  Did the JW life, cause anxiety?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  often i heard the elders say, "when a person is physically sick, they should go see a doctor, and in the same way, when you're spiritually sick you should go see the elders".

  so, they compare themselves to doctors.... so, for the sake of it, let's say a jw went to see a doctor and complained about anxiety due to jw meetings and their way of life, and being stressed because the watchtower asks too much.. now lets say the doctor would say, the cause of your problems is your religion, stop going and you'll feel better !

  so, you go tell the elders that the root of your anxiety is the meetings and field service and all the stress related to the jw religion.

  I don't bump into witnesses anymore...............

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember years ago, i couldn't pass a day or two without seeing a witness someplace, either walking or in their cars going door to door or just traveling to the hall.

  often i'd see them at the grocery store or at the bank.. but it's been months now since i've seen a witness.

  gee it's fun not to run into them anymore.

  Ozzie's Weekend Poll #153 What did you look at first?

  by ozziepost in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  sorry we're a bit late for the downunder mob, but you in the regions of the northern hemisphere may still be enjoying your weekend.. misspeaches: you could read this when you get to work in the morning, eh?

  anyway, as promised in an earlier thread, it'd be amusing to compare notes on this one:.

  what part of the magazines did you look at first?.

  While You Were A JW, What Things Struck You To Raise Your Eyebrows?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'll never forget the time the circuit and district overseers told the elders that from now on the elders would be solely responsible for all judicial matters and that if anyone was going to get sued, it was not going to be the society.

  at that point, the 2 overseers laughed outloud.

  i knew we were going to get screwed for sure because the watchtower society was already setting us up.
