  Hi mavie..I understand some of the problems your wife and you are going thru with the elders..My mother was diagnosed with cllinical depresion and also schizophrenia...the second illness being a whole different problem altogether..Some brothers and sisters discouraged her to take medication as they said it would let the demons into her mind so she didn't always take her meds as often as she should ..so she would get sicker.. IT finally got to the point where the elders had a meeting and decided they wanted to disfellowship her as she was bringing "reproach" on Jehovah' organization.. I had to plead her case to not DF her as her witness friends. (and she did have a few very caring witness friends) would not be able to talk to her.. So they didn't disfellowship her after all..but it made me wonder.. what organization with God's spirit would need me.. a mere publisher to change the minds of the elders.. I knew then that the organization was not under Jehovah's spirit as they claimed.. I D/A 'd from the JWS and have since learned of other lies they promote since finding this site..

  So if I read the inside of my fortune cookie...

  will i make it to the new system?

  i remember one time i went with a bunch of jw's out to a chinese restaurant and at the end of the meal; i opened up my fortune cookie and read it.

  this one pioneer sister went all over me for doing that; saying i could stumble someone, blah, blah, blah.

  Some JWs are really judgemental.. even more than the average DUB.. they are just high on the power trip that the cult of JWS allows them to look down on everyone and feel superior..and they believe that because of their closeminded judgemental attitudes.. God will reward them with everlasting life..what a sad pathetic life they live...

  Richie.. I think what you have accomplished so far is amazing..The only way the total lies and BS of the society are going to be exposed is by the actions of brave rebels like you. The only way things are changed and improved in this world are by rebels like you.. Stand firm and don't let the elders dictate to you.. I know that you won't. you have shown how courageous you are for someone so young..

  Well..just think.. if everything has been going so wrong..it can't get worse.. It can only get better.. Sorry to hear you have to put up with the elder egos on the weekend.. but on the positive side.. it will be a positive step towards taking your life back ..to freedom... Hope the rest of your day brightens up..They are forcasting sun on weekend here.. Hopefully you have sunshine in your part of the world..

  It is the birthday party of a close friend who you obviously care about or they wouldn't be your close friend..There is no moral dilema here.. If I was you I would go.. Your friend would appreciate you caring enough to be there... Plus... it'll be fun!!!!!!!!
