  First Post - Emotionally Torn

  i haven't been on here long but i found this site a couple days ago and quickly realised it had a lot of posts by people going through similar experiences as me.

  i read some of the answers and it helped relieve some inner anguish i've been carrying since everything i came clean to my parents about everything i've been reading about.. .

  i just have been going through a rough patch right now; that might be an under or overstatement depending on your own personal experiences with this kind of stuff.

  Dude.............choose your life. If you are studying biology you will quickly find that the story of Genesis is a myth at best. Everything else is window dressing. Props to you for not wanting to disappoint those close to you. That shows that you have a heart and love and care. However, the life of a JW denies all freedom of thought. It denies self esteem. It negates personal responsibility. It seems from your post that you are just beginning your life. If you desire to have a family of your own, ask yourself, do I want to raise my children with this level of misanthropy and guilt?

  Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life...............

  Forget the Pina and the Colada. Just drink Rum. My fondest memory is a drunken nap on Fajardo Beach in PR. A bottle of Bruzcal by my side.

  Happy Birthday and many more!

  been lurking for a while on here and thought i'd jump in.

  a great deal of many thoughtful posts on here but have to say am a bit turned off with the 'rabid apostate' ones!.

  my history- was raised in a divided household, mum converted to jw when pregnant with me back in 1970, dad was never jw but was supportive of taking us to meetings, assemblies etc.

  The fact that it's been so long since you've been active added to the fact that you still feel a need to attend even if only for the memorial is a testimony to the hold that this religion has on peoples freedom of thought. Any organization that is as manipulative and controlling is evil to the core.

  Welcome..........................and may you find healing.

  i think i read somewhere, here or maybe on another forum, that somebody claimed that c.t.

  russell stood on the brooklyn bridge with some others, all in white robes, in 1878, waiting for the rapture.

  any truth in that?.

  New Hall Funding Arrangement

  by thedog1 in

  well our local needs part on this went very uneventfully.

  the brother read it out in such a way that the main thrust was the new arrangement with only two donation boxes in the hall.

  then, almost as an afterthought to the proposed resolution to send exactly what we used to send as the loan repayment, he casually mentioned that we would no longer be paying a loan.

  What if people, being people, decide that their cash should go elsewhere? The society is setting themselves up for holding the paper on worthless loans. Ya gotta love the stupidity.

  Angry Health Care Rant

  for those of you who live in truly first world countries (uk, australia, canada, etc etc) you can skip this.

  for those of us stuck in the usa, not a first world country at all, please feel free to read on.. i've done my best to be fiscally responsible my whole life.

  i bought my first house at age 25. and because of having a little loot to protect and not wanting to end up in some overcrowded emergency room waiting hours to be seen by doogie howser, i purchased health insurance.

  Wide awake: Yes you are paying more but it's for better coverage. Under the ACA you have at least one free physical per year. You also can't be denied coverage for pre existing conditions. If you care about your children, they are also provided exended coverage until age 26 under the ACA.

  Jgnat: Love the video. It touches on every reason why we in the USA are screwed. I'm glad that someone from Finland with deep pockets can come to the US for untested, unrealistic procedures. Why do I need to pay for it?

  Nonjwspouse: The IRS is NOT in charge of healthcare. Stop watching FOX news.

  I've done my best to be fiscally responsible my whole life. I bought my first house at age 25. And because of having a little loot to protect and not wanting to end up in some overcrowded emergency room waiting hours to be seen by Doogie Howser, I purchased health insurance. My lovely wife had our first child, covered by insurance. I had two separate life altering stays in the hospital before I was 30. Again, covered. Back when I first purchased health coverage it was a few hundred a month. Comparatively affordable.

  Until the Afordable Care Act, if you were self employed you were screwed by the insurance companies. It was a litlle better if you worked for a large company that provided a policy for its employees. The reason that fiscally responsible people were paying through the nose was to cover those that could not or would not pay for their own health care needs. Fast forward to the year 2012. My individual premium for health insurance rose to, wait for it,.....................2300 a month! I make a good buck but even I saw the need for a sea-change. Thankfully, the kids are mostly out of the house and Mrs Ctrwtf was ready to get back into the working world. Now because of her, we have pretty great health insurance.

  That's the back story. Now the reason for my rant is that a-hole Republicans still are fuming about so-called Obamacare. I find it ironic that the party that touts personal responsibility doesn't want to part with a nickel to be personally responsible about their own health needs. "I'm young and don't need health insurance." Really? If you get in an accident or need your appendix removed it's going to cost anywhere from 50K to a million bucks. Do you have that cash floating around? "No, but I'll pay it off over time." Guess what Einstein? The hospital is going to send you to collections in three months time then write off the loss and pass the cost on to the next consumer. That said consumer being me, the guy that pays for health insurance at an inflated rate to cover your irresponsibility. Now let me state for the record at this point, I'm not mad about those that because of personal circumstances cannot afford to be responsible for their own needs. I'm mad at people that complain that the govt is forcing them to be responsible. BTW, republicans have yet to forward ANY ideas to solve this enormous issue.

  Personally, I think the best healthcare systems in the world are single payer, govt sponsored. But if you dare to forward that idea, you get the inevitable, "Ya, but people from all over the world come to the USA for advanced medical treatment maaaan." Okay, less than a handful fo people come here every year for some exotic treatment. Meanwhile, life expectancy in every other first world country is surpassing the good ole US of A. They're also spending less per capita on medical treatment.

  I'm not sure if this is the forum for such a secular discussion. But I wiil say that the dubs as a people could care less about being fiscally responsible. Janitors and pioneers don't usually have enough to spend on such things as personal responsibility. Maybe they should purchase some "miracle wheat" to deal with what ails them.
