my mom does and has every ailment under the sun.. i know more people that are under meds for depression than not.. fortunately, i do not suffer from depression but i wonder how many do or have, especially if you were a witness..
I had a very bad accident a few years ago - almost ended my life. It seems ever since my whole perception of life has changed. I just don't care anymore, and I do go through bouts of depression, negativity, etc. Its very odd why I feel this way, but I try to manage... don't like taking pills, and never will.
Like the previous poster I too go through panic attacks and feel like letting out a scream more than once and a while...
we've all known those fanatical witnesses who are guilty of pdf (public display of faith) and always have to make a big song and dance to the whole world and let everyone and their dog know they're a faithful witness of jay hoover!.
1) when my mother first came in 'da troooof' this wacky, over zealous 'sister' was studying with her - you know the type.
this woman was one of those not so subtle individuals who would always talk loud in conversation and say the name jehovah a million times even when the conversation could have been about basketball.
I hate to ask, and race aside, were any of these black brothers? The reason I ask is in my old cong we had a few who were straight out of holy roller baptist churches and were VERY colorful, for lack of a better word. I always chuckeled when the black brothers and sisters would go on about Jehovah, this and that - I swear it was like hearing a revival!!!!!!!!
so it's been a while since i've posted on the site to hello everyone.
i just am so irritated by these fools that i have to tell you guys about this.
so my husband was on his way to the store and he stopped to pump gas and there were some witnesses doing street witnessing and this brother gets out and comes up to him (i was at home, this is my hubby telling me about this) this happens to be the po of the spanish hall my mother goes to.
Biology course? Wait until you get to origin of species (evolution), unless you have already covered that. Now that will be interesting...

I had something similar (preachy/religious student - suspected it was a JW) in a class when I got my degree several years ago. I immediately went to the professor and indicated that I did NOT appreciate ANY form of religious activity in the class since I was paying for my education on my own. In addition, I explained that the class was NOT a theology course!!! After that, the person in the class did not so much as peep a religious idea!!! You may want to try this. Most schools take this seriously...
according to jw bible chronology , adam was created some 6000 years before 1975 & as armageddon hasn't arrived yet , he has been alone for all the equivalent years since then (despite the wtbts claiming that adam was only on his own for just a few weeks or months.).
luckily as a perfect man , he had no sexual desires.... .
adam felt no desires of sex.
Lars - did you see that special the other day on tv from one of the worlds foremost DNA doctor that indicated that a 2-3% variation exists between whites, blacks, and asians? This is leading others to believe that each race developed on their own without a common parent.
years ago when we were still witnesses, my wife was friends with a lady who wore the religion on her sleeve.. in fact, she divoriced her husband because he would not become a witness, it was a several year-long process but she finally succeeded in getting rid of him.. when she got her divorce, she decided to get certified as a nursing assistant, and she used us as a reference regarding her loan for school.. fast forward several years,,,,,, she gets remarried to an elder out in las vegas and continue to lives her ultra self rightous lifestyle as a jw.. but at least two times a year, the bank-loan officer calls us asking if we know where this "rightous" christian lady can be contacted.. she never paid one penny back for her education.
in fact, there is some kind of a warrant out for her, if she returns to illinois, she can be arrested.. so on one side, she is living out the jw fantasy in las vegas, but she can be thrown in prison for not paying her loan back if she comes back to her home state.. and she just loves to tell anyone what terrible people my wife and i are for walking away from the "truth".
send her a smartly worded reminder on facebook, or just leave it all alone ?.
Actually, you should contact her for her address because you want to send her something. Then call the loan officer and let them know of her new address and tell them that the calls need to end and to remove you as a reference and that you did your part.

Yes, stry... they were "light beings" according to the books you reference. Other books specifiy the same thing.
if a person retained a lawyer to draft up a document indicating that they no longer want to be an enrolled member (jw's) and therefore annul their baptsim, and send it certified mail directly to an individual named lawyer sitting at bethel, would they not be protected under attorney-client privilege and therefore non disclosure of the information with a third party?
i would think if this was the case and the information was forwarded to the boe, could not the bethel attorney be sanctioned or disbarred?.

Thanks again!
I did find this. This seems to be plausible, but is it geared to civil/criminal proceedings, and not private? I would still think that you could sue for libel/slander under tort laws...
