  this system is ending!!! why worry about the future....did anyone save for retirement??? what are your plans??? i didn't because god would take care of things...PLEASE!! i know,,how pathetic is that...CAN YOU SAY BRAIN DEAD!!! but i will be ok,,,,i have worldly family and i am going to move close to them....i am 56years old,,,so have some time left...

  i am really excited about my plans for the future...i just want to live a quiet life,,,be with family,,,and hopefully have just a few really close friends by that time...i would like to move into an apartment where rent is based on income....work as long as i can,,,,and enjoy simple things....at this point i am not inclined to be with anyone "special"....

  when you get into "senior" apartments,,,,there is alot of planned activities,,,social rooms,,,etc etc...so if you are lonesome or want company you will always have it....if you want quiet..you get that also...

  i know this sounds boring,,,but,,,i really want this....life has been a real nightmare....i cannot even began to put it into words...so,,,for me and my status this would be good....

  so,,,,what about you?????

  What is the reasoning of Israelites being allowed to have concubines?

  by EmptyInside in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  were they all foreign women?

  it seems to be contradictory too, because they weren't to have marriage alliances with other nations.

  but, i guess using the woman as a sex slave and baby making machine was okay.

  Don't buy anything at the meat market or yard sales or else you could turn out like me?

  i don't know how this happened and how they met, but a relative, a jw elder and my old po talked about us leaving the wts.

  (he said this to my wife).

  they reasoned, how could someone, who was a pioneer, bethelite, worked at the rbc, district and circuit level, taught at the pioneer school, helped dozens to baptism, suddenly and inexplicably, leave jehovah's organization?.

  you know whats worse than being alone?????........being with the wrong person

  you know whats worse than being with the wrong person????????......being involved with an organization that will make that wrong person feel like a saint to you....

  you know what being with the wrong person and being involved with the wrong organization equals+++ suicide

  one day at a time....it feels like forever....but eventually it will slowly get better....big hugs....

  If someone is benefitting from being in a cult, should we leave them there?

  by Confuzzled in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if scientology has narcanon, and it has gotten people off drugs (although that 85% sucess rate they say they have is suspect), and becoming a jw sorta forces you into line, would it make sense to leave someone in if they were helping them?

  if you knew somebody was a drunk, sex addict, drug addict, what have you, and they were studying, and it appeared that they were actually being helped (albeit by twisted means) would you leave them be?

  like, if uncle jim was a fall down drunk that ran around on his wife, then someone introduced him to the wts, and it all stopped, would you still try and expose the cult even if they were actually helping and it was working?.

  yes.....unless they give some sign that they need help someway....nobody can live another persons life....you cannot see or feel what they are actually going through.....leaving can cause extreme mental anguish....as we on this site can atain to...leaving for some could do more harm than good...its scarey.....
