  Look into the seventh day Adventists. They're very similar to the witnesses and observe the sabbath. You seem very intelligent, keep coming back.

  The bunker video was encouraging to me! I want to imitate that kid who chose to stay behind and refused to follow his family to the bunker. I'm guessing he survived!

  How do you deal with depression?

  by BlackWolf in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm currently going through a bout of depression and my eating disorder has gotten worse.

  ever since my parents actually told me that they are going to kick me out when i turn 18 i've felt kind of hopeless about my life.

  my parents won't take me to the doctor because the psychiatrists won't have my "best interests" aka jw crap in mind, because really that's the root of all my problems.. i'm wondering if any of you guys have any advice with dealing with depression?

  I definitely wouldn't wait until 18 to start making moves. Now that you are under 18 there are lots of options available to you: take advantage of it (group homes, adolescent counseling, youth job placement). If you can somehow get to an emergency room you're half way there. Look up a united way number or equivalent. Best wishes and take baby steps. You're going to love the life you created for yourself.

  What is harder? Making a new jw or bringing one out?

  by EndofMysteries in

  i find it interesting how stories of people waking or bringing one out are like the opposite of jw experiences bringing one in.

  maybe we should start an ex jw yearbook for experiences of those coming out haha.

  "Bible Teach" book study--is it real?

  by AmyWatson916 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jw's want to begin a study through their new "what does the bible really teach?

  " book.

  should a non-jw study with them just to point out the contradictions and muddled thinking in the book?

  Hey welcome,

  Don't get involved, they just want to clock preaching hours for their timesheets. Don't give them a chance.

  I feel frustrated 

  by BlackWolf in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hello all, things for the most part have been somewhat better for me because my parents haven't talked about baptism or anything recently.

  i got a scholarship to go to art camp for a few weeks which has been fun (since its free, my parents didn't refuse) but it has also been very nervewracking for me.

  i haven't been around any non jws for more than a year and its like being in a different world, a world where people are actually real and genuine and not mindless drones.

  Just make friends exchange emails, etc. I figure if you can be on this site, then email should be fairly easy. You CAN be friends, you just wont be able to meet up; due to your parents decision NOT YOURS. You are telling them that you can't be their friend because of religion; I think it would be easier for them to understand if you were to say your parents are strict. Yet, you will still make the effort to reach out to them.

  by Da.Furious in

  found this on social media.

  i understand the feeling having someone reinstates especially after 16 years.

  but why did they have to suffer this long.

  I bet he's awake! It isn't sad that he grew old 'away' from Jehovah. It means he saved himself 16 years of wear and tear on the body that comes with being a JW.
