do you tend to blame your problems on the fact that you were a jehovah's witness?.

to blame on the jws seems a bit irresponsible. but currently i do not know what to do with life's issues, i am living in the doldrums.

i'll start.

i'm low on friends, for various reasons.

scientists poke their calculators into everything, and the number of friends we can have is one of them.

Anyone here who is still a Jehovahs Witness and havent given up yet, Please answer me!

i am wanting to connect to current jws who are going through a tough time and are going through a similar time as me.

not any jw haters, just balanced concerned jws who havent quite given up yet..

i am still in. i tried to put in 1 hour every month so that i am considered a publisher. i also attend at least 1 meeting in a month. i am worried that if i miss reporting for 1 month, then i would be considered irregular. it is not good to be termed 'drifting away'.

while we couldn't blame the watchtower for depression,they on the other hand, exacerbate the illness..

Have you given up on humanity?

by d in

i was thinking to myself today,people suck humans suck.i know that when i was younger i used to see myself helpng people.but now i could care less.the reason is because in reality things will never get better.i am not saying god is going to help us.i do not believe in god.i feel that no mattr what charity you give to an organization in the end it is all futile and pointless.this life we live is hard and can seem pointless.does anybody else feel that way..

i suffered nervious breakdown after i was disfellowshipped for not taking the neutrality stand. and for the next 21 years iwas in the state of depression. but once i started taking my medicine regulary my mood improved. now i am less negative towards living.

Jevovah's Witnesses and mental health

by bubba flavel in

does anyone know if the society has specific policies on the handling of members with mental health problems?.

my grandfather, a brother in good standing since moses developed paranoid schizophrenia in his later years.

he got to the stage where he would knock people over in the street, place his hand on thier head and cast out evil spirits in the name of jehovah.. he was disfellowshiped and not long after he passed away.. this was related to me by a friend years later as i was unaware due to the shunning, i didn't even know he died.

i notice a vast great difference between the time when i was mentally sound and when i became mentally illed;one that i had the energy to cope and in the other that i was only surviving

this topic has been discussed before ... i just wanted to put my two cents in.. i will start off by saying that of course mental illness exists outside of the organization.

although it may not be right to blame others,i was under stress when i was studying in senior high;i did not suffer a nervious breakdown.it was only when i took the neutrality stand that i went into depression.
