  Need some advice :(

  by Nickey in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i'm in the middle of a heartbreaking moment and don't know who to ask or turn to.. i've been in a relationship for 7 years.

  most of it was long distance, but we still communicated through emails and phone calls and planned to visit each other until we could come together again.

  he left for new york last year and said he would try to start his own business and i would then plan on moving to be with him when we both finished school.

  Peace and security?

  by Nickey in

  i recently have a stumper in talking to my mother.

  she's agreed that she's going to be open minded and hear me out because she's starting to have slight doubts about the organization.

  but the one thing she always throws out is that the society said that there would be talks of "peace and security" and that they must be the truth since everyone keeps saying "peace and security".. i'm still learning myself, so i try to do some research.

  I'm so very depressed...

  lately, i've been really depressed at missing out on my life.

  from being pulled out of school in the 3rd grade to keep me away from the "worldly" kids.

  i was basically isolated.

  Need Help with Info Sheet

  by Nickey in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  my somewhat "inactive" mother says she's getting the feeling that i'm losing my faith in the wts and has asked me to explain to her.

  problem is, i locked up because it's been so recent and my mother can be quite intimidating.

  she's a "see it to believe it" person and has suggested that i show her proof.

  Did anybody get The Bell?

  by Nickey in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  during the thocratic school during our tuesday meetings, i dreaded hearing the bell.

  *ding* someone had run over 5 minutes and had to cut their talk short.. this part always disturbed me.

  nevermind the fact that these people worked hard to prepare their talk about something they felt was worthwhile, they have to be humiliated and cut off in front of the whole congregation.
