  Jw.com has it helped you?

  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.

  I personally have found it a great help to realise that you are not alone, and that people have exactly the same experiences as myself.

  It can come across that some are obsessed with our old personal beliefs but lets face it, we were obsessed before! Also we are all on different parts of our journey to full realisation of what we had been involved in.

  I would like to say a big thank you to all those I have talked to in the chat room esp Vivamus and all those who have posted me direct.

  You have got to remember that I know that I personally was devastated when I was chucked out as I thought I was dead as far as God would see. But others including Da_Luvvin_Bravva and others have helped me to see that he still luvs us all.

  Hi,

  I always happen when you least expect it. Some days it hurts, and somedays you feel sorry for them. What gets me, is you know when you are spotted they go back and tell everyone and everyone always asks what do they look like?? (Cause they ain't got much to do ya know) So you can always guess it will happen when you have got no makeup on and your hair isn't it's best!

  Message to: Da_Luvvin_Bruvva and Da_Luvvin_Sister - BE GONE WITH YOU!! (you know what I mean!)

  From Da_Luvvin_Bruvva's and Da_Luvvin_Sister's Sis!

  i 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.

  I know what you mean. The Borg thinks that if you have got no friends that you will come back with your tail between your legs. Other's may not understand, but we have all been there and will continue to be there for everyone.

  All for 1 and 1 for all!

  Do JW's count BBs and Chat Rooms as Service Time?

  by alliwannadoislive in

  1. jw

  out 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 didn't anyone tell me when I was a witness? I would have been to pioneer and everything, all without getting wet from the good old British weather!

  Hi Ken,

  Yes my last assembly I went to was at Bowes Road, my niece was getting baptised there. I did go to the assemblies at the Pontins Camp back in the 80s also, but only because we were checking out the talent from the Norwich circuit! Peterborough was actually part of the Northants circuit which was held in Dudley.

  Thanks for your post

  Hi there,

  Just thought that I would say hi. I really feel for you. I am one of numerous sisters who are all 3rd Generations witnesses. We were all pretty screwed up with being brought up in the borg, and 2 of us at least have tried to commit suicide on numerous occassions, some have eating disorders etc. Many judged my sis's hard because the bros thought they were wanting attention, so the best thing they thought they could do was ignore them!! Recently 2 of us (me included) have been disfellowshiped, and yes it does make you feel cut off. I was a real good little christian sister and took on board all that the borg told us about not having all the bad association in the world so felt really cut off. I would say the best thing you can do is to make sure you make loads of friends who are not witnesses and will not pull you down when you have a good business head.

  You will get there. But don't let them get the best of you. Remember if you commit suicide no one will be able to come to your funeral, and they will only judge you more anyway, as they see it as a sin and not see depression as an illness!!

  Luv

  WHY ARE OUR K.H's UGLY?

  don'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?.

  The reason for all UK new KH's looking the same is simple.....

  WE ARE BORG!!

  So they must look the same! Even the curtains!
