in recent years, i'm hearing more and more stories that suggest.
that the collective state of mental health among jws may be.
declining rapidly.
i think that most old time JW's are going nuts - I know my mom is slowly but surely losing it. And the part in the KM last night about the new tract was just pathetic. Basically a plea for bible studies.

when i was a witness, i often heard that if you left the trooth that you would become rich fast, have gratuitous sex constantly, become a drug addict and end up worshipping satan.
man am i disappointed!!
it seemed for the longest time that there was a giant conspiracy to keep me a poor working stiff just above the poverty line, especially so when i was going to college full time.
your points are all correct Room 215, I guess I just block out what everybody says to us and behind our back. I figure, I'd rather have 2 salaries than 1 and everybody who cares can go f**k themselves. only 3 1/2 months left in this religion.

i am not trying to push my religious ideas on any person in here.
some of you belive in the rapture, and others don't.
this is just a story, some will say yes it will happen this way, and others will say this is just a fictious story.
the blondie song was OK, i guess.

my wife and I make very good salaries for our age and we are saving alot of money and also buying ourselves things that make us happy. I don't believe that religion or specifically, Jehovah's Witnesses - especially in the year 2001 - have anything to do with your richness or poorness. its who you are as an indvidual and what you do w/ the knowledge that you attain. thats just my opinion.

so, what horrible or just plain silly thing have you guys experienced under the thumb of jw parents?.
i'll relate one-.
there was a time the 7th grade had won a contest for something.
i'm almost 25 years old and my mom never fails to belittle my entire life or criticize some aspect of it that she doesn't agree with.

jehovahs blessing makes us rich.
the blessing of jehovah-that is what makes rich, and he adds no pain with it.
materialistic pursuits govern the lives of millions today.
outlaw -
my understanding is that 951 million was total revenue, not total profit, and that it is virtually impossible to tell how much the WTS made last year.

chronic fatigue syndrone, m e, yuppie flu.
.
i dont know if anyone else has noticed the alarming number of jws who claim to suffer from chronic fatigue syndrone,i mean hear in cornwall there tend to be several sufferers in every congregation,outside the jws out of the many people i know i dont know anyone,although there are obviosly many outside the jws who suffer this illness,percentage wise it seems that jws have a much,much larger occorance of the illness.. for example my brother in law has not worked and been living on invalidity benefits for more than 10 years since his mid twenties,his brother is also in the same boat, an m.e sufferer.. i wonder if anyone has looked into this a bit more?
my mom claims to have chronic fatigue AND fybromyalgia. Pioneer sister, doesn't work - always tired. i think I believe her but I'm not really sure what to believe when it comes to that. I do know that she takes more pills than I take in 1 year. The witness cure all - she buys all of her pills from another person in her hall who quit his job to sell pills and make money using a basic pyramid scheme - of course everybody in the hall is involved. i guess thats another topic though.

does anyone who has left the organisation ever get scared at current world events and what they seem to be leading to?
more and more the governments are getting fed up with religion, there is now more than even a call "for" peace rather than "of" peace and security.
bin laden and his extremist religious views would give rise to the thought that governments will in the future be intent on eradicating religion altogether due to the trouble it causes.
comparing yourself to Jesus now, eh?

you know -
you'd be disfellowshipped right away if you went to my hall or any of the other neighboring halls. you either are (a) lying about your elders knowing what you do or (b) have an extremely liberal congregation - your hall (if what you say is true) is the exception, not the rule.

my votes:.
the best: as a group they're relatively color-blind (low to no incidence of racism among them ).. the worst: their stubborn refusal to see the good in anyone but themselves!.
what say you?
anyone who has been to a meeting in western PA (KKK land) knows that this is not the case. the JW's there are so racist that I said something to a few of them. JWs are NOT colorblind. thats a myth.
