  What about praying NOW???

  by JNS2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  now that my decision to leave the organization is made, there is definitely a sense of relief.

  i know i'm leaving a controlling organization, not my faith in god.

  so i'm still praying at various times during the day, but it has become a very odd thing now.

  I think we all have experianced what you are going through. Don't worry, something will strike a chord within you and you will know it when it happens and you will either feel comfortable to pray or not to pray. I have found that I feel most connected to god is when I am in a truely beautiful place outside. When I am there outside it doesn't matter what gods name is because I can feel that connection. I think that all humankind is connected together to god and that not being connected is an illusion that we buy into, and as long as we live and breathe we remain connected. I have gone back to my Native American roots as far as worship is concerned and I do believe in the creator of all things seen and unseen. Maybe you need to do some inward search and see what is in there. Throw away the stuff that causes pain and negativity and get down to the REAL you. Ask god to help you feel connected...in time it will be apparent to you what is best for YOU and not what others think is right for you.

  Know about the WTS Religious Retreat Center?

  by Jourles in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  accidentally found this while searching for information on one of the society's shell corporations:.

  the ravine area was named after john teeter, who built a mill complex here, circa 1810. in his mill, mr. teeter was able to produce oil, flour, and grist.

  in the late 1800s, some areas near the ravine were used as a rock quarry.

  Very interesting Jourles but I thought it was common knowlege that the WTS bought a lot of reality for retreats and camp grounds for bethalites and their families to use..also houses to house those who are too elderly to work at bethel.

  I would like to see a bibliography from David Icke and see where he got his information. It is an interesting article, but would like to see more proof other than the pictures of the pyramid at Russells gravesite. Do you know where one could find such articles that links this stuff all together?

  Hugs!

  what to believe now?

  by christopherceo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is my first time posting here or on any ex-jw forum but i want to know if anybody else is not sure what to believe anymore.

  paradise on earth sounds great and it was drilled into me for 11 years, it's just kinda hard to shake.

  what about armageddon?

  My Dearest Chris.

  Remember when you were first introduced to the JW teachings and you found a lot of excitement and joy at what you first heard? Well, now you have a chance to explore and study and look into ANYTHING you want to. Just keep an open mind and don't be gullable. If something religous interest you look into it with a keen eye. Dig up the roots and deeply examine whatever it may be. You will be suprised at what you find out. On a more personal level, what ever it is that you decide to believe in will be your own, and it will be enjoyable because you won't have to feel guilty, fear or any other negativity. When the JW's tell you "where will you go to without the Society"...don't fall for it. There are lots of places to go in mind, heart and spirit.

  Hugs!

  by termite 35 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  dear everyone, my dad died suddenly and unexpectedly at the weekend.he did'nt turn up for a family dinner and my husband and i went to see if he was ok.he was dead.collapsed in his home.i can't stop shaking and i feel really sick.i've lost my mum and now my dad too.i wish i could sleep for months and wake when the pain has finished with me.

  it hurts so much .sorry to bring everyone down-but i'm stressed at having to sort out his arrangements due to the autopsy and funeral etc and the house and my feelings.

  ; i just wanted to tell you all as my husband's gone for a walk and the children are asleep and i'm feeling scared about viewing his body, but i know i'll have to and i feel guilty for feeling like that.stupid thoughts racing through my mind at the moment-need to 'hear' a friendly voice .
