  it's june 3rd, my mum's 66th birthday had she still been alive.... she passed away in 94 from cancer of the blood, she was diagnosed 3 weeks before.

  she'd been experiencing severe pain in her legs and hips for months before hand.

  but between taking care of her mother and the dub duties she couldn't get to see a doctor.

  Targeting the mentally ill.

  by Fleshybirdfodder in

  perhaps this is just my personal experience (i grew up in a less than liberal, "fire and brimstone" congregation) but it seemed to me that we attracted and "exploited" (for lack of a better word) people who had mental illnesses and most definitely should have been directed to professional help.

  i think it may be because our congregation was in a small town, and our territory was "slim pickings" as one elder described it, so if they could target the weak with promises of a glorious paradise to beef up their monthly report, so be it.

  it was easy to target those who may feel like pariahs, promise them friendship and love, dunk them and drop them when their needs interfere with the theocratic agenda.

  I have seen people walking the mental tight rope and then after they have been in the religion for a while, living in the glass fish bowl becomes too much and they break. But who can blame them. Though as we all know, mental health help is not allowed. Just believe in Jah more, just pray more, just preach more. You can never be happy in this system, so your unhappiness is the system you are living in, not the fact that you are mentally ill.

  l_g right on with that analogy. I think in some cases the organization causes mental illness and heaven help you if you are mentally ill and a JW! Wouldn't wish that on my worse enemy!

  Cheers Frank!

  It is amazing you mention it. Murphy's was one of my next few Stout Porters to feature. You beat me to it!

  It is a good one. Some like to make comparisons with Guinness, but I believe it stands on its own like any beer.

  Can't get Rolling Rock up here. I don't think it is funny that you like it all. Any man or woman that likes Steak is allowed to like Fish or even Foul too....No?

  Pale Ales have their place at the table, on the beach, by the pool.......etc.!

  Cheers!

  Awe I'll take Murphy's over Guinness any day. My son loves Guinness so much that he even went to Ireland to see where it's made.....well that and he was on his honeymoon, LOL. Anyhoo we have that Murphy v Guinness discussion frequently. Good thing about it is he buys me a Murphy's just to compare with his Guinness.....LOL I don't know if he's figured it out yet but I'll even drink a sip or two of the Guinness to get a pint of Murphy's! and free!

  Yeah I really tend to like Rolling Rock in the summer time it's a light refreshing beer especially on a hot day.

  BTW what are you ridin'?

  A bicycle. No more Harley for moi.

  BTW do you know what beer a cyclist would be drawn too, LOL just a quiz?

  nvb:

  Interesting note on Rolling Rock for bikerchic : This brew was produced for generations( since the 1930s) in Latrobe, PA, not far from Pittsburgh.

  Sadly, they were recently bought out by Anheuser-Busch, who opted to shut down production in Latrobe. Now it's produced in Newark, NJ.

  I didn't know that! I've been to a couple of Bush Garden's theme parks in California back in the days when you could *sample* beer free, yeah that's what I like, hee,hee free beer!

  First time I ever tasted an Amber Ale was at the Bush Garden in SandyEggo, they had several experimental beers there too and some of them were darn right awesome, some tasted like skunk water. Never noticed if any made it to market that I recall.

  Hello there Frank75! I too love a goot stout beer this being my favorite:

  Yet I do confess I'm not really a conosuer of beer but Murphy's has my taste buds a-ga-ga! My friends laugh at me because I love such a full bodied dark beer and my other favorite is totally at the other end of the spectrum being a pale ale fuu-fuu beer, which is:

  

  Oh I could go for one of those right now ice cold, yum!

  Cheers!

  it's been a nine year battle, but i'm finally graduating from college with a bachelor's degree and a certificate.

  it's important to me that this community knows that.

  there are probably a lot of you here who didn't allow themselves to go to college.

  this is the first time i've been on here in about a month, though trev has been posting some days, so i've been able to keep up with everyone's news.

  thankyou all so much for the well wishes you keep sending me, they all mean so much.

  apart from my other problems, i've had a really painful back injury for the last few weeks, which has made it impossible for me to sit comfortably at the pc.
