  i noticed after being a jw for a while that many members of my congregation were having to take antedepressants.

  (i counted at least 30 out of 100).

  after a few years i too began to have bouts of depression and problems with anxiety.

  So true Steve, especially when "well-meaning" sisters tell you not to take meds as it can allow the demons to take over your mind, Helpful advice for sure,,,,,

  Beautiful pix , Panda. Your dogs seem to be enjoying the snow. We live in Canada where we get lots of snow. We have a yellow lab and the first snowfall is his favourite time of the year..

  JWs and ethics

  by helios in

  as a df person i was pleasantly suprised one day to meet an old friend, who was an elder, along with his wife.

  in spite of the ability of jehovah to see all things they were very friendly and we shared some refreshment together.

  he offered me his business card and advised me he was now a financial adviser and could organise pensions.

  That is something that always bothered me, Other JWs always quick to point the finger and "advise" you on proper Christian behaviour, but they always did whatever they liked,even if it meant bending the rules.

  ITs so good to have a place to exchange ideas with others who have experienced the same things and understand where you are coming from. Very theraputic,,, I must say ,,,,

  I remember one young pioneer sister who was also concerned about her looks. This was in the mid's 70's , when Armeggedon could strike at any time, She quite seriously told me that she was trying to get used to her eyebrows not being plucked in case in the great tribulation she would be imprisoned and wasn't able to pluck her eyebrows,, oh Pleeeeeeeeeeezz

  My friend and I would go and stand on the street corner downtown at 8am holding mags and talking to anyone that was interested, Mostly talked to ourselves..lol.. then we would go for coffee and toast and then onto the meeting before field service and keep counting right through, that gave us an extra 2 hours, Lots of sisters did that,,, Had to keep up that hours quota ya know...
