tuesday night, i drove to a couple of older sister's homes, and dropped off their magazines, and kindom ministries.

thursday night, i went to the meeting and cleaned and locked up the building.

i also dropped someone off who earlier recieved a ride to the hall but their ride couldn't come back to take them home.

((((((misery))))))

Not appeasing or even disappointing your family doesn't mean you don't love them. Sometimes we can't live up to our parents' expectations because we have our own; you're the one that has to live your life, it's not their's.

DanaBug

Yes! And they're coming to my town this month, tickets sold out so fast. I'm never gonna see them live.

Thanks for that info, TD. I know little about Mormons, but I have noticed how family oriented they are.

Anonymous attack on the Watchtower?

have you ever heard of anonymous?.

anonymous is an amorphos underground collective of internet activists - interactivists.

many of their activities are illegal, or at least reside in the grey area of legality.

DanaBug

Nikolas,

Do you think Anon could really do any damage to the WTBTS? I mean, they don't really rely on their website for much besides literature downloads. It would be cool though if perhaps the pdfs were replaced with the Jensen letters or documentation of the UN scandal or something like that.

Anxiety (the Blanket) Fear (the Root)

by Voices in

anxiety (like many others) is like a security blanket.

when i do meditation...the anxiety leaves, but this vulnerbility takes over, and this huge amount of fear developes.. .

when it comes to my relationship i am deeply insecure and affraid of abandonment.

DanaBug

Voices,

Maybe therapy would help you with the anxiety. I can relate iin a way. I'm an avoider. I'm petrified of reaching out to do anything I might succeed at, if that makes any sense. I think it's still in the back of my head that I'm supposed to fail out here. So I get stuck in this circle where I'm scared to do anything and then I fail because I put it off and so I feel more depressed because I'm a failure, which makes me not want to do anything about it again. Ugh. Yeah, I need therapy too.

As for your relationship, what I've seen is what you fear ends up happening simply because you expect it too. It comes out in how you talk to and treat her. No one likes to be doubted all the time. Do you really have a valid reason to think she might leave you besides just being scared of it? So again, I recommend therapy; someone you could talk to and work out the root cause and help you deal with it.

I suck at advice too, yet another reason to see a professional, lol! I hope you try it though, it helped my sister out a lot.

Lol @ publishing cult! I don't think it is.

Gayle, that's what I was thinking. I wonder how we could make that happen. I actually got this from the guy who's making "Losing My Religion". I wonder if he's thinking of doing something like this next. At the very least, maybe it would make non-JW people more aware of the dangers.

Hobbies

being a jw, especially if you work, there is no time for anything else really.

work, field service, meetings.

wash, rinse, repeat.

Moshe, great video. My fiance's dying to get into that too. And thrift stores are awesome for bikes. We found a couple 10 speeds from another county's police department for $10. Unfortunately, they're still too big for me. I need a girl's size.

School takes up most of my hobby time now, but I do a lot of reading, cooking, watching movies. I started making jewelry but got burnt out on it. I'm starting a worm farm soon to compost garbage and make fertilizer. I tried a garden last year but our soil's so poor we barely harvested anything. So I'm going to build some hanging gardens with milk jugs and make my own soil. I hope it works! I'm also trying to talk my fiance into building me a chicken coop. I do a lot of couponing too, guess I'd call that a hobby.
