When I was new to the JWs I was told that I shouldn't even go to the Weight Watcher's meeting that was held in a local church because it might stumble somebody.I can't imagine that they would tolerate going there to actually attend a service.I don't believe your sister would be interested in going there unless she were having doubts.

It was January 31of this year.I went on a call with a pioneer sister.The guy's father had given her his inactive son's address.He answered the door,she told him who we were and he said"Just a minute",left the door open,came back in a few seconds and said"Everybody here is sick,we can't talk to you right now".Of course,he had no idea we knew he was an inactive JW.Anyway,we left and that was the last door I knocked on.

Why so much mental illness among JW's?
by cherjcd ini have just added an audio tape on mental illness among jehovah's witnesses by jerry bergman.
http://www.jwinfoline.com/page/audio_tapes_of_month.htm.
it is interesting to hear the reasons why jehovah's witnesses have a much higher rate of mental illness than the normal population.

It's because of all the pressure put on them by the WT Society.They are led to believe they cannot miss a meeting or they may be killed at Armageddon.If they don't keep their field service hours up to the national average they may be killed at Armageddon.If they don't witness to their co-workers and school mates they may be killed at Armageddon.If they don't bring their kids up in it they may be killed at Armageddon.This pressure is always looming over JWs heads.No wonder so many go crazy.

Similar religions to JW
by Quincy inok everyone....i have noticed that there are a few other religions out there similar to the jw's.....for example...i have a friend who has a sister that who belongs to a non-denominational christian church.....she feels that her church is the "only way" to god...and also too it seems as though she looks down on anyone who does not go to her church....they have weekly bible studies on monday or tuesday nights...they even have a "field service" in which they go out to neighbors trying to get them to come to that particular church....does anyone else out there know about the other ones similar to the jw?

The Worldwide Church of God is very similar to JW teachings.It was started by that Armstrong guy(can't remember his first name,Herbert I think.)They don't celebrate Christmas and they will not allow their children to have vaccines.Similar to the JWs rejection of blood.

Living the JW 'simplified lifestyle'
by truman inthough i haven't heard as much about this concept in the last few years, during much.
of my tenure as a jw ('74-'01) there was frequent mention in the pages of the wt urging.
witnesses to live a simplified lifestyle.

That JW "simplified lifestyle" is a load of manure.The witnesses in my old Hall were some of the most materialistic people you could ever meet.When one pioneer sister got a new car everybody went out to the parking lot to see it after the meeting.I also noticed that a lot of them look down on others who are less fortunate.I've known some sisters who have had to quit pioneering so they could go to work and help pay for their style of life.The Witnesses are just as materialistic as anybody else.
