  Suicide - How many do you know within the JWs

  by Lady Lee in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  thw wts likes to play games with their statistics.

  one interesting but truly tragic is the number of jwhovah's witnesses who commit suicie.. now i suspect that if a person commits suicide shortly before or after they are disfellowshipped then the elders would say that person wasn't a witness or that they had done something so terrible that they were too guilty to admit it and by their action of committing suicide they pretty much declared they were no longer a jw.. yup fancy talk to make sure any crap didn't fall on them.. so my question.. do you know of cases like this?

  if so then can you answer a few more questions.. had this person been dfed or in real danger of being dfed or whatever the equivalent is if they were never baptized?.

  How I Found Jesus!

  by berrygerry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  by looking at cdn court cases.. i knew i would find him if i persisted.. there is clear evidence, in my view, that beginning some time, probably in early 2010, but perhaps earlier, that mr. jones developed a delusional disorder with a primary religious focus.

  mr. jones accounting of the development of his belief that he is jesus christ, is consistent with the known development of psychotic disorders.

  mr. jones describes a period of time where he felt that he had some greater purpose or was meant for something important although he was unable to really identify what that was.

  As per the balladeer Mark Knopfler:

  I go down to Speaker's Corner

  I'm thunderstruck

  They got free speech, tourists, police in trucks

  Two men say they're Jesus one of them must be wrong

  Window-washer is the cover of Feb 2015 WT, "How to enjoy your work!" Hahaha!!

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  .

  after all the jokes and satire on this website about jw's only being able to amount to window washers and house cleaners, the cover page of "how to enjoy your work" showing a window washer and cleaner in the back ground.

  i almost wonder if some awakened, still-in, from this site is part of the writing department or illustrations and put that in there as an inside joke for us?.

  My observation is that these are not older people. Flash forward 30 years or so and see if you're happy or even able to do menial labor. I suspect not. But I forgot that the new system will be here by then and you won't have to worry about your future.

  Was going to post the same thought.

  I'm 70 years old, do not own my own home, have no benefits, have arthritis, expensive meds, no degree, my car needs repairs, my spouse is delusional, we cannot ask our children for help (I feel guilty for having had children in this evil system instead of devoting more of my life to WTS, and I realize that my present circumstance is undoubtedly because of not fully having followed WTS instructions and should have had a vasectomy) as they have left the truth and I am dutifully shunning them.

  Can you please send one or two elders over to show me an appropriate article to read?

  One of my main problems with the WT: A very irresponsible organization

  by Hidden-Window in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of my main problems with the watch tower and, more specifically, with the governing body is the level of irresponsibility seen when lives of people are involved and their unapologetical attitude when people suffer due to their absurd policies.. how many people were imprisoned or killed for refusing to perform civil service in exchange for military service?.

  we do not know, but it does not matter, because the society does not even apologize for the harm their blinking light caused.. how many people died or contracted illnesses due to the prohibition of vaccines?.

  we might never know, but an apology is not on the menu.. how many people died for refusing (or disfellowshipped for accepting) fractions of blood when it was against the rules?.

  As a kid, the wife of my Dad's best friend died due to refusing blood. (At an Int'l Convention, no less.)

  My ex's best friend died due to refusing blood during childbirth (the baby also died - never heard the cause of the baby's death).

  Add to that the 6 JW's that I personally knew well who suicided.

  Irresponsible does not even begin to describe "Our Mother."

  If there were a death penalty for abusive mothers, this mother should be executed, resurrected, and executed over and over.

  Tearful video.

  It should conclude with Caleb going kamikaze into those Brooklyn Bethel buildings.
