A better question would be:
Does anyone who has been a JW NOT know someone mentally unstable?
I knew lots of them!
Certain brothers' actions could only be explained as "that's just who they are".
To pick a specific example, a brother said he saw aliens.
Another time he said that he gave a ride to an angel. (he knew it was an angel because it disappeared after he dropped it off)
yet another time, he said that he saw and interacted with an anointed brother after the anointed brother died.
There's lots more where those came from...

losing the plot for jehoovah
by jacethespace inhas anyone ever met people whithin the kingdom mall that are seriously mentally unstable to the point of completly losing it?.
for example ive heard from members of my cong that we once had a guy who believed he was an angel and would try to eat the bread and wine at the memorial evening[ and the elders would stop him].theres been many others ive heard of.at one assembly a poor old guy was giving a talk and i overheard someone i know mention how " he gives good talks but hes had a big nervous breakdown over the years".
i was suspicous when i heard these things then but now all these things start to fit into place.i mean how can an organization who professes gods backing have so much mental instability.. .

I used to be an MS. I have a sibling who is in Bethel.
I think if they are on this board, they probably are getting the hell out of dodge. -

Little fun game
by JH ini was googling "multitasking test" and found this....but the instructions are in german, so i used bable fish translation to translate the first sentence, and it says to click and hold on the red square, and try to move it around without the other pieces touching it..... i didn't try to translate the rest, i'm to lazy.
.
let's see how long you can go without any pieces touching the red square.. http://www.pamela.abraxxs.com/multitaskingtest.htm.

In regards to DF'd - no resurrection.
In regards to suicide... well, that one is up in the air.
The borg has changed it view from "Not gonna happen" to "maybe if we like them" mentality. -

What Did Noah Do With All The Animal manure Piling Up In the Ark?
by frankiespeakin inthey were in the ark for such a long time, must have been pretty messy not to mention unhealthy, must have been a high mortality rate, causeing wide spead disease, and death due to the very unsanitary condition in that ark?
imagine being locked up in that mess for a moment..

[take with humor intended] Well, according to the Borg, fermentation didn't exist before the flood.(I will have to get exact proof)
Hence Noah didn't know that he was going to get drunk.
So we can also assume that all that crap didn't break down the same either.
Knowing this, there must have been already a thousand of years of crap on the earth (thus another reason for the flood).
So all the animals, plus Noah and family were already used to the poop just sitting around.
No reason at all for removing it.
