  What Percentage of active JW's are on Anti-Depressants?

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i came across an xjw post on redditt from a rn.

  she states that nearly every jw she ever treated was on anti-depressants or anti-psychotic drugs:.

  https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/f35vaa/just_about_every_jw_i_come_across_is_on/ i once read somewhere that 1 in 5 jw's were on anti-depressants, but i couldn't find any documentation.

  From what I hear, self-medicating goes all the way up the ladder.

  Simon - “…No believing JW is even looking at exJW or ‘apostate’ content, so anyone who does is already doubting and looking for answers…”

  This.

  Reading XJW material on the net doesn’t turn you into an apostate.

  It just helps you realize you already are one.

  UNDERSTANDING WHY THE ORGANIZATION is a false idol and a BLASPHEMY

  by Terry in

  do we understand these three words: worship, idolatry, and blasphemy?.

  most christians have a vague notion of worship, idolatry, and blasphemy already, but.

  a clear definition is necessary.. we must take care to differentiate, however.. how the words appear in original language and how they are defined today might be at odds.. ____________________.

  Most children of Jehovah's Witnesses followers in Japan have been whipped, survey shows

  2. child-abuse

  https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/03/15/national/jehovahs-witnesses-whipping/.

  the most cited reason was “napping or talking during congregations.” others included “answering back to parents” and “playing with a schoolmate.”.

  some respondents said they have been suffering depression as a result of whipping.. “i still cannot forget the sight of children screaming after they were taken into a large room at a congregation when i was a child,” a 44-year-old victim said, stressing that jehovah’s witnesses should reflect on what followers have done.. in february, a group of lawyers started supporting those second-generation followers.. in a statement issued on march 1, the japanese branch of jehovah’s witness said it does not accept child abuse.. https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20230315/p2a/00m/0na/006000c.

  “and in revelation chapter 6, the ride of the fourth horseman includes mention of deadly plague.

  so the events unfolding around us are making clearer than ever that we’re living in the final part of the last days.

  When I first heard Letto the Clown speak, I thought someone had digitally altered the audio to make him sound weird.

  Seriously.

  These days, I think his videos are actually little litmus tests…

  …if you can drink that guy’s Kool-Aid and still say “yum”, the Org’s got you for life.

  What’s happening to the Watchtower these days?

  I’m no expert…

  …but it definitely reminds me of the “nightmare” stage of “wishful thinking”.
