  Bartender - Update 3

  by Garrett in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  sorry for long delay for update.. short story shorter - walked in way too late, she walked by, didn't say hi, i didn't say hi, she left to work, i left the bar.

  4 friends got into a huge fight and were kicked out.

  now i'll be going there alone.. to be honest, though, i think i'm just gonna pass on relationships all together.

  Why did you walk in way too late? It's like you're a defeatist trying to make this not turn out right. :/

  1. If you get baptized as a kid (to please your parents) and later in life decide this religion isn't for you, you lose your parents. And everyone else in your life who is of that religion, who are the only people you've ever been allowed to be close to.

  2. You need to follow a very structured life, in both minutiae and long term goals, to be considered 'acceptable association.'

  3. You must constantly look at 'the world' with a dark eye, thinking of its imminent destruction. Everyone who is not of your religion is beneath you and soon to be destroyed. If you don't live the very structured life mentioned above, you too will be destroyed.

  These people have let their religion take away their natural humanity and affection. Perry, they are robots. Try not to take it too personally, while you mourn the passing of your mother. <3

  i would probably call myself an agnostic, but this book helped me to deal with many of life's questions in a way wt never could.

  if helped me alot when i started questioning wt teachings.

  has anyone else read it?

  Yes, an exJW friend recommended it to me during the tumultuous time of questioning Jw teachings. Parts of it were slightly sappy to me, but it still got me bad. I was crying all the way through. I still think about it often. Oddly, I just recommended it to someone today in a PM who was asking me what she should read.

  Maybe they're trying to prove 607 is still valid, but from a different angle. Something to do with exile instead of destruction?

  and THANK YOU WIFI!!

  This past week:like the last days of the Iron Curtain

  by fr0808 in

  2. experiences

  for those old enough to remember, the last days of soviet rule in eastern europe were astonishing.

  you had this unchanging entity that controlled all aspects of people lives for decades.

  then came the unraveling.

  What an awful turn. This has definitely been a roller coaster for you. You have been so blessed to have such a loving mom. It's a hard decision to discontinue treatment. At least she won't be in pain.

  2. experiences

  i am still serving as an elder but just hanging in there.

  i think their quandry is that they don't see me out in the field, but when they need encouragement and decent prayer they come to me.. i just got off the phone to this poor sister who i have only met twice.

  she is not even in my congregation (her sister is).

  The new changes is a clear indication that we are one step closer to the end...

  by RobertT18 in

  2. friends

  that was today's topic over a group chat of my cong's young jbots.

  apparently the rumors are circulating everywhere i go, even people from the spanish congs are talking about it.

  what's really sad is that the majority of people are already seeing this as "clear" signs of the end coming.

  I just wonder what a new release of the video 'JW's-the org behind the name' would look like in 5 years.

  I'm thinking it would look kind of deserted.
