i've been in lurkmode lately, but with the news that i heard about don cornelius dying, it had me thinking...as this world goes on, and people are coping with this world...i think a lot jw's are going to realize that the end of the world isnt coming...there gonna become more despert, the realities of having to work, pay off debts, etc.

a lot of jw's are going to realize that no magical sky daddy is come and 'take away there problems' and i think the more that they start to realize this, they get older, and there gonna start hating the reality that they have to face.

i had a good friend who's father-in- law (who was a ministrial servant) who had bipolar disorder, killed himself in his car back in 2007. it was sad.

@ Steve2: Rumor has it that he killed himself because he had a lot of health issues and fananicial problems. For some reason it made me think about Jehovah's Witnesses, especially the elderly witnesses. How the majority of them have been in this organization for over twenty plus years and the end hasnt come yet. For freakin sakes were in 2012? Doesnt that wake a lot of people up? Yeah I know he was never a j-dub but it just made me think.

Truthseeker, so right...I dont even want to think of the fact that someone close to me might kill themseleves but I think sadly that its going to start happening more often. Trust me, I dont want to think of it, but I got a little surprise when I turned on my computer and found out that Don Cornelius killed himself. You would have thought someone his age would have died of a heart attack, or cancer. Not suicide.

I dont know. Theres this hopelessness in people that I am seeing that I've never seen before. EVER!! I dont want to think about it but I think its gonna start happening more often now that time is going by so fast. But I do think that younger ones are going to leave, and this is gonna cause the older ones to feel more depressed, hopeless, etc.

Oh and for the record I dont think life is hopeless if people would let there guards down and just love one another. But since people are people I dont believe thats ever gonna happen. (At least on a large scale) especially the division within current Jw's and Ex Jw's.

Child preachers - I find this very disturbing

i believe young children are often capable of much more then we imagine.

these preacher children are surly very talented.

as much as i find them ever so cute, i find it disturbing how their parents use them to further their own religious ambitions.. .

Terrible...mind control and child abuse.

I had a good friend who's father-in- law (who was a ministrial servant) who had bipolar disorder, killed himself in his car back in 2007. It was sad. What was even more sadder was the fact that the elders didnt want to direct the funeral because the sister of the deceased was going to have a pastor giving the eulogy at the funeral. It was sicken, and it caused her (my friend) exit from the religion. I also found out recently that I had a friend who was repeatedly molested growing up, attempted suicide. Didnt find this out until recently.

What do you guys think? This is something that I dont like to think about, but I think its gonna happen more often, especially with the elderly witnesses. I mean, who would have thought we would have made it to to 2012?
