IEmpty feeling
by Ray6 iniam a jw right now, and iam on public reproof.
the problem is: even before i was reproved, i did not feel like i was apart of a loving family, i did not feel or see true love in the org., i felt empty after every meeting, as if i sat in a business recruitment course or weekly business seminar.
i feel a lot of the poeple there, especially the elders are backstabbers.

Jehovah's Witness BURNOUT
by Ray6 init is a continuous circle of meetings, field service, assemblies, studying and no real enjoyment of life.
the teenagers don't want to be at the boring meetings and assemblies and preaching in the hot sun.
the brothers are tired of saying the same thing on the platform and sisters are burned out trying to work, take care of home and kids and spiritual matters and being a perfect stepfordwife.

Concern or Criticism
by Ray6 inan elder in my hall is always so concerned about my teenage daughter( why doesn't she comment as much as her brother, why did she miss the meeting, why this, why that).
he keeps his attention on my wife and her friendship with another sister in the congregation and he is constantly hounding every move i make.
i feel the love is lacking.

Wives' appearance
by Ray6 inmany wives of ministerial servants or elders wear no makeup( not that you have to), wear dowdy clothhes, are overweight; why?
jealousy of the more well kept women.
are there any wives of servants or ex-servants, elders' wives of ex-elders's wives lurking here?

boring meetings
by Ray6 inwhy don't the brothers put more feeling and encouragement in their parts(if they believe this is the truth-show it) much of the information is above the heads of the children.
i have to force myself to concentrate on what is being said and not fall asleep.. children are forced to sit for 2 hours or get smacked.
you can just stay home and read over material.
