  by troubled in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm wondering how many here are "active jws," "inactive jws," "x-jws," or "never jws.".

  i don't mean to be nosy.

  i'm just wondering how many are in a situation like mine (still in, but struggling).

  OK to Check In?

  by troubled in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just felt the need to check in.

  i've just felt so touched at the heart by those of you who responded with such loving interest yesterday.

  and while i need to be grown up, responsible, and wise, sometimes all i want is for someone to love me and keep me safe.

  Two Different Views/Hypocrisy

  by troubled in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what's hard is seeing things 2 different ways.. in other words, sometimes when i realistically look at things in the organization (without pushing away the uncomfortable thoughts or feeling guilty), i come to the conclusion that "yes, something is definitely wrong in this organization.".

  but then when i go to the meetings, service, etc., i think differently (i.e., "this is the truth, and i'm just spiritually weak and need to study more).

  since i seem to be influenced both directions, how can i be sure which viewpoint is right?
