i have not been active here lately just lurking mostly but i have no one to talk to and i need some help i guess.i started working out and became friends with my personal trainer(we went to school together).i started going out with him(lying to my mother about what i was doing,another thing to add to the list of lies,it's becoming too easy!

) and i notice i'm slowly becoming the worldy people that the jw's described.i've become very selfish and rude and very apathetic towards everything and everyone.i always thought the values that jw's taught were really good.if i cut ties with the only friend i have now , i would probably slip into a deep depression and i that is something that i want to avoid at all costs.i start university in january and my plan was to stick it out in the organisation until i got my degree and became fully independant but as of late a elder told me i am being considered to become a m.s and told me what i need to work on and since then the other elders have been nagging me to work on the same things.i'm trying to rid my self of my 'priveleges' in the cong but nothings working...if anyone has experienced a similar situation what advice would you give?

, oh and my mom was always super into the religion having been a pioneer and bethel worker for years but we went to the regional convention two weeks ago and now she is even more exasperating (for example a sister asked my why i was 19 years old and not a ms or serving at bethel yet, which is fine i've learnt how to deal with these questions but when i told my mother whom has always been content with me just being in the religion and never pushed me towards anything asked me if i was happy with what i was and if i would not be happier at bethel or regular pioneering.

If I have read this all correctly, you are a 19 year old baptized brother that has one friend, a former school mate and now your personal trainer. You are living at home and going to Uni in Jan. You feel you have become a lying, rude, selfish and apathethic individual.

Maybe just self preservation?

Some on here have said men don't mature until they are about 25. You have got a lot to think about but are headed in the right direction.

There are always nosy Jdubs. In fact most of them have no personal boundaries. It happens in groups when you are supposed to call strangers, brother and sister.

You have approximately 10 weeks before school starts. Keep posting and venting and asking questions. Many wish we were 19 years old again with advise from the good hearted people here on JWN/JWD.

All the very best to you for a bright and happy future.

Question about an elder and if I am crazy

by life is to short in

ok so i have a question.

i was a very, very true believer until i saw the child molesters in my hall and how that whole thing was handled.. my husband is older than i am and had been an elder for 12 when we married.

so fast forward to 06, we are in a hall where i thought all the elders were ok at the worst and great at the best.

LITS, You are dealing with possibly dangerous, nutso people. We all know the Elder's are in a Big Boys Club and some are doing wrong even illegal things.

Can you just stay away from them and get your rest, see your therapist and keep posting here. You are not crazy. The situation is though.

Hugs to you my good and honest friend who happens to be swimming in a pool with sharks.

Take good care of yourself first.

RIP dad, who introduced me to this fairytail of everlastin life and paradise :(

by Frezia in

jw
friends

less than 5 hours ago my great dad fell asleep the last time :( still in a bit of a shock and sad that i will not see him again...i promised myself that once he is here no more, i will somehow make my move out of this organisation who kept us all captive believing in a fantasy of an everlasting life :( i am in a tricky situation, since raised as jw, still in, married to an active jw, and pretty sure that all in my social and family circle will turn their backs on me if i finally say goodbye to a fairytail ;(.

I am so sorry for your loss.

2016-09-21 BOE Re: Global Assistance Arrangement for the 2017 Service Year

by wifibandit in

september 21, 2016 to all congregations re: global assistance arrangement for the 2017 service year.

ps to bodies of elders:.

this postscript should not be read to the congregation, and this letter should not be placed on the noticeboard.

This is another WT money grabbing stunt.

In old time highway robbery, the bandits (apparently) used to say, "Your money or your life".

With JW..org, they take both.

Found Another Medieval Coin This Evening

by cofty in

i got in an hour metal detecting this evening and found this almost immediately.. it is a silver penny of henry ii minted in london by "davi" between 1180 and 1189. this adds a king i didn't have in my collection.

i now have the series of henry ii - john - henry iii - edward i - edward ii - edward iii.. i now need richard the lionheart to fill in the gap.

he was the brother of john and reigned after the death of henry ii.

Granny Grace,

Everyone should have one. At least we had the pleasure of her company with her cheeky personality and that she made each of us feel loved.

If there is a Heaven, I hope you are up there enjoying it's delights.

My sincere condolences to all of her dear family and friends.

Wow! Dated today! lol Love it! lol

For how many years each of us has been involved with the WT 'Lie' (certainly NOT 'truth') if we had garnered all of our friends and family support to give us cash each month (for years so I/we live for free basically) and then take some of the 'freely' given cash and turn around and ask the same friends and family to donate to a building fund for 'me' (each of us) so I can buy land, then after buying the land and getting my blue prints and building permits, ask all the ones in trades to build my structure for FREE, how long would my friends and family carrying on as my friends and loving family members that I free load off of?

BUT, in the name of RELIGION, WT/JW..org does not mind free loading off of 'their' 'sheep'.

WT/JW..org YOU ARE DISCUSTING TURDS OF HUMANITY!

You are leeches that live off of the live$ of others who are BRAIN-WASHED by YOU, who never get to do what they want to do.

Normal people do what they want. Marry who they want. Get training and education that fulfills their needs, dreams and desires. Are adults who decide what they want to wear and if they want to sleep in on the week end or not. Are adults that budget time and money to pursue their goals, not WT/JW..org's or anyone else's, first. In fact, normal people put themselves and family first... NOT religion.

How wonderful it would be if all the Elders that read these letters, finally say, ENOUGH! My family comes FIRST!

Forget you, you demanding WT/JW..org aka Mafia hitman. If we don't do what you say... What ya gonna do? Tell us again, for over 100 years now, that your scary Big A is coming... to kill everyone if they do not sit in your Kingdumb Hauls for the weekly indoctranation sessions? What a laugh! You guys are the greedy, scheming, a$$hole$ of the Universe! If you had a conscience, which psychopaths don't, you should be ashamed of yourselves! That you never apolozy and never feel shame, shows the whole world what narcissist a$$hole$ you are!

Rant over.

There is a new letter to elders about Child Abuse

by ttdtt in

anyone see that there is a long letter on how to handle child abuse?.

LoisLane looking for Superman

Sorry. I only read to point #3. Sexual conduct with a minor is a gross sin.

Really WT/JW..org???????????????????????????????????????????

It took you how many decades AND a century to figure that one out?

I despise you workers of lawlessness. Perverters of justice.

You are cockroaches who live to do their dirty 'business' in darkness, then when the lights are turned on, you, Geoffrey Jackson, Australian Royal Commission summer of 2015, LIED!!!

WT/JW..org are killers of people. You are a madman who allow no respectable escape. WT leaders are sociopaths, egotists, out for what they can get from the low and downtrodden 'little guy'. Shame on you WT. You are the scum of the earth! If only all GB members and Elder's could go to prison from holding back protection of innocent children, let those men (and women if they knew and did nothing) get their due there from stinky Bubba looking for new sexual conquests and see how they like it. Scream all you like. No one will care. That is how you treated us!
