jw
friends

i am no fan of donald trump at all.

i am getting tired of seeing trump topics here on jwn.

i was hoping that hillary clinton would be elected so i can forget about donald trump once and for all.

Anyone got an answer to a curious puppy dog like me? 🙄

if people get left behind be careful

by pepperheart in

in this world there are becoming two sorts of people the ones with stupid amounts of money and the ones with very little money and the people in charge are going to get even more shocks if they dont share the money out in a more fair way.ive seen in the press that obama will be getting a house that costs over $4 million dollars and how many people are having to live on basic wage.there is plenty of money going around its just not shared out enough,rather than a lottery giving out a prize of $50 or $100 million dollars just think how many people would be blessed if that was dividid in $50,000 prizes and there would be more chances to win as well.some people have to work for a whole year or even two to get that amount of money .

Here's my idea. I have spent most my days studying politics. How about instead of a minimum wage, we have a maximum wage. (Or both) Make it so nobody can make more than $250/hr being people like world leaders and doctors etc. And then remove 80-90% of the federal gov't from the land (I live in the US 🤓), eliminate all monoploies i.e. Walmarts and their copy cats, have local stores and Mom and pop shops boom again and remove the continued slavery of factory cities and piss poor jobs that literally require 117hrs/week to be worked to afford a 2 bedroom apartment. Kind of makes Hitler look good considering he allocated the 40hr work week. But just saying! 😎

Just curious about how faithful women are these days. Anybody know?

by Alostpuppydog in

so being someone who is not, however still believes around 70% of what the jw's talk about as far as the bible goes, ignoring the fact of no blood transfusions, shunning, etc.

wt doctrines, i got this question.

anybody really know how faithful 'worldly' (i use this term lightly 😉) women are these days?

Just kind of curious what you guys or even girls have noticed. Because we all know divorce is super prevalent these days and there are ALOT of 'hohos' out there.

Just curious as to what you may have seen/experienced and whether or not you would say remaining single for the rest of your life is a better option. 🤔🤔

So I woke up and Trump was president

by notalone in

so i live in the u.s. i had family that lived in germany when hitler came to power.

i had family that was in london during the blitz.

being raised as a witness i was obsessed with everything having to do with the rise of the nazis.

To be honest you know it makes no sense that the Witnesses are so pro-Hillary when Trump would be far better off for them. Basically it was either electing a war monger (Hillary) or a slave driver (Trump). Not an easy one and I didn't vote because I like neither. But could someone really be worse than the Bush and Obama over the last 16 years and the trillions in debt we have? I guess we will see but whatever lol.

How to accept and move on from JW's?

by Alostpuppydog in

just like the title says, how does ones self start the transition out of the jw's belief system, since i will never be allowed to go to a kingdom hall and believe a lot of what they teach.. i guess more importantly how have you guys here moved on that have had some exposure to the jw's?.

any advice is more than welcomed and i thank those that have thus far replied to me!!

!.

I guess also, does anyone have any advice for building my relationship with my father who is an unbaptized publisher and is 'currently praying to Jehovah' and I am sure talking with the witnesses as to whether or not he is going to kick me out?

Is this a sign then, should I lol?

by Alostpuppydog in

so the elder (who was my teacher) has informed the rest of the congregation and has now revolked my enterance into their or any hall.

and so now they are looking into getting a restraining order and have called new york and that's what they have decided to do.

just because i was made to feel so depressed and hated that i was thinking of suicide.

Alostpuppydog

I don't have access to a gun btw now. And no I am not going to or intended to actually, just out for the severity of how I was feeling I felt I had to say something for help. But yea I will never go to another Kingdom Hall as long as I live because they have only increased my problems to the point I feel like I can't live. And who would want that? This just goes to show me once and for all I am better off without them worshipping Yahweh by myself without a religion and seeking professional help. Sad to say it but I think I have to for my sanity. And I am calm, I am at work...

Also, I haven't said anything like this to any of the Witnesses or even tried to talk to any of them since I just went to the hospital to get evaluated and they set me up with a therapist and a support group and again, not having anything to do with the JW's, I am already feeling Farr better

I didn't make any threats against them or in a Kingdom Hall. All I said to my Dad who isn't even a JW that they are making me feel suicidal to the point that I feel like shooting them because they are making me feel soooo upset or I just leave and never go back. And I have been hospitalized before but I am feeling fine now already knowing that the burden of their people won't be coming to me any time soon. And as for informing me, they have sent me no texts or anything, other than having had told my Dad that's what NEW YORK HQ told them to do to me.
