So I'm going through a really difficult time right now.

i was publicly reproved last year and the elders have taken their sweet time in reinstating my "privileges".

it's been six months and i can't answer at the meetings or participate in the theocratic ministry school.

in all honesty- i don't care about the privileges.

I'm afraid I'd be single for life
by ohnightdivine in
1. social
2. relationships
this is quite embarrassing for me to share, but as a 30+ year old single female i have lingering doubts as to whether i can still meet a decent man and get married.. you all know how difficult it is for sisters to find an appropriate partner in the congregation.. and now, all the more so that i've learned ttatt.

i still am bound by low self-esteem, and i do have trust issues, especially with men.

i am very lonely and so i just keep myself busy with work to avoid depression (although it is also a great source of stress).. any other single females out there having similar thoughts?.

it's hard for me to start this topic bc i feel like i'm being judgmental, a quality i don't like in others and one i try to stay away from as much as possible.

i really do try to be an understanding, caring person.

i essentially believe that all people are good and i am shocked to my core when i am betrayed.

The first step toward apostasy
by Socrateswannabe in

"the first step toward apostasy is a drop in field service activity.

i have read that statement in wts publications and heard it many times from the platform.

i haven't studied philosphy so i'm not sure what type of logical fallacy this is an example of, but it is one for sure.
