  Did you ever shun someone close? How did you feel?

  by jean-luc picard in

  how does a jw feel when he "has" to shun someone he likes/loves?.

  during the time i was in, i shunned people.

  but as i didn't like them, it was no problem.. but now, i'm trying to understand how my family might really feel.. (i presume here, of course, that they do "like/love me".).

  Any suggestions for legitimate work at home jobs?

  my daughter may need this.

  since she has heart failure, she may not be able to go back to work, because her dr. has placed her on a 5 lb lifting restriction.

  her company has held her job open for her since the end of november, but will not agree this restriction.. she has applied for disability, but since her dr would allow her to work at all (dispite strict restrictions) she has been told that they will not likely approve her.... so she is caught between a rock and a hard place.

  charity project vrs jw project

  by seenitall in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been doing several charity projects lately and weighed the differences between doing them and volunteering on jw projects.

  .

  1. jw projects - so many rules on what to wear, no creative personal input asked for, no real signs of true appreciation for giving efforts, general laziness of many volunteers, power & ego trips of overseers, no real recognition for sacrifices made.. 2. worldly events - recognition, true feelings expressed openly by many, creative expressions encouraged, no power struggles on who is in charge, free giving and acceptance of any effort given for the cause.. 3. the demonizing of the charity or project as worldly and worthless by the org / jw.. 4. slander, backbiting and gossip spread if any jw does any worldly charity work.. 5. my observation was that i felt refreshed, respected and yes - even loved more doing these projects a hundredfold more than over 40 years slaving on rbc, kh, bethel and other jw projects.. anyone else having exp or comments?.

  help appreciated...any success or failures at truly conscious efforts to make new friends after a life in jwland? As a very social person i still only seem to have ex-dubs as my new friends...

  as a jw...at least if you were social...you could walk into about any hall and find other social jw's you could become friends with...yes they are conditional...perhaps more so than other friends, but i did have some great friends there and i still miss them.

  since my wake up....then departure....now df status....i realize that i have had only seven or so real friends and five were found here..... five are fairly local, one is far away, and one is an old high school friend i have reconnected with (lives a thousand miles away).....and i have met some nice people through these friends but they are more aquaintances than close friends.

  the bar scene did not really get me anywhere with guys or girls...and i tried meetup.com but as of yet have not connected with anyone....so what worked for you?

  my wife was recently in a car accident.

  she's okay, but was incapacitated for a few days because of the injuries.

  she missed a couple of meetings.

  Conspiracy theorists

  by JimmyPage in

  2. friends

  some here like to perpetuate the idea that there is a hidden group lurking in the shadows playing democrats and republicans against each other for their own benefit... or that a new world order is about to annihilate herds of common men to stay in power.. please name one specific living person who is a member of this elite group..
