Influx Of Newbies (page 2)

I just recently started studying, so um....I don't know if there's an insider doctrine here. But um...so far, most people seem pretty nice, you know? Nobody's offered me drugs or immorality yet, so...I guess you folks are alright.

This is my rookie year, so...I still consider myself a newbie. And I consider myself welcomed. Joke.

Yes, let's welcome one another as Watchtowers say to do

If Christ died for his brothers, surely we welcome them too

So let us just believe all the So-ci-e-ty has said

For if we get independent, we might as well be dead

So....welcome one another as long as you haven't sinned

If that should happen, be assured, committees will begin!

So let us joyfully rejoice at happifying times

Yes, welcome one another in these joyful, final times

A Newbie I am: I was promised a "spiritual paradise" - no opressive wolves, no poisonous snakes - spiritually speaking, lets recap a few of the more memorable moments in this Spiritual Paradise:

Very early had to deal with jealous R&F over the job I had and came into as a JW
Daughter had to befriend her congregation friends who were living a double life, jealous, quick to tattle and mean - she had to give up friends that were genuine friends
When my daughter faced death (refusing blood) and had to stay at home, in bed for a year she was asked "what could she do for field service
During a serious family illness a CO politicked the body to have me removed because I was not handling illness properly
Had an elder interfere in family matters, job matters, etc - right up to my recent fade - wondered if he would give his life for me?
Constant calls over what I did say or did not say - whose hand I missed and whose I favoured
Passive rebellion by having some R&F keep their head down during my parts
Having to deal on Appeals with obvious dislike for a person
Stupid Rules
Jealusy, gossip and slander -but be the bigger person and forgive them. Nothing about dealing with the gosspi and slander.
CO's who took a dislike to you because you pointed out their position was not scriptually based
Seek and destroy investigation and JC's
Attacks on family for not being in the school or pioneering
Finding out that a family member who no longer is attending meetings was sexually abused by "someone" in the bathroom at the KH
A sister recieves greater punishment for immorality than her drunken beer drinking, violent video game seeking, out with the boys husband because there were no two witnesses to any of his actions
Lack of care - in two months since full fade - 1 call from a great R&F brother....so much for leaving the 99 and seeking the 1.

Whre is this promised spiritual paradise of his?

I do not miss one moment of this. I appreciate the honest and kind words recieved here and through PM's
