  Where’s the 2023 Service Report?

  what’s keeping them?

  this has got to be the latest it’s ever been.

  maybe it’s the last one they’ll ever publish too, after dropping reporting hours for publishers ….

  I think has got more to do with possible anti western laws at some point in the future in Hong Kong - an American cult will not be popular - so they've moved to South Korea, which is a US ally.

  "And that was a very grueling experience, certainly the first week when I stopped taking it, there were huge and withdrawal symptoms that were very difficult to cope with."

  I can absolutely gua.ran. freeking tee you that you don't get withdrawal symptoms from coming off SSRi's. Let alone "huge" ones. It may not be easy for absolutely everyone, but you don't "withdraw" from them. That's why I'm still not convinced he was taking them*.

  *That's just my "opinion" by the way, Lloyd. Don't sue me.

  .......oh....and of course the voice of God was his voice🙄

  Ok, I'll fess up. As you may or may not know I was a lost kid. I was indoctrinated as a child by someone who cared for me when my mother left. I didn't become a JW until my 20s. By 17 I had taken acid and magic mushrooms (they give you a stomach ache. Acid is better). Whatever you see/hear/think you know that it's not real, even as you experience it.

  As to it being spiritual....well if you consider licking the dew off a VW. van in a forest for 2 hours whilst listening to Gong as spiritual, well ok🙄😂

  As an aside and warning, we have a good friend who took Datura and walked into a lake in ANNECY, France. He never came out😥

  Well for someone that supposedly was taking an antidepressant he has no idea how it works ...which makes me somewhat doubt he's taking them. It's quite common for people to be prescribed antidepressants and not take them because they have ulterior motives in having a medical record for depression ...(such as claiming a group of 7 individuals have destroyed their mental health & business).

  Far from preventing serotonin uptake in your brain; as Lloyd said, SSRis work by making serotonin more available for sending messages between nerve cells. I also know from my own experience stopping them is no easy task if you genuinely need them. To casually do so in order to take a hallucinogenic - which are definitely associated with serious mental health issues like psychosis/schizophrenia - would be quite a scary prospect if you've experienced serious depression.

  I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong but it all seems a bit off. You don't play with your mental health if you've ever experienced problems, or witnessed people you care for, do so, too.

  the wt teaches that the memorial ( communion) should only be celebrated yearly and only the anointed can partake of the bread and wine .

  Wing Commander Q.What exactly does Lloyd do.....ya know.....for a REAL job? I'm not talking about "activism." No, I mean what did did this fat lump of cookie dough do before he even went online?

  He had a translation business. Er....a bit peculiar considering he only speaks one language. I think it was Dijana who did the translating....and Lloyd raked in the cash. Funny, he's done the same thing with his you tube business. Got others to do most of the work while he pocketed the proceeds. Anything he did write was creamed from JWfacts.com or this website. He's too lazy to research anything himself.
