  hey you all, i'm honestly pretty depressed on my own out there.

  it's quite terrifying being on your own out there in a lone wolf kinda way.

  i'm not sure how much my brain can tolerate this mest up feeling of social abandonment caused by the borg and family.

  Hello

  by BoogerMan in

  not a lot to say, except that i studied with jw's then gave up when i realised it wasn't the truth as they call it.. the ordinary jw's are generally nice people, but their elders are mostly little dictators from what i saw.

  look forward to meeting people here who are less judgemental..

  All people are flawed and you have look past all that and your personal self and sacrifice that you give.Not what others are doing that is just peing being petty.

  So are you saying that so long as you look past other peoples flaws, it doesn't matter what religion you belong to then? Are JW's being petty when they criticize other religions and their leaders?
  

  Please tell us what the truth is as you say?

  He didn't say what the truth was or that he had found it. He said that in his opinion JW's don't have THE truth as they claim to. To me, just the fact that they claim to be God's modern day Israelites and his earthly organization, is proof enough for most. After all, how can one possibly prove something like that?

  US Letter Read Sunday 4/26 at Meeting - No KH Use and No Field Service Indefinitely

  by JWTom in

  2. friends

  there was a letter read sunday at our meeting that mentioned some parts of us are starting to open back up.

  however, regardless of things opening up that no kingdom halls should be used for any meetings of any kind.

  also, no door-to-door ministry or any form of in-person ministry is allowed.

  I'm guessing there will be a lot of JW's who will realize that they like not having to go to meetings and their lives won't necessarily fall apart if they don't go. They might find that they've been away from the indoctrination long enough that when they do finally go back, they'll be seeing things with new eyes and the whole thing will seem weird to them.

  Do You Think It’s Time For Businesses To Reopen Even Though Coronavirus Is Not Obliterated?

  I'm afraid opening things up again, too soon, will be like when you're taking antibiotics. If you stop taking them when you're feeling better instead of taking the whole bottle until it's empty, the infection will come back even worse than it was originally and is much more difficult to kick.

  Yeah....it's pretty lonely at times (especially now) when you leave the group. That's why most stay with it even when it isn't making sense to them.

  Right now with the covid19 distancing everyone is feeling a lot like what you're feeling but at least they know they can go back to their regular life once it's over.

  In regard to your life vs death feelings, you're not the first person to feel that way nor, unfortunately will you be the last. You are in emotional pain and it's natural for you to want it to stop. Like most people you really want to live but you want the pain to stop and you don't have the skills YET to know how to go about it.

  What you're going through now is kind of like physical exercise, you can't get stronger until you go through the pain and strain. No one can do it for you but they can encourage you to keep going and help you remember that everything is difficult before it becomes easy.

  It may be helpful to stop looking back on how things were in your old life and comparing them to how things are now. It's too soon for that. We tend to look back on things and remember them better than what they really were. At the same time it may be helpful not to look to far into the future into the unknown. Right now odds are you won't be able to come up with anything hopeful about the future right now because there are too many unknowns. Looking too far into the future will make you feel worried and hopeless.

  Try to stay in the moment as much as possible and trust that if you put one foot in front of the other and keep your nose pointed toward the things you want and your mind off of the things you don't want, you will get where you want to be.

  Get a notebook and when you catch yourself worrying or ruminating on negative thoughts, write them down and write out a few possible solutions and two or three things you can do tomorrow to move you closer to where you want to be. Put the notebook aside and resist thinking about those things and find comfort in the fact that you have a plan for tomorrow, no matter how small it may seem.

  It's good that you reached out to us here, most of us have been where you are at some point and have make it through to the other side.

  Be patient with your self through this and try to remember that even though it feels like it, your life isn't an emergency. You are not responsible for having all of the answers all of the time. Happiness isn't like a bus stop that you arrive at one day and there you are. It comes in moments and hours and stretches of time both short and long. The more you're able to roll with the punches and adjust to change, the more of it you'll experience.

  This is a weird time in history with all that's going on so your struggle is extra difficult right now. There are professional services out there who are now more than ever making themselves available by phone or internet to those who find themselves struggling. Take advantage of them. Keep talking and reaching out. Be helpful to others, reach out to someone in need. Often when we help someone else, we are benefited most. Avoid watching the news....go on a news fast. Make sure to get outside and take a walk for an hour each day so that you can gain a little perspective on life. Keep checking in here and let us know what's going on or ask for advice about specific areas you need help with.

  You can stand just about anything if you take it an hour at a time.

  i got an email from a guy i know in the porn industry.

  his specialty is foot fetish stuff and it turns out two jehovah's witnesses who happen to be cousins stopped by his door.

  he told them he has a foot fetish and asked if they would allow him to video their feet.

  Maybe your problem is masturbation. LOL!

  That would apply to an over-whacking generation rather than a generation that overlaps

  A Question: How About Praying for -or Including a Mention of - Covid-19 First Responders?

  It seems to me a JW might think that praying specifically for God to help a non JW group would be a conflict of interest. They believe what’s happening is meant by God to take place and is justice being meted out to a wicked world. They’d only pray for Gods help and guidance to be directed toward the JW organization to wisely take advantage of whatever Satans world has to offer them in the way of assistance. Gods help is only for them. The rest of the world is being guided by Satan.

  The Myth About Jehovah as a "GOD of LOVE".

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i`ll list a few things and welcome any input, comments you may have .. 1.when adam & eve "sinned" disobeyed him, surely god could have handled it better than to condemn all future generations to disease and death ?.

  2.his handling of satan who supposedly seduced eve to disobey god could also have been done a lot differently with a finality to it.. 3.i find little if anything in his dealings with the patriarchs that suggests a loving god protecting them.?.

  4.taking on the nation of israel and leading them as his chosen people does not inspire confidence or trust as a god of love.. 5.throughout the hebrew scriptures / old testament his chosen people were constantly at war with other nations which of course would have meant many deaths of the israelite`s during these battles .and the grief that comes with family members in those times.

  There are any number of individuals,groups,organizations and nations today who have convinced themselves that there is a God and that they are his chosen ones and that their every move is of significance to him and the universe.

  I believe it was no different in “ bible times” and it’s writers were just as deluded about the existence of God and his supposed views on matters. This is evident from the fear based nonsensical tall tales and convoluted and unscientific explanations regarding the origins of the earth and mankind.
