Ya tone it down Psychotic Parrott, we try not to attack people personaly. That was rude. You have a right to not believe in God and have your views but you will be shut down if you attack people directly like that, unprovoked.

life harder for you.
he is trying to break your integrity.

Yes I experienced something similar... Zoloft, working on my relationship with God and some really good friends helped me.

What Stupid Things Were You Counseled For?

You sound a lot like me Adrianoblue just a few years ago. I "played" with Heroin, X, Coke, Weed but it wasn't till I did meth that I really felt like an addict and probably said something very similiar to what you wrote more than once. With out being too preachy let me point out a couple of things that may or may not be obvious.
Addiction is a problem with how we view ourselves, our life, and the purpose of both of these. Let's be real it's not a disease and no one put a gun to our head and made us get the high the first or the last time.
We have an image problem, we get high it fixes that problem temporarily but creates a bigger one overall. Like pawing your stuff to go out an party. Sure feels great on Saturday night but then you got no stuff and you are broke again on Monday.
You also need to realize you probably got here by listening to what is call "negative self-talk" telling yourself you aren't good enough etc.... when you stop getting high your brain is still in the same mode it will poke and nag and look for cracks. Thats what sounds like is going on with the singleness issue.
What worked for me was learning how to release and forgive all the hurt I had in my past. Yes I had to actually be taught this as the JW's do not teach anything about forgiveness or processing the feelings and being human. I had to forgive the JW's, my family, my X-girlfriend etc... the weight of all that unforgiveness and pain was holding me down. As soon as I was able to let this all go, I was able to open my heart again and have real deep relationships again. If you really push yourself you'll find yourself making new friends that make you feel better about yourself. I would also recommend talking to your doctor about anti-depressants. They really can help get the juices balanced in the noggin again. 50mg of Zoloft does wonders for me. Some call it self esteem in a bottle. I now have a good job, great life, awesome girlfriend and decent relationship with my family. Not bad for a guy that was sucking on a glass pipe 5 years ago with no place to stay but a friends couch.
Please PM me anytime you want to talk.

do Jehovah witness teaches about grace and what it is?
by evangelist 1 ini would like to know does jhw teaches what grace is , and how to recieve grace without any works , merits and qualifications?.
what is saved grace to jhw?.
if we are saved in the name of jesus why do they have to do things like go witnessing , and etc to get god to accept them when grace has already made us righteous un jesus and not jehovah?.

No you will never hear the word "grace" from the platform. That is thought to be too "churchy"
