No Way

i have a friend who is heavily involved in an offshoot and has been since they were in their mid teens. any time i do anything that keeps me from going to fellowship (i intentionally schedule things on days that there are fellowship so i don't have a reason to give in and go), they give me the speech about giving god time in my life blahblahblah. this is someone who has been my friend for awhile, but they barely know anything about the real me because the truth would hurt them very much that i am a human. i have dreams, ambitions, and responsibilities. just sitting back and skipping opportunities to go to fellowship for a year and a half have proven to be a major waste of time and an emotional burden. i am sure other people here who were in twi have learned that the hard way. i am thankful that i am not involved anymore with the people who have damaged my focus on many of my ambitions.

someone needs to make a parody song about SIT.

4 years ago i lost 40 lbs by becoming a vegan. then eventually 2 years ago i started eating meat again and gained 20 lbs back, but recently lost most of it just by cutting down on fried foods & giving up soda.

look at all those poor brainwashed people...

"are the dead alive now????" sorry, i had to...

i wish their splinter group (Geer) would fall.

if i had spent a little less time fellowshipping and a little more time taking care of my life, i wouldn't have these problems. fellowshipping several nights a week cost me lots of pay,real opportunities in my career and severed many of my relationships. there have been plenty of times where disasters occurred and rather than be angry, the answer was "see this bigger, it's an opportunity to trust god" so yea i met the door already.

beats me, some of the older people in the fellowship weren't even in the way. it's just from the way the ministry has been working that they continue to waybrain people. i was told not to use words like create, lucky, etc. when i stopped attending fellowship i was told that i was getting tricked. lol.

my splinter group friends say that often...then again anything they say is pretty waybrained....none of em were ever in the way either, we're all in our early 20's.

looks like a few of us on here know the carrs and zoelezzis.

haha i never s.i.t. before, that's what it sounds like when i hear others do it.

tididi santada estalla kuturu....blah

i have also experienced this first hand. last i heard his wife was doing much better.

gotta love the term "believer"

they are all great people, just quote and worship wierwille a bit too much for my liking.

lil ole me, are you from jerry's fellowship?

i love how when i would take the bus to work, my offshoot friend told me i shouldn't be listening to my headphones, i should be reading the word....blahhh

"Tempted and tried we're oft made to wonder why it should be thus all the day long, while there are others living about us, never molested tho in the wrong. Farther along we'll know all about it, Farther along we'll understand why...." lol had to add that.

happy household holidays! j/k

i actually got told that i am being "tricked" for cutting fellowship this week to finish up some stuff for school and to spend a night with someone not in the word. i usually would go to 2 fellowships a week but i realized i no longer have a life, and since i'm working a lot and in school and 2 nights of fellowship, my brain is everywhere. i just hope to get fully out fairly soon without hurting anyone. thanks for the hugs, i need them. i love to read the bible, but i think the whole fellowship thing is just putting me in a wrong path. i suffer many emotional problems that after fellowship i learned to ignore them. ahhh well....

For the last year I put my career & financial situations in God's hands....well I am still broke and in debt. I got yelled at by someone in the offshoot I attend because I work a lot, they want me to have God handle it.....whhaaattttt......

sounds like the offshoot i attend. i am slowly making my way out.

i really thought for a long time that i should supress my natural feelings and emotions because god wants us to be careful for nothing (phil 4:6) however, the problem is still there and my emotional state has gotten worse. i no longer use my emotions since getting into the word, and the emotions i use at fellowship are pretty fake when i think about it.
