My Bible Study Conductor's Letter to Me
by ohnightdivine in
1. jw
2. friends
recently, i wrote a sister, my bible study conductor, an email just telling her that i thought of her, and i thanked her for being a part of some milestones in my life many many years ago.

(for those who are reading my post for the first time, i was a very impressionable teenager at that time and i had the chance to live in their country for a while, spent much time with her, got to know her way of living, and essentially she became my life's mentor.

closer to me than family.

I'm not alone in the congregation, after all

i can now say that i'm not alone to know ttatt in my congregation, after all.. i have come to know that my close friend is awake, even without me sharing the ttatt with him/her.

on one of our recent conversations i mentioned about being tired and no longer being uplifted anymore, and my friend then told me he/she was feeling the same.

i don't know how it happened but we knew we could trust each other.

How do you feel about your "Bible studies" now?

i'm not sure how best to ask this question because of my personal experience-- long story short, i was discovered through informal witnessing back in college.

i was lonely, away from family, and was touched by the attention and care that was shown to me.

during the course of many years i became very very close with the sister conducting the study even though we were thousands of miles away.

Praises the WT for JW apps but sneers at members with higher education, in 2018

i guess we all know the answer why this still happens... but really, why?.

just a month ago i was having some conversation with this sister and since i'm on inactive status, she was trying to get me to download all those jw apps because the "work is speeding up" and i shouldn't be missing out on anything from the org.

especially when they come up with all these "provisions" that intend only to benefit the members.

gosh i can't believe i would still be able to log in to this site after around 4 years.

i simply just forgot my password and got the lightbulb back in my head a few minutes ago.

not sure if anyone can still remember me (i was just one of those occasional passers-by a few years ago with some relatively depressing experience after waking up to ttatt).. in the last 4 years, i:.

I need a good cry but I can't. Please help?

besides being overworked and overstressed almost everyday in the past few months,.

i've had to deal with a 'broken heart', insecurities with my physical appearance (gained a lot of weight),.

and being lonely because i started distancing myself from the 'congregation', i just want to cry, sob, and bawl out here in my bedroom.
