StanLD. Sorry I have already posted thank you on a different thread.
Freesoul. Your point makes sense. That is why I need to work on the children right now.
Actally, family study and time spent with them are my priorities. 1. close bonds 2.informations about mistakes, changing teachings etc. I want them to uphold moral values but I want to teach them not to be afraid to think and act different while helping them to find their pleasures outside.
Of course. No guaranties of success.

DB and pbrow. Thank you. I appreciate your comments. Yes, as JW are high cost movement it takes effort to get in and stay. And even more effort to get out. That's why good plan and well prepared actions are necessary. I know it is hard but being hysterical and rushing without an objective causes more harm than good. It is, obviously, my personal opinion / experience. -

Hi Stan. I should have posted it on another thread. Thanks for photo ( the car , the hall and you). I checked the link. It is interesting.
Rebel. I think I see your point. In my view I am apostate because it is - according to Greek - someone standing outside or on the side. I am not in the center of the action anymore. I am watching from the side:) and wandering what is going to happen yet.

Im sick of my life
by BlackWolf insorry but i really feel like i need to rant right now.
recently my dad was made an elder so my family has been doing a lot more "theocratic" activities lately.
every morning i wake up and put on my itchy dress and stupid makeup and heels and then pretend that i love what i'm doing and that everybody is my friend when in reality i feel horrible and all the other teenage girls at my hall hate me for some reason.

So sorry. Please, go to see a specialist. You sound like having serious depression. It is far more than "spiritual" problem. Being in your situation doesn't help. But if you have right treatment then you really can move on. If you don't sort out your emotions first, no choice is going to be good.
Do take care after yourself.

By the way. I don't agree with jc policy now. But it IS my past. I did what I did. I was wrong but my motives were good.I was doing my best. As many of us here. I understand people like Cognac but you can't live like that. We are not here to cover one another in sick, I hope. Just maybe someones experience may help to find some joy in life.
