I'm sick of this boring life!!

by Nicolas in

i'm really tired of always having to fight.

i don't have any friends in this world and i don't want to return to the evil watchtower.

it seem to me that everyone else around have fun and enjoy the life while, i still don't know what to i do with my life.

Wow what beautiful and TRUE posts here!!

I too, feel socially retarded sometimes! [8>]

It's because, like what others said here, we are told there is nothing but meetings and the Bible. I to this day, feel akward when people talk about what they are going to do on the weekend. I keep reminding myself, 'im normal, i'm a regular person, like them'.. but its hard.

I have no worldly friends, persay. I have co-workers, in laws, but it has been hard on me. It has always been too worldly for Witnesses, to good for worldlies! LOL
But I am having more fun now... I have been self teaching myself the guitar, I read read read, VOLUNTEER, and ski! I love going out... but volunteering is the best thing I've ever done.

THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN FEEL SORRY FOR YOURSELF WHEN YOU VOLUNTEER!!

Keep us posted!

-will black people turn white and speak hebrew in the new system?she laughed and said she never heard that before,april 1 1914 watchtower:all men privledged to live in that new world would return to man`s original state,including man`s original colour and language.. -why can the witnesses have blood transfusions in bulgaria?oh i have never heard that before,but we are to abstain from blood but it is our own choice!what does that mean!

Being a JW Kid

i've always felt that the adult jws got off pretty easily compared to jw kids.. for instance: .

my dad went to work, and didn't bother his co-workers with jw stuff.

it wasn't allowed.

Lee! Your story brought tears to my eyes!! What a sad story.. what a waste of 15 years!! I'm so sorry for you...

That was the most important decision of your life and your mother made it! Then told you to stick with your decision..

I dont know how you have such a great attitude.. what a horrible thing to have happened!!

Depression Anyone??[:(][:(]

lately ive been feeling really paranoid about the post with worst congs i tried deleting mine but cant.

im probably stressing over nothing.

maybe my meds need adjusting, i dont know.

terafera

Hmmm- you can look in the yellow pages under mental health or counseling.. call them and ask if they have a sliding scale fee. Some do. Also you can call your local college or University and ask if they have counseling sessions with the post-grad students. A friend of mine saw a woman through the University for $25 a week. She loved her counselor.. and the woman was just credits away from her PHD so she knew her business.

I have suffered from panic/anxiety disorder and have found meditation and self talk to be the most helpful. I havent taken any medication and have been doing great, but there are those who really need it.

Please read up on it.. I have found books in the library that have helped wonders.

Apostate Tours!!!

by Beans in

jw
friends

im thinking of a new business venture "the apostate tour company".

we could visit very symbolic places of interest for the so called "apostates"starting off at the bar we would have a few pints and whisky to consult the spirits with a ceremonial toast.after we get a little wired we would get on the apostate bus and head over to see the grave site of pastor russell and on the way partake in a ceremonial weedfest.upon arriving we would all have our pictures taken beside the cross on the pyramid of this great leader.our next venture would be the headquarters in ny to see where all the little stories are made up and check out all the hot sisters and brothers.we could end our tour at the hotel having a wild party and participate in worldly drinking games while engaging in gross sexual misconduct1.

ugh April! My heart broke for you not being able to paint that picture...

I'm sorry for us, and all the other kids that are left out because of their parents religious beliefs.

Would you believe this year is the first year I let my son celebrate holidays. Last year he didnt, and the poor thing looked very uncomfortable.. but I thought I was saving him from some horrible act. GRRR!!! I try not to beat myself over it though... that was only (thank God) his first year in school and now he is having a blast! He thanks me every day for letting him participate in holidays. Sweet kid!

They Have Left Jehovah's Service

by Defender in

this is the standard accusation placed on those that were stumbled by the countless failed date settings of the society.

it happened right after 1914, after 1925, after 1975 and is gradually happening since 1995 after the 1914 generation failed.

since 1995, every year now on average, there are close to 200,000 that are leaving the society.

Defender, good post. The analogy of a parent that keeps changing it's word... perfect! I know how frustrating it would be...

Oh Trotafox.. how right you are!!

I too well, know the interested scheme. After being shunned for years (never DA or DF, just drifted away).. an elderly sister came running up to me and hugged me! [8>] I was shocked.. she had questions.. 'how are you? are you still married? do you go to any meetings?.. how is your mom (who is DF'd)? I heard she had a boyfriend.. is she still working?' After I gave her a long and informative reply, she said it was getting late and she had to go. Ever since then, she hasnt talked to me! I figured out that it was more of a way to find gossip on my mothers and my own life. I guess the elderly feel more able to do this, since they are so strong, they would never become weak from talking to us! Anyway, they are hoping to get some 'time' in...
