  Outlaw, funny, a wee bit insensitive.

  F&C if you had the chat see how it goes from there. However, keep in mind what OutLaw has said.

  this has been tough.

  very tough actually.

  because i'm so integrated into things including certain tasks which i can't say as it would be a dead giveaway i find myself constantly bombarded by things.. i'm literally a lying every day.

  "It make's want to be evil back at times."

  You couldn't have worded it better, they push & push & push until in the end you are left with no choice but to be rude in order to protect yourself. Then they turn it around on you. Hang on in there I bet your doing a lot better than you think.

  Hello F&C, it's good to have you join us. You don't need any-one to advise you what to do, your own instincts already let you know didn't they. Go with your gut.

  You don't understand, they were protecting the rolling stones from their adoring fans. Get back people, we are the Religious Riot Police.

  so my hubby has been on a bit of a roll about the jdubs, we were talking a lot about them & he said the buzz word he hate's the most is "worldly" why?

  because he say's "with that one word they have condemned (according to their believes) a person as being worthy of nothing but death.

  ".

  HOURS & TIME

  How many hours did you do? I gotta get my hours in. Can you do more hours? Have you reported your hours this month?

  What are you doing with your time? Are you spending to much time on re-creation/T.V/friends/etc. Can you spend more time in the service?

  No wonder people think we are nuts.We may as well be speaking Latin.

  Chronic relapse - what do I do?

  by wayoutthere in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my first post here and unfortunately it is asking for help.. i was a born in jehovah's witness and from my earliest memories, i know i hated being one.

  i hated the embarrassment of being the "outsider" at school and i hated not being allowed to have any friends.

  of course i had the obligatory friends in the kingdom hall - none of whom were my age exactly and none of whom i would have personally chosen to be friends with if i had been left to pick them myself in a natural setting.

  Wayoutthere, it sounds like you are suffering with anxiety, which is perfectly normal for a person who has had your upbringing. You will quite often hear adults say that kid's are so resilient. Well that isn't true. If their emotions are not listened to & ignored they sink in to the stomach & some times are triggered or reactivated in later life. As I said before this is a normal response. What is important now is that you don't ignore it. Go get some help. Psychologist is good as they will help you to understand yourself & find ways that you can work through/overcome this obstacle. They will not judge you & neither will we on this forum. It isn't you, o.k. you are not irrational, believe me. Big Hug.

  Actions speak louder than words

  gday to you all.

  i have had a thought i would like to share with you.

  i cannot remember who it was, but i believe it has been mentioned (maybe paul grundy) that if you wish to null & void your baptism because you were so young when it took place that the wtbts will not allow it if you have been participating in the believes & practises of the religion when you were older & able to make a decision of your own free will.

  GDay to you all. I have had a thought I would like to share with you. I cannot remember who it was, but I believe it has been mentioned (maybe Paul Grundy) that if you wish to null & void your baptism because you were so young when it took place that the WTBTS will not allow it if you have been participating in the believes & practises of the religion when you were older & able to make a decision of your own free will. So it is your actions of participation that speak NOT your words, according to WT, yes.

  That being the case I would like to state, that all those participating in WTBTS activities today, e.g. attending the K Hall/field ministry/donations/memorial/etc. Are in fact by their ACTIONS showing support to an organisation that protects Child Molesters. They are showing by their ACTIONS that they approve of the October 2012 policies as set out by the GB . Lets face facts here, with the RAC & all the other info that is now available, ignorance is inexcusable. They are showing approval of No-Blood policies/Shunning policies, & every other bad policy that WT has set up in the name of Jehovah & Jesus Christ.

  If Actions speak Louder than Words, it must apply both ways, this is an undeniable truth is it not?
