  Feeling sad over a wasted life in watchtower

  by wannaexit in

  it's been 12 years since i first read ray franz's books and the scales came off my eyes.

  by that time i was in my forties.. since 2002 i went back to school and have worked with 3 very professional organizations.

  but my biological clock is ticking away and while my peers are looking forward to retirement, i am only beginning.

  To Joe134cd: glad you got completely out. It certainly is comforting to be part of group that share the same sentiments

  You are so right the pressure on kids is relentless. I see jw kids who are wasting their life, doing menial jobs to support their pioneering and not giving another thought to their future.

  I hate this organization for what it does to they youth

  Since 2002 I went back to school and have worked with 3 very professional organizations. But my biological clock is ticking away and while my peers are looking forward to retirement, I am only beginning. I still feel an overwhelming sadness when I reflect on the wasted years.

  The best years where I could have explored and developed my talents and creativity were spent in slavery to the watchtower. While my catholic cousins were getting degrees in school and climing the latter of success, I was trudging from door to door. Twenty years of pioneering. Twenty years I will never get back.

  I know that ruminating on the past is highly toxic and ineffective- but the sadness surfaces every once in a while.

  Thanks for listening

  this is my third year since i signed up on jwn and i wanted to do something a bit different--a slight unmasking of sorts and greet everyone face to face.

  even with the help of a few notes, this is rambling, raw, and by no means the best personal experience video out there.

  Mental Disorders among JW's

  by Blackfalcon98 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  hi everyone, im begining to notice patterns of mental issues in the congregations and among the witnesses as a group.

  do you think this is a trend in the entire world or is it exagerated in this organization?.

  There are many in the congregation that suffer from extreme anxiety and major depressive disorders. I blame the fact that going to a mental health professional was always looked down on. The only remedy for witnesses is to study and pray more. Unfortunately the two cannot replace medication and psycotherapy.

  I recently heard that half the sisters in bethel are on some sort of SSRI.

  I remember those articles well. the gb is such a bunch of ipocrities . Its a pattern with them that they always end up doing what they condemn
