  JWs and pessimism

  by elisaporquien in

  there are people who are pessimistic, optimistic, cynical or whatever.

  i've noticed that ever since my sister became a jw she's become very pessimistic about life now (present time).

  i love and care about her but her pessimism sometimes brings me down (emotionally).

I love and care about her but her pessimism sometimes brings me down (emotionally). I feel that she's not living her life. She's planning a trip to Europe next year and everytime she mentions it she says, "who knows how the world will be, I might not even be able to go..." or she'll start, "the way things are going..." Doesn't the Bible also teach not to worry about tomorrow? Is there a sense of pessimism among all JWs?

  okay i know that there are people who began careers in medicine, law, etc.

  then later got into the truth.

  i know that pursuing a higher education is not forbidden but a personal choice.

  Okay I know that there are people who began careers in Medicine, Law, etc. then LATER got into the truth. I know that pursuing a higher education is not forbidden but a personal choice. Is there anyone out there, reading this, that grew up in the truth and pursued a career in medicine (and remained in the truth)? What was the experience like (both med school and residency)? I'm not a Jehovah's Witness but my mom and my sister are and I believe in no blood. I've wanted to pursue a career in medicine since I was young but this 'detail' has stopped me from confidently pursuing it. Share your story please?
