  I'm afraid I'd be single for life

  by ohnightdivine in

  2. relationships

  this is quite embarrassing for me to share, but as a 30+ year old single female i have lingering doubts as to whether i can still meet a decent man and get married.. you all know how difficult it is for sisters to find an appropriate partner in the congregation.. and now, all the more so that i've learned ttatt.

  i still am bound by low self-esteem, and i do have trust issues, especially with men.

  i am very lonely and so i just keep myself busy with work to avoid depression (although it is also a great source of stress).. any other single females out there having similar thoughts?.

  Thank you all for your responses. I'd have to agree that I need to love myself first.

  I just tried eHarmony. After spending 15 minutes answering numerous questions, I got an "I'm sorry but we could not find any match for you."

  Aww, I think I have too much time today. Must... log off...

  i was baptized in 1968. last meeting 2010. i have to say i was never 100% in.

  there were times i absolutely believed, but i never really gave it my all.

  never liked service, assemblies, meetings.

  100% for a few days... most of the time it was only around 75%.

  Not a born-in. Longed for friendship / companionship.

  The teachings were just too "radical" for me.

  How to find joy in the ministry, according to one elder

  by ohnightdivine in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  he said that having a goal is the most important, since we do not want to waste our time and become depressed when going out in the ministry.. and what else could be better than setting a goal to, say, distribute xx number of magazines during that day?!.

  in this way we could feel contented and joyful in service.. .

  how profound!

  During the talk I was so upset I couldn't hide my disgust and kept on sighing. That elder especially talks and sounds intelligent but this time again,

  "encouraging" people, mostly adults with that meaningless talk is beyond my comprehension.

  "Distribute more magazines, and be happy!!! If you're not happy with that, something is wrong with you." Something like this, right?

  That's what he said. How profound! I am so grateful for this timely reminder from the publishing corporation! ;)

  There really is no other way to keep my sanity these days but to avoid the meetings as frequently as possible..

  Or just browse the internet through my mobile while the guy is delivering a stupid talk for 35 mins.

  No. It was never fun.

  Open-air facility with hard benches that made my butts hurt from sitting the entire day.
