Has anyone been outed by jw health care workers?
by purrpurr incarrying on from audespare thread.
i was wondering how common it is for a sinner/apostate to be outed by a babbling jw care worker?
say you went to your dr because you were pregnant and unmarried or wanting counseling for having to live a double life as a pretend jw... and a jw secretary at the drs office saw this on your file and went tattling to the elders?.

Finding my mental condition getting worse not sure what to do?

I strongly recommend Heal Your Headache The 1-2-3 Program by David Buchholz, M.D. of John Hopkins. I refer back to this book all the time.
It discusses all the triggers of migraines. You will be totally surprised what foods and things in your home will increase your headaches. Many things in the environment also play a major role in migraines. Stress is one of the major factors.
A lot of medication will trigger migraines.
Simple things like changing your laundry detergent and softner to a free and clear will help tremendously. Remover all air freshners from your home for a couple of weeks then replace them with natural scents like lemon. Be careful of cleaning supplies.
PM me if you have any questions, I have fine tuned my house. My daughter calls it the Free and Clear Zone. LOL

Wedding was at a Lutheran Church and reception was at the Bethesda Naval Officer Club we had 200 guest for dinner and dancing this was Saturday night. But the partying started on Wednesday night, Thursday night, Friday night, bridesmaids and bride started at 8 AM with breakfast, spa, late lunch and then off to the wedding at 7 PM. Then Sunday was a brunch for about 50 people from 11 till 2.
OK so we are Italian and we like to party.

Galatians 5:26 was used in and before the 1960`s to not be involved in competitive sports for yourself or for your children
by smiddy inmyself and my peers in the jw organization in the 1960`s discouraged our children from entering into competitive sports because of the jw policy , regarding that scripture .. has their been a radical change since then ?
a re-interpretation of that scripture ?.
why i ask this question is : here in victoria australia where afl football ( aussie rules ) is often regarded as a religion , especially to the state, victoria , we have, according to the media , a devout jehovah`s witness playing professional afl football at a competitive level.. and at their latest win , the team , including alec rance a jw of the richmond club was enthusiastically singing the club victory song along with his teammates on their win .. are their other examples of this in other parts of the world or is this an australian hiccup.. smiddy.

The booklet on Families does discourage a high school boy from joining the school football team. Could lead to bad associations, you know us worldy folks are so evil. This was one of the points which the "Elder" and I were arguing, well let me rephrase that I asked that as 1 of many questions and he said good bye have a nice life. Oops no questions. LOL -

New Article - Watchtower View of Homosexuality
by jwfacts ini have thought about writing this article for many years, and the awake!
2014 no.4 was the final straw.
there it states that jehovah's witnesses show no prejudice towards homosexuals, and "they neither mock nor mistreat people whose practices differ from their own.

An Atheist gives Credit To Religions
by smiddy ineven though i now consider myself an atheist and have little time for religion as such , i have to acknowledge that some religious institutions , and even some i would consider a cult more so than others , do a fantastic job in the field of charitable works.. for so many in our communities who are disadvantaged ,in one way or another , the down and outs , for a better phrase , those that have succumbed to alcoholism , drug dependency , mental illness in it`s many forms , homeless people , juveniles suffering abuse of one sort or another at home , domestic violence , etc.
etc.
the list just goes on and on .. yet their are religious charitable institutions who are at the forefront of helping these people offering and lending a hand both physically , emotionally , and even financially to support these people without judging them .. so even though i consider myself an atheist i can commend what these religious institutions do to for these people... i can`t say the same thing for jehovah`s witnesses who will take , take , take and give nothing in return.. smiddy.

Smiddy and Tailsin, are correct there a lot of these charities out there. On these forums I read exJWs wanting something to do all these places will welcome helping hands and it is a great way to meet new people. They are all run by volunteers. -

LV101,
Healthcare in the US really needs some serious work unless you can afford one of the better policies but still the deductibles can be killers. I have always had great insurance but managed 5 times to hit what is classified as catastrophic losses according to the insurance company where my out of pocket expenses reached $5,000 for the year. I just wonder how the average family can afford such an expense.
The elderly is another ballgame and I am in that one with my mother. I attempted to care for her. Well that just did not work out. Long story short, the County Sheriff and Social Services had a long talk with me and said for my safety she needed to be placed in a locked down unit at a nursing facility NOW. Apparently they had my house on watch status for my safety LOL. Well we had to pay $6,000 a month for 4 years till we drained her bank account down to $2,000 before Medicare would start paying one red cent. All this time they could play with drugs to keep her from beating the crap out of people. See when I took her to the doctor or ER most of the time she was such a sweet old lady except the time she knocked out the EMT driver and the time she came after me in front of the Sheriff with a butcher knife. Such a nice old lady. BTW, she is still alive and still trying to beat up the other patients and staff at 89. And she has managed to escape 4 times this past year thus why she has an ankle monitor. She can only make it to the parking lot.

Leaving the JW's is like a game of Poker....
by Turquoisepeace inleaving the religion can be likened to a game of poker.
many possible scenarios can be played out during the game and the potential loss or gains are many:.
you have put too many chips in, every round it just seems you will win it all in the end.

Turquoisepeace,
Great OP, never a JW but all of life is a poker game. I myself I would say I have been a high stakes player but I fight the fights that most other people just walk away from. I will do the research find the loopholes, laws or whatever it takes to get what it takes to make it happen and win at the game.
Talesin, is correct life is a gamble and it is how you play the game. I was forced to short sale my last home which was devalued during the recession by an unbelievable amount. Same as a lot of folks. Both the bank and I lost a huge amount of money. Well everyone banks, realtors, finance people, creditors all told me lady you cannot buy anything for three years that is it!! Not this Rebel or Fighter she will find a loophole. Three years equals 1 year 4 months and 10 days and it only took that long because I was having trouble finding the right house then the As Is Seller was doing $7,000 worth of requested repair work. My realtor looked at me after closing and said As Is do not do repair work you know that. I said but they did because we you and I asked them too. He said maybe I should try this again in all my years I have never seen that happen.
