  Marathon service days before Sept 1

  so my wife showed me her instagram and one of her friends posted a picture of herself and a couple other pioneers with the title "20 hours in so far on our 24 hour day of service!

  " mind you they were all sitting in starbucks.

  this just made me want to scream!!

  Gettin in hours...not productive in the least. No effort to actually make human contact for their "ministry." This drives me nuts.

  Oh, and the "rural" territory. Hours spent in the car going for lunch...and they feel soooo good about their day in service. Actual contact may be less than a person who has a productive 5 hours a month, yet the low number is judged and the high number glorified.

  One of my buttons.

  so i tt mom and dad via skype last weekend (they live on the other part of the county) and the topic of abuse came up.

  of course they went ahead and blasted catholics for their coverups.

  i mentioned gonzalo campos, now mom and dad know this guy he went to their hall for several years in san diego.

  It's such a disconnect isn't it? The JW disconnect to the human race is just sad.

  Sorry this is going on for you. But it does make some things clearer doesn't it.

  I think the WT rules and regulations for most things are ridiculous and stupid.

  However I don't see what is wrong for having a dress code for being part of a delegation for an entity you are representing. Dress codes are normal for all sorts of organizations and travel. You don't wear shorts into cathedrals. You don't wear pants in Egypt or Morrocco if you are a lady.

  Is it just me? AAWA.co

  by bafh in

  1. watchtower

  i'm curious, anyone else find the aawa.co website negative?

  heavy handed on the emotional trauma posts, and light on the informational posts?

  maybe it is just me but on top of the fact that there isn't much posting going on there, the topics were downers.

  Well their focus is to address Watchtower abuses and names certain critical ones. It is clearly in their name.

  If you are looking for different that may not be the place.

  Theft of Reminiscing

  by rebel8 in

  so i'm now at the developmental stage of adulthood when my peers and i are beginning to reminisce about our childhoods.

  if you've ever taken developmental psychology, you know the importance of reminiscing.

  yesterday i went to an event about something retro and participants were really nostalgic and just really enjoying themselves.

  Oh my gosh! I'm experiencing the same thing but didn't identify it as you have.

  I listen to college tales and normal adventures of friends in their young adulthood, and I feel sad, angry, regretful...all damn over again. Again because I have for the most part worked through the emotional process of leaving the cult, worked hard at that. Now certain situations remind me of life where I wasn't allowed to choose...or think...which is the worse thing.

  Damn emotions.
