  do any of you sometimes experience difficulty in shaking wt teachings?

  like it intrudes in your daily life and thought and some things that may be alright, now you feel as if they're wrong or you plain just don't know.

  i know the wt is a lie but i haven't lost my faith in god, i know he's there but it's hard knowing whats the right thing to do.

  I've been studying/involved with the witnesses ever since I was 15 and I'm about to turn 20 this month, so its been about 5 years. Since I've been at college, I've been taking in as much knowledge as I could and to be honest it feels great :) I love this forum for the freedom its given me

  @Heaven See, I always knew there was something up with them because it seemed like no one was good enough, you always had to do more and work harder but I really appreciate the advice. If it weren't for the Armageddon thing, I know I wouldn't be feeling this way.

  @fastJehu The elder book doesn't say DF happens when someone celebrates a Bday? What happens then? Not because I'm still in there, I'm just curious.

  @Jgnat Thanks for advice. I guess the hardest part os to rebuild anew

  @Jon That is the worst part, especially since good friends are hard to find.

  @punkofnice I can understand the "cannot believe in God" part. Sometimes I feel that exact same way and then I feel SO BAD and I generate hate towards the Watchtower and the organization cause they might have forever ruined that for me.

  I've always had a sense of faith in God due to my environment but it really came alive when I started studying with the Witnesses but I think it was mostly through fear. Now, I'm trying to rebuild my knowledge and keep faith but its a constant struggle each day. The whole Satan is going to get me thing wears on me and its hard to shake it. I don't trust anything or anybody. I go on JW facts to read and it helps but the fear and emotions are still there. Thank you for the links, I'm going to check them out.

  Do any of you sometimes experience difficulty in shaking WT teachings? Like it intrudes in your daily life and thought and some things that may be alright, now you feel as if they're wrong or you plain just don't know. I know the WT is a lie but I haven't lost my faith in God, I know he's there but it's hard knowing whats the right thing to do. For all of you who still hold the faith in God, do you celebrate birthdays or holidays? If you do, how were you able to see it was okay outside of the watchtower influence? And for relationships, I'm totally lost, I know premarital sex is a no-no but as far as everything else, how its suppose to go, I'm completely lost. And for careers, I don't know how to even go about that, WT tells you to stay low to the ground, and I although it may feel wrong, I still feel bad about trying to shoot for the Stars. Idk if I'm asking too much from you all but I'd love to hear your opinions and advice on this. I feel so lost. Also, how were you able to shake the "the end is near", "armageddon", fear from your life? Again, any advice and opinion would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  Hi Guys :) I'm glad you all are posting.

  @out4good did they plan that or something? Did they get the wife and MS DF just so they could be together?

  @LisaRose I get it. When I first started going to KH, I was surprised to see that women basically held no rights or positions other than to preach to other young women. I also hate that women can't wear dress pants.

  @Justvisiting Although I never went into FS, I could believe that
