  Facebook condemned

  by straightshooter in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my wife told me that at the last meeting, the elders announced that youngsters going to the skateboarding park were no longer to have any privileges in the congregation.

  this is to prevent jw youngs to be rounded up if a drug raid was made at the skateboarding park.. also because of individuals requesting that they be friends on facebook that contain bad pictures, that anyone with a facebook account will automatically have their privileges removed.. sounds like the pharasees protecting the people by adding additional traditions upon them.. .

  what are the ones that sound like fingernails on the blackboard, the ones that make you want to pull the gun out from under the seat and shoot the radio in your car?.

  a few of mine:.

  I'm a facebook fanatic...I don't see anything wrong with shooting her an email via Facebook. I would say something like, "hey ______, I do not plan on contacting you again since I respect your parents wishes. So just this one time only, I want you to know that I've always cared and thought about you. You are such a bright young lady, and you deserve the best. Take care, Niece"

  ...and also, there is a huge difference with your family forbidding you to contact them, and starting a courtcase or lawsuit or restraining order. I don't know your family, so maybe they would do that. If not, I really think sending an email like the one I paraphrased will be okay

  Christmas or Christ's Mass – which will you be celebrating?

  by eyeslice in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  neither.. i have no affinity at all to the commercial christmas.

  i do, however, think that the religious celebration is not as wicked as the society has made out.

  ok, it maybe at the wrong time of the year but it is clear that the birth of christ was something to celebrate at the time and is still worth remembering today.. .

  I'm celebrating Xmas, not CHRISTmas. I love the tree decorated, the sweet smell of the pine needles, the cookies baking,family and friends who know the meaning of unconditional love. That's how my first Xmas was about ten years ago. Because of certain circumstances, I've had to skip it various years, but this year its all about love and acceptance (and hoping the elders dont pop by unannounced).

  Since Leaving The "Truth" Is Your Life Better?

  by minimus in

  you are told that if you "go back to the vomit" of the world, you will be miserable.. is your life better or worse since you've removed yourself from the organization's hold?.

  I would say I'm happier. While a jw, I felt tired and anxious and guilty and depressed all the time with no clue why. Since leaving/fading, I am only left with the anxiety part because I've still got close jw family and their kingdom hall is literally 1 minute away from my business (which I own). I have an xmas tree in the house but feel anxious that the elders are going to stop by unannounced, which they tend to do...my spouse is recently faded so they feel he still has hope. Once we speak with the families about our true feelings, I think the anxiety will be much less. Disassociating also pops into my mind daily so that I will never fear having the elders stop by.

  I don't feel guilty anymore. I am happy to smile at another table in a resturant when they are surround by the birthday singing staff. I feel more balanced as well.

  I made a mistake when I first did the gravatar thing by entering the wrong email address as well. So I went back to the gravatar account with the wrong address and chose to "add another email" to the account...then I chose my picture for that account as well. i hope this helps
