  Argument with my Child "Why did I stay in the Organization so long?" Anger and Bitter Feelings.

  by RottenRiley in

  last night my third oldest child wanted to know why we stayed in the organization so long.

  child is a third year college student enjoying all the classes this "wicked system" has to offer, the insatiable appetite for learning makes him want to argue and debate, i don't have the energy to debate because i don't feel good with all life has thrown our way.. .

  "the only reason i went to meetings so long was because grandma and grandpa needed somebody to take them to meetings and cobe aunt and uncle and secretary aunt and uncle refused to talk to grandma for years, otherwise i would have stopped attending the kingdom hall because the kids were assholes and i was always the one who had to make "first contact", "i was the one who had to go around and meet and greet newbies while the regular jw wall-flowers (calebs) ignored all the visitors and new persons visiting our kingdom hall.

  my heart aches because of the wall i have had to build around myself.

  this ache is easier to handle than the ache i would suffer if i ever went through the situation again.

  i just can't do it.

I will always love my parents, I always have. I will always pray for them, they have been in my prayers for 13 years.

  Oh My God!!

  yesterday after an awesome workout at the gym i was walking to the front door and i saw my former friend who is a "spiritually strong" (non-thinking) jw walking towards me talking with a trainer.

  i thought she was either there on a job interview or was taking a tour of the facilities before joining.. i thought should i say hi, should i say nothing, would she acknowledge me, etc.

  i decided to say hi to make sure that she remembered that i am a member of this gym, so that she would not feel uncomfortable it she accepted a job there or joined it.. the gym is about 20 miles from where she lived when i was friends with her, but is in a convenient location between where she was living and where she works.. i said "hi n" about five feet before me, no response.. i said "hi n" a little louder about five feet after they passed me.

  Hopefully she will be free one day, and you will be there for her. One of my dearest friends finally left a couple of years ago, and it was truly one of the happiest days of my life when she found me on Facebook. It does make me sad that we missed so many years of friendship, though.

  What are the feelings/thoughts within 24-48 hours of exposure to an undeniably true (for you) TATT?

  by NeverKnew in

  many of us know where we were during 9/11 or when john kennedy and martin luther king were killed.. it seems that when faced with ttatt, real truth is dismissed as "ol' light" or "an imperfect group of men" but from what i gather, many of you, at some point, were hit with a component of ttatt that shattered all of those cliches that allowed you to brush off the obvious reality that something was very wrong.

  some of you may remember the hours following your earliest exposures to an undeniably true tatt.

  did you zone completely out?

  I could not learn enough fast enough. I felt relief that I hadn't "damned" my baby to eternal nothingness. I wanted to share everything I had learned with those still in. I was blessed with amazing friends who helped me understand Christianity. Seems like such a long time ago.

  Have you used dropbox? Have you had any problems?

  by ILoveTTATT in

  there is a certain user to whom i suggested using dropbox, and the user said he had problems with it, that his computer ended up full of game advertisements.. please, to those who have used dropbox before, can you give your honest evaluation of dropbox?.

  i am trying to convince this user that i did not suggest to him something that was bad, but actually good... that it helps to share huge files, no matter what their size.. .

  please tell this user... i don't want to lose this user's trust.. .

  I use it for work and love it. I have never had a problem, and it was IT that downloaded it to my work laptop.

  my little sister is 14 years younger than me.

  she was always special to me, i took care of her, when my mother was working, i carried her around, i comforted her.

  we are very similar in our interests for music and literature.. she is in secondary school, an unbaptised publisher.. since i study in the us, we only see each other about once a year.

  Reply, tell her you love her unconditionally and will always be there for her. Leave it at that.

  Leaving the JW's

  nobody should feel obligated to explain themselves to the elders, or anyone else for that matter.

  just quietly leave and never go back if an opportunity presents itself..

  Yes, it was googled. On a happy note, I think it is time for me to say goodbye to this amazing community. You have helped me so much. My purpose must have been to lead somebody else here. Please take care, and lead many more to the truth!
