RE: Steem4nigeria Accelerator Contest Week 72: How I Handle Pressure
When reading your post, what's comes in my mind was peer pressure. Now let me explain what this really means. For example when I was in school, the chose my friends instead of them choosing me and they know very well why I Don't engaged or hang out with them. But at some point there will be a point that they will just gather around you and pressuring you to accept or do something you know very well it not good for you. I personally encounter a lot of pressure in school. As a Jw I had to defend my belief at any chance be it in assembly ground or during class. At some point, there was a time when an argument arise and they where like...... Chosen what do you to say? And I will share with what I know about that particular topic. But when it comes to school life, they were were against me as most of the people who claimed to be Jw were also doing what they were not supposed to do and they will ask, is this not your member, are you the only angel in the school?
So you see if I give up to the pressure I will follow after all others are doing it too but I didn't. Up til today, most of them when they see me or when i chatted with them, they will be like: are you still the same chosen......
I stood my ground though. Thank you for sharing your pressuring experience with us.

Pressure in school especially from your classmates is always frustrating, sometimes it always end up in fight when the victim can't endure any longer
Thank you very much for going through my post,i really appreciate
It's about how you handle the situation. Like me, I don't argue, if am trying to explain something and I noticed that it might end up into fight I will immediately end the conversation and leave the place. I know there different kind of pressure but there's also different ways of dealing with pressure.
Thank you for always giving support to me, but I wouldn't mind if you drop a word about what you know about pressure....... will you?
If it comes to religion it doesn't matter if you are Catholic, Muslim, JW or? You will find those living by the book (law), the hypocrites, kind people, monsters, selfish ones, those who sacrifice themselves and bullies among all of them.
These are people with low self-esteem, they always envy, they suffer from tunnel vision those and can't stand those who don't feel the need to brag.
Never feel explain why you believe what you believe or defend a group to a group of bullies. We are all individuals and have a life we should live and take responsibility for.
Do those bullies all practice the same religion? I wonder which church preaches such behaviour. 🤔 It sounds like a sick environment and to me it's a reason to stay out of church. Thekind people I never met in real life among those who claim to be Christians visiting church. Isn't that strange?
@ wakeupkitty
I understand your point but I want to make something clear. You know we all to different to worship our creator, no doubt but we are the one that will tell if our mind and heart is clear and pure. You know the holy book teaches us how to live a good life, a satisfying life but to some people views, just life look so boring to them. So people feel like as far as you're alive you should do anything your heart desires eaither good or bad but they claim to be Christian. But my point is, it's not the matter of being a Christian or going to church to worship, it's about you mind, how you allowed the holy book to direct your footsteps. You'll come to understand what and what you should do and those things you should avoid. So I don't see any reason putting tge blame on Christian. In fact the way some believers behave make people lose interest in anything worshipping. See me..... We were talking about pressure, maybe you're pressuring me to write about people misconduct... Hahahahah.

Did you read the sentences I started with? I don't put the blame on anyone I said you will find good and bad among every believers (layers of society).
What you wrote here is contradiction
I would say read again and see if you can recognize and tell the difference between personal experiences and pressure. Who knows you can tell in 30 years though I hope it will not take that long.
I'm off a good evening.

Hahaha, okay, let's hang it there, you're off to a good evening? Am already on my bed.
