i’m relatively new to this forum but am far from new when it comes to living life as a jw.
i wanted to throw out there my own personal experience and feelings and welcome any conversations (i’m mighty chatty and don’t have much for friends when it comes to jw’s) .
i hit the turning of an era nearly a month ago of legally becoming an adult, raised as a j dub my whole life.
Hi Angel
Your parents love you and want the best for you. Like the Watchtower, they are simply using repetition in the hope that you will grow to doubt your doubts.Feel sorry for them, do all the research you want into the organization but i recommend keeping your doubts and disagreements to yourself. I know it is and will continue to be hard. I think it wise not to try reverse witnessing strategies on them to get them to change. "OK let me think about that" could be a common phrase in your vocabulary to ward off further discussion.
What you especially don't want is for your Mom to become frantic about your listening to satan and call in the elders to give you spiritual counseling which may lead to disfellowship.
Hang in there Gal and stay connected with this forum.
God bless
what a crazy dream, it was so cool....she came to me and told me she da'd from the cult.
i was so happy in my dream.
when i woke, it took me a few seconds to realize it was only a dream and that she is still brainwashed.

Let's hope your dream is prophetic.
my cousin has been in a medically induced coma for the last three weeks due to the coronavirus.
we just found out today that he was sent to rehab for physical therapy.
he is awake, cannot walk, and cannot talk due to damage to his vocal cords from being on a ventilator for three weeks.. my cousin has many religious friends who have posted ''get well soon'' messages on his facebook page.
Here is a short testimonial of a believer who was totally depressed while suffering from the virus.

Hi Justangel
Hope you have been welcomed to the forum on another thread. If not, welcome.
You clearly understand what it means to be living in a cult and coping.
You also are a caring person. You are concerned about your family and their reaction if and when they discover your true feelings. Hope you are covering your tracks well while visiting forums like this one.
Are you baptized? Is there a chance for you to further your education while still at home?
i was searching for something on the wt online library, and was struck by all the requirements a jw has in order to be "saved".. want to see a partial list?
all these found by searching for "salvation depends" on wol.
just do all 26 things, and you too can be saved!.
Biblically speaking, salvation/justification depends on knowing Father and Son.
It is the gift of God, so that no one can boast. Ro.6:23
Unfortunately, many may want to point to their wonderful works on that day, yet He will say; "I never knew you"

Count me as a skeptic
Nope
Wording similar to a Kingdom song book hymn perhaps?
i don't know if anybody here follows the 'goatlike personality' channel on youtube.
but he very recently did a very recent rebuttal of april 2020 jw broadcasting.
loved it.
this topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.
latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.
the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.
