My Chat with My Older JW Mom about Missing Meetings due to Health
by flipper init never ceases to amaze me how the mind control of jehovah's witnesses makes their older people feel so guilty about missing meetings.
i mean - they have experiences all the time at assemblies about sister " white hair " barely able to stand on her feet , yet she goes pounding on doors in neighborhoods in inclement weather , perhaps on crutches handing out watchtowers to people.
you hear of how " admirable " it is for a senior citizen impaired in a wheelchair , perhaps on breathing devices - jeopardizing catching a cold by attending metings perhaps among kids with snot running out their nose and coughing in older ones faces.

finding purpose and meaning in life, a religous ideal
by chellechelle inwhat i have found most interesting is that many of us, upon leaving the cult, become depressed and are afraid because we feel as if our lives have no purpose anymore or that we should be doing something meaningful with our lives but are not.
i have become sick of feeling this way and watching otheres feel this way aswell.
this is what i have come to realize.

Did you like the name "Jehovah's Witnesses"?
by JimmyPage inor did you wish the religion had a more mainstream name?
i can remember a "worldly" schoolmate telling me he wouldn't object to the religion so much if the name didn't sound so weird..

Are You Past Irrational Fear?
by compound complex ingreetings, friends:.
