i was just reading an article about a 50 year old toronto psychiatric nurse who has had 10 years of horrible depression.
she has fought off suicidal thoughts, cried and sobbed on her balcony for hours on end, spent 6 months in bed, shunned food and friends.. today.....two years later, she is happy, full of energy, and feels like living again.
what happened?.
Hi!
At St Thomas's Hospital, London, they have been doing research on Omega 3 oils food supplements that have been effective for depression and other mental illnesses including schizophrenia. Magnesium, up to 600mg a day is also being used along with 50mg of B6.
Personally, I would go with the food supplements. No one's messing with my brain!!! Not with electric wires anyway and not with drugs either, come to think of it. Stick with the supplements!
my older sister, always a devout jw, or so we were led to believe......recently left home and went to live with her boyfriend!
hubby and self are faders, fading very nicely so far.
we went round for sunday dinner at my parents, who are devout jws and they had also invited my sister and her boyfriend.
Who cares about the kinky underwear, the make up, the profane lyrics!
He's a Jehovah's Witness! He's cleaned up his life and got married!!!!
This is why the Yorkshire Ripper is also acceptable as a Jehovah's Witness. They can do the dance to the Brooklyn tune. The rest, just don't matter! And if you can't dance, don't want to dance or can see the crap that shines through from the FDS, you're not going to survive!
I sometimes realise that I got my 'stupid genes' from my parents. That's why I stayed a JW for toooooo long!
As for Prince....well if she thinks that's the way to be....well...I'm speechless!
I'd rather have my sister 'living in sin' than living like him!

Does Prince write all his own songs, lyrics, music etc?
Just wondering.

Hi fleaman! LOL!
I think that's what the borfriend was singing, under his breath, whilst scowling....
Just shows though, that you only need to put on a show of being a JW, put in hours, talks, baptism, and other JWs are willing to put up with anything you do except for smoking, apostasy and fornication. The three unforgivable sins!
It seems to me that you only have to be willing to use the name 'Jehovah' and it's like some magical talisman that makes you a member of the 'survival club'.
i posted yesterday or day before regarding my anger at my wife being shunned the day after her father died.. in fact it was a very deliberate shun by 3 women who went out of their way to brush right past my wife.. i saw 2 of them today and went up to them in the school playyard and said very loudly for all the parents to hear:.
"i would like to thank you both for your condolensces and for walking right past my wife when her father had just died.. true christianity??
?.....isn't it lovely!!!!!!.
Hi chuckyy!
Glad you felt able to tell them off. But it's probably water off a ducks back to them. After all, they're just following orders from God's Faithful and Discreet Slave!
Not sure what you can do with JWs. Beginning to wonder how people can function with their thinking capacities turned off. But at least they were ashamed enough to walk off!
Very sorry to hear about you wife's father though.
Best Wishes to you and you wife.

'See!' Mum says holding the paper up in front of sister and bf. 'Even Prince has become a Jehovah's Witness. He has cleaned up his life like his mother asked him and got married. He gives talks and goes out on the preaching work. He is a baptised Witness. Why can't you be more like him...!!!!!!!'
Needless to say sister and me started laughing. For a very long time.......
The boyfriend started singing Prince songs....
That's about as Princelike as they're gonna get!
have you ever met someone and for some unknown reason this person just rubs you the wrong way ,i don't know if it's a vibe they give off or what but something that makes you dislike about that person.
my son who is 21 started to date this girl and there is something about her i so much dislike and i can't help the way i feel.
i have 4 grown kids all have dated and brought there dates home and i was receptive to them all but i cannot to this girl.
This is very difficult for you obviously but I should really try hard to work out what it is that bothers you about this girl.
My mum in law HATED me from the first moment we met and continues to do so with a vengeance. For various reasons there is no longer any contact at all between our family and hers but her venemous hatred of me is one of the main reasons.
I can look back honestly over the years that her son and I have been married and say that I've been good for him and he's been good for me. But her hatred has continued.
Your gut feeling might be correct in which case you should stick with it BUT, there's a chance you could be wrong. So, if you don't want to lose your son over this you should really find out what is bothering you or else...zip it!
By the way....don't panic! She may just be passing through and before you know it another young lady will be visiting you....so hang loose!
One more thing whilst I'm here.....saying or doing something unkind or unpleasant to this girl is something you can't go back on, won't be forgotten and will likely not be forgiven. The pain of rejection from someone is as real as stabbing them in the heart so...tread carefully...please!
Best wishes and be careful!
it's been one hell of a week so far peoples!.
it was my oldest son's birthday on tuesday, he was twenty.
for those who do not know, we are a quietly faded away from dubland family.
LUST!
But in all seriousness now, probably lack of self estem, need for love and attention, bad parenting by a truly horrible father who says really horrible things to her as well as hitting her..... being a sex starved JW!!!!

Infact, we usually blame our kids naughty behaviour on their grandparents' gene pool!
What with us being so goody-goody!

This boy must get his bad habits from his grandparents!
