I have a watchtower on this subject. You would probably find it interesting to see what the Jw's have to say. Let me know if you're interested. I know for myself the past few months, since leaving, my depression appears to have disappeared. Funny huh. I wonder why? No more doom and gloom at the Kingdom Hall maybe. My hubby and I have always said that the truth is a weirdo magnet. I never found the people at the meetings all that happy, they were all depressed. How could you not be depressed around that bleep, bleep da bleep, bleep. Sorry, I had a moment. They came to my house today to doom and gloom me somemore but I didn't answer the door. That must have really pissed them off. Oh, pardon me, they don't get mad, just depressed. Rusty

EVERYONE LOOK! I NEED YOUR SUPPORT!
by MelbaToast inok now that i've got your attention :) .
i am currently writing a psych paper, and i decided my topic is going to be jw's and the higher percentage of mental illness in the organization( in not so many words) i have been doing hella research in medical journals, and i would like to pose a request to anyone out there that has information on this subject to pm me or attach it to your response.
i would really appreciate it, and btw, if would be even better if this was from a peer-reviewed journal, because i have already searched all the sites and got the research from freeminds, watchtowerobserver, and sites such as this.

lactose intolerant is a good point to. I am, and it sure does give you an awful tummy ache.

He does sound like a fairly normal 8 year old. My son is 13 and starting to go through the lazy, I know it all faze. I wouldn't rule out allergies, molds, candida. It can really mess up your system and cause alot of side affects. I would let him grow like a typical boy but still let him know the house rules. He can't walk on Mommy and Daddy. I know, it's very frustrating. Good luck and enjoy the fun times. I'm sure there's lots.

It's really late, like 1:00 am and I'm still sippin' on my budweiser and packing. I'm moving! It's fun to purge and drink my budweiser. My tunes are cranked. It's good times at Chrissie's house. The kids are sound sleepers, thank goodness. I'm slunching down now in total relief. I know you can relate, Mom's, and hey Dad's too. Rusty panther

Amazing How So Many JWs Practically Worship The Literature...
by cypher50 inrecently, i had to help my mom move from ny...she has just retired and has been a witness for over 30 years.
i wouldn't call her devout in that she never misses field service or that she would walk through horrible weather to get to a meeting but she is devout in a sense that she will believe whatever the wts puts before her.... anyway, my two older brothers who are also "in the truth" were helping go through what stuff we were going to move when we came to her literature stash.
my mom is an extreme packrat and we had been throwing so many items that she had bought over the years without even opening the boxes (the items got old & musty so they were unusable to others .

Depressed and doubting...
by dura-luxe ini've been out for 8 years, and for the first time in my life i am doubting.. not big doubts, but little ones.
it's all the middle east and the "peace and security" talk.
i feel like armageddon is coming.. the brainwashing never ends.

I remember when I was 18 and we heard them say "peace and security" and saw on it Tv. It was a big event/thing. I am now 33. Where is this Armageddon cause IMageddon impatient. 18-33 you do the math. Peace and Security and then the end will come. I don't feel an end at 33 in leaving the truth but a new beginning. All the best to you. Please stay strong. We are all here to listen and chat any time my friend. I bet you have more friends here then you ever had in the so called truth. Just a little tid bit to think about. Rusty
For me, going back to the truth now would make me very lonely and I would miss talking to you. -
