i know there are some here that are going through some tough times.

some of you do not believe in god.

Hello all,

I was feeling a little down and reread this thread.

I would like to thank again everyone who helped me through my dark time.

I got so many useful and thoughtful suggestions and support.

As I reread my posts, I can see I have progressed and grown in many ways.

I am still on a journey of discovery, but now I know I have time to stop and smell the roses along the way and just"be" .

I hope others might benifet from some of the thought provoking comments and suggestions here.

Please feel free to add your experiences and view points.

With heartfelt gratitude

i have come to a startling and sad realisation!.

i have no real friends!.

i have always been extremely active in every aspect of the org, since childhood.

MissFit

@Joel: me too. I never was close to anyone except my childhood friend. And the her husband became a MS and I had to take a number to talk to her a meetings.

She once told me she wanted me to come to meetings because she missed me and needed me. I thought to myself: You know how to reach me.

What happens within the JW organisation?

by Sir cid fatos in

hey guys.

i don't know if you guys all know (depends how big this website is) that i have some jw friends.

i'm interested in their belief (luckily no desire to belief it :p) because it's kind of a mystery what really happens in a jw organisation.

MissFit

Hi. Welcome. Those are very broad questions.

The best thing for you would be to poke check out some of the posts here. There are many experiences here that will give you an idea.

What I like to do is click on to a poster and check out their previous posts.

Stick around and "listen" in.

If you have a specific question, feel free to ask.

by sowhatnow in

my son, at age 25 finally, was able to get accepted into a community college.

but i dont have words of joy to share with him.

im instead dizzy with fear of possible financial failure.

MissFit

Zeb. Thanks, so do you.

@Sowhatnow: just checking in to see how you are doing. Any updates?

Is your son all signed up and ready to go?

My wish for you is that you will be able to relax and find joy and pride in your son's quest for a better future.

Im thinking of you.

Thank you Lisa Rose. Your post really helped me.

Stuck:ditto. I understand what you are going through.

My childhood friend and confidant and I have drifted apart. I take part of the blame. I know her number, where she lives, ect. But I dont keep in contact. Does that make ME a conditional friend?

Thanks for posting this. It was funny. I did like the point that he made about them being so used to doors slamming in their faces that they would appreciate a genuine conversation with someone.

TO THE STUPID ATHEISTS:

by atheist_R_stupid in

being that this is not "ex jws" and in fact, more driven by atheists talking a bunch of crap, im not even going to address you people like you know anything about jws because you dont.

nor am i going to assume you know the bible because none of you do.. and yes, im speaking down at you all because you men have actually went out your way to make a site to speak down at an entire group of people.

yet i bet you cant even handle a single uswer talking down at you, like you talk down about jws can you?.

MissFit

Prologos: Guilty as charged. I believe in letting different voices be heard, I really do. However, if I was having dinner with someone and they were deliberately being obnoxious by starting a provoking subject without the slightest intention of listening to other's viewpoints, I would try to change the subject.

ARS had no intention of a give and take.

Besides if you read the posts about food intently you would discover it wasn't about the food.

Rather keeping an open mind and being open to unexpected discoveries.

Dear typer-ers, you're doing it wrong!

by Simon in

there are many things wrong with the world, many injustices and crimes committed.

what if we could stop one of them?

wouldn't it make the world a slightly better place?

MissFit

Brock: WHY? I like using ( ...). 😤It is hard enough to remember not to space twice after a period.

What do you do if you want to emphasise something???(I figure if one is good more than one must be better.)😉
