How do we learn to really trust?

by Sirona in

jw
friends

having been betrayed by the jehovahs witnesses - both the organisation and the individuals who now shun us - how do we learn to trust again?.

i ask this because i have realised that i dont trust anyone.

it goes beyond a healthy mistrust of strangers...it affects my closest relationships.

Nicolas

Yes, I have this problem too and it's really problematic when I want to have new friends. Sometime, they understand my feeling and they can be good friends but sometime, they use it to manipulate me and I really don't like it. I thing that you should do something to increase your self-esteem. It would be good to change your way of thinking too. When you fill your mind with negative thoughts about you, you can't have a good relationship with yourself and the others. This is some advice who worked for me but, since everyone is different, it may not work with you. You should do your own research on the Internet, I'm sure you'll find some informations that will work for you. The help of a professionnal would be good too.

The social club of JW

by beroea in

here in the west/central/north part of europe jw have facing general declining in bout number of publishers and baptises during the last 10 years or so.

a lot of congregations are down to 40-50 persons (with 100-150 sitting places) and the publics service are without any kind of result.

if someone gets a bible study with someone new this person is close to brain-dead.

Nicolas

I find it interesting that you point out this kind of social club that the jw organize. Here in Quebec, it is pretty much the samething, while I was a jw, we had a lot of activities together (skating during the winter, baseball in the summer) and the life of the youngs jw was almost like the life of a normal person despite the party with beer and the holiday like Christmas. However, I was always told to not associate with the big bad worldly peoples and that's why the ex-jw find it hard to have a new life whitout the WBTS because they are rejected in a world that is supposed to be evil and bad.

Open Letter To The Governing Body

by Outaservice in

dear brothers,.

i've been under the opinion that we jehovah's witnesses are famous for preaching this good news of the kingdom.

after all, matthew 24:14 is our scripture and every cover of the watchtower says 'announcing jehovah's kingdom'.. i decided to take a survey to prove this point.

Nicolas

Well, you can begin by telling them what really happened in 1975 when the end was supposed to come and then, you can tell them the whole story about the association of the WBTS with the UN. Finally, if you want, you can tell them that this religion has broke many families and they continue to do it.

MICROSOFT and the WT

bill gates has a new title "evil slave", .

or new light will make him look like the wild beast?.

i mean he invented windows 95 and the explorer browser (most likely the one you are using righ now).

Nicolas

Ha ha ha, this type of calculation with ascii is really funny. I heard another one like this: take the word WINDOWS95 and convert it in ascii and you get 666. I tried it and finally, it was 665 instead of 666... W=87 + I=73 + N=78 + D=68 + O=79 + W=87 + S=85 + 9=57 + 5=53 == 665

Making our own underground news / media

by Celtic in

jw
friends

is there any way in which anyone of us could organise our own amatuer media outfit, to seek interviews with the wt hq's.

the teams could be made up of one interviewer, one camerawo/man and another to keep exact notes of the proceedings.. with broadband width now having been introduced, how can we avail these resources to our advantage in manipulation of media interest upon the wt, how can we create stories for ourselves, without deviating from the truth of our objectives?.

are there any more quite radical action risk takers within the community here?.

Nicolas

I don't think that it's a good idea. It would help to fulfill the prophecies of the WatchTower because they always told that they would be persecuted and then, the end would come. We can help the members of the org to go out but it wouldn't be a good idea to attack the organization itself. It would be too much energy spend for no big result. This is my opinion.

ok.....any response will do, but if you're going to post a funny one, please also type your real thoughts along with it.. as for me, i'm pretty wild, but stable.

i never mention or show my fears; especially if my wife is around.

i can't bear to make her nervous.. ashi

Nicolas

I won't say that I'm seriously mentally ill but I would be like that if I didn't have the help of a professionnal to help me to cope with my problem. Also, I found out that I may have diabete, I still don't know if it's true but I'll have to pass some tests to find out the truth.

Personnally, I still find it hard to have a "normal" life. How can you call it normal when some members of your family shun you? It's great to see that you are completly free from any religion but sometime this freedom can be fearful. I'm doing my possible to have a normal life and I want to get the most of what the life can give me. I want to live and have fun.
