  i am a lifelong jw, a born-in true believer for most of my life.

  eventually i had the awakening and have been pulling away from the religion, even though we still attend meetings.

  i am willing to keep up appearances if it means saving my relationship with my wife and our close family.

  Speaking for myself it took time, I also really did not give a rip in doctrine and i had been a regular pioneer for 10 years, I guess i had enough of doctrine. My husband did get me to come on this site and I did take a look and saw some light stuff and a few days later I started to post. Then I was totally away but the more I read of others experiences the more I could see this was not a small congregational thing here and there, this was major everywhere.

  Soon after I decided to get "Combating Cult Mind Control" Truly that is the book that help me over come the fear of Armageddon and what if Jw's are right. It was such an eye opener for me. I might suggest if you have the book to discuss it with her chapter by chapter or read some at night in bed. For me I felt a peace come over me and all my fears were gone.

  What "lightweight" but delicious foods do you enjoy?

  dear hearty appetites:.

  my weight-loss and toning-up campaign is proving successful.

  giving up a few of my fave foods peculiar to my ethnicity [temporarily because i tend to go overboard] has not been so hard as my current regime of complex carbs, fruits, vegetables, fish and fowl is satisfying.

  I really like Salads, Greek in particular with feta. I like light pasta's, garlic is great and healthy too. I like stir Fry's and curry chicken which

  I tried for the first time in England this year...it was to die for, so good.

  There is a recipe in an Oprah book I bought oodles ago I just love....which I am not sure where I put it but its making me

  hungry...

  No, I can't say I have although I was also in a very long time. I feel Steves book helped me to over come all my what if's

  and finally gave me closure to feeling any guilt or fear...

  hello everyone, my wife and i are currently associated with jw's.

  my mom converted when i was 3 years old in 1975, my wife was born after her parents converted.

  about 4 years ago however, my wife and i have seen many things that have discouraged us enough to start doing some research into the validity of this religion.

  Please read Steve Hassan's most excellent, "Combatting Cult Mind Control" if you have not already done so. You'll be glad you did.

  I agree this is a must read.....

  COULD ‘ANYONE’ SUFFER FROM DEPRESSION….??

  by Mr. Majestic in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  being in the organisation for most of my life i have seen so many people suffering with depression.

  but a friend of mine recently said that it was impossible for them to suffer from the condition, because of the mental strategies they have in place to cope with hard times, and a mental resilience that they attained from a balanced stable upbringing..... .

  could it be true that some people have a natural immunity to such a debilitating mental condition....???.

  I don't think anyone is immune from depression, I've always thought I was super strong and even I have

  suffered depression. Things happen in your life that at one point you can not cope with, so you begin to withdraw from life

  until you hit a low point and then it is hard to pull yourself back up without help.

  Sometimes it can be a chemical imbalance, sometimes it follows family hereditary factors, my father suffered depression at times for years and his

  sister suffered depression a hidden one no one new what so ever. Some people hide it very well as she did, she committed suicide she was a

  Registered nurse and well liked. And then its just what life throws at you.
