I agree that family history plays a big part in depression, bipolar, and schizophrenia however many jw's eventually suffer depression
because of the expectations they can not live up to, let alone raising a family, working, and living up to all the meetings, study and
field service. People begin to burn out which leads to depression. I can not even count on 2 hands all the women or men in my congregation
who were on seditives or anti depressants.

i have no idea what i want to convey in words here on this site, and have surprised myself by even joining at all.
i intended just to read, and get a few pieces of information, and now am a member, and spend many hours looking through posts old and new alike.
i am a current jw, born into it, and lets just say i'm in my thirties, female, and a mom of more than your average kids.

Yes, pedophile and served 2 years
talk about a man who always gives it to you straight, and with a sense of humor, too.
never too gruff, but just gruff enough to ruffle some feathers and have a laugh with others as long as they don't take themselves too seriously.
the source of sage advice that's just too simple to be complete bullshit, he is actually more balanced than most.. he's the kind of guy you miss not knowing in real life.. .
3 cheers for outlaw......
Mostly because he's Canadian...lol
And a h*ll of a lot of fun.....
i'm not even sure where to begin with this.. my father is considered an apostate and i haven't been allowed to talk to him for 14 years.
now i don't even have any connections to him.
i don't know anyone he knows and i don't even know basic things like where he lives.. any help on someplace where i could look him up would be appreciated..
Wow fast finding....
mission statement is a brief written statement of the purpose of a company or organization.
ideally, a mission statement guides the actions of the organization, spells out its overall goal, provides a sense of direction, and guides decision making for all levels of management.. the mission statement of an organization is a short but complete description of the overall purpose and intentions of that organization.
it states what is to be achieved, but not how this should be done.. i will call it.... the three v's.... visions, values & views... what is your personal mission statement ?.
My mission is to stop waiting to retire to have fun.....
Be thankful every morning I'm healthy, wealthy and wise.......hehe.....
Wake up with a smile, never let anyone rob me of my joy and inner peace.....
Get hubby's addiction to the internet at bay.....lol
Pass my bike road test on Wednesday......whew who.......the roads are waiting.....
