Can't sleep... Feel so alone!

sorry, i am just feeling alone and needed to vent..... i hate the fact that i allow jws to control me for so long and now i have no friends!

i mean, i do have a few, but at moments like this when my head is spinning like a thousand miles per hour, there is noone i can call and trust and talk to.... my friends all have their lives, and the few that i can call, i am afraid to do so... again, i know i said this before, but jw ruined my social skills... .

i want to scream!!!

Would the world be a better place without any religion?
by ThomasCovenant in
1. jw

i like to think so.. although much good can come from religious belief, i feel that the bad out weighs the good.

and therefore i would rather see it all gone.. if tomorrow, all people with any belief in any religion were removed from earth to meet their maker in the afterlife they so much want, it may be for the best.. how much better atheists would get on would be interesting to see.

shirley atheists couldn't make a worse job than religionists have..

Were there 2 witnesses when you were DFd?

of the some 70,000 disfellowshippings each year (some 1% of the membership) most were for sexual misconduct.

of these, i think i'm safe to say that very few were witnessed by a third party.

that means that both participants had to voluntarily confess in order to satisfy their 2-witness rule.. know of any that didn't meet this rule?.

JWmatch dating site
by sspo in
1. social
2. relationships
after my divorce four years and still attending the meetings i joined jwmatch.com as a non-paying member, eventually.

after i stopped going to meetings i wrote on my profile that i was inactive and after four years i have 63 "fans"...... sisters.

interested in me, from all over the world, as young as 29 and very pretty.. it looks like the sisters are so desperate for a mate that they would be interested in almost a 58 year old man.. very sad that many will stay single and will never have a chance to find love.. anyone interested in meeting them?
