  Do Jehovah’s Witnesses shoot their own wounded?

  by paul from cleveland in

  i 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.

  this is just an obsevation from me...ok i dont mean to annoy anyone but is it true or just me?.

  i feel that ones raised in the truth are so much better of than us who came in from the world.

  i say that because they have family who are witnesses too.

  i am in the process of leaving, and those of you who have followed me will know i spoke to my family briefly the other day about my doubts, but not since.

  my dad has offered the occasional prayer for various things in the past week, as well as say he wants to study with my preschoolers.

  he has also added in the extra tidbits to do with jehovah being the only true god etc.

  MY FIRST DOUBT

  by goldensky in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  dear all,.

  i posted my first thread a few days ago and some of you asked me questions i'm more than willing to answer.

  but there is so much i want to say to you there's no way i can convey all the information at one sitting, so i've decided to tackle one subject at a time, both for the sake of not boring you and because i'd love to know how you feel about each individual topic.

  Newly fading and having morbid thoughts about dying....is that normal?!

  by 2pink in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been having doubts for years about the org, but it's mostly been just the past couple of months that it's really all unravelled for me.

  i'm at that stage now where i don't know what i believe about anything...esp about what happens when you die.. and maybe it's just cause i never had to think about death before (was always countin' on that resurrection in paradise earth!

  ), but lately i can't stop thinking about it!

  Does anyone think that maybe we're just wrong?

  by paul from cleveland in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was disfellowshipped in 1995. even though i lost my friends and family, i felt like i had been finally set free and was happy for many years.

  while i was a jehovah's witness, i always felt so miserable.

  i never felt like i was doing enough to please jehovah.

  Good News to Make You Happified

  by Farkel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  happified is a real watchtower word(tm), by the way!.

  if you want to give the wts credit for anything, then at least give them credit for their remarkably simple solution to every ill suffered by mankind.. it is a "one size fits all" solution and might be part of the appeal the wts has attracting people who have a hard time with reason and common sense.. they won't specifically tell you what that solution is, though.

  if they did, they would even get less converts than they get now, and currently they ain't gettin' many.
