a little while back my siblings and i (one jw two exjw's) had and intervention for my mother (jw) because she nearly killed herself by abusing her perscription medicine.

like most addicts she denied that she had a problem and refused to get help, so my sister, brother, and i all restricited our contact with her as agreed until she would get help.

my mother turned to her local elders (she is inactive, only because she doesn't like to leave her house, she still believes) and sent them after my sister and i. i haven't been to a meeting since 2006, i am married to a non jw (oh the shame) and celebrate holidays, the elders show up at my house unannounced and start brow beating me in the most christian way about respecting my parents and (this is hiliarious) tell me that just because i don't agree with everything she does (they also tell me that she needs all her pills because of her pain) doesn't mean i can cut off association with her because it isn't scriptual... i couldn't help myself i laughed outloud.

MS the situation involved my mom overdosing while watching my two year old daughter, and this is not the first time. I still talk to my mom and she is allowed to see her grandchildren with suprivised visits. i was just trying to point out the hypocrisy of the elders who encourage shunning but have the minerals to say you can't do it unless they say, ummm i mean jehovah says its ok.

What a nice thing to say (even though they didn't know it) imagine friends that are your friends because they like you not because the borg tells them too

Jehovah's Witnesses are depressing

by wannabefree in

learning the truth about my faith as a jw (that it is wrong) actually has resulted in me having a more positive outlook on life, postive about today even though it has its problems.. but today, speaking with close jw friends (strong witnesses at that), i find myself hearing nothing but depressed thoughts.

when everything you talk about as a witness is how terrible the world is but soon (for over 100 years) the "new system" will be here ... just hang on ... is it any wonder so many jw's are on anti-depressants?.

it is depressing being surrounded by depressed people.. .

cantleave - i love the expression 'happiest people'. most dubs are maladjusted, social misfits, whom suffer from some form of depression
