  My 67 Year Old Elder Brother Is Depressed Because The Younger Elders Are Taking Over

  by minimus in

  he was the school overseer but they relieved him of that to allow younger elders the privilege of the job.

  now he is depressed and actually shed tears, believing his worth has diminished.

  Ageism - happens to the best of us .... once your over 50, look out, male and female - especially if your single -- good for cleaning, mowing, helping people to move, baby sitting, but responsibility, no, no.

  Isnt there a scripture that says respect those with white hair, responsible, knowledgeable people??

  Tell him not to be sad, he isn't there for men (or women)... but then he may walk away, who knows.. Power and control taken away and given to a youth, gawd forbid! What is this world coming too?

  Come on now.. my cousin is bi polar and had nothing whatsoever to do with Armageddon, or everyone is against you.. That mental issue is inherent in those with emotional, psych issues.. and there are stats on the fact 1 out of 3 now has the tag of some type of mental illness -- look over your shoulder....

  Cutbacks in hospitals, psychotherapists, putting those with mental illness on the streets, homeless, families cant handle them, pills... and on it goes,... they cant find or hold employment, persecution disorders, persecution complexes, things too many to mention....

  Theyneed help and there really, honestly isn't any.

  well i know i've been posting a lot of topics like this lately and i'm sorry if i sound whiny or annoying.

  my parents were asking me why i was so upset lately and i ended up just telling them the whole truth.

  i told them i don't believe in god or the bible because i don't have any evidence of anything.

  My son is still suffering from a PTS syndrome due to JW practises - never was df but s o called friends and family treat him as such, and he is older now and only came to certain conclusions a few years ago.. he has separated God from the WT business... and as we all know someday we will all die, how is anyones guess, but now my son is more at peace with himself, we all have to gain that peace and for those who have not denied that there is a God, but the WT has made Him what He is for huge profit and massive real estate enitity, their time will come - the Bible says the cleansing will start at the House of God- and since they are saying that the GB are His representatives on earth, guess that must be the place!

  Maybe Australia is just the start

  Tell them not to bother you again and you don't want any announcement made at any hall about you due to the privacy act or you will sue.

  Is that possible?

  Play possum -- unspecified illness, nerves, breakdown, meds, -- tired, doctors appts, etc etc etc the list goes on.. there are so many on pills and anxiety levels are so high, sickness all around -- they are putting this information out in the mags now, so the pubs can read it for themselves -- as usual, they hint at things they don't want to mention off the platform and then say it pertains to the "world"......

  Take it slow, your faith is lost in the organization and the clicques- the smiles that are shown but behind that is gossip and jealousies.. and we are told to put on the NEW personality????

  Its too bad there is not another way to get this information out to the RF.--. where they don't read anything but JW.org, they are happily content with the way the govt is handling the RC issues. Does anyone own a newspaper or would that be a privacy act thing in Canada? Just a big one pager stating Contis settlement, the hushed up payoffs prev to hers and what is coming down the pipe that wil have to be settled, In Canada, U S and Australia and Britain for starters.........

  It has to come out more boldly than it is now.

  Nope - already started, read a letter Tuesday night for $4.50 per publisher for worldwide support -- this is the 3rd or 4th time this amount has been passed for different things, insce, ww work, etc... all raised their hands, incl me, and no dissenting hands -- who would?? So that's another $300 out of the coffers

  JW.ORG REPORTS THE WATCHTOWER RESPONSE TO EBOLA

  by NAVYTOWN in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just checked the jw.org website and noticed an article about the jw response to ebola.

  as i suspected, the entire focus was on alerting and educating jw members about ebola.just like in other disaster situations, the jw organization almost exclusively assists it's own members, ignoring the general public.

  it seems their main concern is keeping their members healthy so they can continue to spread the jw message door to door!!!

  In the book - Our Ministry - I think it is - there are Q & A in the back of the book and one of those answers covers illnesses -that no one who love their brothers and sisters would come to a KH while contagious or sick.. wonder where that thought all went seeing that Ebola seems to be air borne now that the people getting sick and dont know how they caught it, seeing they were wearing hazmat type equipment and suited up.

  This will, no doubt, get out of hand in NA seeing that people make big mistakes, lie as to their travel arrangements- flying out of one ebola infested country to another " safe", clean country -- THEN coming into the NA continent.... hospitals and training is lax, in Canada, US, Mexico - and some who have been in contaminated areas see no wrong in walking among us without notifying medical personnell that they have been in contact with ebola or ebola patients. case in point is the U S news lady who refused to report to authorities and stayed in the public areas.

  What a way to wipe out an enemy????? and believe me -- I WOULD NOT be going D2d........

  He didn't mention where the branch was, and I would imagine he has visited a lot, so now everyone is running around all the branches like chickens with their heads cust, off asking, "Was it us, was it us he was talking about??"

  Maybe that is what happened to the decine in the branches, Morris shut them out!
