  Depression and big pharma drugs

  by Anonymous666 in

  i'm going to drop a bomb shell here for all you who think you know something about depression.

  most depression cases are being cause by the food and drug administration.

  they are putting things in certain foods that they know will affect certain people especially those who have gluten problems.

  Anonymous666 - I think most of our food is unhealthy/toxic plus the ongoing chemtrail spraying is horrific -- quite decorative skies. Adele Davis documented decades ago the mental institutions were full of mentally-ill patients addicted to flour. Many nutritionists acknowledge white flour is poison and one researcher on Substack refers to it as 'crack' and a very dangerous substance plus makes people fat. Nothing new -- we've been reading about fattening, unhealthy, carbs, for years. Flour is only one poison. Apparently, rats in flour factories won't touch white flour. Oh my - the human, flour, addiction.

  The FDA is not the only factor for mental illness/depression but many are clueless the toxicity of our food supply. Just read how poisonous my 'organic' almonds, walnuts, cashews, from Whole Foods/Sprouts are -- I give up! US is one unhealthy nation. Can't be as toxic as the antibiotics from the oral surgeon -- never felt so weird in my life!

  the watchtower—study edition | march 2025. keep walking by faith.

  7 note how javier, a brother in south america, saw the need to walk by faith.

  he says: “i had applied for a prestigious job that would double my salary and provide considerable personal satisfaction.” however, javier had the deep desire to pioneer.

  Longy - I was not member in 1975 - not ever considered a "member" per rules/regs. but I recall all the 1975 hype from a friend who nixed our Baptist church and a family member who was being brainwashed around that time - surreal. Decades later I started reading the mags and lost it - me mind! Unreal -- I have friends/family that have told me for years I'm a hard sell and yet became a lamb off to the slaughter. Not making excuses for my mental slippage (oh my) but on the old H20/Hourglass site ? were psychological articles attributing the persuasion/mind control of the publishing cos. journals - WT/Awake. They indicated it's main tool. Most likely posted here on this site. Couple gals on my delivery of the mags became addicted within few mos. They eagerly waited for them and asked for referral when I stopped - seriously!

  I never lock stepped w/the club nor did I fit in w/the cliques although told one must stay in that arena - quite a club! Never happenin' - had my own social life, way to busy.

  We're the vamoosed club!

  Hey, Longy & Magnum -- you both have/had more faith than I that the charlatan leaders believed their looming end drama. What a great recruiting/labor scheme/motivation. I remembered the 1975 hype couple decades before I started reading the effective, propaganda, mags. Quite a shtick.

  Hope your wife finds a great job, Magnum. Hearing more employers prefer older, mature, responsible, reliable, employees, although challenging times on the horizon w/overseas cheap labor and AI takeover.

  Enjoy that retirement, Longy -- I'm sure your JW acquaintances/friends from yesteryear would love to have one.

  Thank goodness we all skedattled from the mess.

  Whatever Happened to Those who returned to JEHOVAH

  whatever happened to those who came back to jehovah?

  due to slow growth and the constant scrutiny from governments like norway in relation to their harsh disfellowshipping practices,last year in a move that no one expected the watchtower for the first time extended an olive branch to all those who left the organization or were disfellowshipped in the past.considering this practice was introduced over 60 years ago and with a rough estimate that around 100,000 leave jehovah’s witnesses every year the total number is in the several millions.so we should have expected millions to have accepted this invitation and rejoined the organization, the result though was an abysmal few thousands according to a recent jw update.. so now, for the first time, the latest watchtower study magazine for april 2025 gives us an inside view on how this reintegration is coming along, and it doesn't look good!.

  Longy -- they'd be on your heels re/your assets. My friend is trying to duck the nosy friends set up to slyly investigate her financials. I told her to schedule legal appt. to protect her assets asap. People (old 'friends' aren't stupid) know you've home, retirement, etc., etc.

  Longy -- there's some 'entitled' members in religion (perhaps more in jw.com) and can't tell you how many times I heard this or that bro/sista doesn't share from the pro JW deadbeats. It's sad -- no one wishes anyone going hungry/cold but knowing the facts and the deadbeat landscape -- oh my. They seem to swarm in JWism since poverty is encouraged. Org must count on the 'deadbeats' recruiting older ones with big pensions/estates for the corp. to seize at their demise. I can't tell you how many older couples around who've no children thus perfect candidates. They clearly don't care about children and disadvantaged - training for work.

  I'll have to pay attn. to downvotes! I vote your posts re/'deadbeats' be read from the platform in all halls.😂 I've heard about the 'deadbeats' in the mainstream religions, also. Ask any business lawyer/litigator but I don't think they come close.

  Unfortunately, many have been raised to skate in life and not work hard. I always thought if your last name wasn't Rockefeller ya work or ya don't eat.

  Longy - love 'deadbeat' and I've had to work on spewing 'loser' and 'thug' from my vocabulary. Your replies/phrases are decent. Afraid my vernacular would not even be close!

  Not trying to derail your topic, Sea B -- per Vigilant News (The Vigilant Fox/Substack, Jan 7, 2025, X, etc.) "Joe Rogan Raises SERIOUS Questions About the Big Bang Theory." He apparently had discussion with Bible scholar Wesley Huff. I think JR has podcasts on Spotify. Rogan expresses his doubts about the Big Bang theory saying it's "much crazier than anything that any religion is proposing."

  I'll make time to watch before day ends, hopefully.

  Sea B - Horrific what you endured as a young teen (and adult) because of religion. Unfortunately, laws not in place to protect young ones years ago and not great today. There are throw-away teens on the street right now through no fault of their own -- sad. Many charitable groups/orgs trying to help but more need to be aware -- these are young teens for God's sake!

  Enjoy every minute of your successful life, beautiful homes and family.
