  WOULD YOU BE AN ACTIVE WITNESS IF????

  by minimus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  would you be an active witness or even an inactive one if you could change a few things?

  for example: let's say the blood issue could be resolved, would you stay?

  or if 1914 doctrine was dissolved or the disfellowshipping/ shunning view changed?

  LOL yeah I'm really scary! To clearify I'm a cyclist now, however in my earliest biker days (Harley's), my early teens was when I experimented with pot enough to know I really loved it, I loved it so much it scared me, I'm glad it scared me and I didn't continue to use it. I knew too well what an addictive life style was like and wanted no part of that for myself and my future 85 kids.

  Life ain't for the faint hearted and I would like to add to that I would rather do life sober than stoned anytime.

  OH MY GOD THE BIKERCHIC IS TALKING TO ME! ( To self: don't make eye contact, don't make eye contact, don't make eye contact, don't make eye contact ))

  We Are Not on the Low Road

  sometimes, because we have the jw mind set and jw friends and family, we are the ones who are made to feel guilty or make ourselves feel guilty.

  sometimes, we have found our true feelings, we have become authentic.

  but our friends, or fringe associates, are not authentic........they are sucking our lives; they are making us feel guilty.. at what point do we say to ourselves that it's ok to move on and see the jw family members are the ones to be pitied?

  How can you parents look your children in their eyes and tell them not to do drugs?

  Hear! Hear!

  I always say life ain't for the faint hearted and I would like to add to that I would rather do life sober than stoned anytime. And just so you know yeah, I've been there, done with that.

  HEAR! HEAR! ( and I'm not a prude as I enjoy a beer or three at times )

  I've ordered CoC and "Gentile Times"

  Bought presents for my daughter on her birthday (although I avoided the Happy Birthday w/Presents thing as I haven't had the "we aren't doing the JW thing anymore" talk with her specifically)

  And said in mixed company of some other faders, worldly people and my wife "We are between religions" and "We aren't doing that JW thing anymore"

  This is a great point. A few months ago I decided to never play down my happiness when I see a witness. When they ask I tell them that everything is going great - and it is! My wife tends to avoid them and my son too, but I'm reminding them "What do you have to be embarrassed for?"

  At what point do we stop fading and stop attending DC's and Memorials because that's what they think is the right thing to do?

  This year. No memorial and no assemblies. I'm done pretending.

  When are you ready to be authentic to yourself and the world around you and STOP feeling bad

  Again, this year. Geez this is going to be a good year isn't it!

  To whoever this is meant for: I hope the internalization of these issues goes away for you as time goes by. You have what seems like a very solid friend in NonSimpleSally. Good luck to you, that's right, I said "luck".
