  metal health problems in the organisation

  by looloo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  for "the happiest people on earth" i found so many folk in the cong had depression or suffered with "nerves and axiety" there was one lad who was due to go and "work" in bethel and changed his mind at the last minute and spent nearly all his time on his computer in his bedroom from then on (he must of been on this site !he apparently "went schitsophrenic(dont know how to spell it sorry ) as did his sister and his poor mum was probably the most dedicated dub in the cong but was considered as a bit "bonkers" by all in the cong .

  there were 3 elders i know of who had depression and many rank and file , i must admit it did make me question how "happy "being a dub would make me when i was a study and voiced my concerns i was told satan was trying to get them out the truth so they were depressesed or some rubbish like that , but i was also told that people who leave the truth are depressed because they dont have the truth !

  you cant have it both ways !

  A disfellowshipped person shunned me!

  just curious of anyone else's experience with this watchtower behavoir.. i ran into a df person 2 weeks ago and she tried hiding from me, my guess she was embarrassed and knew i shouldn't talk to her, but i approached her anyway.

  we hugged and talked briefly.

  she told me she was disfellowshipped, she knew i wasn't attending meetings.

  Disfellowshipping Doesn't Sever Family Ties?

  by tergiversator in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  "disfellowshipping does not sever family ties.".

  or so claims the watchtower's official faq.

  so, i would like to take an informal poll: how has being disfellowshippid/ disassociated/ inactive/ just having doubts affected relations with your family?

  Common Psychological Problems of Mind Manipulatio

  common psychological problems of mind manipulation:.

  the following problems and emotions are common with survivors.

  these are all normal emotions and will pass as you recover.. keeping a journal and sorting one's overwhelming feelings is most healing and helps work through feelings of betrayal and abuse.

  from what i gather at the service dept., there is no such thing as.

  an invalid baptism.

  they defined it out of existence.

  i am new to this site.

  i just want to say that its great, always nice to know that you're not alone in the fight.

  i wish all current jws could be forced to sit and read through all these posts just once.....but thats dreaming, i guess.. it seems that from the psychological aspect the experience can be horrible.

  My Sister

  by Esmeralda in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after being so close to getting a clue about the "truth",my oldest sister is way back in it, deeper than ever.. i love claire dearly, and i know that in her way, she loves me too.. i believe the problem in our relationship lies in that when it all comes down to it, at the end of the day, we don't really like each other very much anymore.

  this knowledge saddens me more than i can explain.. it wasn't always this way.. we did fight a lot as children.

  perhaps it's the eight year age difference.

  the greatest is love.this principle stands no matter what.the problem is :if you are using only the hammer you can't fix things.but even if one is unwise the principle will work eventually.in love there is no fear that's the universal truth.

  i was raised a jw left when i was 20 years old.

  i have been out for 20 years until i met a brother and started studying.

  after a year or so i met a sister who had been in the truth for all her life,46 years, she had been married 2 times.i fell in love with her.people had warned me that she was trouble,but i could not see it,i figured that she had to be better than the women that i knew in the world.i was in love,so we married 4 months later.thing were going good for a while i had been going to all the meetings and out to service,i noticed she was allways running down the elders, makeing fun of sisters,to and from the meetings.i started getting tired of it.so i told her i was not going to go to the meetings if she kept it up.we started arguing things got worse her mother and kids allways came 1st and for me last.the elders got involved, she left me went to her mothers.
