watchtower saying that apostates are mentally ill?

by worried in

hi.

i remember reading posts about a newer watchtower study edition, telling that apostates (or people plainly leaving the truth) were mentally ill. can anyone tell me what edition that was?

i have searched through the forums for the last half hour, and either am i terrible at searching, or they have all vanished..

Utimately you cannot accept responsebility for other peoples lives and choices. You can be decent, fair and straightforward with others but no matter what your say or do I believe each person does what they want irregardless of any advice that's given them. Advice is everywhere people do what they want and being unnecessarily mean or unkind isn't worth it but being honest is.

just thought i'd introduce myself.

i've been lurking for a few months and want to get in on some of the conversation.. also here's a song that's taken on a new personal meaning for me.

(i was born in to a witness family and have recently woke up to the fact that it is just a group of people following just men.

what I don't like about the relationships we have here is how limited they are we talk to each other daily and share so much and yet we could pass on the street and never realize we knew each other. We could suddenly disappear from the site w/o warning and the relationship ends abruptly no explanation. It's a strange thing sort of empty. I've enjoyed Sylvia and her input and now quiet.

Life is a series of good and bad experiences for everyone and we all feel alright and than at other times not so alright sometimes for no apparent reason the difference can just be our genetic make-up. There are people who are naturally cheery, others big highs and lows me always slightly below neutral. recognizing that dramatic feelings are temporary and will pass is useful and yes I believe were expected to enjoy our ice cream cone while our heads are under the guillotine. i don't like it and it makes me angry. i wish I knew the anwers I always thought if I pursued it relentlessly I would find it and maybe it would be good I don't know anymore but I will just go on till its over and whatever happens will happen . So just hang in there try to find whatever distraction you can and we'll all just wait and see what the deal is.

Snakes = Married

by SnakesInTheTower in

it has been over a month and a half since i have even been on the board, and that really only to ask about gps units (got a tom-tom) and mention the new job.

way too busy with life - post jw now 4 years.. of course, the new job has benefits, health insurance, etc.

(including unlimited use of the company car for personal use and the company pays for the unlimited gas for about a $25/week out of my check -- huge benefit) and this has enabled toni and i to finally after a two year engagement, to get married.
