  After a year of enjoying reading posts I've decided to join!

  i'm just an average guy that been there, done that in the jw domain :) .

  i reached my "zenith" lol in such domain at the early age of 20 (i'm now 29) while expanding the work in various foreign language congs as a ms with almost all elder privileges except participating in jc's...the only jc i took part was mine last year :).

  by the way, my last wife, a christian, caught me several times reading your posts... she thinks that all of us (including myself) are just a bunch of frustrated individuals...oh well no wonder she left :).

  foreign language congregations

  by SB in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was thinking this morning, that the biggest step towards me being mentally free from wt doctrine, was joining a foreign language congregation.

  i did well w/the language, and even traveled to the country for about a year to pioneer.

  but while out of the u.s., i did very little personal study, prayer, or reading of the wt.

  2. friends

  i've started going to dance classes four weeks ago but had to skip two.

  tonight i went again.

  i thought it will be a pain in butt to get back into routine, in fact didn't even feel like going, was feeling kinda low on fuel for few reasons but went anyway.. i've got really great couple of dance instructors.

  for the longest time now, i can't sleep at night.

  i've worked so many years at night and now that i have a daytime job, i can't seem to sleep at night.

  i've tried sleep aid pills, but the sleep feels artificial and i don't wake up rested.. what to do?.

  Back of the hall stragglers... were you one?

  by Fleshybirdfodder in

  there were mother's with babies, there were those suffering from vericose veins that had to stand up.

  what about the rest of us?

  in my cong there were only a few "gifted ones" who'd do sound and it was behind the literature counter (our hall was tiny).
