  The WT and it's views on depression.

  by quellycatface in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as a few of you may remember, i suffer from bipolar.. when working at the uk home office, i was signed off by my doctor with depression and anxiety.. in the space of 11 months i was assessed by 2 home office doctors, both diagnosing me as unfit for work.

  i eventually left.. how therefore, can stupid little people in the kh say you'll be better doing fs, ministry school and being regular at meetings??.

  they have to be the most un-empathetic bunch of people on the planet.

  You said it, Wuz.

  I often liken the WT setup to that of a plantation.

  I believe Rutherford was a sharecropping landlord.

  so which biblical 'kind' is it, a sheep or a goat?

  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-26882203.

  a rare, hybrid animal that is part goat and part sheep has been born on a farm in the republic of ireland.

  I'm a creationist.

  This account in no way negates the Biblical statement that creatures are to reproduce according to their "kind."

  Goats and sheep (Bovidae) are no more different than are lions and tigers (Felidae) or angels and women (divine and human - in His image).

  Hybrid offspring is the result from the mating of each of the above.

  Just sayin.'

  it was really quite amusing 2day at the meeting when we got to the "this generation will not pass away" subheading in the wt.

  the conductor spent very little time on the section and the comments that were given didnt at all make sense really.

  you can tell its not understood by the majority of the friendsand will go over there heads, i was trying not to laugh lol.

  Now, now, Tik.

  Get to know him first.

  Stuck, you may want to point out that the National Geographic Channel is doing a special on the 10 plagues, Sunday, April 20.

  This show is strictly from an archaelogical standpoint, but seems to corroborate the Biblical account of the Exodus.

  You could point out how it's good to seek answers and explanations from other sources, and that we should use our God-given thinking abilities to try to figure out what really happened.

  For example, the narrative reports that the killer disease plague (#5) wiped out all the livestock of the Egyptians, but not those of the Israelites.

  Then, it's reported that the plague of hail (#7) killed every person and animal who had not taken shelter.

  Are these non-livestock animals that were killed by the hail? Are the plagues listed in chronological order?

  I would mention that it is not wrong to question; hopefully, this will set some minds to thinking.

  Blessings.

  Elderettes

  by snowbird in

  i lol whenever i run across this term because it aptly describes the elders' wives i've known.. bossy and domineering for the most part, they delighted in being the alpha females and watched jealously to see if any other female received undue attention from the body of elders.. i remember one who told me that my dress was too short, another said i was spoiling my daughter, and yet another wanted to know from where i was buying her clothes!.

  too much!.

  lol.. sylvia.

  Officious is exactly the word!

  Like the one who took it upon herself to tell me that she observed my daughter having an "intimate" conversation with a worldly boy.

  I swear that's the term she used.
