  How many of you followed the WTS direction on education years ago and have been screwed by it?

  by Julia Orwell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm really interested in this question because i've heard for years that if you forgo further education and go pioneering, when you have a family down the track you will get a good job because jehovah will provide for you because you pioneered.

  as long as i was a kool-aid drinker, even then, i thought, "how does pioneering pay your bills?

  surely education should come first.

  Village idiot, I dont think it is ever too late. Why you still have a good 20 or 30 years that you could use to pursue your passion.

  Why dont you check about some courses?  You might be able to get some grants or scholarships.

  Welcome lonelyone, WOW, only 27. I am sorry your life has been nothing but pain so far.  It really is hard watch  someone you care about struggle.

  I had a hard time understanding your post. I know English must not be your first language.  

  I can tell you are very concerned about your friend and you have limited options.  

  I think you need more practicable advice than trusting in God's healing.

  Hopfully your friend can get professional help to realize life is worth living. Rebel is right- give your friend a listening ear but go  easy  on the God stuff.

  If he was a JW then, he no doubt feels unworthy of God in this life and may think if he kills himself he will wake up in paradise.

  I repeat he needs professional help.

  Hi Julia, wow. I checked out some of your paintings. You are very talented.  

  Maybe the reason you did not do great at your other job is that your heart isn't in it.  Your passion is art.  My wish for you is that you can some how make a living doing something you love.

  Your art is worthwhile, and a noble legitimate pursuit,  not just a hobby.  

  Good for you for actively getting help.  The world will be a poorer place without your artistry.  Your work deserves a spot light.

  Sir Cid, I am sorry I just saw this thread about your grandpa.  You have my deepest sympathies.  Were you very close? I never met either of mine.  I hope you have some nice memories. Feel free to share them if It isn't too painful.

  About your JW friends, I agree with Gone, your friends were being respeaceful by not preaching to you.  They are socially awkward.

  Feel free to ask us anything that confuses you about them. You will get honest answers here,  not the party line.

  If you don't believe in God where do you get the strength to cope?

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

  some of you do not believe in god.

  some are not sure.. i was told recently by a friend to pray to god for help and he would comfort me.. my first impulse is to pray.

  Welcome Violias, thank you for responding. I am sorry you had unhappy experiences with your mother.  My sisters were always bitter about my mom not keeping us.  I always felt she let us go out of love.

  Unfortunately,  the couple she entrusted us with turned out to be abusive. The foster dad sexually abused my sister for years until I found out and helped her come foreward.

  I am glad you have found a path that is satisfying to you.

  DJS: Thank you for your response.

   I updated this thread because I want to keep a record for me as I document my journey.  It is interesting to look back and see how my perspectives have changed since I have distanced myself from the ORG.

  JW TV is the reason for the hysteria in the KH

  by campaign of hate in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you, like me, have noticed the sudden increase in hysteria in the khs right now, i put it down to that jw tv site.

  its's far more extensive than i thought it was, i thought it was just 1, 1 hour program a month.

  there's a s*** load of videos on that site.. and the real problem, from just watching a clip from each video, is that these guys are clearly "mentally unstable".

  UFCFFan welcome: we are here if you need to vent. Smiddy is right, if you are under age and depending on  your parents, grit your teeth and and comply out of respect for them.

   There are many adults here that are going through the motions and complying because they don't want to lose their spouse or family.  

  So even as adults we are sometimes forced into doing things we dont like to keep the peace.

  Use this time now to make a plan for a non JW future if that is what you want.

  Many here can give you great advice.

  Why don't you start a thread about yourself and your struggle and frustrations?

  Just remember you still need to respect your folks but you can practice thinking for yourself. 

  Ps what do your folks think of the broadcast?
