I've told hubby I don't believe it's the true religion...
by cognac inwell, i've told him "i don't believe this is the truth" like, 5 times now, just "i don't believe this is the true religion" tonight... don't know if there is any difference.... i get the feeling he thinks this "will just go away" although the other day he said he understood why i was depressed because "i'm deserving of death" and he would be too.
he didn't mean it, he's not happy on my new take on the jws.... anyways, i figure i'm gonna say everything i feel in front of the therapist, i need to tell him everything in front of a mediator... not just in a situation where he just thinks this thing will go away and can hurt me to guilt me into believing in the jws....

Issues That Made You ANGRY While You Were A Jehovah's Witness
by minimus inwhen i look back, i think of some things that really angered me about the organization.
i was raised as a witness and i was taught from a very early age that "reaching out" was the most important things i could do in life.
i was to reach out for "privileges" and get baptized.

What do JW's do to help the poor & needy at this time of year, or ever?
by Must obey! injust about every church i know of does something for the poor and needy around this time of year, who are not necessarily christians or members of their church.
from helping prisoners to delivering food hampers to visiting the lonely and elderly to helping poor people and children overseas, most churches i'm aware of do at least something to materially help the suffering in the community, home and abroad, regardless of their religious orientation.
many of these churches have programmes providing such assistance all year around, even many catholic churches.. but what do the jw's do to actually practically help the suffering and poor at this time of year, or ever?
