My ex is bipolar and had the courage to seek medical help despite the fact it was frowned upon by the Org and her peers. One time she was suicidal and took an overdose.. told me what she had done and finished up in hospital. I rang her psych for advice etc and knowing the possible consequences did not involve the Elders. Later after she tried again.... she did not tell me but instead she told an Elder. He kept it to himself and did tell me. I knew her history. I was her husband. Can you imagine the possible consequences of this ignorant bastard withholding this information.

Do Jehovahs Witnesses shoot their own wounded?
by paul from cleveland ini was disfellowshipped when i was going through my first bipolar episode.
several months before being disfellowshipped, i started to develop the symptoms of bipolar disorder: rapid thoughts, sleepless nights, etc., until i finally started having delusions.
i began to think i was jesus (literally) so i was disfellowshipped for apostasy.

The claws are out!
by wantstoleave ini just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone on the board.
i haven't been here that long but from the time i've spent here, i feel very comfortable.
i've been on boards before (witness ones) where everyone is so opinionated, heartless and holier than thou....but this one is so different.

They belittle and put down and justify themselves with going 'by the bible'.
Comes I believe from having no sense of personal worth so they try to gain it at the expense of others.......... Anyway that's another topic......... Welcome girl and if anyone belittles you here I, and I'm sure many others, will stick up for you.

provided the practice of that belief doesn't harm other people
This board would not exist if the Jw cult was not harmful. And what can we do about it legally...nothing ...because the courts refuse to get involved ...thanks to the sacred cow "freedom of religion" Any secular organization would be held accountable. The Russian Gov seem to understand the threat of unbridled WT propaganda and want to protect their citizens... I say good on them

Don't feel bad Greenie thats the whole idea..... Make your head spin trying to understand what the fuck their talking about..... Give up ....Tell youself this is really deep spiritual food.. and accept their conclusions. Used to happen in my day with Fredies rantings

A Message Re A Very Interesting Scripture...
by AGuest into the household of god, israel, and all those who go with... may you have peace!.
i was flipping through channels sunday morning and came across a show entitled "jewish jewels.
" now, ordinarily, i don't even give such shows any time, regardless of the religion - i would rather be "fed" directly by our faithful and discreet slave, christ.

The Watchtower hates Scotsmen
by kurtbethel inbecause i have carefully looked over every picture and representation i can find of the so called paradise earth published in the last 30 years.
there are people in all sorts of clothing from many cultures, american casual, african, asian, hispanic, and others.. but i have not seen a single image that shows you kilt wearers will make it into the new systemtm!.
does that make you so angry that your sporran stands on edge?.

Wish to debunk Witness God's Org Concept
by Luo bou to ini wish to reach my ex who is heavily entrenched in the org.
i intend to argue along these lines using the parable of the wheat and the weeds.

Tirebiter said My opinion, for what it's worth: The last three sentences are the heart of the letter. She's more likely to read them if she isn't on the defensive from a religious debate. Please discuss this with your son, listen to his advice, and work together. Then when she wonders "Where else can I go?", she can remember that her family is there and has always been there for her.
Well said Tirebiter I know I don't have to justify my position as if I am speaking to a mind open to reason but it is hard not to. If only she would listen .... I need to bite my tongue and remind myself I am dealing with the emotional side fear etc and think back to how I felt when I investigated this religion I was raised in...... I expected to find support for my faith instead I was confronted challenged and felt very uncomfortable the more I found out. I was a true believer I thought I could support my faith against anyone. I was wrong.... I could not deny the facts I was learning and realized the implications....... if the WT was wrong then I had wasted so many opportunities in life and now risked losing my marriage my witness family everything...... But I had to know the truth I could not live believing a lie. ....So I began deprogramming myself and the kids. My wife fiercely resisted wouldn't even look at WT material IE bestiality is not grounds for divorce later reversed with no attempt by the Org to undo the damage .... Answers to questions she asked me that made sense were repudiated by the simple injunction from the Elders Be carefully your husband is very clever.
You've affirmed what I thought ( without the ego) Thanks mate

Do you have positive proof.....checked his license? Still time? The 1914 generation has not passed away and will not pass away before the end comes. As the years rolled on I used to think that they would point to some small village in the Himalayans where there are many centenarians to support their claim. Instead they changed the definition of generation ....tricky bastards
