  Nervous / shy following judicial committee

  by ekruks in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i wondered if anyone else has been rather shy since a judicial committee?.

  i have been before more than one on false charges, and since have really struggled not to get incredibly nervous if i have any similar meeting with people, such as a review at work, a job interview, even a visit to the doctors.

  i get so uncomfortable, i forget what i planned to say, want to leave, often vomit before such a meeting, forget how to speak up clearly, can't remember my phone number, etc.

  Advice please - How dating works in world?

  2. relationships

  looking for your advice.

  i was born in 'the truth', homeschooled, washed windows for work, etc.. im rather ignorant of how the whole dating thing works.. .

  i'm sure i'm not the only person on here who grew up 'in the truth' and is/was a virgin in their late 20s, never been to a nightclub, etc., while everyone around them has a family/kids.

  JWs say it's my fault I didn't go to university ?!

  like many on here, as a jw trying hard to follow the direction of the gb, i listened to the advice to pioneer and trust in jehovah to provide (mat6.33) instead of going to university.

  after struggling for ages in low-paid physically-demanding jobs, i decided to become a student (thanks for the encouragement on here guys!).

  i tell a jw i wish i had been to university when i was a teenager, and put all that pioneer time into studying hard for a good grade, get a good job, and if i had wound up tired as i am now, at least i would have been paying into a mortgage on a home and pension.

  Can't get work after pioneering

  by ekruks in

  i was just wondering if anyone else has been in a similar situation and can advise me?.

  like many here, i was bought up as a jw, with full-time service (bethel, pioneer) the only career option held out in front of me.

  i wanted to take a government loan and go to university, but was forced not to, labelled 'materialistic'.. i became a pioneer / window cleaner - round here, almost all pioneer brothers window clean, unless they are retired or have a rich daddy.

  Running a JW website without getting sued

  by ekruks in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hi guys, i want to setup a unique ex-jw/cult site, and i am wondering how you run this site without getting sued?

  last thing i want is to have the stress of a court case that the jw volunteer-lawyers likely will win.

  i'd like to keep a rather low profile.

  WRM: Watchtower Resistance Movement

  by ekruks in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when france was invaded by the nazis, they established what was called the french resistance, which attacked the nazis.

  the cause was to fight evil, so it was called a guerilla movement.

  in each town, rebels would meet together secretly and sabotage the nazis, doing things such as blowing up railway lines, though they didn't attack civilians who were oppressed.. i don't see for us to fight the individuals in the organisation, because many of them are just misled, confused, brainwashed.

  I am thinking of writing a book. Would you read it?

  i had a nervous breakdown, growing up in a very strict, abusive religious community that you know of.. .

  living throughout the world in modern 21st-century cities, we strongly believe the end of the world is nigh due to moral decline, and thoroughly follow a moral code which i respect, seeing drugs etc.

  do harm people.
