It doesn't matter what there is to gain....it really doesn't, the chances are they probably will not get it, sadly because they are so convinced that "Satan" has a strong hold on you. However, you have nothing to lose, and you need to make your point clear and where you stand....though they may not get it now, your message will linger in their heads for a long time...so you never know. Good luck! I'm anxious to hear the response as well.....

Jo,
There is absolutely nothing wrong with taking medication...it actually just makes you feel pretty even. I wouldn't recommend taking your mother's left over Welbutrin though. Most doctors want to start you out with the lowest dose and work your way up to increase your tolerance. I would talk to your doctor before starting medication, and get a good recommendation for a therapist as well. There are a lot of good natural altneratives but it takes much longer to get into your system. I have been on Effexor since February, I have not raised my dose, mainly because I try and stay physically active ...so I try to combine medicine with natural medicine.....you can also go that route as well.
Good luck to you....I hope you feel better soon.

After I had my daughter, that was one belief, I had a lot of inner conflict with....but like you, I probably would have, just because I thought it would be the right thing to do, believing that the future holds everlasting life and not just temporary life. Now, the thought of it is appalling.....

how much did you give up?
by zen nudist ini completely lost it and could not keep the tears back and my throat choked with grattitude to these men and my country.
i had missed feeling patriotic soooo much!
pasted from another thread...but got me thinking, how much did you stop doing as a jw, not because you really believed it but because you could not do it and still be a jw?

Growing up in it....I lost the freedom to think on my own, to discern right from wrong without getting "The Society's" thoughts on it first. I also lost my youth.

Blood Transfusions are Biblically Supported
by allpoweredup into jehovah's witnesses elders: blood transfusions are biblically supported: acts 15:20 says abstain from blood but 1 samuel 14:32-5 says saul's army ate unbled meat to not starve and no verses show god not forgiving them.
christ says god also forgave david's eating temple holy bread to survive and that god wants mercy not sacrifice.
(mt 12) the may 22, 1994 awake tells of 26 jehovah's witness kids who died without transfusions, and by common sense in massive bleeding as in car wrecks blood expanders won't save lives http://www.ajwrb.org.

I don't think any verses show god not forgiving Noah for commiting incest with his own daughter while drunk either
No offense Gumby...but that was Lot....but I get your point nonetheless :)

Going For A Song
by Englishman inthey say that memory is all about association.
when we recall a happy or desperate time in our lives, a song or tv programme or even an ad can bring the era concerned flooding back.. these are my "leaving the dubs" selections:.
my song was "beautiful sunday".. my tv programme was "monty pythons flying cicus".. my tv ad was "click on here and turn up the speakers.
