  Good Girl or Bad Girl?

  Good Girl or Bad Girl, you don't need their approval to use mind-alternating drugs. As long as they are not illegal.

  Rooster, it's not for me. It's for a family member who, though DF'd himself, is strongly influenced by what JW's say is "OK." I'm using their words as ammo for him to get the help he needs. Their way of helping him is to say "if you went to meetings, you would not be so depressed." Sick bastards.

  Shawn10538 that was a very good observation. They talk of a loving congregation to support those who are suffering mentally and emotionally, but the minute the sufferer commits a sin while suffering, in marches the elders and a judicial committee. So the love is pretty much conditional. Depressed, or mentally or emotionally sick individuals in the congregation are walking on thin ice.

  While severely depressed all they did was reprimand me for missing a meeting or not studying my lesson. I don't know why anyone thinks they'd give a rat's ass about the REASONS behind a sin being committed. (If you say you were assaulted, they automatically don't believe you, why would it be any different for anything else?) Or was that the point?
