My trouble
by bushido8000 ini have been facing a small dilemma for some years now.
i have been in the truth since i was 5 years old.
after experiencing some troubles with man-made rules (non-scriptural, told me that i absolutely could not join my small school's football team) in the kingdom hall when i was about 16, i stopped going to take a step back and look at what was going on.

Why do Jehovahs Witnesses send their mentally ill door to door?
by life is to short inthis has been a question i have asked over and over even when i was a very devout jw.
please do not get me wrong in thinking that i am trying to be mean or cruel or unkind to those who have mental illness, that is not in the least where i am going with this.
what i mean is i think it is cruel to send them door to door, it puts way to much stress on them and it looks bad for the name jehovah.. it seemed that in every hall i have ever been in there were some people who were extremely mentally ill. there have always been some in every hall who were schizophrenics or suffered major depression, or other forms of mental illness.

On A Scale Of 1 to 10 How Much Knowledge Does A Jehovah's Witness Have About Their Religion?
by minimus inyears (many decades) ago, most jws knew what their religion taught.
they could go toe to toe with a minister or priest and make some good points.. i believe today's witness knows little about most of the convoluted teachings and revisions of the "truth".
yesteryear's witnesses got a 9/10.

Religion/Mental Illness/Schizoprenia
by ranmac ini have a very close friend whos history of traumatic experiences and drug use has culminated into very severe mental and physical detioratation.
i dont want to get into personal information but one major symptom is that he has become religiously deluded about himself.
to be blunt, he believes he is a special prophet chosen by jehovah.

Being A Jehovah's Witness is Simply A Waste Of Time!!!
by minimus ini hope that if any witness sees this thread, they understand that being a witness = being a time waster.. please understand this.
if you don't believe me, i'm sure others here will agree.. if you can salvage any of your time that is left, do it!
get out of this false religion.

The imperfections of the elder
by outsmartthesystem inoutsmart - you keep mentioning the imperfections of the elders....and how people need to overlook them because we are all imperfect and we need to learn what true humility is.....etc etc.
dj - if this is what you believe to be true, then you are mistaken, because even though jehovah's witnesses are directed by holy spirit, we have at times 'gotten it wrong.
dj - i can agree that jehovah's witnesses are god's mouthpiece today, that we do speak for god.

DJEggnogg:Because the doctrines and conceptions of the Jehovah's witnesses are extreme and, it clearly violates the principle of balance.Hence they are prone to mental depression.As long as you are able to discharged your so-called Christian responsibilities,you are not in trouble.
That is where the problem starts:1Kings18:-19: After the contest with the Baal Prophets,Elijah ran and hid himself in the cave.Why because he was exhausted and depressed.See how Jehovah God handles the matter.He told Elijah to anoint Elisha to replace him.However the WT would deem anyone as spiritually weak if they fail to put in the hours Problably not listening what the brother in question was going through.

Nebeska, if you are feeling despair and helpless, although you may not experience the full bloom symptoms of depression, you could still be in Depression. The attachment we have/had with the organisation is gone. It can feel like losing our parent because we turn to Jehovah for unconditional acceptance and love. So, we see through the human organisation that claims to rep Jehovah, the dis-illusion can be too much. Sugg you read Raymond Franz's In Search of Christian Freedom, so you can be freed from this codependency. Also, go to YouTube and watch "This is Mind Blowing". You will realize we are just so small and so is our problem. Just live in the moment and enjoy this beautiful life that Jehovah gives. Jehovah is independent of men, religions and organisations. Our problem is we have been conditioned to look at the past, projecting our reasoning to the future. So, we are not living, living is being about to enjoy the moment. That's why we will have more and more of JWs getting depression.
Do seek professional help.
