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.
I remember the reason they used to give for this was because the religion appeals to those types of people. Basically saying they were the most sheep like people.
At the time this seemed like sound reasoning. How could any right hearted person possibly be happy in this system

Anyway who cares?
I don't particularly care but the WT says that the Borg cares. So why is it OK to break that rule with no consequences? Maybe it is one of those things they put in the WT to protect themselves when something goes wrong.
Puff, The probably don't all do it because they realize that if they start poking around they would lose half the younger generation. Better to keep their blinders on. I ran across a woman who I think was a JW based on a couple of her PMs to me but she posted pictures of her kid blowing out candles on a birthday cake.
Why are sites like that allowed by the jw's? I wonder if it is actually sanctioned by them?
I love how almost all the products get 5 stars. Even if they wrote a bad review they gave it 5 stars.
Any other sites owned by JWs selling stuff for JWs.
I case you are too lazy to watch the video the site is ministryideaz.com
it took me a long time to write this....i'm being brutally honest...i am still a reg pioneer...three sundays ago,i was praying and asking god for a sign or something because i was so confused...i told him exactly what i needed to see for me to believe.i was feeling terrible--crying and feeling sick because i was so confused.ten minutes after, i walked into the kingdom hall and to my surprise--my prayer was answered!
i soooo wasn't expecting it, even though i prayed.
so this is where almighty god wants me to be,ii've reasoned.
Did we ever find out how the prayer was answered?
Bubblegum Apotheosis' other post made me think of you:
What Are You Looking For, Something That Makes Sense Of Kingdom Hall Conduct?
That's pretty funny.
Makes me wonder why elders don't troll peoples facebook page for wrongdoing. Or at least why people don't get turned in by their peers by the stuff they have there.
I remember people selling stuff like that when I was young well before the internet and is that company that sells the COs used cars still areound?
I sent away to them for a no blood keychain once and still get pamplets in the mail although I haven't in quite a while.
Yup I just found it online
the [human] creation itself also will be set free from enslavement to corruption and have the glorious freedom of the children of god.romans 8:21.
[period within close of quotation marks].
quotation marks can be used to indicate 'alleged' or 'so-called'.
Who is Peter?
i just tried to paste the link from a concordance but i guess it doesn't work on here but if you look up the hebrew word "hovah" it means ruin and disaster... given that, do you think jehovah is an appropriate thing to be calling the lord god?.
Did you mean ??????
I hate unicode....
jehovah's witness doesn't vote, so she can't get liquor license.
veronica brown, who is applying for a liquor license, said she was stunned to learn about the requirement.
but she said that voting is adverse to her beliefs as a jehovah's witness and that registering to vote and then not voting would be hypocritical.. http://www.omaha.com/article/20120613/news01/706139915/-1.
steve2 Did the reporters ascertain she wasn't under the influence of alcohol at the time she spoke to them?
