  Suicide, the loss of a family member, that you always picture as "just there" is a hard thing to process... things seem unreal. We want to figure out "why"? and "What if".... all that.... but 'we' cannot control everything that happens.... let yourself have comfort from friends, give yourself time.... So sorry, sending our love, cha ching & hubby

  Do you need Art and Music in your life?

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  music and art have been a big part of my life since i was a little boy, and although i was never able to play a decent guitar, i can paint.

  my art teacher from college said " i was the most imaginative and constructive pupil she had ever had.

  " i loved that comment, because in translation i realised it meant i had to work harder than other more naturally talented students, but the effort was always worth it.

  Music is so fun! My art? dancing to the music!

  Maksutov, you also play beautifully, love your guitar, and what a great artist, video composer also!

  Hypothetical Question...

  i was just thinking that the org has said lots of outrageous things over it's history and most jws just continue onward without a second thought.

  so my question is what do you think would have to be said from the platform or wt to get people to get up and walk out immediately?

  is it even possible?

  First, Obliette, thanks for "Janis"... I loved that song when a teenager! Why can't God answer one little prayer? or two? or three? After all, he is "almighty"...

  Second, I think this TV thing is a way to make money... Most likely, the congregation orders these from the "Society"...

  Let's see....

  52,000 congregations times $1,000 in profits equals $52,000,000 (just a modest guess, haha) Do they have a "Monthly internet connection charge"?

  This is all speculation, but wasn't that an Apple watch we saw on Jackson's wrist during his testimony at the Royal Commission? Hey, "Advertise, Advertise, Advertise"... Right? haha!

  My first post

  hi, i just joined the board and wanted to present myself.. i'm active, in fact very active in congregation activities serving "where the need is great" in a foreign language congregation somewhere in western europe.

  as a young brother, i'm seen as an example as i'm doing all a good witness should do.. i had doubts years ago but i decided just to ignore them and move to another congregation to preach more.

  that worked for some years but i'm now at the exact same point.

  Hi TW, your english is great, no problems understanding you at all, and like everyone said.... take.... your.... time...

  It is quite difficult at first, a flood of emotions go through you, you don't want to 'be the bad guy' and call anyone mean, call anyone a liar, or "assume" anything....

  Just let yourself do research (this is a great place because EVERYONE on this site has done the same as you.... wondered, searched, been confused, been mad, been hurt) and DON'T TELL EVERYONE what you have done.

  Give yourseslf time... If you want to help your family out... be very careful..... go slow.... it is difficult.

  Ever wonder why they same the same things every meeting? Every week? Propaganda... they know they have to repeat, repeat.... So, why not create a circumstance where your family is NOT at every meeting?

  Join a class? a club? take trips? Move? Start getting "Worldly friends" so that when you DO decide to leave.... if you do, you will have friends...

  Good "luck" ....& hugs cha ching

  Thanks for doing this Greybeard! My husband and I were with you the whole way through... Laughing, crying, and saying, "Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" We felt your pain, we know the craziness, can see your heartache, and thank you for the courage to let us in.

  We met your buddy, Eric, this summer, in Tahoe, and look forward to maybe skyping? maybe you can be there too? Ever think of coming to Tahoe for a camping trip? Bring your guitar, and Flipper always brings his... You two can get it going!

  Hugs, cha ching!

  Saddest thing about being DFd

  by kairos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i always enjoyed being kind.

  when someone genuinely needed a hand or what not, it felt good to help family or friends.. i don't really miss them anymore.

  i faded over two years ago, so they long ago shunned me.i think about them less and less and have even forgotten some names.i did enjoy some of the friendships and the association.

  Kairos, my husband and I consider it our privilege to get to know you, you are truly a great guy, and we are so happy to start this friendship. It is the good ones that leave the Borg... Why? Because they DO have a heart, they DO have a conscience, and they DO care! Right?

  Hopefully this Berlin wall of WT will start crumbling soon!

  Hugs, cha ching & hubby

  Thx for the pics WTFree, I cannot stand to watch this man when he talks.... other than the fact that I am sure he is reaffirming that the GB are a bunch of simple minded idiots... He looks absolutely craaaazy!

  and yes, LisaRose.... I think a circus is missing a clown ;-)
