  Got an interview

  by LouBelle in

  2. friends

  as some of you know, i had no job last year, then finally got something in an industry that i know nothing about.

  the environment and people haven't been the best, but i had to stick it out and hope that things would improve.

  i have kept my eye and ears open for opportunities more in my field of expertise - which is print advertising.. i sent through my cv for a job i saw advertised in the newspaper for an advertising sales rep - applied and now i have an interview to go too tomorrow.. i've learnt not to get my hopes up - i am glad for the interview and i hope it goes well..

  the mother who says having these two children is the biggest regret of her lifeisabella dutton, 57, says she wishes she had remained childless'i resented the time my children consumed.

  like parasites, they took from me and didn't give back'.

  isabella dutton would have been happier not having children.

  so after the memorial hell http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/249700/1/memorial-hell my wife totally missed the special talk and i only just realized from jwn that she has.

  in fact last sunday i took her out to a park and we had nice time in the fresh air enjoying nature.

  also she has taken up improving her congnitive skills on luminosity and today said she might actaully go and study some algebra on khan academy which i had suggested instead of spending money on luminosity.

  The CO 'encourages' Julia to meet with THREE elders- the latest episode in the best-selling drama, The Fade of Julia Orwell.

  it was yesterday morning and hubby and i were having a huge sleep in.

  it was just after ten, and with me being a bit flu-ey i was quite capable of staying in bed longer.

  hubby was feeling it too, and we were pleasantly drifting in and out to the sounds of birds.. then suddenly, cloomp, cloomp, cloomp up the front stairs, then "rap-rap-rap" on the front screen door, that rapid-fire, strong knock of the practiced door-knocker.

  "You don't get a second chance to make a first impression" AAWA

  the first impression one has of any group or organization is its name.

  that is my problem with "the name'.

  active, or even questioning witnesses will undoubtedly be alarmed by the connotation of name.

  Modern 'Marketing' is the multi-billion dollar business of decieving people.

  It's sole purpose is to increase profits.

  The Watchtower 'markets' religion.

  Consumer advocacy informs about the true worth of the product- exposing its flaws

  and recommending improvements or alternatives

  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.

  The baseless 'theology' of invisible evil, persons is truely harmfull, especially to the young

  My son developed mental illness at a very early age after years of excessive discipline, religious indoctrination, and the many asorted and unique

  social stresses proferred on JW children, by their ignorant, brainwashed parents.

  For much of his teens and youth he heard voices, yet said nothing as he sank into terrible madness, all alone.

  Why? - because he assumed he was 'demonized', and didn't want that to affect his fathers 'position' as an elder.

  Imagine an 'elder', so stupid as to not even be aware that your own child is insane, because of the way he was raised, and lies he was taught.

  Thanks Watchtower -our life was such a phoney, hypocritical, manufactured and covert hell, we didn't even make it out with all our lives..

  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)

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

  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

  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
