  Been through so much!

  2. beliefs

  its been a while that i came here due to so many ups and downs emotionally.. :(.

  crazy that the family is so divided now that we cannot sit and talk (even though we pretend while attending meetings).

  all i can think is this line from hotel california - "you can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave"... love the family so much that dont feel like hurting them.. this is killing me.. regards, miss confused!.

  For the ones who believe in Bible - What does the scriptures here imply on subjection to religious leaders? - Hebrews 13:17-19, 22-25

  do we really need an organization and need to be in subjection to it as god always chose leaders (abhraham, moses, jesus, apostles)?

  what are your thoughts?

  how can you reason this out?.

  2. child-abuse

  so few days back i got a scary email about my fading.. just thought of playing a dumb and asking some 'interesting (which other-wise can be termed as foolish, as i care a darn)' question to that very person who just got aware of our fading..... ******************************start of the mail**********************************.

  i was reading this through and doing research in wt publications (jw.org), i was a bit confused on the article below.. who is the faithful and discreet slave?8.

  why is it fitting that the faithful slave be made up of anointed christians?.

  Need Help - Looks like some one in my family got to know that we are fading...

  by MissConfused in

  2. experiences

  letter from a close family member... need help responding.... what a powerful illustration of the affect that our choice of friends can have on us, especially if we leave jehovah after being 'raised' by him from infancy!.

  pack of wolvesthere was a farmer who raised sheep and had trouble with wolves stealing his sheep.

  he loved his sheep and didn't want to lose even one of them.

  The ones who participate in CONvention...is it all a load of hypocrisy?

  by MissConfused in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am talking about the ones who get special mentions or interviews or part in assemblies and conventions, they are usually stars of the congregation at least as acknowledged by boe.

  when i had interacted personally with these people, i did not find them special in any way.

  they neither reflected any true love for j, but were quite the very opposite and ambitious to be the best in "the organization", with very little humility.

  Nightmares when active JW

  by MissConfused in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i remember when i was active, i would constantly get nightmares regarding armageddon.. used to wake up so many times at night watch my window, pray hard and try to go to sleep.

  now i wonder that this organization was really succcessful in making people scared to death about 'current system of things', but why would anyone do that?

  why would anyone want to bring division in families, make hate speeches, scare people to death, etc?
