  Finding Jobs? How 'bout Spouses?

  by WhatNow in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if we can find (or help find) people jobs, can we play match-maker, too?

  i think being raised as a 'witness' puts me in a unique 'class' (aka 'co-dependent ha ha).

  now that i'm 41 (divorced, white, professional, female [mom]) i have discovered many things about why i have become the person i am.

  QUESTION: What religion are you in now? ...

  by terafera in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this got me to thinking.... now that most of us have left the wts, i notice some have taken other belief systems.

  some have come to a peace with their own ideas.. my question is are you involved with another religion?

  has it brought you more peace or happiness?

  Nope, no religion at all. I really would love to find some religion that I can believe in and trust me I've looked. Whenever I hear of almost any religion now the inconsistencies just seem to jump out at me. Anymore my thoughts are that if god (in whatever form he/she/it) really does exist and has spoken to us then why didn't they do so more clearly? If this powerful spirit was really so concerned about us worshipping them then they should have made things a little more clear for us.

  Are you on any American email lists?
  Sorry if I'm being to intrusive here. I just thought it might be kind of cool if someone from one of my rather specialized interests was involved with another one.

  Saying we have all of our suffering because a couple people ate some bad fruit thousands of years ago is like saying I'm going to smack your kids silly because they have an idiot for dad.
  You wanna know why we die? We stop breathing. How hard is that to understand. God didn't make perfect creatures anymore than your parents made smart ones.

  Hey Yadirf, you're always talking about how you're such a wonderful Christian and defending JW's. Correct me if I'm wrong but don't they believe that Jehovah will take care of everything and they should stay out of the courts and whatnot especially if it would bring reproach on the WTS? Well I would think that calling the mayor and the supervisors would probally make a big deal would it not? Besides, coming from another thread where I asked you repeatedly and you kept dodging my answeres, how are you showing that wonderful christian love you're so supposed to be so full of?

  Hey Joel, it wasn't a police investigation. I remember reading in one of Danni's earlier posts where she even told her supervisor that it was a personal thing and she was doing it on her own time.
  As for the way Danni and her partner acted, you two are great!!! I back up your actions 110%. So what's so bad about not being nice to assholes? Yeah yeah yeah, I know the elders are just doing what they're supposed to but regardless of what they're told they're the ones who actually have to carry out the actions. You can bitch and whine all you want about its not their fault but those assholes need to take responsibility for their own actions. I get sick and tired of hearing people talk about how they were mean or cruel to people when they were JW's and how they hate the WTS for making them be that way. I was just as much of jerk to others when I used to do what they told me to but I only blame myself for my actions. Stop whining for these men who are jerks and start believing in responsibility.
