  I was 17 when I met the Witnesses. I was already married with one child. I had been raised a strict Catholic (hated it) and had left Catholicism. I was looking for security for my family and when I heard of the "Paradise Earth" and all that went with it I believed I had found it. Much to my dismay.

  Poor Quality Psychiatrist At Bethel??? Would they ever tell GB Members they

  poor quality psychiatrist at bethel???.

  would they ever tell gb members they are are delusional for thinking they are god's sole channel on earth??

  that's what these guys need isn't it a psychiatrist that is both skillful and brave enough to tell the gb and other higher ups that they are suffering from dellusions of being god's channel of communication.

  Sport: bringing out the worst in JWs

  by Pleasuredome in

  2. friends

  in my time involved with the jws, i used to play a lot of football nearly every week with the bros. i used to find it amazing and laughable how some, including elders, would start name calling and getting aggresive, sometimes to the point of making threats.

  it made me realise that football and other sports can show the true character of individuals.

  has anyone here experienced things like this when playing sports with jws?

  I remember when it was frowned upon for a Witness to play sports because it was a "worldy tradition in honor of false gods and competition which honored them". Anyone else remember?

  amanda and i arrived at approximately 5:45 pm, and parked in the walmart parking lot.

  amanda bought a folding chair and something to eat, as she just got off work.. we walked across the street to the kingdom hall and stood on the shoulder of the road.

  This was so long ago I don't remember the book we were in at the weekly book study. I was still pretty new (not baptized - about 17 years old) and there were other same age people there as well. The subject was how Jehovah would protect his people at Armageddon as he did with Jonah in the whale. In this book, there was a story about a man who had been actually swallowed by a whale, became a lunatic and died from the experience, unlike Jonah whom Jehovah had protected and rescued. The study overseer asked a young brother "who was it that came out of the whale a raving maniac? The brother answered "Jonah!" I started laughing and simply could not stop. The thought of it haunted my mind for the entire hour and I tried to stifle the laughter but could not even with tears pouring out of my eyes, and the study continued without pause, just like the piano player in a western movie.

  It has been great fun reading all of your experiences here. You are all one healthy witty group.

  Bars, churches, celebration of holidays, voting, accepting medical advice, even if it involves a transfusion, trusting the world (a bit), being happy without serving Jehovah!
