  how do you cope with the stress of fading?

  by brainmelt in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm really struggling with it.

  i've been learning the ttatt for the past 6 months now and i've been inadvertantly fading - either one of us or the children have had coughs/colds/flu/chicken pox/stress over the past 3 months which has meant we've missed a lot of meetings and field service with good reason.

  we've only been out in service twice this year, so far no ones mentioned it to us but i'm waiting for our group overseer to bring it up anytime soon.

  Dear. dear Brainmelt - (you poor thing) -

  I am so upset to think you are still having such anguish (because I know from experience the same pain)

  If I could make 2 suggestions -

  1. Write a therapeutic letter. Please, back up about 20 hours on JWN, and read the letter our 'sis' Skygreen wrote to her elders (It's her post number 135). her concerns are similar to yours.

  You express yourself well, and writing gives the opportunity to present personal, private, thoughts thouroughly and explicitly. A thoughtful letter to the 'right' elder (if you have one) may champion your pleas for peace and freedom from coercion.

  2. Take a copy of your letter, and visit a counsellor - in times of grief, sorrow and pressure, a good councellor is a true friend in the hour of need.

  Please, and keepmin touch here - we love you. (guy hug)

  How many ways....

  ... can you name that the wts hurts people?.

  two big ones for me:.

  it pushes people to the edge and when they commit suicide they say: "well he wasn't really a jw anyways soit has nothing to do with us".. it pushes people so much to do more and more and more that they get depressed, and physically sick.

  Secrecy - members are coerced to shun people for reasons they are never given.

  aberations of justice - one punishment fits all crimes large or small

  let me say, i was so excited about aawa.

  but these guys have tried to start a revolution based on 20/21st century ideals.

  revolution is anarchy.

  Christ Alone-

  What can we at JWN or other associates do to contribute the passion of 'Art' to this cause?

  Can you offer suggestions to get us thinking about your approach?

  Thanks . GfG

  My latest university experience...

  by Billy the Ex-Bethelite in

  2. friends

  this isn't a jw experience, but for those of you that have been following my life, i thought i'd have a drink and share this strange event in my post-jw life.. for you wonderful newbies, you can catch up on highlights of my story in the few threads i've started here.

  i'm finishing the junior year of my engineering degree and the classes are hard as hell.

  i used to be among the smartest students in the room until i hit the 300 level university courses.

  Billy -

  It's wonderful to think that our minds are often pre-wired for certain trains of thought. I think thats partly what 'aptitude' may be.

  Good for you (and your profession) for following your own leadings. GfG

  Lady Lee -

  That aggressive, 'in your face name' name may be a good vehicle to differentiate the arrogant, delusional, greedy,

  abusive master from the humble, ill-informed and manipulated slaves of the R&F JWs.

  'Kick Ass' someone called it... yeah, let's all get together... and Kick some Watchtower Corporate Ass!

  Thanks to you all who have already worked so hard... its going to be great!

  Watchtower Abuse ------- Anti Watchtower ?

  The five most damaging practices (targetted by that excellent Mission Statement) are all abuses, whether of

  ones very person, their freedoms, family or security.

  A name change that reflects this as the main concern would be my preference also.

  Could an association truthfully present itself as non-sectarian if its name identifies it as 'anti Watchtower'?

  Wishing Liz -

  Hello and welcome to you.

  You are probably correct about the gradual absorbtion of knowledge bringing about change.

  However there is some urgency involved with this particular knowledge, as people are in peril and pain right now.

  So like the medical/educational feilds push their agendas forward ASAP to bring relief, comfort and health - so too with liberating the exploited, the sooner the better for everyone.

  A personal message to you lurking Jehovah's Witnesses out there

  while you were sitting in that uncomfortable folding chair the other night.... listening to something you've heard already a thousand times before.... do you know what was happening at the same time?.

  somebody somewhere else was studying a real textbook.

  somebody was cramming for a college exam.

  I'm impressed all to pieces!

  Respectful, non sectarian, extending the open offer to the Org, and humanitarian help for those already (or about to be damaged) -- Classy

  Also impressive is your choice of platforms to attack- family shunning, 'medical' doctrine, 2 witnesses issues, and inadequate-education.
