Education vs JW?

by galaxia_moon in

i am 15 years old and recently just doubting this whole religion that was introduced to me when i was very small from a very good family friend.

doubt obviously comes with shame and guilt and i hate those feelings because it feels like i'm betraying this whole organization that i grew up in.... anyways, i've been doing research and found that jehovah's witnesses dislike/shun kids who attend colleges & universities that are more than 4 years long?

have you heard of this?

LongHairGal---you couldn't be more correct, without that pension & Social Security, it will be a nightmare, how are you going to survive, depend on others all the time?...you need to plan when your young, get a degree if possible & work as much as you can, the more you put in, the more you will get back in the end...it's really important for your survival & when you're young, you think you have the time, but it catches up to you soon & you don't want to live out your retirement years camping in some back woods....

Apostasy Movie (For those who have forgotten)

by KW13 in

jw

this movie is out there now in the us and im guessing other territories and due to be released tomorrow in the uk in cinema and for streaming.

https://www.curzonartificialeye.com/apostasy/.

i didnt realise until recently the man behind it all shares a mutual friend with myself so im hoping to get to meet him because this film looks like it will do more for ex witnesses who need justification for moving on and for those who don't understand the religion, i think it teaches more than any documentary?.

justme

i watched it tonight, it was a true depiction of the JW lifestyle...here are the two sites that have it for free & it's really good quality if anyone is interested.

jw
friends

i think he is.

if you don’t want to put reasons for your yes or no, it’s ok. .

your vote,please?

justme

yes, i think he is doing a pretty good job getting things done,but he does come up with some funny stuff like the newest, a "space force" he wants as a 6th military branch--maybe Darth Vader will fund it...

God will not let you suffer more than you can bare.

by StephaneLaliberte in

i had a conversation with an old jw friend and he spent a good part of the evening preaching to me.

as i am “inactive”, i am forced to stay low, thus, i was not argumentative.

yet, at one moment, he said that angels protect jws in field service and other situations.

Smiddy3--yes it's true,i found the link to the story, it happened in 2001..i bet the father was still bitter over her death even though he tried to reason it spiritually...

Days of future passed--i remember that story in the magazine, the babies name was Oscar, i wondered about that too with the father praying for his daughter to be safe & she wasn't, that story always stuck with me, she was savagely killed as well, that was several years back, i wonder if the father & husband are still in at this point...sad story...

The little things that made you feel guilty as a JW?

by HereIgo in

watching rated r movies?

maybe a little gambling in vegas?

when i was in high school i went to the mall with my friend at the time, who happened to be a female.

justme

Wake me up--that was some story, i am sorry you were so hard on yourself, maybe him being happy was a front since he couldn't have you, he stayed because it was convenient & he just settled...

i felt guilty about many things myself.. one in particular was wanting to watch horror flicks...
