JW morale reaching new low
by kneehighmiah in
1. jw
2. friends
many friends i've spoken with are becoming discouraged.

because of this it's becoming tempting to privately share my views with friends, but i know this is still too dangerous.

most witnesses in my circle are intelligent free thinkers.

i have been an active witness for over 25 years.

The grass is not always greener

i have posted only a couple of times and remain a little elusive.

it is not because i dont want to mingle but more when i want to post on a little of my story, the words i want to write seem to mass with events and moments that are so overwhelming i cannot function anymore.

i get so writing my post before my heart seems to shudder, i get a pain in my core that removes any words i want to write, and at this point i log off........ i am 31 and it seems like yesterday i was among my "best friends" in the congregation, tim, steve, and mark.

it's difficult to imagine how this video could be more disingenuous and hypocritical.

after learning ttatt attending meetings is real pain for me but have no option other then participate.

since many jw use mobile devices during meetings i use them too.

but instead of wt or bible study book i read apostate books like raymond franz books ,captive of concept etc.it helps a lot to survive 2 hours of boredom.
