hello, i am new to this site and it is comforting to know that i am not the only one that has problem with wts.
i'm 36 and single parent with 8 year old son.
i work full time from 8am to 5pm in order to support both of us.
Aww man, wish I could put up a fancy picture to try to commend you to go on. I really really really wish you the best, and as you know, we are all here to help you along the way. I barely joined too, and trust me, you will not find a more suportive, loving community such as this. I really mean it, these guys on this forum, they're SUPER AWESOME.
Welcome!!! Sending you lotsa lotsa love!!!
i only ever drank while i was still attending meetings.
but i seriously considered trying lsd or shrooms.
i came really close to trying shrooms once with my friend but we never got around to calling someone to sell us some.
Lol uh well, I did happen to hold some stuff for a few friends (baptized JW girls by the way :D), but drugs have never appealed to me. Basically, it comes down to the fact that from a terrible bout of depression, I was prescribed medication for it, and the side effects were terrible. In the span of a couple years, I tried A LOT of different brands. I know it's not the same but hear me out. I drank around four times, and those four times were the worst experiences of my life. I'm pretty sure the medication I had taken had screwed up my chemically imbalanced brain, and so, alcohol= baaaaaad trip. Therefor, I assume taking pot or other stuff would not be pretty for me.
I don't judge people who do smoke pot, here in LA it's the kids who don't that get weird looks. Just don't smoke near me :p.
it was a beautiful, sunny day.
i was in the supermarket doing an early morning shop when i see an old friend of the family, a jw sister.. she asked me if i'd gone to the memorial and i told her no.
she said that the end is so close what with all the earthquakes and brother truthseeker, you need to come back to jehovah otherwise you will die and so will your children.
Whoa. That blows so much (I speak like a teenager blaaaah :p). But I truly feel for you. Like someone mentioned up above, that's emotional blackmail. When nothing else gets to you, they spew out this drivel like it's something sane people say at a supermarket. Sheesh. BUt you gotta feel for them too. They really do believe all these atrocities will happen, and it sounds like she cares for you. In her misguided way, of course.
my husband and i bought a house recently aand apparently our new house is smack in the middle of a diligent congregations territory.
they've been in our neigborhood twice a week since we moved in a month ago.
there are a lot of guard dogs in our neigborhood (yeah, i live in the hawaiian guetto) and they all go nuts when the witnesses are walking by.
finding my way- Vent away!!! I love venting posts, no one judges you!!!
And the dog guard thing sounds scary :o I hope they're friendly to you though!
judgment day.
the end of the world is almost here!.
holy god will bring judgment day on.
Well, just in case it happens I will happily feast (re: pig out) with In n Out Animal Style burgers!!!
And a shake. I must go the whole nine yards! After all, it's the end of the woooooorld!
And if I wake up the next morning bloated and slightly lazy, well, at least I survived the so called armageddon AND I had In N Out!!!
i had to actully go talk to people.
lucky for me i wasn't at a meeting.. .
Occult? Whoa. And I thought being called 'apostates' was the worst thing we could be!!!
Now we can add the dark magics!!
i did.
still not finished with a degree yet but i'll get there.. how about you?.
Gah, so frustrating to hear so many of us missing out on it, huh? I did, though I am back, and I'm only 20 so I didn't loose much, but I had actually been accepted at West Point(high test scores and aptitude tests), and I wanted to go buuuuut I was 16 and actually believed in their lies.
Never again.
And goodluck to you all wise older people who are going back! That's pretty awesome that age wasn't a deterrent (as it shouldn't be!). Glad to hear you guys are trying to progress!!!
any person or situation ?.
The people. I've been given the whole you shouldn't get out because of a few unruly brothers, but mom, it was a little more than a few.
funny how things work.
i had just posted a sarcastic question on pc's thread about last nights call with the six screens folks when the door bell rang.
it was a jw lady and she was by herself.
Whoa, OP, that 'oh well' makes me feel weird inside. So that's it? Oh well? Wow.
moshe- You have guts sir, to follow her like that. And a sad tale too. Some people, no matter, want to blindly believe in whatever they want. Sad stuff.
is there something that most people do that you never do .
sex?.
drink alcohol?.
No twitter, no masturbation (it icks me out dude, like I have issues probably-_-), aaaaaand no drugs!
