i know it's a touchy subject, but anyone here has ever thought of suicide while they were still in the organization?
it seem to me that jehovah's witnesses have a much higher rate of suicide than the rest of the population.
i contemplated suicide myself when i was struggling to get piece of my life back together after being raised as a "perfect little jw" when i was young.
This is why depressed people seldom get over the tendency to depression even when outside situations improve.
Gopher, here's some anecdotal evidence for you.
I suffered from depression while I was an active dub. Suicidal, taking-medication, seeing-the-doctor depression.
I'm not an active dub and am putting that stuff behind me. I'm not depressed anymore.
My outside situations improved. I'm no longer depressed.
even if they aren't running, who would you like to see as the next president?
?
Not "funny ha-ha"...
more like "funny uh-oh"
so next seasons district convention i plan on doing something fun.
something that may make us all famous on youtube.. okay, i dress up as an ancient israelite (quick body robe + beard), and during the drama i run out with a megaphone shouting "no!
i am the faithful and discreet slave!
Stick with the bible-themed costume. That way you can better explain to the police that you weren't trying to incite panic but just distrupting a religious meeting. They would probably be more lenient toward you. If you wear the Scream-type costume, your intentions wouldn't be so easy to prove.
Oh...and wait till you get the right combination of stage "guards." Too many younger brothers would get to you quicker than if they were all 60 and over.
Also, wait till after lunch. People will be sleepier and not as quick to respond. Every last second you can squeeze out of this stunt is valuable.
Last, but not least, be sure to PM me with a link to the YouTube video.

I'd like to see Hilary Clinton as the next president, just because it will pi$$ everyone off if she wins. I like a good joke, and that one would last at least 4 years.

sorry..double post
my advice to any victim of jw's that would complain about sisters wearing these pretty dresses would be to take a pair of scissors with them to the hall and cut the strings off right in front of the complainers and ask if that is better.
go strapless!
How about a dress made with real spaghetti for straps. Yum.
regarding the wts's decision to create a members only wt edition.
are they expecting wonderful revelations.
of new light or are they just quietly awaiting holding back their speculations?
I just think that the new watchtower will be a relief to those who have to place the WT and Awake out in field service. They don't have to answer embarassing or uncomfortable questions at the door or with return visits concerning some WT-speak the householder finds in the middle of the WT. I think this will make the field service work less stressful and easier for the witnoids. Meanwhile, they still get to be part of the "exclusive" and "priveleged" club that understands loaded terms like "pioneer," "meat," and "faithful and discreet slave" in strange and unique ways.
To the average brainswashed, lazy-brain witnoid, this new version of the WT will be a boon.
how many on this forum enjoy drinking wine or beer?
on what occasions do you drink wine or beer?
these are start off ?
I enjoy both wine and beer on occasion. I just love the flavor possibilities.
I have acquired the habit of ordering a glass of Chardonnay with my meal whenever I eat at an Italian restaurant. Well, except Fazoli's. They always give me weird looks when I ask. (ew...just kidding, I think Fazoli's is disgusting. For those of you who don't know what Fazoli's is, it is a chain of "fast food" Italian.)
I am partial to Mexican beers. My favorite is Negra Modelo. Tecate isn't bad. Coronita is divine. Beer and Mexican cuisine go together so well, I think.
I love a good, hearty lager every once in a while. Guiness Extra Stout and Newcastle are a couple of a good ones. There is nothing like drinking a liquified loaf of bread in one sitting. lol...that's what it seems like, anyway. Does anyone have any recommendations? PM me, if you do. I'd like to learn of some good brands.
For just plain lounging around the house after a bit of work (or after a bit of lounging around the house for that matter), my favorite Pilsner comes to mind: good ole Budweiser.
Oh, and I avoid light beer if I can. What is the point?
even if they aren't running, who would you like to see as the next president?
?
I'd vote for Stephen Colbert!
