  How Long did it take you to re-build?

  by Scooby in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just wondering how long it took/ is taking many of you to rebuild your lives and say goodbye to phobias, etc.?.

  for those who grew up in the borg and don't have a point of reference to go back to....what have you done to create a new life free from that anguish to your mind?

  did a new religion help or therapy?

  Does Everybody turn our okay after leaving?

  by Scooby in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am curious... do you know some that have left the truth that become "worse" people?

  for years i would hear about some who left the truth and rumours how they are on drugs, in jail, etc.

  and many bros and sis would say, "you might as well go out in the world and do all the bad stuff..cuz you're dead at armaggedon!".

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just want to say that, if you can, try to talk to witnesses when they come to your door....don't give up.. a man i met in field service last year actually listened to what i had to say when i came to his door.

  what a sweet man!!!

  he then stood there for a whole hour with me and my friend and we talked about truth.
