Farewell from Confused and Alone

by confusedandalone in

i use to hate when people who made goodbye posts on message boards.

why would they think that just because you no longer post on a chevy truck forum or a los angeles lakers forum the world would crumble around those still left there.

this place is definitely different.

Makes utter and total sense Confused and Alone.. I wish you all the best in your life. Go live it.

Peace.

i don't mean you advised them and they changed their lives around, kind of saving a life.. i mean right before your eyes, right now, you had to do something to save a person or they would be dead.. how did it make you feel?

did it have any affect on you?.

forty years ago i was working on a construction site and a back-hoe had loosened a large boulder.

Yes.. my own about maybe times.

What is your biggest gripe with the WT and it's teachings?

as the title says, please list what you find annoying with the organization..

I was just thinking.. How can one have a biggest gripe about the Watchtower? That's like asking: "What's your biggest gripe about the Taliban".

There can be no biggest gripe when every single thing about the Watchtower is so completely twisted and wrong. I for one can not think of a single truely positive thing to say about the Watchtower organisation. So if I am forced to choose.. I guess one could say my biggest gripe is that they exist at all.

I have suffered from what might be termed insomnia my entire life. I can remember being 4 and 5 years old and being the only one awake the entire night of my 2 brothers and 1 sister who all slept in the same room. My mind has been highly active for as long as I can recall. I have just learnt to treat it like a hyper curious and playful dog that has way too much energy. Unless I give it plenty of physical and mental exercise it will simply not lay down and sleep when it comes to bed time.

So I try to ensure my body and mind both get good satisfying workouts each day and now at night sleep no longer eludes me.

i recently logged into one of my many duplicate social media accounts.

i had a large amount of friend requests from congregation members.

the account is blank and i want to make it seem as though i am an active user.

I would never bother with anything on FaKebook. It's a fake place to have fake friends.

Why can't I create new topics and how can I edit my profile picture and signature?

by tunnistaja.ee in

the topics i create just dissapear and i can see no "edit profile" or "settings" anywhere.

any hints?.

Dis-Member

Might be a long wait.. you can't change your email, your own password, edit your profile, you old posts, your avatar, you can't delete your personal sent or received messages, you can't change your avatar, in fact you have no control over anything in this forum at all. You can't do anything really. You also can't even get answers to questions.

For that reason many have decided to just creat whole new accounts and abandon old ones. Makes complete sense.

Jws are not supposed to be NATIONALISTIC....right?

by stuckinarut2 in

so, 'we' as jws are not supposed to be nationalistic or promote individual countries or cultures over another....isn't that correct?.

so, why do witnesses love to have "international" conventions where we see delegates all proudly wearing the stereotyped clothing of their native lands?.

arent witnesses supposed to be part of gods nation, separate from the world, speaking the "pure language"?.

Dis-Member

There is a difference between displaying culture and displaying nationalism. Nationalism can contain all that nasty negative politics.. culture can be a simply a colourful dress or a skirt made of grass.

i can't seem to find the option anyhere.

Dis-Member

Thanks FatFreek for the reply. I don't seem to be able to change my registered email either which might be a problem as I have now deleted that account.

Admin here does not seem to respond to technical support too often so I guess new account creation it will have to be then.

Everybody is doing it !

by new hope and happiness in

postmen, accountants, window cleaners, pop-songers- even you!

yes these days everybody - and anybody - seem to be leaving the jehovers witnesses.so why should you be left out?.

there was a time when you had to have performed some terrible service to the g.b?

Dis-Member

Yup..

Walked out the week before the 2013 memorial. Deprogramming going very very well. Do I miss any aspect of it? No. How can you miss what is not real.

Any regrets? Only a few. That I allowed the Witness 'education program' to utterly destroy any possible faith in any and all other religions, religious teaching or lifestyles and that they have single-handedly all but entirely caused me lose faith in the Bible itself and didtance me from God himself.

That I allowed their system of thinking to cause me to hold off on getting married and having children. There is the possibility that the second part can shortly be remedied.
