  why, exactly, are you here on jwd?.

  are you out of the jw's and still needing association with like people?.

  do you lack the skills to have real friends in real life?.

  Help needed.

  by KW13 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i always try and put a happy face on things, i am a happy person in many ways - i have a wife i love and a son on the way who i cant wait to meet but all the time something is wrong.. i suffer from depression and from time to time it gets me down and when i say down i mean down, maybe it was because i was at a really impressionable age but i became a jehovahs witness i found so much comfort in being in a giant bubble - i only appreciated some of the positive aspects of being a witness after leaving.

  i was told i'd not see the end of high school cos i'd be in a paradise, that i'd be a young boy leading animals etc and the simple fact is, the thought of death itself frightens me.. i find it hard to fit in the world properly, like a square where a circle should go.

  i stick out really badly in most situations, people detect always there is something 'different about me' despite my best efforts to hide it.. my coping mechanisms make me angry, frustrated and tired at the best of times and i just want to complete stage 2 of escape this cult.

  Finally!

  by JWdaughter in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we finally got the house on the market and within 8-9 days we had a offer.

  kind of lower than what we want, but in light of school starting in 1mo.

  and a very long commute not to mention the housing market.

  What happens to Christ after he subjects himself to God?

  by esw1966 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  1 cor 15:28 - when he has done this, then the son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that god may be all in all.

  what happens to jesus at this point?

  if he is part of a trinity, does he meld into god and disappear?

  Why is the least in the kingdom of heaven greater than John the Baptist?

  by esw1966 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  matthew 11:11 - i tell you the truth: among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than john the baptist; yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.. if all who hope in christ go to heaven, what makes us better than john the baptist?

  THIS IS MY STORY (And I'm Sticking To It)

  by snowbird in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i joined this forum on 1may2007 with a promise that i would tell more about myself as time went on.

  well, here goes.. i was born and raised in the black belt of alabama in wilcox county.

  it is supposedly called the black belt due to the color of the soil, but i have a strong suspicion it is also due to the fact that there is such a heavy concentration of black people in the dozen or more counties that make up the black belt.. my parents were sharecroppers which was simply a form of whitewashed slavery.
