The more likely scenerio would be that the elders woud grill Mary to see if she had done something else that was causing her depression.
Mary, did you perhaps have sex with somene else and that is what is bringing on this bout of guilty depression?

Simon, I love the new CAPTCHA
by pixel insimon,.
just for the records, good job with the captcha lately.
numbers and cute texts like today's make it easy to log-in!.

It is odd most of the time it is just numbers for me, but on one of my computers it is (or was) the hard to read characters.
little known fact, the extra "cute text" is not actually required for the captcha to work. When you type that in you are helping to translate Scanned images into text.

I've worked hard to overcome negative thinking. I have been working at it diligently for about 2-3 years and it still takes work I'm definitely much better than I used to be though.
I spent years of my life being depressed and way too much time thinking about how people had done me wrong.
I am amazed that I almost never find myself thinking about negative stuff anymore.
I even try to spend some time thinking about what I am grateful for.
It takes some time but you get better and better at it until the pendulum swings in the other direction where positive thinking starts to become the norm
A few of the things that have helped me.
youtube meditation and hypnosis videos. There's also tons of stuff on the web that isn't on youtube.
Motivational books, from my library, both books and cd's. Many libraries even let you download books and audio books right from their website these days.
Motivational books on youtube, I can't believe how many books and cd's I find on youtube. Some are copies of the cd some people will actually sit down and read a book and post it on youtube.
Search for "full book" and then start to narrow down your search when you find stuff you are interested in.
Youtube will start to help you out by finding related stuff.
"The secret" was very motivational. Even if it isn't true it helps me to think more positive and I have become more positive.

Sometimes I feel bad that I wasted so much time as a dub, but honestly thats part of who I am and that's ok.
Meditation videos on youtube and other places on the web really helped me to relax.
You can change your feelings by working hard to change what you spend time thinking about.
People say you become what you think about most of the time.
Even if not true, thinking negative most of the time will make you depressed.
When you start thinking about death change the mental subject.
A couple things that help me to stop thinking about negative stuff is;
Picturing stop sign when I start thinking negative.
Taking my negative thoughts and pretending to play them like a record while scratching them with the record needle.
Some people who are more visual might want to think of them like a micky mouse cartoon.
The things tha the seemed to help the most were probably the meditation and hypnotism videos on youtube, podcats etc...
There are also a ton of motivational books that you can listen to and download from youtube.
Just search for full book on youtube and you will start to find stuff. The more you find the more you will find.
I also try to start and end my day by thinking about what I am grateful for. It is hard at first but slowly gets easier as time goes by.
It might seem odd but if you were sick and had to take a pill every day you wouln't feel the least bit odd about doing it.
I have gone from chronic depression and negative thinking to being happy most of the time.

Meeting Not Cancelled but Postponed
by wisdomfrombelow inthere's a big snowstorm on the east coast and i found out that the school and service meeting was not cancelled but postponed to tomorrow.
why do they think it's so important to have it so they ruin another evening after shoveling snow?
just venting.....

Ahhhh a nice Thursday night watching prime time TV
We used to have an unusual number of thursday meetings canceled on thanksgiving day.

I think I might have been at one of the more liberal KH's

JW. org: "No, we are not a cult. We do not look to any human as our leader."
by Faithful Witness ini know this has been rehashed, time and again, but i saw this interesting blip on jw.org last night, and did a little thinking about it.... jw.
org answers the important question that so many have... are jehovah's witnesses a cult?.
jehovah's witnesses do not look to any human as their leader.

It is easy to not be a cult if you define what a cult is.
Some think of a cult as people who kill pigs and drink their blood naked in time square on new years eve.
Obviously we are not a cult.
