Jw.com has it helped you?
by haujobbz in.
since i have been posting on this site i found a lot of posts interesting and vice versa,but i have also noticed that cetain ones on here arent helping themselves by continually looking at faults in their former beliefs,i find that this cant help you as a victim, im not saying i am not guilty of doing this i did do it at first but then realised it wasnt helping me overcome the trauma of my former beliefs, surely by trying to focus on the future and on how you can improve your state of mind maybe by self help books,counselling,and maybe speaking to ones on here who can possibly help you get through what they have been through, i mean surely you want to break free from the chains you used to be in.. dont get me wrong im not being harsh but only trying to help others,i mean jw.com is an open discussion forum to a degree,i also find it enjoyable on here,sometimes its not enjoyable because certain individuals are quite negative about views they dont agree on and i do expect that.. so has jw.com helped you or hasnt it.. are you addicted to this site and cant live without it.. also i do tend to take my previous beliefs lightly and have a joke about the things that were taught and went on,i try not to take it to serious at least im free from it and have my own mind that makes me so happy.

Apostate gatherings..go,or you are missing out
by LyinEyes ini really enjoyed the dallas, texas apostofest we went to this last weekend.
it is indescrible the feeling you get when you come face to face with others just like yourself.
it was very strange to find we all had such a common bond, that was spoken even with out words.

Do JW's count BBs and Chat Rooms as Service Time?
by alliwannadoislive inout of interest, i've just posted the following at: http://forums.delphiforums.com/flame1/messages which is frequented by a number of active jws.. general discussion - do jehovah's witnesses count time here ?
previous | next from: alliwannado 5:16 am to: all (1 of 1) 465.1 it's a genuine question - do jehovah's witnesses count the time they spend posting on bulletin boards or in chat rooms as service time ?
i guess it completely fits in with the definition of witnessing to non-baptised individuals about jehovah's kingdom.

WHY ARE OUR K.H's UGLY?
by plmkrzy indon't know how many here are from southern california.
some of the areas here are sectioned off like a canadian pizza (the few that i've seen cut into small squares).
it's because we have so many cities that are sooo conjested they have to build a ton of kh's in order to compensate.. i was just wondering how many besides me have noticed how much nicer the kh's (asuming they all look like this) are in the east in comparison tp the west?.
