Can you people honestly say Gods Spirit is Guiding you?]I THINK NOT!
Darlin' jw - if you are looking here for God's Spirit - you are nearly beyond help of any kind.......truly......I mean, why would you come to an apostate site for people who are guided by God's spirit? Gimmee a break..............................you are borderline pathetic......jeez........I'm sorry......I don't usually take advantage ofd dumb animals.........but ...................crikey!
i have worked hard and relaxed in the shade.
i ate tasty sushi and had an ice cream cone while enjoying the company of a lovely lady.
my fish is settling down in his bowl and today i learned more about his care in ten minutes from a man at the local pet store than i did from three petsmart employees.
Ahhhhh......I love it.............................life really can be this easy.....................
i grew up in the borg and can remember feeling a disconnect with the portrayal of witness behavior in the literature and what i actually experienced.
the stories from the yearbook about people wanting to study with witnesses "thirsty for knowledge of the truth" were so different from the responses i got in the fs, where people just seemed annoyed.
the pictures of happy folk and families of all colors looking toward some ray of light, united in the love for jehoober and each other, did not square with what was going on in my congo.
Do you remember those families who kept to themselves and you were often told to stay away from them? More often than not those were the good Witnesses. They were the ones who would show up and help you if you needed it without asking for the "permission" of the elders. They were the ones who could be counted on when somthing needed to be done. They were also the brothers who just couldn't seem to get appointed ministerial servant or elder in the congregation but were used in various unofficial ways by the elders because their favorited couldn't be counted on. Those families were often not invited to get togethers of the friends and NEVER were invited to the get togethers of the "in" crowd. They were kind of like our friend Ritchie who helped those in need but was constantly in trouble with the elders. | |
| Yes, oh yes.........this kind of breaks my heart - because I do remember these good-hearted ones. These were the "meek who (should) inherit the earth" but were muscled out by the loud, showy, aggressive, dramatic ones............the really decent jw's, who gave sincerely of their time, heart and love, were often not the ones who could give a good showing on the "platform" - and felt inferior and unworthy as a result.....................so, so sad..................... | |
hi all, just feeling kind of down.
breaking up with my boyfriend, i thought i knew him and could count on him...saw his true colors the other nite...
Joanne,
I don't know if this will help or make you more depressed, but here goes:
I was single from age 37 - 56! But I finally found the right one! And it is great! So, just remember - there is plenty of time and don't get in a hurry. Think about what you really want and hold out for it. Of course, in the meantime, meaningless sex is okay, too.

jw does not go out in service or make the mtgs on a regular basis because of family responsibilities.
This is like soooooo counter to WTS directives.
I must ask - DOES JW WANT his/her FAMILY TO BURN TO DEATH AT ARMAGEDDON AND THEIR EYEBALLS TO SPONTANEOUSLY ROT IN THEIR HEADS?
See, this was the image I grew up with as a third generation Jehoober Witless. This is what I was spoon-fed at the age of 6. Thank you, WTS. The nightmares are subsiding, gradually.
If you don't know about this , jw, you are grossly misinformed and shame on you for not doing your homework and for imposing this claptrap on your flute-playing children!
Honestly, I do not have a sense of humor.
Honestly, this is the saddest comment I have ever seen on here. Call an ambulance.

Wow , do you really believe no one really sits around plays musical instruments and /or have family or church sing alongs?
My family does that all the time, almost every evening.
Wow……how do you find time to attend the meetings and participate in field service?
Also, I would like to ask the question we always ask jw apologists (apostates in their hearts) – why are you on this board? which they never answer………….yawn.....................

Witnesses were gossipy, jealous, suspicious, scorekeeping, hierarchical, bored, critical, goofy, presumptuous, and nosy. And that was just MY family!
I always kind of figured that to observe the "real" witnesses you had to go somewhere else - third world countries or at least New York, where they drew the pictures.
Can anyone else relate?
