  Using the depression card: Only when critical to family?

  by JWdaughter in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  i just was reading a thread and it occurred to me that "using" depression as a way to deflect from wt obligations is a mistake.

  it feeds their sense of superiority-because when you do finally leave or get kicked out, they will say how leaving jehovah ruins lives.

  they won't do anything with you anymore in any case, but why feed their delusions?.

  I've been found out!

  well, thats it folks.. my identity on here has been rumbled and reported to the elders.

  someone, somehow, has figured out that im a member of this site and - rather than speak to me - has promptly reported me to the elders.

  i just feel sad for my daughter.

  Should I just tell my parents

  by BlackWolf in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  lately i've been feeling just so fed up with this stupid religion i really can't take it anymore!

  i'm starting to think that maybe i should just tell my parents how i really feel.

  if they treat me too badly or kick me out i could probably stay with my non jw aunt.. ive just reached my breaking point, i don't really care what people think of me anymore.

  No Reason For JWs To Go To The MIdweek Meeting (CLAM)

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  everything that is done at the midweek meeting can now be done at home.

  the videos are online, the first talk is scripted, the bible highlights are scripted.

  you could get the same experience by just reading and watching the material from your tablet.

  Tried One Last Time In The Kingdom Hall...

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so last thursday was meeting day.

  my wife knows my thoughts on this religion and respects my fade and is completely ok with it (which surprised me, and also made me love her even more).

  i think she must know it's all crack-pot stuff but seeing as her whole family are all in and about 98% of them cant even explain their beleifs without a watchtower on hand i think she's just going along for the friends/family/social side of it.

  Father's Day is tomorrow (in the US). Why is it wrong?

  by leaving_quietly in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i did an examination of the one single article ever to address father's day since it's tomorrow here in the us.

  the article covers both mother's day and father's day.

  hope it's informative.. examination of “mother and father worship unscriptural”, the only article ever to address father’s day in any publication printed by the watchtower bible and tract society.

  Shibboleth or Sibboleth?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it seems that for a witness to keep up with the ever changing doctrines, teachings, beliefs and ideas of the society is a way to identify a so called "spiritual one" compared to a "weak or non spiritual" one!.

  just like the account in "gideon's time", if someone did not pronounce the word shibboleth correctly, they were viewed with suspicion or even killed!.

  so too, if one doesn't know the latest "truth", they are to be viewed with suspicion or caution!.

  Welcome y'all from JWR - any questions?

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  i just wanted to take a minute to say "hi" and welcome to the site for anyone who's come here from jwr.

  i can imagine the site being shut down suddenly was shocking and unsettling for many who relied on it and sometimes you don't realize how much you do rely on something until it is gone.. hopefully you'll see some of the same familiar names appearing and be able to reconnect with people you knew via this site and continue your journey together.

  i don't know what the posting policies on jwr were but know it as a moderated site so can't imagine them being hugely different to the ones here.
