Echoing all the supportive comments - get help, counseling, and learn the truth about 'The Truth' (hint - it's a lie!). There is nothing wrong with being gay, NOTHING. It is nature.

As for "Jehovah", he has a lot of crimes to answer for, including torturing his faithful servant Job, just to settle a bet with Satan! Forget about him, and do some research. : )

Also, are you having safe sex? PLEASE do not expose your spouse to STDs. That would be so very wrong. If you are 'on the down-low' and not using condoms, your wife is at risk, too. ** edit - I see you are now separated, but still, get tested.

The Law of Unintended Consequences

by Londo111 in

the governing body/watchtower unduly influences millions into extreme beliefs and behaviors.

and i suspect folks like anthony morris thinks his flock is not obedient or strict enough and there are many rules and teachings the governing body would love to enact but do not have the votes, or even they have the sense enough to know it would go too far.

however, i can’t help how by the time their edicts filter down to the rank and file jw, it causes unintended consequences.

DIsfellowshipping is a great anti-witness. All who have become close to me, hate the religion, and spread the word about the sexism, child abuse (including child martyrs) and shunning.

they said we are all the same in god’s eyes.

that everyone is equal.

to prove this they call everyone “brother and sister.” sadly, this really isn’t the case.

Peony,

You're right, I'm sorry. I can't walk in your shoes, or know the pressure. Can't imagine being a JW wife, let alone an elder's, having left at 18. But this is not about me - once again, my sincere apology. xx

i've compiled the above into .mp3 below:.

Mixed tapes are what you give a friend for Xmas. A playlist is what a DJ or a band has for a gig, and always has been.

It's a great playlist for a party, and the last 3 songs are kinda interesting... quite the 'theme' going on. Note that at the end of the party .... The Thrill is Gone. lol!

Strategy for Mixed CD or tape: 2 fast and 1 slow, as musicians do, you mix it up so the audience doesn't get bored. xx

I want to go on a working holiday visa to australia, im 19 years old and cannot hold my focus in uni because i was depressed but now mended

by AmIright in

so i finished my final year and was forced to attend university even though i was in a crippling depression in my final year, dropped out but attained a high enough mark to get my first choice in uni.

long story short, i wanted to go travelling before uni to broaden my perspective and for a chance to be free and travel australia.

however i'm only 19 with experience in mostly farming and small company manufacturing i don't think i would be equip to get a job to sustain my travel.

September is when students flood the cities and take all the part time jobs, so you may do better another time of year. OTOH, there are always wait-staff, line chef and dishwashing jobs to be had in restaurants. It's not like you are looking for career experience. There are also temporary employment agencies, where you can get day-labour.

Do you live in a Commonwealth nation? If you do, you can get a special youth working visa for Australia, England, Canada, and other Commonwealth nations for 1 or 2 years, depending on the country, as long as you are 29 or under. DO IT!

I sat in there and watched a poor sister with about 4 children struggling to find seats...she looked close to tears. Her face lit up when she saw all these empty rows in the Royal Box........Trouble is eagle eyed attendant saw her making a bee line and raced down to the opening to stop her getting in! (Too unworthy) She burst into tears, it was awful...

Wow, I bet she was happy when you rushed down to help her! Right?

after reading the content of the 1 day assembly on another post, please tell me wt are trying to suggest members cant follow super hero movies/characters etc.

the whole of my ex family wouldnt have a life if this happened!

surely a wake up call for them....... but doubt it

And just like fashion, 'what's old is new again'.

In the 60s/70s comic books were forbidden, except for Archie. That's why I never had any of the Batman (who, by the way, has no 'super powers').

Wonder Woman would be, I suppose, like 'nephilim', considering she is Amazon/Goddess. ; )

Has Anybody Hear a Rumour That Prince Died?

by cofty in

why do people care so much about celebrities?

talesin

If a 'celebrity' dies, it's no biggie to me. If a talented songwriter and musician dies, there are always people whose hearts have been touched by their music. Most people find some music that expresses their emotions - it's about empathy. Not a quality that everyone shares, I guess.
