  i thought some of you would be interested to know that the local convention is being opened up to the general public.

  a friend of mine and i have both received notices at our door to this effect.

  my friend used to be married to a jw and he said that this is not their normal way of doing things.

  Do antidepressants really work? or placibo?

  by boy@crossroads in

  2. medical

  i've posted on freeminds for over a year now but i rarely post on the medical treatment forum.

  i believe i've had depression or some other milder form of depression for many months but i haven't gotten antidepressants for a couple of reasons 1.pride- i feel that taken antidepressants is admittion that i'm weak, 2. fear- i don't have health insurance and i'm afraid of the financial reprocussions of prescriptions and mental healthcare visits.

  3. i'm also afraid that by taking the medication it will have no affect (wasted money) or that i will be worse off after taking them than if i had done nothing.. give me some of your thoughts.

  SoSoSad

  1. social
  2. family

  i feel that nothing i say or do will ever make a difference for them or for others.

  they are so locked into, so imprisoned in their marriage to the wbts.

  they may never hear or see any real truth about the borg, no matter what i say and do, i know this every day; but some days it just hits me so hard.

  so i went for a ride and stopped by this scenic overlook not to far from my house.

  i sat on the bench there just looking at the mohawk valley at its best.

  i started thinking what a waste life is when you don't have anyone to share beautiful moments like this with.

  finally have the time to type more than a sentance.... .

  my name is, mike warren... that's my real age in my profile...& yes that's my real pic.

  though i was never baptized, i was raised in the silly religion... my parents started their study in early 1974 (at least i got 1birthday &1 christmas, not that i remember...) mom was baptized in less than a year after she started her study... it took my father about 7-8 more years to give up smoking, but he still made all the meetings & ruled with a leather belt.. i also have a younger sister that has faded (she got baptized).

  I am hurt, my wife had a miscarriage and still my family didn't contact me

  by jwfacts in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  two weeks ago my wife had a miscarriage at 11 weeks.

  it is very sad as it was to be my first child and my wife is already 39. what hurt the most though is that none of my immediate family contacted me.

  i was d/f in january and did not expect to hear regularly from my parents and sister.

  Another question about JW

  by Shazard in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  as i never been jw i can't understand why some of you bother writing some letters.

  if being in wt is not legaly binding (as i understood that baptism is not legaly binding), then who cares about writing.

  just stop going to kh and that's all.

  What are JW's taught about friendships with worldlies?

  by Worldly in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm new to posting here, but i've been lurking for awhile trying to find out more about the jw life, as i have a dear friend who is a jw, but there are many things i don't understand about him, and how he treats our friendship.

  i came right out and asked him once if it was true that he was not allowed to be friends with people outside of his religion, and he said "no, but we are encouraged to spend our time with "like-minded" people and that he had other friends besides me who weren't jw.

  we met at work and seemed to be very close, but i've always felt some aloofness.
