i wonder how many of us here hold on to this meeting place out of "loneliness.
could it be that we harbor feelings of "abandonment" and "loneliness" from being left cold and dry by the wt people and our families?
perhaps we do have a need to reach out to people with similar experiences.
I guess you can say people come here because of ''loneliness'' too. I find that this site offers huge morale support though, openness of mind comes to mind. To let go of all the ''immense doubts'' weighing down on you like a thousand elephants which are on your mind which you would never, ever let go amongst JW's.!!!!!
Talking to ''worldlies'', which I always found to be a ultra derogatory term, have no idea or clue what you're talking about when talking about your ''religious doubts''
d. trump or h. clinton and why.. i would vote for gun slinging trump..
comments have been made suggesting that records about child molesters within the watchtower society are held in congregation files indefinitely.

hi, i just joined the board and wanted to present myself.. i'm active, in fact very active in congregation activities serving "where the need is great" in a foreign language congregation somewhere in western europe.
as a young brother, i'm seen as an example as i'm doing all a good witness should do.. i had doubts years ago but i decided just to ignore them and move to another congregation to preach more.
that worked for some years but i'm now at the exact same point.
The Walker. I just want to add that if your desire to the leave the WTBS eventually, it takes time. Every situation is different if you wish to ''fade'' out of the Borg.
Try to stay under the radar, of sorts. Try to establish friends outside of the Borg. Avoid ''Shepparding Calls''. What I mean is when the doorbell rings, look through the peephole.
It takes time to sort all of your doubts/feelings out though. It takes time. Like others have said, ''take all the time you need''.
God Bless!!

i don't have all the details of their new "service year" numbers, but i have read enough on jwn to state my opinion pretty strongly.. memorial attendance for 2015 was down.while they kept saying they were going to build a bunch of new kingdom halls, and everybody is still in recovery from watchtower taking all the local money away, they say pretty much that there isn't enough money to build new kingdom halls.putting gb members on the videos at jw .
org has allowed people to really put a face and personality to these guys and remove the mystery of how they should be such deeply spiritual serious men.
instead they see silly thoughts about tight pants and, really everything that comes out of lett's mouth is delivered ultra-goofy, along with the money reports.. the gb lost credibility a little more with every new light that shone down, with the strangest one being "overlapping generation.
what is the monthly stipend that the bethelites receive every month?
does any one has an actual number?
my siblings and i have been talking about the money woes.
we have thrown around the idea for them to keep the preaching/pioneer arrangement to keep some busy.
to increase cash flow they can institute a new tithing arrangement.
