  where a few of us here on the forum live is in an emergency situation.

  the main spillway on oroville dam -- the tallest dam in the usa -- is damaged.

  the emergency spillway, never used before in the 48 years the dam has operated, is eroding.. major confusion and panic occurred when the order went out sunday, late afternoon: this is not a drill!.

  i hope all is well.

  my last post over a month ago was going to be the last considering i wanted to get away from all things jw but this place is much harder to ignore than previously thought.

  life has taken some very interesting turns since late last year.

  Stranger asks about your kids mental wellness. ..

  by purrpurr in

  2. bible

  last night at the meeting there was a suggested presentation about the new mags, which cover the issue of depression in minors.

  the jw jumps straight from "hi how are ya" to "how is your kids mental well-being " and of course the hh is more than happy to discuss the inner workings of their child's mind with a stranger whose just knockedmon their door(!).

  if it was me i'd be majorly creeper out!.

  hi everyone, i've just registered and thought i might introduce myself and tell my experience.

  my name's raquel.. i was born into a jw family.

  i started leading a double life around 14y/o and got caught drinking by another sister when i was 15 and saw that as my opportunity to quit the panthomime and stopped going to the meetings.

  Guilt as Motivator

  by LifesNotOver in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've just come across this idea: i've been feeling guilty about not contributing more to this forum, given all the help i've received here.

  i feel guilty that i haven't had it as bad as so many of you.

  i feel guilty that i didn't have any jw family/friends that shunned me when i left.

  We deserve to die

  by elfgoblin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  at the meeting today, we were reading the watchtower and this elder apologetically said to such a degree in regards to romans 5:12 that "we humans are not worthy of any mercy from jehovah.

  we shouldn't even have free will because we can't possibly do anything good enough to please jehovah.

  we don't even deserve life because of sin.
