  Dear Friend,

  Please get help for your bipolar disorder. You need to focus on your health right now, not getting into a lifetime commitment with a volunteer publishing house disguised as a religion.

  I was in this religion the first 56 years of my life and I know what I am talking about. The guilt feelings they will produce in you, making you feel inadequate will do you no good.

  I have many friends and relatives who have bi polar and anxiety disorders and they have all improved since leaving Jehovah's Witnesses. The constant stress of meeting and assembly attendance plus getting in time in field service is not good for anyone.

  To thine own self be true. God is not going to be mad at you for not joining a cult. Remember that.

  My Final Goodbye

  by Lady Lee in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  i want to start by saying i will not participate in discussion here about my resignation as a moderator at jwn.. simon please consider this as my resignation from that position.. i have been posting on this board for almost 12 years.

  i know some of you a lot, others a little and some not very well at all.

  i have remained here for those of you who have needed support as you make the transition out of the wts, who needed someone to listen to your experiences of abuse at the hands of jehovah's witnesses, and to both laugh and cry with you as you progress out of the watchtower society.. we know that we have all experienced the cruelty of abuse of one kind or another.

  If you are studying with Jehovah's Witnesses you should indeed stop immediately. This is because you will save yourself from being shunned by those who claimed to love you should you ever decide to leave the organization.

  "Something amusing to get you reading my post"

  by frogonmytoe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been reading threads on here for months, having not been to a meeting in about 3 years, and spending the year prior to that avoiding them.

  considering i am gay and now live with my boyfriend, i think we can consider me officially drifted, or fallen away, or whatever semantic nonsense the wts uses for specifying the manner of our waking up.

  anyway, i thought it about time i said hello and hopefully make some new friends with whom i can talk about things.

  Well, 'really'? - Watchtower Study Articles 15 July 2013

  by JWB in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  - watchtower study articles 15 july 2013. .

  as most people will know, the watchtower magazine is the principle publication used by the watch tower society (wts) to teach its own brand of religious doctrine to those known as jehovah's witnesses (jws).

  why is the 15 july 2013 watchtower so important?

  This July 2013 study addition will be the hottest subject for years to come, especially since Armageddon STILL hasn't come yet, as predicted by the FDS.

  well i wouldn't really call it hard work, but i have to come into the office and sit and wait for the phone to ring.

  i work every 3rd weekend and it really is unpleasant.

  9 hours each day with nothing to do but wait for the phone to ring.

  NVR2l8, you are so right. Remember assemblies where the whole three days, Friday through Sunday were spent in cramped sports arena seats struggling to stay awake? Sometimes we had to travel for hours to get there? The little kids were so miserable and they got spanked for simply expressing themselves. What a terrible way to waste precious time.
