  2. bible

  is annihilation taught in the following passages?

  do these scriptures show that man can kill the body, but not the soul?

  the greek word for "destroy" in the latter part of matthew 10:28 is apollumi (apollumi), which means "to ruin" or "to perish.

  Mental illness among JWs: cause or effect?

  by kid-A in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there is compelling, published evidence (see link below) to suggest higher rates of mental illness among jws compared to other religious sects, and the general population.

  what is your opinion, is this because people with "susceptibility" to mental illness are more likely to be attracted to the lifestyle and psychology of the wts, or after joining and being an active member for years, the jw psychology and lifestyle are simply enough to push any psychologically healthy individual into psychopathology?
