  Feeling Alone. Need Emotional Support.

  by Doubtfully Yours in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  please chime in if you're one of my kindred spirit that happens to literally be trapped in due to strong family/friends ties, or plain fear of being abandoned in old age.. although leaving the org is my ultimate wish and desire, fear of the unknown, fear of how it would change my family dinamics, plain fear alone paralyzes me.

  how do you cope in this difficult situation?

  anyone watching these interesting reports on several world religions?

  on its third episode now.

  Environmentalists? Not Necessarily, Helping Nonetheless....

  by Doubtfully Yours in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  whether the average jw appreciates it or not (i certainly do not), the wtbts sure is helping in the environmentalists' movement of creating as much a paperless society as possible in order to preserve trees and create other favorable situations for humanity, such as avoiding so much trash and chemical waste involved in the printing/shipping process.. in order to help me adjust to this new phase within the org, i've reasoned it all this way.

  anybody else recognizes that this going all out electronic/computerized is, of course, first a most profitable effort, but also has a secondary benefit of helping out to preserve the environment.......?!.

  New Bible, In Spanish.... Why taking so long?!

  by Doubtfully Yours in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  is it possible it's not like they initially said, that it was just having god's name added in places where it had been deleted, and that perhaps they're making more adjustments to it in order to fit our doctrine?.

  come out with the freakin' new bible in spanish already!!!.

  New Spiritually Weak Label: Not Using Tablet/iPhone

  by Doubtfully Yours in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  with last night's meeting it became official: here in the states is a must to keep up with 'jehovah's org' that one fully jumps on board with this tablet/iphone crap.. so, now, all of us that up to this point have refused to follow the wtbts in their electronic/wireless revolution will deal with the browbeating from the 'spiritual' ones.. already receiving lots of grief from hubby and rest of the family/close friends when seen at the meetings with paper publications.

  damn it!!!

  am i alone in this resistance???!!!.

  Story of God - Morgan Freeman

  by Doubtfully Yours in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  i'm hooked on watching "the story of god, with morgan freeman".

  it's fascinating to watch the different faiths throughout the world, the rituals, how devout the followers are.

  mind boggling for sure!

  Returning

  by Doubtfully Yours in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was a member of this community a long time ago and have lurked for years.

  well, i am back and still thoroughly conflicted, with my heart/loyalties as divided as ever.

  please welcome me back, hear me out, and make me feel as welcomed as before.. the wtbts has changed so very much in recent years that i feel trapped in a completely different religion altogether.

  Reply From Co-worker - Feel Excellent Moment!

  by Doubtfully Yours in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so, there we all are in the break room in my place of work, and the topic turns to the holiday shopping madness.

  this co-worker starts to say how expensive this holiday season has been for him and that he's still not done, and too bad when the day comes the family members will find fault or something else wrong with his gifts, and to make things worst, that the wife also was purchasing gifts with his credit card so he feared the january statement.. so, i jokingly told him that one way he can remedy that is by telling his family that he's been studying the bible and that he won't be celebrating christmas this year as he's studying to become a jw.

  they all laughed loudly and the guy, second by others in the room, told me that i just didn't know how good i had it being a jw this time of the year.
