kids, husband, and friends that love me for who I truly am, not what I tried to be for 36 years. It's truly been the best last 9 months of so, despite the leaving, the losing, and the stress. I wouldn't go back and change it for a million dollars.
All that, and key kime pie.
