  What Percentage of active JW's are on Anti-Depressants?

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i came across an xjw post on redditt from a rn.

  she states that nearly every jw she ever treated was on anti-depressants or anti-psychotic drugs:.

  https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/f35vaa/just_about_every_jw_i_come_across_is_on/ i once read somewhere that 1 in 5 jw's were on anti-depressants, but i couldn't find any documentation.

  There was an internist (somewhere in NYC) who had a large number of JWs as patients. This physician, after repeatedly asking the patients questions about their mental health, would write prescriptions for anti-depressants (a.k.a. "head meds") during every single appointment! Even if the dub didn't have ANY issues in that particular area, this doctor would write out a 'script anyways! The PIMOs who told me about this said that this medical professional felt--no doubt personally--that JWs, due to their belief system (doctrines and policies), are "prime candidates for use of these medications, particularly they're being members of a high-control group!". With the way WT is, I'm not really shocked! ☝🏻☝🏽🤨🤨🤷‍♀️

  Ezekiel 39:7==>"Son of man, this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Call out to every kind of bird and all the wild animals: 'Assemble and come together from all around to the sacrifice I am preparing for you, the great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel. There you will eat flesh and drink blood.

  Especially the words: Call out to every kind of bird and all the wild animals: 'Assemble and come together from all around to the sacrifice I am preparing for you, the great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel. There you will eat flesh and drink blood.

  I had soooooo many nightmares about the animals hunting to eat the people who didn't become dubs (and those, according to some SPIMIs throughout the decades not only in talks but also within plenty of conversations) dubs who--behind closed doors--not being completely obedient! 😨😨😰 I really felt sick to my stomach and had headaches when this and the blood ban were time and time again mentioned. 🤢🤮

  Knowing how WT operates, the dubs attending In-Person meetings WILL NOT give any foodstuffs/beverages, clothing, or monies to help these persons out. What they will do--and have always done so--is preach to these people until their faces turn blue plus hand out literature to the nines. This cultporation doesn't really do ANYTHING NORMALLY GOOD for anyone in society! ☝🏻☝🏽😫😖🤬

  The ONLY worthy thing about CAs and DCs/RCs/ICs I miss is THE FOOD WT, through other contracted companies, provided back in the day when they had dubs and non-members purchase tickets. The frozen puddings (any flavor), hoagies, and hamburgers were my favs. It's a shame that WT eradicated this arrangement. They've made it harder and more cumbersome for families-- especially the ones who had to make their meals--to deal with all of that. Makes a person wonder if the leadership wanted to make things difficult for the membership anyways! 😖😫

  All of these hierarchy appointments are made via PERSONAL SELECTIONS, and NOT on a real SPIRITUAL basis. If the selection was according to BIBLICAL criteria: Race, age, and possibly gender, wouldn't be prerequisites. It would be like other religious organizations. But no, WT is not anything like the others--in fact, they pride themselves on not being like the others!

  hey.

  does anyone else dread attending (in person or on zoom) the memorial months in advance?.

  literally as soon as new year hits, i feel sick and super anxious, and i've realised it's because of the memorial, which i only attend because of family, who kinda tell me the reason they have bad health is cuz i left the jw sevel years ago..

  Meetings (especially IN PERSON) for most can be a LARGE SOURCE OF ANXIETY. It's not so much due to DOCTRINES believed by the followers of this cultporation; it's more than likely in most cases the ARROGANT/ SMUG/CONCEITED/NARCISSISTIC ATTITUDES displayed/shown by the STEPFORDIZED followers in this organization. THIS, in addition to and for many other viable reasons, I woke up, discovered TTATT, and left this cultporation---FOR GOOD! 👏🏽

  the organisation is now creating museums in 35 countries, is that their new way of making money?

  nowhere does the bible say that christians should engage to such activity but is it possible the watchtower is now making it a priority for :.

  WT will, of course, BEG the R&F for more $$$$$$$ so that these structures can be built. Also, (this was mentioned via some PIMOs I know plus within the ex-JW Reddit Blogsite) that The Borg is requesting dubs who have very old literature (books, brochures, records, tapes, videos, etc.) to donate these to WHQ so that these can be displayed as ARTIFACTS in their new museums. [Sidebar=> I betcha that the old NEON WT SIGN will be exhibited there as well!]🤨😒

  Stress of Going to a Summer Convention

  by LostintheFog1999 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  spotted this picture on a friend's page, he was highlighting the mental health issue.

  however,we thought the magazine on stress was deliberately placed in the summer months because for any jw going to a convention, paying high season hotel rates for themselves or their whole family to stay near the convention centre, fighting coworkers and managers to get the time off work, travelling expenses, buying their own meals for the family, buying new shiny suits and dresses to impress (particularly if you have teenage girls who are looking for their prince), and more.... by the time they come home again and straight away back to work, their nerves will be so frazzled that their stress levels will have sky rocketed!.

  as brother elder says to them, "don't worry.
