  JWs say its impossible for "worldly people" to be happy

  by shopaholic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've had 3 different jws tell me this over the past few weeks.

  basically their thinking is non-jws are not happy and when they appear to be its not real, its not a true happiness.

  according to them, non-jws use drugs, alcohol and wild sex to make themselves happy.

  Trying2understand,

  Your daughter's ex-boyfriend is not not playing mindgames. His mind is truly messed up. He truly believes what he's been taught by the Watchtower and he cannot be happy or think for himself until he stops allowing them to control his mind. I cringe every time I think of telling my then boyfriend he "had to become a Witness" before we married. We were barely married two years before I realized I no longer believed a lot of what the JWs taught.

  I wasn't raised by JW parents and always knew I was loved by my family. Unfortunately, I was a true believer. My parents waited for me to leave and I've yet to hear " I told you so."

  at least i gotta let it go...it is the only chance to save my marriage.

  have you ever noticed how so many poster here mostly have bitter/angry comments?

  of course we all have good reasons for that, but part of my goinsolo marriage counseling is to just breath deep and start letting go of my anger and frustration....esp related to my desire and efforts at waking up family and friends.

  What does she like to do? Think about the places you went an the activities you enjoyed together when you were courting. Be as romantic as a 16 year old. Surprise her with movie tickets or dinner at her favorite restaurant..

  Thank you for this thread. I listened to one of the old conference calls on Sunday. I look forward to listening to one mentioned above later this week. It helps in deprogramming.

  I remember the thoughts and feelings I experienced at one of the last meetings I attended during the summer of 2006. The topic was the danger of taking medication. I made a comment that people in pain need pain medication and won't become addicted if one is truly in pain. I knew my relationship with the WTS was over because I already had issues with people signing advance directives without really understanding the consequences of the document.

  I am very concerned for you as well as your wife. Please call the Mental Health Crisis hotline in your area and speak with a counselor TODAY. Speak to the counselor about you and how your wife's illness is affecting YOU. This is very important. If you are anxious and stressed out, you cannot help your wife.

  It would be great if your wife calls the Crisis hotline and speaks with a counselor. If she refuses, please call for yourself TODAY. This will help you formulate an action plan and help you cope with her illness.

  Would your wife be agreeable to visiting her doctor? Your wife may not agree to speak with a psychiatrist but may be agreeable to a visit with her medical doctor. If she agrees, go with her and speak to her doctor about your concerns in your wife's presence.

  Regarding nutrtion, the fresh fruits, veggies and fish are very good . Consider offer ing sandwiches because she can eat while moving. Observe her to make sure she eats balanced meals. Don't argue or nag regarding her meals; just wait awhile and her food later.

  12 year old trick or treater killed by gun shot...

  by FreedomFrog in

  2. friends

  sumter, s.c. (ap) a 12-year-old boy was shot to death through a front door while trick-or-treating with his family, shocking residents of a south carolina neighborhood where most people know each other well.. "i just hate it that that little kid got killed.

  it used to be the quietest place.

  i knew everybody and everybody knew me," vivian johnson, 81, said saturday.. she has lived for decades two doors from the house where the boy was killed and his father and brother injured friday night, but she said she does not know the people who live there now.. police offered no motive and said it did not appear the family knew the people in the house, which is off a busy, two-lane road in sumter, a city of about 40,000 people 45 miles east of columbia.

  This is not the first murder on Halloween and won't be the last. Several years ago a Japanese exchange student dressed in costume was shot and killed on Halloween night.
