  "Psychiatrist is an Admission of Defeat"

  by new boy in

  “the christian witnesses of jehovah are the best oriented, happiest and most contended group of people on the face of the earth.

  so why on earth would any good follower need the help of a mental health professional?” the society tells about the evils of seeking help from outside their organization.

  "as a rule, for a christian to go to a worldly psychiatrist is an admission of defeat.

  Even as a full ahead PIMI I was sick of the word "SPECIAL" tacked on to everything. It was never special.

  i was at the regional convention and asked an elder why is that at the assemblies their is an accounts report but not at the conventions?

  he said, well actually they got a letter and in it said that in a little while they will do away with the accounts report stating how much the assembly costs for the weekend and just go to donation basis like at the conventions.. my first thought was, "they will donate even less now.".

  anybody else hear about such a thing?.

  anyone else notice this about jw public speakers.

  they all seem like clones.

  they have the same mannerisms, try to use the same style of speaking, similar jokes, etc.
