i was physically, emotionally, sexually abused.
the tramas in my life were so great that i split into many.

has anyone else heard of the org.
convincing couples not to have children since this world is so "evil" and armagedon was coming so soon and why not wait until after it is over?.
many new couples were told this and those families that kept conceiving were talked about behind their backs.... daisy
i remember hearing this at C & D assemblies. i also remember that many were looked down upon when they had kids because they were not "putting the truth first". this was 70s-beginning 90s. and the reg Pios all talked about all the kids theyd have in the new system--making it quite clear and vocal they had "made a sacrafice" by putting the FS 1st and not having kids til the new sys. course its the same thing as: "this is the last car im ever gonna buy" heard in 1970, 1980, 1999, 2001, etc.

i don't know about the rest of you but i was one of the stupid ones lugging bricks around and cleaning them up for the jw's shortly before i left.. how many others here have done the same???.
how many of us have at one time been construction workers for the borg???.
esther...you set my brain working on this one with your thread .
OMG! are you ever right about being a "brick-lugging" jw!!! i remember one time we spent the whole day moving a HUGE pile of bricks (all sides of the kh had bricks) only to turn around the next day and move them BACK to the spot we took them from! how frustrating was that? and OF COURSE for years after all we heard about was just how wonderful (and funny) it was that that happened that way! "well, at least we were contributing to the building of J's KH)..." UGH! i just will never forget how WONDERFUL those sisters felt over those stupid bricks!

i'm new here and i have some questions about joining the air force or not.
i'm 21 years old, i was raised as a jehovah's witness but stopped going when i was 13 because i was a kid and thought it was boring (like school).
even after i quit going i still done things that were right or i tried to still live by what i was taught and i'm greatful that i was raised that way because it kept me out of a lot of trouble and made me who i am today.
Instead of running from the problems here I need to help them, not just with payments like I've been doing but I need to get my father to quit drinking, my mother to ditch her boyfriend and get reinstated, younger brother to quit doing drugs, plus, he doesn't want me to leave.
you cannot make anyone stop doing something nor can you change someone who does not want to change. your father, mother, brother are all responsible for themselves and what they do. the best you can do is let them know that you are there to help if and when they are ready to change things in their lives.
about the AF: for me it would boil down to this: would what i am doing in the AF harm, mame or kill anyone either directly or indirectly? what would happen if the US went to war? how would i feel about having to take part in active warfare? what if i had to take up arms and protect the US? could i really live with myself knowing that i took part in killing another person?
a friend of mine joined the army. he called in tears one time because of the stress and the fact they were teaching him how to kill a person. he was sooo upset. sad to report, he got past that heartfelt emotion and now has no qualms about killing. i look at it as he lost himself when he went thru that training. he is a totally different person. please give this very serious thought. and please make sure that joining the AF is not just to escape your problems. problems will follow you to the AF. problems only go away when confronted and resolved.
please let us know what you decide.
NOTE: the above responses are based on my personal beliefs, thoughts, and feelings. i answered after thinking of how i would handle this situation if it were me.

simon did away with the sex forum - so i must take the tradional route and post under "make new friends.
" how mundane!.
fyi ---- for all of us, please take the time to write a sentence or two about yourselves, and encourage new ones to do the same.
Skimmer, Pearljan,
i have some knowledge of what you both are going thru. i have a close relative whos husband needs a liver transplant. we have watched him go downhill and he is just now been approved for the transplant program. it is very frustrating to know that it will take a few years or more before he will probably get a liver. im so sorry to hear of the difficulties you both are going thru. please know that i am keeping both of you and your families in my prayers and thoughts.
i also thought you might like to read Waiting's post entitled "DANCE LIKE NO ONE IS WATCHING". it is exactly what you encouraged people to do....not to spare any time appreciating your family, friends, etc. the link is: * http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?id=6302&site=3
oh behalf of every patient who needs a transplant, regardless of what kind, thank you for sharing your stories and encourcouraging others to become donors.

thanks Jason. i really appreciate all the time you took to answer my question and that you answered on the board.
the only thing i see as a difference from what you wrote and jws believe is that your "truth" says God & Christ are the same person YHWH. is there something else different that i may have missed?
i also wonder: were you ever a jw? are you practising a diff religion now? if so what? it is just curiousity on my part as well as a way to get to know you better. i was raised jw for 27 or so years. i "drifted" aprox 3yrs ago. i left because of the lack of brotherly love and caring.
thanks again
