  Depressed

  hi, i'm wondering what the best way to get over depression is.

  i've been in a black hole for 3 months now and every damn day is a battle just to get out of bed.

  i've been faded for awhile now and so i lost most all the jw friends that i had in that transition.

  Idiot work mates

  i don't really understand why some people can be such idiots.

  how can people dismiss every other person's religion or belief as illogical while holding strong to their own illogical beliefs.

  i work with a few bush worshiping ultra conservatives.

  has anyone here ever tried to tread lightly until a certain date just so you won't screw up someone else's event by getting disfellowshipped or speaking your mind and getting shunned?.

  i'm just wondering because my brother is planning on marrying a witness girl next spring.

  the date is set and he's asked me to be best man.

  something has been bothering me as of late.

  my younger brother, who is 17 years old plans on getting married right after he turns 18 this upcoming year.

  i have quite a few problems with this, but he thinks that he knows it all at his age.. i'm concerned for several reasons.

  Fitting In

  by Descender in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  did anyone else have a hard time fitting in with non-witnesses when you left the witnesses?

  i never had a hard time fitting in with witnesses since i grew up as one, i was always popular in witness circles and could usually strike up an easy conversation with someone as long as i knew they were a witness.

  but i just can't find any common points of interest with anyone anymore since i've been disfellowshipped twice and then finally faded away a year and a half ago.

  2. friends

  have any of you had a similar occurrence when you were a witness as this?

  i was 18 years old and had taken a trip with my witness buddies to new york.

  one of them had been drafted into bethel and we decided to go along to tour the place and visit new york and patterson.

  Disfellowshipped

  by Descender in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just wondering, how many of you were a glutton for punishment and kept on going back and getting re-instated after succesive disfellowshippings?

  i was disfellwshipped twice, the first time i was re-instated six months after and then six months later i was df'd again, then i came back in 4 years later and then a year later i faded away.

  that's where i stand at the moment.

  Question I haven't seen yet

  by Descender in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is my first post, i've been reading the board for a few months now and i must say it's rather addicting.

  anyway, back to the topic of my post.

  i was wondering how many, if any of you went out with a bang, like on a sunday morning meeting while you were giving a talk, or maybe while you were giving a #2 or #4 talk on the ministry school.
