  Is Christianity a form of mental disorder?

  take the average born again.

  they begin their day imagining a powerful imaginary friend, and then go around mocking rational people and daring them to disprove the imaginary friend exists.

  some even hear voices from their imaginary friend and claim he exercises magic for their benefit.

  AK-Jeff:

  Thanks for hitting the nail on the head. A few years ago we bought a house that was NOT my first choice. WHY? Because it was "close to the HALL" !!!!

  Like you I diligently prayed, & really thought I was being heard. I worked for hours late into MANY MANY nights making almost 90 new territory cards. I worked late into MANY nights trying SO hard to do the "ACCOUNTS" just the right way..uugghh. And then getting yelled at during the accts audit because I used my computer instead of doing it by hand ! uugghhhh

  I once put a sticker of a radio station on my car's back window. One of the elders asked me why I didn't put Jehovah's name on my back window instead of a radio station. He insinuated I was ashamed to be a JW. Now I have 3 stickers on my back window & maybe he was right !

  hope some light can be shed for me here :).

  to cut a long story short, ex left me well over a year ago and filed divorce proceedings on me from another country.

  was thrown out of court as the jurisdiction wasn't correct.

  Dear WANTS TO LEAVE:

  Are your parents in "the truth"? Are you close with your parents? If so, you'll want to become inactive for 6 months, then slowly fade away. I don't think they can DF you for leading a "worldly life" after you've become inactive. Any former Elders want to comment on that? I'm curious.

  Dear Fence:

  I stopped believing a few yrs ago. But i have a fanatically convinced wife & a precious 5 yr old. I can't confide in my wife or she'd leave me & then i'd lose my chance to be involved in my child's life on a daily basis. So my point is stand tall, fake it, be tough & stick with the program for now. If you leave the org your kids will lose the chance to be around your sis & folks. So keep going thru the motions just don't force your kids, be a "weak" witness & you'll have the best of both worlds. 1) You'll still be approved by the org so that your fam can still talk to you & your kids & 2) you won't have totally brainwashed your kids, you will have exposed them to the "truth" and when they are old enough they can make their own choices!

  I know what you are going thru (kind of), Chuck
