another shooting, this time 14 kids dead more wounded and a teacher dead.
i am all for the second amendment and this does not change my mind.
but i do hate this kind of thing, makes my stomach turn.
MmM Let's wait and see how crazy this one turns out to be. The focus won't be on mental health.
They rarely even mention it.
I can guarantee he was schizophrenic or developing schizophrenia. For boys it's around 18/19 for girls a bit younger (think Joan of Arc).

Emily Nobody who's actually contemplating suicide says that other people have made them suicidal, or that if other people don't change their behaviour and do what they want then they'll kill themselves. They don't threaten it or use it to shame other people. He's harming genuine sufferers by doing that, because now people will associate a suicidal person seeking treatment with this narcissistic abuse tactic, and depressed people who already second-guess ourselves will think "am I being like that if I ask for help?
I'll second that. People who feel suicidal will usually keep it really close to their chest. So much so that it can be a real shock when it happens. Some people go to extraordinary lengths to mask how they're feeling so as not to worry anyone. I lost a friend in 2016 and it shook me to my core I didn't see it coming. I should have.... divorce, Job losses😔. Even when you can clearly see they are depressed what will often prevent them from voicing it will be the effect it will have on others. (In fact the only people I've seen regularly voice it were people with certain serious mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia).I briefly worked in an emergency in-patient psych unit and I never heard anyone suicidal blame another. If anything they are usually horribly hard on themselves.
The problem is that people don't voice it. We should always encourage people to talk about it.
Emily I'm so sorry to hear how you've suffered. Thank you for your insight.

Another one of his many "teams". Rescue "teams" "PR teams", "legal teams". What a blagger.
Perhaps if he hadn't taken a bunch of camera equipment and film team crew, he might have fitted in more people. Why doesn't he go back for more, or was it a one off to make you tube content on the back of the crises?
Guarantee it was all Dijana's idea.
God he's a pompous, insufferable hypocrite.
sometime within the last 2 weeks, someone took a sledgehammer to the pyramid monument in allegheny.
they stole the topstone, smashed the cross and crown emblem and removed the seal.. personally i'm surprised it lasted this long untouched.
although through the years russell's grave has been vandalized, it was always repaired by the bible students..
Well there'll have had to replace it with something because I believe there were memorials to 9 people inscribed on the pyramid?
I think Russell has a tombstone elsewhere in the cemetery, but I'm not sure the others do.
I doubt they'll replace it with another pyramid, though. Probably a simple headstone of some kind?

photos are being circulated that Dijana disclosed privately to someone she assumed to be a trusted friend. I want to make it clear that the woman in the photos is in her 20s and not a sex worker.
Why would Dijana share a random photo of Lloyd and just another tourist/tour guide/scuba diver/friend, with someone privately? What is she upset about? In fact why would she be so upset about a random photo of Lloyd with a random person he knows, to the extent she actually shares it with someone?? Why would Dijana need to "trust" someone so much if it was just a photo of a tour guide or scuba instructor, say?🤔
Lloyd's conceit at the level of his intelligence and the level of our stupidity, knows no bounds!!! 🙄😂

In the video section NCC just posted, Lloyd makes out he's just an honest dude coming clean. He inmates he could have denied it but no, not "Saintly Lloyd" - instead he's being 'totally honest'.
When actually he had no choice in the matter - since Kim S. and producer Bob had all the evidence on tape or what's App!!
i want to create a new site to help people leaving the wts.. the idea is that it will be curated content of articles and videos on specific subjects such as how to fade, how to handle family, personal experiences of leaving, mistakes to avoid, plus practical life matters impacted by the wts such as how to create or rebuild a career, planning for retirement, getting counselling, making friends etc.... the idea is that it should be lots of voices to share the love and promote lots of people's channels so it becomes a more effective resource (hopefully there will always be something informative and appealing to the people visiting).. if you have a youtube channel that you would like featured, or maybe have some specific video or series that would suit, i'd be happy to include them.. likewise, if you have a subject you'd like to write about and can share some practical knowledge and guidance on, or have a life-story you'd like to share because your experience could benefit others, please let me know.. i bought a domain and setup some placeholder content:.

Carla Just to clarify, my anti jw literature was aimed at unsuspecting householders not jw's. It was quite a long time ago now. My jw was one of the rare ones that was caught up by someone knocking on the door
This is where targeted and even general information is definitely useful. It's why everything everyone posts on line is positive because it raises the profile of those who have left and just why we view Watchtower as harmful.
Prophylactic medicine always works the best!! If the public have truthful information before the JWs call, they will be far less vulnerable to their tactics.

Simon in response to a posters request for a non religious therapist, Scully and I both posted a page called "Find a Secular therapist" which covers all the English speaking countries and maybe could be posted under a "Help" section? The "Recovering from religion" organization is another good resource.

Another suggestion that came to mind....how about a book review/recommendation section (books related to watchtower or leaving watchtower/cults?) I noticed Slim has very the pretty pricey 'Rutherfords Coup' book and wrote a small piece on it, plus Jeff has a new book that was reviewed?
a new book on the events of the 1917 schism titled rutherford's coup is officially out on amazon.. authored by rud persson.
description.
raised a baptist, in 1906, joseph franklin rutherford, a provincial missouri attorney with a shrewd and scheming legal mind, became a baptized “bible student.” in 1907, rutherford became the legal counselor for the group's legally chartered corporation, the watch tower bible and tract society of pennsylvania.
I'm wondering if it means ght be possible to order it through your local library? Sometimes if they don't have it you can put in a request.
Maybe we should have a book review section here. I'm guessing you've read it SBF???
