Struggling to find a purpose

by My Name is of No Consequence in

i spent most of my life in the org.

we were taught that our purpose in life was to serve jehovah.

that never really made sense to me, but it was still a purpose to keep going.

You could also get involved in community activities in your area ,surely there is a variety you could choose from that may interest you.

Such as :

Senior Citizens

Animal aid care

Child protection agencys

Hospital Liasion commttees

And these are just a few off the top of my head

And there are heaps more for you to choose from. You just need to search it out what`s avaiable in your area.

Giving back in your community is heaps more rewarding and fulfills a purpose in life that surmounts anything the WT/GB would have you waste your time at .

I`m going out on a limb here ! ....PIMO

pimo , as i said i`m going out on a limb here and i might upset some people ,but i really don`t think this is a real strategy that works and doesn`t help the person who is still in.. while you may be doing this to keep the peace in the household and keep relations somewhat stable in the family arrangement ,it`s not helping the person who is still under the control of wt/gb to break free from it ,and isn`t that what you would really like to happen ?.

and are their children involved as well ?

that`s another issue ,the longer they are subject to this control the harder it will be for them to disengage get free.. maybe you should re-evaluate what you could do more to help your partner / spouse or whatever to free themselves from this bondage they have involved themselves in.. [ of course their may be others who are quite happy to have their partners/mates under the control of the wt/gb.

ZaneM44 , Nobody and I mean NOBODY should endure an abusive relationship and they ,he/ she should end that relationship immediately.

Their is no excuse for remaining in one ,help is there for all to take advantage of if only one applies.

How many Grandparents in your Hall?

by Riley in

i am technically involved with a hall that has never few young ones and lots of older childless ones.

or if they have children , their children haven’t had any children.

My question to you Riley is why do you still attend meetings ? and subject your children to this cult ?

Red Flags identifying Jehovah's Witnesses as a Cult

by Vanderhoven7 in

what are some of the red flags that should alert people to the fact that jehovah's witnesses are a high control and damaging religion?.

one that comes to mind is.

1. one cannot leave jehovah's witnesses with one's reputation intact.

smiddy3

You have to beleive that Jehovah`s Witnesses are the only true Christian religion.

thousands of years ago .. genesis chapter 11: 1-9 and how god was affected by what man planned to do ?.

build a tower into the heavens ?

their is no end to what he may acheive having only one language .. today, in the year 2022.. not only are modern skyscrapers taller than anything that could have been built with the tower of babel in bible times ,but what is acheivable today in space far exceeds anything that could have been acheived back then.. and god / jehovah is silent ?.

smiddy3

waton, you are right ,the title is stupid ,maybe I should Have said Something like ,

"Was God really afraid of what man could acheive under one language ?

But I`m not pc savvy anyhow
