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

My mother forced me and my siblings to study and when I started college I still went but sparingly. She isn't very involved in the religion and anyone who could try to force me to dunk, wasn't that big of an influence on me to make me do it. I've always had my reservations about this religion and wasn't very sold on it.

I like being able to see how it works in JW world here cause even though I went to KH, I never involved myself so I never "progressed" and I didn't know how it was socially. I didn't have any friends.

Hey Searcher. That makes a lot of sense. I was never involved in the congregation like that so I was never privy to anything going on. Before this site, I would think the families are perfect and well and so are the couples. Now....well I can only hope those kids and adults are okay.

Oh okay. I just asked cause I've read more than a few stories about elders who wanted to step down but didn't because their wives loved being elderettes and I was just wondering why. thank you :)
