  Newly fading and having morbid thoughts about dying....is that normal?!

  by 2pink in

  i have been having doubts for years about the org, but it's mostly been just the past couple of months that it's really all unravelled for me.

  i'm at that stage now where i don't know what i believe about anything...esp about what happens when you die.. and maybe it's just cause i never had to think about death before (was always countin' on that resurrection in paradise earth!

  ), but lately i can't stop thinking about it!

  Its not unheard of, but it might be a good idea to see a therapist. I've been having similar problems myself for quite sometime now, and even made a thread about it (though I focused mainly on my nightmares...).

  That movie does look cool, but I don't think I'm ready to see that movie either... Of course, it'll have the "scientific explanation" which just ruins the watching lots of things get smashed with awesome special effects...

  Still, kinda sad that that is the type of stuff the JWs look forward to stuff like that...

  People who want that make me

  Goshawk: I can honestly say that I AM a "youth" and I've never quite been that bad... And quite often, depending on who I'm talking to, I will answer honestly about things like that.

  Heres one: If we as a family are given the cold shoulder by many of the other families in the congregation, and I'm not allowed to make friends at school, where in the world am I supposed to find friends? (That one bothered me a bunch when I was younger).

  Your space: creative mess or tidy idleness?

  greetings savers and tossers and messers and tidiers:.

  do you get to your projects whatever the state of your work area or do you have to prepare unduly to get everything just right?

  sort of like a writer unwittingly puts off his paper by spending the morning sharpening pencils .... et tu?.

  Everything About Being An Elder is Weird (my misc rambling memories of being an elder)

  by AllTimeJeff in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for any brother who is a jehovah's witness, the goal is put before them to reach out for the privilege of being an elder.

  i can only speak for myself, but being born into the religion, i wanted to be an elder since i was 5. i would have much rather wanted to be a doctor or engineer, but those are the breaks..... i'll skip the part about what it takes to reach out, all the crap you have to put up with as a ministerial servant to get appointed, and go straight to the reality.. i know many elders who sincerely just wanted to be shepherds.

  i did want the spotlight.

  just remember a few crazy gb rants- the topic on no smooching during the prayer got me to remembering a few:.

  losch- morning worship- roommates should pray together (inferred kneeling on the floor together).

  losch- morning worship- women have a natural craving for men that has to be managed and controlled by men.

  I went to Bethel about a year before Carey Barber died. He was surrounded by all these women he was hugging and kissing (on the cheeks, of course. LoL) and getting pictures with. I seem to remember our tour guide saying something about how he "liked the ladies".
