  Tough Day & wanting to escape

  by Olivia Wilde in

  1. social
  2. family

  so today after my workout at the gym, i was driving away from the parking lot, notice 2 witnesses on the sidewalk with their witness cart, one older man with a young female, related?

  not sure but as i drove away it finally hit me, all this buildup & staying strong since my awakening finally hit me .... just crying & saw my life flashing before my eyes just couldn't keep myself strong anymore, especially thinking of my child & other things happening in my life currently, which are hitting reality...... i came home & had a conversation with my son about our weekly mtgs, we have missed the ms mtgs for a few times/days in a row now, does anyone check on us?

  ... anyway i finally told him that for the time being mommy needs to figure out some things with god & jesus first & for the time being won't be making the ms mtgs & will be doing our bible study at home... thankfully he understands & just told him that god understands how i feel & is ok with it.... it's difficult to feel alone in this, i feel broken with the other things happening in my life, not wt or jw related, & just want to escape & run away, i don't have many friends & my non jw family is not a close family, we were never close, & i feel like i don't have anyone to talk to.... people that know me & interact with me have no clue the turmoil i'm going thru inside, i pretend like nothing is wrong with my life .

  i just heard this a few minutes ago by a jw friend who is still an elder in my old hall.

  the kingdom hall i used to attend and my mom still attends was paid off many years ago and serves about 6 congregations.

  one of the english congregations has a lot of financially well of members.

  Omg sooo disgusting they did that, I would refuse to send the money & give it back to the ones who donated it...does anybody know what's the per publisher per mtg now $$?... the elders & Ms are the ones to makeup the deficit? Is this common practice?

  @villageidoit, nothing against amazon just wanted to get the book where the proceeds go to a cause that's good not just making money off it... for example, when franz & wife a live if u would get it from the commentary press the proceeds would go to them which I totally support, since their departure not sure who took over & just wanted to support for someone who needs the proceeds, just want to do what's right in my heart & mind

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  which parts of the publications are the innacurate words of 'just imperfect men', and which parts are the inerrant words from the mouthpiece of jehovah on earth?.

  how can you trust that you are being given correct information?

  Did an EX-JW wake you up to TTATT or did you put the effort to wake up yourself?

  by John Aquila in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  how many of us were woken up by some apostate yelling false prophets at a convention?.

  how many of us were woken up by someone holding a sign and yelling, what happened to 1975.

  how many of us were coerced to investigate the wt because some ex-jw pulled up a bunch of old watchtowers magazines and told us to read the false predictions?.

  It was myself alone because of being falsely accused by someone in the congregation, the way elders did not handle this situation properly years ago & being slandered by this person which they knew she was lying & did nothing.... that in itself made me question they don't have God's spirit & i believe because that family donates alot of money to the KH fund... i saw JW trending in yahoo & decided to click on it, i didn't want to be blind anymore, it was the Royal Commission in Australia. ..found this forum & everything happened from there

  John Aquila: I believe we all can relate in going thru hell in different ways once we found out... but soo true once the clouds cleared up we we can see the more clearly...I feel the same way too, I don't think I'm an expert either because they have to be ready for it... something has to impact them personally to be open to TTATT

  I agree with John Aquila too there are many who don't qualify but definitely children do... little by little i have been reasoning with my child about it... recently he was talking abt a girl he likes in school & asked me "mommy does she have to be a JW"& i said " bebé do you think it matters to God that she isn't a JW or that she believes In Him & in Jesus?" Of course he responded the latter, kids are smart they are just used to a routine & need to fill the void with other Activities like sports, etc
