  1. Do you have a sense of well being?

  Yes, most of the time.

  2. How would you describe a feeling of well being?

  I would descibe it as mental and physical serenity.

  3. Do JW's ever have a true sense of well being?

  I believe not because they concentrate on the tomorrow as opposed to claiming the here and now.

  4. What if anything is required to give a person a sense of well being?

  In my opinion acceptance of what is within my reach and relinquishing those things that are beyond my control. That allows me a place where peace and a sense of balance can exsist.

  What Would You Say If Someone Expressed Interest In Being A JW???

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if someone told you that they thought the witnesses seemed like good people and that they were thinking of having a bible study with them, would you try to persuade them not to?

  would you just keep quiet, hoping they would see things for themselves?.......if you are still a witness (technically), would you subtlely or overtly tell them to run??
