Are You Raising An Introvert?

its not easy being an introvert in an extrovert worldespecially when youre a kid.

it is even more difficult if none of the adults in the kids life recognize that the child is an introvert.

this doesnt happen only when the childs parents are extroverts, but also with introverted parents who have never understood their own introverted nature.. .

14 Minutes and you are not a Servant of Jehovah

by JT in

last night we were discussing the "new light" that was revealed to the gb recently from jehovah.

many of us recall all the co talks and elder parts based on the bible text of how a true servant of jah would not be "inactive or irregular" for years one was required to have at least one hour to be considered a servant of jah.. as the sec in my hall i recall so many times calling up friends to get thier time and hearing them break crying cause they didn't have 60min only about 45min- and they knew that it meant they were not servants of jah.

now with the new light from jw a person with only 14 minutes of time will now be disqualified as being a servant of jah.. it is amazing how many jw will view this arrangement as a "loving provision from jah" instead of realizing that thier service to thier god has been reduced to whether they get 15min or 14 min.

I thought about JW esp when we try to talk to them about the truth

you see this cart contained all this little old lady had in the world- her entire life was in a shopping cart- most of us who travel if we lost a suitcase with some dirty drawers in it and some shirts and slacks would be upset ,but we got plenty clean drawers and tee shirts at home so it really is no lose to use- but for this lady it was her entire life and the same with JW when we try to tell them that wt is wrong, all jw -including all of us to some degree have put our entire life in our WT shopping cart and for someone to come along and try to take it- the pain is unreal

so when you see a JW fighting against what you are trying to tell them just understand you are about to take away everything they have in thier life- that is why for many of us who have left we go thru periods of depression, anger , frustration and so forth

This needed a bump

Has anyone found comfort/encouragement from "worldly songs"?

i remember reading a thread when my exit was starting, about inspirational songs.

someone posted a link to the "shins" for a fool.

this was a surprising help to me.

When I was in I would play this before I gave a public talk

I had one outline where that was the only prep or research I did before giving it.

Once I learned TTATT these 2 became like my anthems:

This one comes from the opening quote in Terry's life story:

I cant remember who turned me on to this one I think it was on the way out

God stacked the deck against mankind

by nowwhat? in

ok god lets cain live and allows him to procreate into a godless nation, then he allows angels to come down to earth have offspring.

a very wicked violent society.

we are told he felt regret that he made man.

As the late Hitchens said....

"A god that made us sick and commanded us to be well"

Good quote

Get ready for phone calls from Elders either this week or when the next CO visit happens.

by EndofMysteries in

i got a call the other day, it looks like the gb is telling everyone to contact all inactive ones, let them know they are missed, etc, and to do it within a week.

Perfect response if they call:

Did you really miss me enough to call or are you calling because you were instructed to?

Do you know the difference between the words of GOD vs the GB?

by bruh2012 in

circuit overseer said to the congregation last night:.

some are having problems going to detroit for the convention- some say it's too far, some say it's dangerous, some say i never been there before- why are you disobeying jehovah since "he said" you should go to detroit to worship me!!

huh!!!
