JWs And Ex-JWs--Do You Struggle With Depression Because You Were A JW?
by minimus ini've seen how some are so burdened by the fact that they were witnesses, that literally, every day is a struggle.
are you in need of therapeutic help because you are or were a jehovah's witness?

Dont tell anyone.
Most Suicidal JWs stops reporting service before they comitt suicide. Very good for the WTS. Proves the danger of not doing service..

One prominet elder i my country, known as brother Furuli to some on this board, made a survey on mental health among JWs a couple of years ago.
The survey concluded that JWs had LESS mental problems the other non JWs!!!!!! Can you belive it!!
Yes of course. But the secret is the population he used. Furili (and a JW psyciatrist) investigated a number of PUBLICHERS. You know. People who do field service and drop of a report after every month.. He didn't, or wouldn't realize, that lot of JWs with problems stops doing that service things and thet made his survey a very good one for the WTS.
Just like a friend of mine, who was grown up in the troof and a baptized publishers for many years, he killed himself because of heavy mental problems last year. But that would not affect the statistics of the WTS because he stopped reporting hes servuce more than 6 months before he killed himself.
So the guy who killed himself was not a JW. JWs do not commit suicide ever.

microphones were the last straw
by ivy init wasn't the big stuff that made me decide i could never go back, it was one little thing.
i have been thinking about my journey out of "the truth", and i think i can pin-point the last straw.. .
i had been out for years, but always thinking that if i got my head together someday i would be good enough to go back.

The low quality of the assembly talks and the magazines made me think twice.
And the hilarious paintings and drawings in the litterature as well..

What movies make you think of the Borg?...
by Hecklerboy ini was watching a great sci-fi movie the other day (chronicles of riddick) and there was a phrase in the movie that jumped out at me.
a soldier was being promoted and he said the phrase "obedience without question, loyalty till underverse comes".
i thought "wow, just replace underverse with armageddon and that sound just like the witnesses".

Do elders/PO's really care?
by buffalosrfree inin 2003 a elder who happens to be the p.o.
of my wife's congregation visited me, a real nice guy, but i knew he had gotten the letter from the borg.
anyway like i said a nice guy he promised to call again real soon that was prior to the memorial of 2003, well the memorialo of 2005 has come and gone and he still hasn't come back to visit.

Yes!
They do care about their title and the power that comes with it. Not much more.
I think they are to busy with visible and mesurable things like doing speeches and
collecting hoursfield service.Showing real love doesn't count when the co is checking the numbers twice a year.

Serving 2 masters at once...
by JH in.
jesus said, you can't serve 2 masters at once.
so, with that in mind, is it possible to be a jw, go to the meetings and field service, and still come here on jwd and feel at ease posting and criticizing the watchtower on certain issues.
