spotted this picture on a friend's page, he was highlighting the mental health issue.
however,we thought the magazine on stress was deliberately placed in the summer months because for any jw going to a convention, paying high season hotel rates for themselves or their whole family to stay near the convention centre, fighting coworkers and managers to get the time off work, travelling expenses, buying their own meals for the family, buying new shiny suits and dresses to impress (particularly if you have teenage girls who are looking for their prince), and more.... by the time they come home again and straight away back to work, their nerves will be so frazzled that their stress levels will have sky rocketed!.
as brother elder says to them, "don't worry.
Not Jacob;
"I remember expressing concerns over incomplete directions provided at meetings leading up. When I would ask, "What should we do if X happens?" The response from the Elders was invariably "Trust that Jeh will take care of us."
& there it is,,,the great and grand fix-all, the old end all that Jah will fix everything.

"The dating pool is shallow in the jws. There is not very much selection so they don’t have a lot of choice. "
Yes. The Borg can create alot of eunichs. Sounds like paradise to me.
breaking news!
every jehovah’s witness elder in the 67 counties of pennsylvania are being given notice by state attorney's office to turn over any & all documents relating to child sex abuse cases!
watch attached video beginning at time-stamp 101:00...pay particular attention to what is said after 103:00.this is wild!.
""THE WTBTS PAYS OUT NEARLY $500/HOUR TO CATHOLIC CHURCH ATTORNEY FIRM TO DEFEND THOUSANDS OF ITS ELDERS IN PENNSYLVANIA STATEWIDE CSA INVESTIGATION """
If this is the case,,,this is good, I mean this is good. Just off the top.
i've been absent for a while, because i've been focusing more in helping portuguese readers know the truth about jw.
we're trying to form an association in portugal to help people abused by religious and non-religious organisations.
i've also been trying to get a little away of these issues because my life has been really complicated since i slammed the door on jw's face!.
If elders are in fact shitting their pants right now,,,it is time to somehow step down.
Just become either unreliable, useless, or just quit going to meetings and/or FS. Outright.
the jws i know (which admittedly are more liberal than most) are suddenly into prepping to one degree or another.
some have simply assembled "go bags" with basic common sense supplies in case they need to bug out in the event of a natural disaster and others seem to be seriously into it, almost to the degree to which mormons are.
backup generators and a year's supply of food and water).
Yes. It"s a isolation technique. This 'persecution complex', 'uncertainty', to keep the rank and file in doubt to 2nd guess themselves.
But, sometimes it is good advice to keep oneself prepared with supplies in case infrastructure does go down.
But this constant rhetoric of it,,very tiring indeed.
have the rank and file been told not to "gossip", or "question" about mr morris yet?
i am mindful of how questioning decisions was discouraged and being told to keep things confidential.
( maybe too soon, but do share if a special needs part comes up) you would think that common sense would tell them they cause the questions when they don't share reasons.
Just like when so and so is read-off from the platform as no longer being a JW.
Pure speculation abounds, nobody really knows. Likely to avoid legal ramifications as always. It"s always about,,,,you guessed it!! Protecting the organization first. First things foremost above anything else. The Borg's image.
study article 22 is headed.
"keep traveling on the "way of holiness".
this article states that since 1919, having left babylon the great in that year, jws today are traveling on 'the way of holiness" (a figurative highway) as it takes them through the spiritual paradise and leads them through to future kingdom blessings.. they say that 'preparatory work' of that highway began centuries earlier.
''Isn`t the very name JEHOVAH in error ? Isn`t it more correct to say that the pronunciation of God`s name is more likely YAHWEH or even YEHOWAH or some such thing ?
Certainly not JEHOVAH. ''
It speaks volumes when a borganization who claims to speak for God,,,gets the Divine name wrong.
If they get the name of their 'God' wrong,,,,,then you wake up and realize if that is wrong,,,,then how many other things they get wrong.
ie,,,,the cross, last days, generation what not, the list is endless.
which politician will offer a jehovah's witness shredding event?
jehovah's witnesses get honorable mention today by pa. rep. mark rozzi @ 1:12:34 .
pa. special house session -- february 24, 2023. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yc6btqtw4hk.
It's been suggested before, but wouldn't it be ironic if in the state of PA was where the start of the end of the Borg, where the Borg originated from.
Information is soon to come, Ray Frans II, you never know.
do they have any kind of mental health arrangements at bethel?
i mean to help jws with mental problems.
like a psychiatric.
But seriously, when it comes to mental health, when it comes to professional the Dublands will always warn of ''caveats''. Because doctors will question the Dubs about their daily routines(JWism) and really uncover the root of their depression.
