I agree with Joelbear that the problem is mostly inherited. My family has a history with this kind of stuff and I have suffered for 35 years. What a DRAG! My attacks were so severe I was afraid to eat in a restaurant or go to a show. Medicine has helped a great deal and relaxation techniques are showing promise for me. One thing you must understand, is to not let the attacks scare you anymore. I especially want the attacks to come when I'm at home. Then I can practice deep breathing techniques to get over them. The more you see the attacks will pass, with no harm, the easier it will be for you. Good Luck. Jackson.

Problems after JWism
by chrisauld inhi everyone, i'd just lke to see if anyone has experienced any of the problems i have as a result of leaving j-dubs.. i know that it is quite common for people to have anxiety or 'panic' attacks.
these are when a person feels uncomfortable in a certain situation that can result in them feeling as if they are about to die.. i have noticed that since leaving, i have had quite a few of these attacks.
i don't know if it is coinsidence or attributed to.... i tend to get them in social situations, whether it be on a bus, just generally talking to people, walking down the street, eating at tables with people.. i have had to go to the doctor because i have had heart palpitations(fast heart beating).

Abstain from blood, means no blood in all cases. Products made from red blood cells of cows would be prohibited if the Brooklyn Borg actually followed the scriptures. I'm sure they will tap dance and say Hemopure isn't blood in the sence of the Bible and allow it. That way they can say, "See here, we are are allowing our followers real choices in this kind of therapy." Not allowing for the many who have died because of their mindless, petty, and un-scripural practices that have condemned so many to surfer so needlessly.

Jesus has no special role at all in the JW version of religion. So it is not really a Christian religion as such. It would be more of combining new testament thought with old testament laws to form something completely different. More so, I would say it's real thrust or perference, is Mosiac in actual practice because of the strict law requirements that the religion forces on it's members.

memorial: how do you feel?
by unanswered inthis question is mostly for those of you who still believe in the bible to some extent.
my mother-in-law called the other day to see if rileygurl and i were going to the memorial this year.
we told her that we wouldn't be attending.

The memorial, as the WTS practices, was another way for the current crop of boneheads, starting with Rutherford, to show they were different from Christian religions. And, by the fact of being different, they could claim to be "special" or practicing the true religion because they didn't do what other religions (see Catholic) did. But, the problem is, is that the Bible is really straight forward and simple about the body and blood of Christ. The Bible doesn't single out anyone to partake of the emblems. The WTS practice is a lie.

The wonderful future Christian America.
by Norm inthose of us who have frequented h2o and have otherwise encountered our fundie friends from the usa have many times been reminded of their strange arguments and ideas.
all of them seem to long back to biblical times and particularly the times of the old testament.
they have got the idea that those days were so wonderful when everybody was adhering to biblical morals, values and such.

I am not surprised that wimpy English don't travel through states in the U.S. that have the death penalty. It must really trouble them that U.S. folk don't give a crap what they think.

one of the watchtower society favorite themes is how incredibly late it is.
it is in fact always later than you think.

Soon has no real meaning for anyone in the WTS. Otherwise it would die a quick death.

plants) on the web.

ยท "this dwindling anointed class"...

the reports for some years show that the number partaking of the memorial emblems increased slightly.

Are we getting the "stealth" anointed now? Here's the deal. If the old boys keep finding ways to slide in a few young anointed, then the faithful and discreet ruling club, keeps on-a-ticking, and the second class citizens keep getting a lickin'. Seems like a good scam to me.
Action - of the scamless class.
