  WT Society wants Elders to Conceal Information to Psychiatrists- Elders Bk.

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my wife and i have read carefully through chapter 5 of the new elders manual when we do our " personal study " in bed on saturday mornings !

  so without further delay , notice this quote from the new elders manual, " there are times when an emotionally distressed christian may seek professional help.

  whether a christian or his family pursues treatment from psychiatrists , psychologists, or therapists is a personal decision.

  thats the question i keep asking myself once i began learning the truth about the truth.

  The Greatest Lesson the Watchtower Ever Taught Me

  by jamiebowers in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the greatest lesson that the watchtower has taught me is to give the love that has been taken from me.

  our mother shuns my brother and me to the extreme.

  just this morning she told me on the phone from her hospital bed that we will have to learn her diagnosis through the grapevine.. she wasn't always like this.

  Info For Newbies and Current Jehovah's Witnesses! Please Read!

  example: gravity is real.

  because if 607 bce is wrong, then so is 1914 and 1918 and 1919. very simple.

  so if we cannot trust secular research, then we can definitely discard the date of 607 bce.

  in another thread, there is a discussion about young people leaving the jws at a rate of something like 88%.

  we see the rules given to the sheep for raising their children and we shake our heads saying, dont they get it?

  what is wrong with the org that it cant see how they are treating the youth?
