  thanks for the responses everybody!...nice to know i'm not alone in this.

  the one thing that the watchtower society has taught me is to never place your value and worth in the hands of other people!....

  once you look deep down inside yourself and let go of the need to have approval from others...you will find out things about you; you didn't know before.

  Thanks for the responses everybody!...Nice to know I'm not alone in this. The one thing that the Watchtower Society HAS TAUGHT ME is TO NEVER PLACE YOUR VALUE AND WORTH in the HANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE!...

  Once you look deep down inside yourself and LET GO OF THE NEED TO HAVE APPROVAL FROM OTHERS...You will find out things about you; you didn't know before.

  YOU WILL FIND OUT HOW TALENTED AND BEAUTIFUL YOU ARE!...You find out that whatever problem you are going through...YOU HAVE THE GOD GIVEN POWER TO MAKE IT BETTER!

  You don't need GROUP APPROVAL to be Happy or Successful in This Life!

  My experience has taught me that you only need 3 things to be truly happy and that is (HEALTH, WEALTH, AND HIGHER SELF)

  1. Good Health - The Healthy You are Inside your body, the better you will look and feel outside.

  2. Financial Freedom - (unfortunetely some people think that barely making it in life, or living on a wing and a prayer is a way of being humble, more spiritual, or closer to God - NOT!...WE HAVE ALL THE TALENT AND ABILITY TO BECOME MORE! - Even a tree grows as tall as it can, stretches every branch and limb that it can. Who said we got to live like a poor person to have God's approval.....URGGHHHH!

  3. Higher Self - Higher Self can be anything from meditation, spirituality (not religion), or whatever it takes to become one with the universe. (Think: The Law of Attraction)

  In conclusion: Thank All Yall for Yall's Comments (Lol, I Spoke like a True Texan Didn't I?)

  I don't hate the Jehovah's Wittnesses, but there is a hidden danger in getting too involved or involved at all. If you don't TRULY KNOW YOURSELF AND YOUR LIMITS...you will fall prey to what OTHERS THINK OF YOU and you will be a slave to others opinions and THINK THEY CAME FROM GOD!...THIS EXPLAINS WHY SO MANY ARE DEPRESSED, SAD, AND EVEN SUICIDAL!...

  In the WTS you end up becoming a "People Pleaser" just to fit in. DON'T DO IT!...TO HELL WITH PLEASING PEOPLE!....In the end..the friendly handshakes and smiles CANT PAY YOUR BILLS, WAKE YOU UP IN THE MORNING, OR PROVIDE HAPPINESS!...

  STAY TRUE TO YOURSELF AND GOD WILL STAY TRUE WITH YOU!

  PEACE OUT EVERYBODY!

  The TRUTH about Jehovah's Wittnesses (from MY 22 YRS. EXPERIENCE) - A MUST READ!

  i have learned to stay away from all religion and jehovahs wittness doctrine (that includes the watchtower and awake magazines).

  stay away from positions of ministerial servant, pioneer, aux pioneer, elder, and the like.

  once you become a full fledged jehovah wittness you are doomed to be unhappy.

  I have learned to Stay away from ALL RELIGION and Jehovah’s Wittness Doctrine (that includes the watchtower and awake magazines). Stay away from positions of ministerial servant, pioneer, aux pioneer, elder, and the like. Once you become a full fledged Jehovah Wittness You are DOOMED TO BE UNHAPPY.

  From the outside looking in...Jehovah’s Wittnesses APPEAR TO BE THE HAPPIEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD, but the TRUTH IS MANY JEHOVAH’S WITTNESSES SUFFER IN SILENCE! Many Jehovah’s Wittnesses are in a EMOTIONAL PRISON and LIVE IN FEAR! Some Jehovah’s Wittnesses are stuck in SEXLESS MARRIAGES (including myself) but CANNOT GET FREE FROM THEM because of FEAR OF WATCHTOWER DOCTRINE and DISFELLOWSHIPPING!

  Nearly everything you do or THINK ABOUT DOING IS SURPRESSED…Instead of fearing God in a healthy way…you end up fearing Elders and MEN IN POSITIONS…Your life becomes ONE BIG GLASSHOUSE…with LITTLE OR NO ROOM to be creative or expressive…That is probably why many witnesses CAN’T GET MARRIED….The way The Watchtower is setup…Marriage is nearly IMPOSSIBLE…because your personality is governed by the opinion of others and it is VERY DIFFICULT to be yourself and see others HOW THEY TRULY ARE....You end up surpressing your personality to FIT IN.

  The Jehovah’s Wittness Religion does have a few good morals to live by and I do appreciated some of the principles that are layed out as far as trying to love others and be a moral person BUT IN CONCLUSION... The Jehovah's Wittness Religion is Best enjoyed at a SAFE DISTANCE! You can enjoy some of the association and even go out in field service every now and then (when you feel like it of course) BUT YOU BETTER STAY AWAY FROM THE WATCHTOWER SOCIETY MINDSET…It’s unrealistic and superficial.....(YOU WILL SUFFER IN SILENCE)...It is best to stick the basic principles layed out in the bible and leave religion and watchtower doctrines alone. You will feel more SPIRITUALLY FREE, CLOSER TO GOD and HAPPIER in the long run that you did. CLOSENESS WITH GOD IS ABOUT EMOTIONAL FREEDOM AND INNER PEACE....UNFORTUNETELY YOU LOSE ALL THAT ONCE YOU BECOME A FULL-FLEDGED JEHOVAH'S WITTNESS!
