I think that is very difficult. All awaken person at the convention has a priority to pretend.
They will try their best to pretend.
Remember you need to pretend too!

during this new year i started to love boxing and i can only really do is shadowbox which is good training, but i really want to do more.
now you might be thinking ''why the heck would this kid take a likeing in boxing when he is in a jw family?
''well thats the point of this post it sucks that i cant do a sport that i like and i want to spend time doing because jw's dont let you do sports and dear god you wont be able to do something like boxing.. (i just made this because i just wanted to talk about this and some of you will understand if you wanted too do sports but you couldnt because you where a part of a jw family).

I don't know why people give advice like the above with that article. You know it doesn't truly work that way for most kids and it will just make things worse on him
It's not that we don't want to give advice that can work. We just dunno what advice to give. I was also raised up in a jw family, I also have missed out on many things that I love to do. I just have to live with it.
I could only get out of it all by d/a-ing myself. Akid is too young for it. I know him quite well and I think even if he is 20, he may still not be ready to leave.
But what advice can you give to him other than telling him to leave?I cannot advise him to leave cos I understand his family situation. So I just have to joke over it.
Akid :
I remember your family allow you to go back to school for football right? Can you just lie to them you need to go for some other games instead of telling them you go for boxing.....or is it that your family need to sign a form for boxing lesson???? Same for me, I wanted to join a uniform group when I was 14. But my parents would not sign the form for me. That causes me to start hating this religion....

Hey, I am learning boxing too. But I am learning thai boxing (Muay Thai). Tell your relatives I challenge you in boxing. If I lose, I will go back to the wt. Tell them you need to excel in boxing to save a soul. Hahaha!

of course this is an open ended question but have you ever really thought about what makes you who you are?.
is it our looks, our personality, our physique, our intelligence, our experiences and subsequent memories, our beliefs?
is it a combination of all these things and even more?
I am like a wave at its peak, thinking how great and powerful I am.
But when I reach the shore, I realise that I am just water.
i have once commented under the topic "are you better off as a worldly person or a jw?
i am a born-in but left nearly a year ago at age 16. i would say when i was a jw and was still fully convinced that it is the truth, i was happier.
i have a hope then.
Thank you all for your comments.
When I made that comment, what I was concerned then was the things I have lost after leaving.
But now I realized how much more I have gained by leaving and how many things I would have lost if I choose to stay.
I think the biggest blow to me after I left was the death of my closest friend. I have lost the hope of a resurrection. Did you noticed that after I started the topic on “Is it better to have a false hope than to have no hope”, I disappeared for more than 3 months?
The whole world seems to collapse on me then! I have relied on him too much. I have known him for 8 years. We have gone through life together for half of our lives.We were both 16. And he left me suddenly!
I know that he will be there for me if my parents were to kick me out of my house. I depended on him to help me adapt to this world. Now I find myself alone…I got so depressed that a classmate of mine has to inform the teacher. I have to be referred to a school counselor…
I have gained more friends…I have received more down-to-earth advice from real people…no longer receiving advice from those fanatics at the wt! Yes, learning can sometimes be painful. But no pain no gain! I agree that I have become more mature. I need to hold myself accountable for every action I make. I would not be able to learn this if I continue to live in wt fantasy!

Now that I am out. I faced the question many people have : What is the purpose of life?
I cannot be happy when I find no answer....
But now when I ponder over it, I think I was terribly wrong.
It seems like when I made that comment, deep inside I was blaming people for taking away the hope from me. I am really sorry if I have offended any of you here with my comment.
I should be happy that I found out about TTATT at a young age. If nobody has taken that false hope from me, I would be still be living in a lie.
I know that when I am 30 year old and the big A haven’t come yet, I will begin to doubt. If that is the case, I would have wasted 30 years of my life living in a lie!
100 years ago, that borg told the young that they will never grow old. I am sure they were very happy then. But what happened? I think I can understand how they feel when they started to turn 60 y/o…
I realize now how fortunate I am…
made the mistake of opening the front door today...i was expecting someone to service our central heating...oh dear, it was a sister instead :(.
she tells me jehovah misses me.
it seems god only sees me if i go to the meetings.
Phoebe,
It seems like you have just faded and not completely d/a from them.
But the moment you d/a from them, Jehovah won't miss you anymore...
Jehovah is waiting to toast you at the big A..
my mom : why are you leaving the door open?.
me : jehovah's wintesses are around.
i am waiting for them.. my mom ; what for?.
Smiddy and DOC,
I have many pictures in my brain. But I just can't draw them out. I suck at drawing. I remember once , I think I am 9 or 10 yrs old, my teacher embarassed me in front of the class when he show everybody my drawing. He did not know what I am drawing. Nobody in the class knows what I draw.
I can only express it in words. But a picture means a thousand words...
For example, when I da'd myself, an elder's son who was in my school drew a picture of a dog eating its own vomit and placed it on my desk.
I have the picture of JWs eating the shit of those old men from the gb. But I can't drew it out. I wanted to ask my friend to draw it but he don't understand exactly the picture in my mind....I am so frustrated over it.
many years back, my younger brother and i were the most mischievous kids in the kingdom hall.
we would mischievously take away things like the bible , study magazines, etc from meeting attendees.
soon, they will suspect us if anything went missing.. our parents were annoyed with our conduct and behaviour.. they requested an elder to talk to us.
Many years back, my younger brother and I were the most mischievous kids in the kingdom hall. We would mischievously take away things like the Bible , study magazines, etc from meeting attendees. Soon, they will suspect us if anything went missing.
Our parents were annoyed with our conduct and behaviour.
They requested an elder to talk to us. One day, both of us were brought to the kingdom hall .
I, as the elder son, was brought into the elder's room while my younger brother waited outside.
The elder, with the intention to emphasize the omni-presence of Jehovah, asked me:
“Where is Jehovah?”
I was shocked that he asked me this question. I stared at him blankly.
“Where is Jehovah?” he demanded to know.
I started to perspire and shiver.
Finally, he banged on the table. Ask in a louder tone:
“Where is Jehovah?”
I was so scared that I ran out of his room, grabed my brother’s hand and ran out of the kingdom hall, telling my brother:
“Jehovah is missing and they think we did it.”
(This is just a joke and not a real personal experience.)
