Still Feeling Lost...What to Do Next?

by daringhart13 in

i'm wondering how many of you still feeling a burning need to know god and have a relationship with him.. i am dealing with the horrible emotions of having faded, done some things that would be considered immoral, stopped praying (not sure i ever prayed right) and generally just feeling lost...... what have some of you done to get back on track?

i've been fading for a year and a half.

missing my first dc..... ugh.....having a crappy morning i guess...... just feel like i want to talk to god, but can't.. ironic, huh?

I want to thank everyone........very, very much. Having a bad weekend.......and it really lifts my spirits to see so many people willing to encourage me.

djeggnog......I appreciate your motive. In the true spirit of Christ, I'm going to see that you truly believe you're doing a kind thing....and appreciate that you would take the time to do it..... However my dear friend, your have been fooled. I was too......and gave my soul to the organization. Trust me.....I was all the way in........ please examine what clearly is in conflict with God's Word.

To each of the GREAT, fun, people here......I really appreciate your love right now. I'm going to go back and reread each post.....look up the scriptures....... I feel like Elijah after the test on Mt. Carmel......I know whats right..... but now I'm just running around in the wilderness.

Ironic, huh? I was the elder always giving the talks that made people cry.....look past their sins and seek Him. I can't even fix myself these days...... weird.

Newly Exiting JW's ( Last 5 years ) How are you Doing in Life? Let Us Know

by flipper in

jw
friends

considering the fact we've had so many newbies here i thought it would be good to just open it up to you folks to see how life is going for you since you exited the witnesses ?

it's hard many times to move on- however with lots of ex-witnesses on the board here who have been through similar experiences - perhaps those of us who have been out awhile can give you someideas on how to move on in your post jw life to make it a little easier .

so fire away newbies and recently exited jw 's.

daringhart13

Struggling. I guess more with just being lost spiritually. I've had to cut people off due to MY stand...... they just don't get it. Servants calling up to complain about how 'weird' JW's are......that hand holding at meetings counsel got more play than the Generations did.....

I'm lost because I'm 42, no education, ...... having trouble adjusting to what to do next. I still have friends that are JW's, but I've mostly cut everyone off......

I feel like I'm going through the motions and sort of wandering.

Reality or a dream?

by IMHO in

"in a relationship i want to be adored and worshiped.

i want to be the only woman in existence for my man.

".

daringhart13

I guess it depends on your personality.

I do treat any woman I'm in a relationship with like that.

So, you blew your chance to go to college because of JWs? Don't give up!

by cabasilas in

i got the jw "bug" as a teenager.

witnesses called at our door when i was nearly 11. my parents are deaf and i was the oldest hearing child, the default interpreter for them in that era before relay services and professional interpreters.

they had no interest in jws, but it started to spark an interest in me.

daringhart13

Wow.

This post was VERY timely for me. At 42, I AM BITTER AND ANGRY.......I gave it all to 'elderhood'......and now: no education.

THANK YOU.......I'm going to get off my butt

Why did you leave the 'Organization'?

jw
friends

in a few words.....

daringhart13

Jesus gave exactly ONE sign of those that were his TRUE followers: "the love they have among themselves" John 13:34,35

Been to a KH lately?

There is no love. Just lying, backbiting, control and slander........... and thats just the elders.

I walked. Never going back.

District Conventions: The Single People/Wanna Be Married Opportunity

by mentallyfree31 in

as the conventions started today in my home state, i can't help but think of the hundreds of jw young people that i know who are still single, esp those over 25. it's really sad that for so many this is their only chance of finding somebody to date.

some that i know have even crossed over into their 30's, and they go year after year, always talking about the possibility of meeting someone special.. the organization literally controls their minds, and dating and marriage to a non-jw is out of the question.

it's so sad that so many have missed out on their life's dreams of having a family and companionship.

LOL....this BANE guy is hilarious.

Bane, Bane, Bane......don't even attempt to compare your wife to the women here. The majority of witness girls are complete trainwrecks due to being taught to be entitled, look for a guy with a 'title', not take care of themselves and no education.

I've never seen so much cheating by married women as I saw as a long time elder in the "Truth".......if they weren't cheating, they were laughing at their husbands for actually wanting sex.

You're delusional.

As for being single in the Truth.....its a private hell for both genders. Its particularly hard on those good sisters who would like to meet a normal 'brother'....... good luck......most of these guys would rather be playing video games in their underwear or go to the other extreme by being overbearing drill sargents.

Being single in the organization is a private death sentence.

Will The Governing Body Enforce the New Generation Understanding and Muzzle Open Criticism Among the Rank and File?

by frankiespeakin in

to keep every jw on the same page about the new light on extending the generation to mammoth's lengths of time the gb will no doubt be squashing any open criticism,, even the old cronies at bethel will looking differently at the gb when that starts happening.

even the most hardcore believer will be looking at the governing body in a "new light".

daringhart13

I agree with Blondie.

Most have NEVER understood the 'doctrine' to begin with.

I sat with an anointed brother and talked 'generation' for hours last weekend. He didn't even understand it.....oh, and he is part of the 'faithful and discreet slave' that is supposed to be feeding people like me.

The majority just show up at the Kingdom Hall, never learn anything, never study and are never able to explain why they are Jehovah's Witnesses.

For someone that put their heart and soul into the faith....its really painful to learn that most never listen to the talks, study or ever consider anything deeper than ".......well, the Society said it"

This will blow over. Why? Because none of them ever stop to consider TRUTH......
