Survey - How many in Medical Field??

by lydia in

jw
friends

just curiosity here... how many of us here are in the medical field?

i seem to find alot of us are or were at some point.

so i thought a survey would be in order.. also, if you are in a medical field - why did you choose it??.

I like Larc's question. Who are in the helping professions?

I am now in my third semester for social work. I always wanted to go to college and do this, but back then college was an absolute no-no. You "helped" people come into the "Truth" instead. So here I am at 53 pusuing my dream after having "drifted" away from the Society starting years ago. Took me three years to get over my fears of being a nontraditional student, but I did it, and I wouldn't change it for anything. It has been the best thing I could have done.

I wonder how many people who come into the WTBTS have the desire to help people, and that is why they are caught up in it? Saving peoples lost lives, for everlasting lives in the new system, could be a powerful motivation if you stongly beleive in it.

When I think back on it, many of the JW's who did have a career, or who volunteered before JWdom, did so in helping professions. Hmmmm.

Dmouse,
I don't agree with the subliminals myself, you can find them where you want. But the mind control is the thing that got me.

Marilyn,
I put an extra > at the end, that's a no-no, sorry. But I see that someone fixed it. Thanks, Cpiolo

Thirdson,
The Messiah? Hmm. Hadn't heard that one yet. Can you explain that further, please? Seriously. I would like to know. I never got that from reading his stuff. But, then again, I haven't read all his stuff. Could you point to some specifics for me? Thanks.

Hungry for life,
Just a typo in the spelling. I copy pasted the link so it was right except for the > at the end. My bad.

As Always,
Lindy

Tell Old School Friends That You've Left?

by Englishman in

jw
friends

some of the uk national newspapers have been referring to the web-site at http://friendsreunited.co.uk/, where thousands and thousands of brits have been getting back in touch with old school friends.. just out of curiosity i decided to take a peek.

well, i was stunned.

many long-forgotten class-mates had my mind leaping back to the early 60s, particularly when they mentioned the weird nicknames that we had given to our teachers.. the french master, froggy fleuriot, mousy mclaughlan with his rats teeth, bummer burrell well, i will leave that one to your imagination.

Lindy

I rectified it years ago when I went to a class reunion. I became involved in planning the next two. What a great group of people they are, and some are now friends. They always liked me in school anyway, but wondered why I couldn't do the things they did. I was such a wall-flower then to begin with. It was nice though, for me to tell them and get that out of the way, and for them to accept me so readily into their fold. We have shared some nice times since.

Ouija boards

by jolly_green_giant in

jw
friends

i'd like some feedback from any of you guys who've used ouija boards.

i havent tried yet myself but plan to sometime in the near future.

most people who i talked to that have used them said they've usually got negative feedback from the spirits.

Lindy

Rem,
I read "Carl Sagan's Demon Haunted World" and found it very interesting. It is a good read for any JW or ExJw. It sure clears up the demon stuff and a bunch of other things. Makes one think and helps you to become a critical thinker. Of course that is something that the Society fears the most, that JW's just might start to use their brains. No "independent thinking."

"Scene of the world is changing"

by Blackcat in

jw
friends

i recently had the pleasure of working on a house which also had a visit from the jw,s.. as i was working away, i had a "listening ear" or should i say i overheard bits of the conversation, the main sentence being from the male jdub...." the scene of the world is changing".

this was so comical as he repeated it around 5 times in 3 minutes!

!, now i can remember from the ministry school the term "repitition for emphasis" but this was getting soooo predictable.. my question is this a variation used by jw,s as an alternative to "the last days" term in which i used as a teenage jw ?

Lindy

I would guess that "the scene of the world is changing" is the new catch phrase instituted shortly after 9/11. I had a sister come to my door using it then and said that the message right now was "one of comfort" which she repeated along with the "scene of the world changing." Because of 9/11, it makes people question and it give the JWs a new foot in the door. Can't say the "end is near" no more so they have to come up with something. I quess this is it! LOL

How important is it to love someone in your life?

by Mindchild in

jw
friends

how important is it to have someone special in your life?.

when i was a regular pioneer, i was constantly hearing that i should put off getting involved with any romantic relationships because i would want to spend all my time with my new love, and i would give up serving as a pioneer.. after i left the borgs cuckoos nest, i still had to put off getting romantically involved in long-term relationships because of wanting to be a full time college student.

later in life, i put off involvement again because of career options.

Lindy

I have found that most people need others in their lives to some degree, but some don't need the one on one real close relationship. Depends on the individual and also depends on such factors as to how they were raised, whether other things in their lives are more important, and the time period in their lives. Things change and this needs might change too.
I guess you will know when it is the right time for this. You made choices to put this off. You make a choice to bring it forth to be a more important priority when you are ready to. You might be ready since you are now questioning it. Only you know. Trust yourself. You left the borg, so you know what is right for you.
