  Nervous break down because of being a JW?

  by easyreader1970 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know it's sometimes hard to pinpoint causes of things when there could be several potential causes.

  i am wondering if anyone here knows anyone (or maybe you yourself) who has had a nervous breakdown directly or indirectly because of being associated with the jehovah's witnesses.

  i am not on the verge yet, i don't feel like, but then again maybe these things just snap in a person.

  Agnes and Sebastian: a Celluloid Drama

  by compound complex in

  1. jw

  agnes and sebastian a celluloid drama.

  they could not be further apart in their respective worlds worlds separated by time, place and action.

  i have concluded that the dramatic unities shall find themselves divided and conquered unless the author succeeds in tying together the widely divergent comparisons and contrasts of the lives of a pair of unforgettable people.

  here's one to start the ball rolling.

  if you are not feeling well, have a headache, a backache, whatever but you would go to work but didn't go to a meeting or in "field service"---then you "sinned" against jehovah.....any others?

  Can You Defend Yourself before a J. Committee?

  by D wiltshire in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  to those who have been before a judicial committee for apostacy.. the elders will ask you questions not for the purpose of finding out the truth, but to make sure they can df you.. at my appeal hearing serveral months ago i was questioned by the appeal committees to their satifaction, they even thanked me for my honesty, as it helped them get what they were looking for to make the original dfing stand.. after they were finished with their questions i ask if i could now defend myself and prove that i was telling the truth and not a biblical apostate.. the chairman informed me that i would not be allowed to defend myself.. i looked at all 8 brothers(2 committees 5 & 3) in total amazement at his refusal to allow me to defend myself.

  to them(8) it seem perfectly alright not to allow me to defend myself.. wow.. the chairman said they really were not a judicial court and did not need to be that concerned about doing things in harmony with what is concidered to be fair and right by worldly courts or the bible.

  in fact the chairman spent about 10 minutes trying to explain why they didn't have have to be fair in the legalistic way of courts.. .

  JW's and Chronic Fatigue Syndrone!

  2. friends

  chronic fatigue syndrone, m e, yuppie flu.

  .

  i dont know if anyone else has noticed the alarming number of jws who claim to suffer from chronic fatigue syndrone,i mean hear in cornwall there tend to be several sufferers in every congregation,outside the jws out of the many people i know i dont know anyone,although there are obviosly many outside the jws who suffer this illness,percentage wise it seems that jws have a much,much larger occorance of the illness.. for example my brother in law has not worked and been living on invalidity benefits for more than 10 years since his mid twenties,his brother is also in the same boat, an m.e sufferer.. i wonder if anyone has looked into this a bit more?

  "What Is Truth?"

  by LoneWolf in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a few of us have been conversing by email on this subject and i thought id throw it out for all to consider, as it affects all of us.. im interested in this subject as it is the question pontius pilate asked jesus, what is truth?

  (john 18:37, 38) also, it seems especially apropos for our day as if ever there was a time that truth was needed, it is now.. for me, the following concepts help tremendously, as they are ways to classify and organize truth itself and helps us to realize when we are getting complacent in our thinking.

  it also helps emphasize just how little we know, streamlines our avenues of inquiry, and makes the very process of learning exciting.
