a jw told me a while back as i was leaving - "you will never find friends in the world that are like those in the organiation".. i smiled to myself and thought "god, i hope not".

lol.

What a nice thing to say (even though they didn't know it) imagine friends that are your friends because they like you not because the borg tells them too

Jehovah's Witnesses are depressing

by wannabefree in

learning the truth about my faith as a jw (that it is wrong) actually has resulted in me having a more positive outlook on life, postive about today even though it has its problems.. but today, speaking with close jw friends (strong witnesses at that), i find myself hearing nothing but depressed thoughts.

when everything you talk about as a witness is how terrible the world is but soon (for over 100 years) the "new system" will be here ... just hang on ... is it any wonder so many jw's are on anti-depressants?.

it is depressing being surrounded by depressed people.. .

cantleave - i love the expression 'happiest people'. most dubs are maladjusted, social misfits, whom suffer from some form of depression

One Reason Why I Speak About Racism

if anyone cares or dares to read this, this is how it was when i was 13 years of age.. the gap in funding for black and white kids' education is still stunning to me 46 years later, but it's there in black and white.. it's a testament to our determination and fortitude that we acquired an education at all.. this, in the richest country on the planet!.

for your edification and, hopefully, understanding.. syl.

race is a volitile issue. african americans are justly angry about the treatment they have receieved. while people are generally annoyed because most of them are not racist and have had no part in the domination of a race of people. the point is whatever the culture or race there is generally a history of oppresion, man has dominated man for centuries. many of us here have not had an easy road and its belittleing to think that yours is harder just because of race.

What would it take for you to stop being a Jehovah's Witness?

by new light in

i would like to present this question to my believing family, one by one.

it seems to me to be a powerful thought.

provoker.

for every one person who actually listens to you, ten will ignore you or call you an apostate. but i feel those are still good numbers
