friends

easy... skip it!.

but already i had people calling me asking where i was yesterday!!!!

the system the jw's have in place can be compared to a communist regime , where everyone keeps a check on each other.

Tell them you're showing symptoms of food poisoning... in advance!

Any Change In Your Donations Since Tithing Arrangement?

by jw07 in

at my hall the number of usual donations are currently at around 1/4 of what they usually are for the past 2 weeks!

time for another local needs part on donations.

The money I spend on travel from home and work to the queendom hall is so much more than enough as a donation!

this photograph from a news site is a succinct summary of a life in wt's hands....... look at their faces, it says it all.. also, note the watchtower pr machine in action, explaining that it brings 4 million dollars to the location.

(10,000 x 400 dollars) clearly a watchtower statistic, where is the care and interest for members who are struggling so much, with new videos encouraging less career activity, less work commitments, at an all time economic low for our generation.. http://www.standard-freeholder.com/2014/06/15/thousands-attend-watchtower-convention-in-cornwall.

Dad: We wrestle with the demons, son. What were you thinking?!

Caleb: Oh, I thought you had something else in mind.

Dad: Something in my mind? What is that?

Caleb: It's the element of a person that enables them to be aware of their world and their experiences. But, that's not important right now..

I'm afraid I'd be single for life

by ohnightdivine in

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?.

That is true, Apognophos.

On the other hand I try to think that he is looking at me as spiritually weak, and never a good marriage material.

What would be your favorite job if you could do anything.?

by new hope and happiness in

on the basis that most of us realise the w.t wasnt really the best " job" or way to spend our days, it would be fun to find out what people would really have liked to have done with there lifes and if this is still possible.

or maybe its not even a very realistic ambition just a dream.

in my dreams i stay at home all day and make a living from being a professional artist.maybe i need a phycholgist?.

Thanks again for all your warm and wonderful comments.

I am posting here again because one of the younger elders is now sending me messages asking how I am doing...

But you see, I've liked him for many years now. :(

Aside from TTaTT, one of the reasons that is sustaining me from going back to the meetings is to avoid the guy. Because when I see him, my fondness for him just keeps growing.

He is a very intelligent (have worked with him before), kind, and has that charm I cannot forget after all these years. My heart is quite torn. I haven't told him I liked him. But I want to see him.

Wow, never thought there'd be a lot of responses to what I wrote.

I'm having a little break time from work and I can't help but smile, feeling positive energy from all of you. :)

The society I grew up in is quite conservative and more family-centric (among my siblings, I'm the only one living alone) compared to western countries, hence this lingering doubt and fear.

However, as most of you have said, I am fortunate to be out (at least, mentally for now) without getting married to a JW. I need to work on my self-esteem issues. I'm quite the confident-type at work but hate myself over my physical attributes (weight).

Anyway, thanks a lot for all the cheer! Looking forward to better days..
