when you were a witness did you get depressed around the holidays ?
tell me what your feelings were then and now.
Hey my friend, you need some counseling. Suicide is no answer Ok ? It does not hurt you only those who love you. Dying is easy but suffering the loss is much harder than the dying. Please if you are serious about committing suicide all the time then please get some help. I would really not want you to do that.
Heh. Send me some cash and I'll get a doctor ASAP. Until then I'll go to sleep imagining I have a gun to my head.
my mum has been inactive for the best part of a decade.
the other week, the daughter of the woman my mum studied with to become a jw popped over to see mum (they are good friends).
the daughter was saying how she probably won't get baptised herself as there is too much she doesn't agree with, but that she thinks jws are right.
What's Panorama?
And yeah, anger is natural. I'm usually angry. The thought of Jewsus, Jehoka, or any of that brings bile to my throat and makes me want to burn Bibles.
i can't beleive that some people are actually agreeing with this illustration...it's sickening.
i don't know if any of you had the displeasure to read the dec 1 2005, watchtower?
(page 6) with the nice subject of harmageddon.. well, one paragraph is about "how can a loving god make war?
I must be in the minority on this thread.
one of my favorite bands is deicide.
i'm sure it's not to any of your tastes, but they have done a few songs that are, to me at least, obviously about the jws.
their vocalist and writer, glen benton, wrote an article about the jws on their site but i can't get into the site anymore.
I guess him being one of my heroes sucks, huh?
didn't know where to put this so i figured here was as good as anywhere.
if you don't like this location, go ahead and move it.. i was raised as a jw.
around 14 i stopped believing, for the most part.
Counciling? Yeah I've seen therapists since I was in Middle School. Can't afford one now though.
.
its funny that jehovahs witnesses oppose satan and are looking forward to him being destroyed after armageddon seeing as if it wasnt for satan using the serpent to tempt adam and eve to eat the fruit we wouldnt even be here today as humans wouldnt have inherited sin and imperfection, death wouldnt occur therefore there would have only been one generation of humans after adam and eve fulfilled the purpose of filling the earth.
obliviously the current generation of humans wouldnt be here now so we can now come to the conclusion that satan gave us life.
Your argument really is applicable to Christianity as a whole, and not just JWs.
i will no longer feel guilty about following my own conscience......
if i want to donate to a needy child's christmas fund, i will not feel guilty....
i will give presents to my family when i feel motivated - guilt free......
Being raised as a JW means that a lot of the morality is hardwired into me. Some things don't bother me at all, like the whole blood issue. Don't care. But some things, mainly sexual issues, really bug me. I have a really messed up and confused brain when it comes to that kind of topic.

Finally, me and the JWs agree on something.
one of my favorite bands is deicide.
i'm sure it's not to any of your tastes, but they have done a few songs that are, to me at least, obviously about the jws.
their vocalist and writer, glen benton, wrote an article about the jws on their site but i can't get into the site anymore.
In a good way or a bad way?
ah theocratic warfare, how we love to hate you.
the more literature i see left out pointed in my direction, underlined or highlighted of course, the less i want to consider their point of view.
it just reinforces my decision to leave even more.
