How Many JWs Have You known Who Have Commited Suicide?

by Was New Boy in

james olsen and richaed wheellock both bethelites.. rich templet.

rich and james out of guilt, richard out of depression.. james and rich were both under 30 years old.. after richard wheelock (a bethel heavy) killed himself the society changed it's stand on whether suicides could be resurrectioned or not..

Only one that I recall is our mutual friend James mentioned in your opening post here.

That was a shocker though. Jumped from a building at Bethel. Poor kid just wanted to come home and have a regular Jw life, but his parents kept the pressure on the 'serve Jehovah in this special place'. RIP Jim.

OTWO's wife raised chicks for her classroom kids, and they needed a home. They have joined our other chickens in the brooder and will soon enjoy better digs when moved to the Chicken Condo.

I take good care of chicks I pick up!

Well, couldn't find pictures of the precise chicks. But you get the idea.

OTWO and I went to lunch yesterday. We both ate pizza at a wonderful little place in South Bend Indiana. While we ate, IsaacAustin called and I got to speak with him for the first time on the phone. Nice day for a drive and lunch with a friend.

Afterward I picked up two black chicks and took them home. I will post a picture of them below!

this highly explosive six screens of the watchtower april 9-2011 conference call is now up loaded and ready to be heard.

concerned people from all over the world were calling in to get the latest news on what is going on in the world of the watchtower.. our first guest was barbara anderson and she brought us up to speed on the criminal complaint the watchtower organization is facing in australia.

barbara as always wants the facts straight and delivers her information in a very professional,competent manner.. steve guziec a former j.w.

There is SOME refreshment to be taken from all this, from my neutral position in it [I have neither heard it, nor do I really care to be honest]:

This shows that former Jw's are not Jw anymore. They have opinions, ideas, differences, desires, are willing to argue, cajole, lie, play games that offend, or kiss asses as desired! They have become individuals - a word that struck fear into our former masters' hearts.

As Jw's we mostly just stayed in our nicely formed cookie-cutter mold and smiled, nodded and took our meds to cope. This IS progress, though arguably, not the easiest maze to navigate as we go.

To this aspect of the entire thing I must say a hearty 'Bravo'.

An exodus from faith. Deconversion from Christianity and ones eventual progression into atheism. Highly recommended!!

"who doesn't like a good de-conversion story?

i'm sure we have all read or heard of many, but rarely have i found any as eloquent, comprehensive and deeply descriptive as this one by an ex-christian on youtube, by the name of taylorx04.. the full video series is over an hour long and covers a great many of the standard arguments used both by atheists and apologists, describing in detail the exact mental gymnastics involved in changing one's mind on a matter of faith".. .
