  How did 1975 affect you?

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i lived thru the 1975 fiasco.

  many here did too.. on another board there was discussion about the way the congregations were before 1975. some thought that they were like small country churches in some ways.

  we did our own work on repairs at the kingdom hall, like a family.

  i noticed after being a jw for a while that many members of my congregation were having to take antedepressants.

  (i counted at least 30 out of 100).

  after a few years i too began to have bouts of depression and problems with anxiety.

  What Is THE Number One Reason For JWs Leaving???

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  from what i can see, it's the "lack of love" that gets people to realize the witnesses don't have the "truth" after all!

  Do " Bad News Religions" Sell Better?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  probably you all noticed that when disasters strike, news papers sell better.

  the tsunami was a good example.

  is it that people love to read bad news rather than good news?
