    Hi everyone!

    I'm a new one here. I'm still inside because of family, friends... all my life is there. I used to have doubts (one year ago) but now I only have certainties about the org. Another reason for staying, at least for now, is I'm living at home with my JW mother and she allowed me to go to college.

    I seem to everyone in the congregation a normal witness but when I sit down in the meetings I DO know 99% what I listen to is just the same failed prophecies and doctrines repeated always in the same way.

    I'm now being "persuaded" to accept my appointed as a MS. Though I'm not doing nothing special to get it, I'm serving in a foreign language territory simply because I couldn't hold on with the pressure of my family and elders from my congregation. So I decided to move to a more "liberal" congo.

    I can speak the language better than some local MS & even elders and they haven't a lot of brothers to choose from because this kind of congregation (at least in my area) are full of women.

    Do you think are there a lot of similar cases of brothers not believing but still inside?

    Welcome New one,

    I understand your position, no pressure from me

    I like talkin' to the ones still in, they keep us in the know

    also their are questions that I ask the ocassional witness

    that drop by, they promise to come back with answers

    but I'm guessing that after talkin' with someone in authority

    they don't return, that's just my guess, especially scince I

    used to study with them and can show them the just what

    I'm talkin' about . it really throws them off

    Hello hijosdelawatch and welcome to the forum! I think there are many people hiding within the walls of the Kingdomhalls, but getting a count is impossible at the moment.

    Welcome to the forum.

    Your job right now is to study, study, study and make the most of this opportunity in college. Your self-esteem will soar and doors will be open to you that would not have been previously.

    There will be time in the future for decisions. Right now, if the assignments in the KHall take too much time to prepare, don't accept them. Your degree comes first. Try to get involved in organizations on campus that will allow you to meet people.

    Hola HijosDeLaWatch,

    Mi experiencia es muy similar a la tuya. My experience is very much like yours.

    Por ahora, quedate adentro y conviertete en un espia si lo puedes aguantar.

    For now, stay inside and turn into a spy if you can stand it.

    Trata de siempre dar gloria a nuestro Salvador, Jesucristo.

    Always try to give glory to our Saviour Jesus Christ.

    Si tienes fe en que Jesus es el Cristo, Messias,

    tienes vida en ti y eres hijo de Dios no de la Watch.

    If you have faith that Jesus is the Messiah, the Christ,

    you have life in you and are a child of God not the WTB&TS.

    Cuidate mi hermano. Quedate con Cristo.
