Insomniacs...your tricks for staying asleep?
by restrangled inpersonally i have tried ambien,....yes puts me out but i am up in 2 to 3 hours.....heavy doses borrowed from those taking it for years.
they are shocked it dosen't keep me down.
i just wake up woozey....i hate it.. i can fall asleep easy but just dont stay asleep....its absolutely awful.. i wake up probably 3 times a night if not more, ....i take the dog out, whether he wants to or not, go out smoke a cig and then go back to sleep.. what i find helps me is very fresh ironed sheets with lavendar scent.....that will give me 3 hours without waking up.. the blankets can't be too cold or too hot,..which is almost impossible to get perfect,....the pillows cant be too hard or too soft....i have at least 6 on the bed to choose from..... what the hell is wrong with me?

The Jubilee (Hebrew Yovel ????) year, is the year at the end of seven cycles of Sabbatical years (Hebrew Shmita), and according to Biblical regulations had a special impact on the ownership and management of land, in the territory of the kingdoms of Israel and of Judah; there is some debate whether it was the 49th year (the last year of seven sabbatical cycles, referred to as the Sabbath's Sabbath), or whether it was the following 50th year. The English term Jubileederives from the Hebrew term yobel (via Latin:Jubilaeus), which in turn derives from yobhel, meaning ram; [ 1 ] the Jubilee year was announced by a blast on an instrument made from a ram's horn, during that year's Yom Kippur. [ 2 ] The biblical rules concerning Sabbatical years (shmita) are still observed by many religious Jews in the State of Israel, but the regulations for the Jubilee year have not been observed for many centuries.

No, I don’t want to live forever.
My mind can't comprehend “forever”; it seems like a very long time.
I mean, do I want to be in this word (or any other word for that matter) 40, 50 years from now? Yes
Do I want to be in this word 400,000 years, 40,000,000 years from now? I don’t think so.
How long is forever?

Sorry that I have nothing to add to this post, but I love numbers.
I am not saying that there are not many intelligent, well balanced witnesses.
Let’s not take into account their isolation from society the unrealistic view of the world and total reliance on a group of leaders that claim angelic direction.
I have no idea how watchtower activities (10/12 hours a week?), failed prophecies, shunning (fear they may be wrong or they are wrong but I don’t want to lose my family) and doctrinal reversals are going to impact those numbers.
I read somewhere that mental illness rate of witnesses is approximately 10 to 16 times higher than the rate for the general, non-witness population. Is this true?
Using the facts and figures about depression provided earlier;
“Nearly 5-10% of persons in a community at a given time are in need of help for depression.”
8% median, 6,500,000 witnesses = 520,000 witnesses are in need of help for depression
If that old study is correct. Do you know what happens if you take 520,000 and increase it 10 times?
“As much as 8-20% of persons carry the risk of developing depression during their lifetime”
15% median, 6,500,000 witnesses = 975,000 carry the risk of developing depression during their lifetime
If this old study is correct. Do you know what happens if you take 975,000 and increase it 10 times?

by scrapmama777 in"inciting hatred on the basis of race, religion, gender, nationality or sexuality or other personal characteristic.".

You say that Jehovah’s Witness are close minded, but I have never met any Witness’s that are as hateful and nasty and judgemental as you all
My mom is a very critical and judgemental woman.
I personally never judge a person just because they are NOT a witness. Yes, I am aware that is NOT what we are taught,
One thing I have learned over the years is that no matter what faith you are, there are always going to be those who are judgmental over some in the faith who are not as strong as they are in their love for God.
I have not always been strong in my faith. I do NOT go to ALL of the meetings ALL of the time. I struggle to go out in service, but will defend my faith when challenged.
I am not as strong in my faith as some in the congregation.
Yes, the Watchtower does give us advice to follow, but I am fully aware that they are imperfect men. I answer only to the 1 who matters and that is my Heavenly Father Jehovah.
Welcome:
Would you make up your mind already?

Teaching lies.
by Anti-Christ inwhen a person no longer cares about the past, they will accept the present without question.
the witnesses we talked with are always interchanging the gb/faithful and discreet slave for example, even if you point out the origins of each.
doesn't matter.

Anti-Christ:
Hope all is well. I like your post; I think that they can’t tell a lot of things from the start because they won’t get a lot of converts if they do.
People would think that it’s a cult.
I found a few more, not really sure.
Please if someone likes to refute or dispute any of them, please read this page first. Propaganda techniques and try to respond without the use of poor reasoning in support of its conclusion.
In other words don’t use fallacious argument to provide good reasons to believe its conclusion. An argument can be fallacious whether or not its conclusion is true:
- If you become a JW and then leave them you will be literally shunned. You family that remain in the organization will not be permitted to even talk to you!
- The Watchtower Society is the only source of truth on earth today and you will be destroyed if you refuse their organization.
- The Watchtower Society and its followers are all prophets of God today and the Governing Body is directed by angels from God.
- The Watchtower and Awake magazines originate with and are treated as equal to the Bible.
- Jesus is a created being also called Michael the archangel, and was the first and only direct creation of God.
- Jesus was not the Christ (Messiah) until age 30, even though their own bible says in Luke 2:11, "because there was born to you today a savior, who is Christ the Lord."
- (Christ's "return" was only His "turning his attention" invisibly toward earth in 1914, and there was an invisible "rapture" of the dead members of the 144,000 in 1918.)
- No one goes to heaven but 144,000 Jehovah's Witnesses.
- They teach Christ is the mediator for only the 144,000, not the average Jw.
- Teach only the 144,000 must be "born again", not the average Jw.
- Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob etc. were to be back on earth as perfect humans in 1925. The Society built a palatial home called "Beth Sarim" for them BUT when the patriarchs failed to show up, the President of the Society moved in.
- Their light gets "brighter and brighter", allowing for many changes and "about faces" on their doctrines. Yesterday's error is today's "truth". Often the "light" bounces back and forth from old to new views and back again!
- To salute the flag is an act of idolatry.
- Only persons who use the true name of God, Jehovah, will have their prayers heard by God.
Take care,
Ismael
