Suicide - How many do you know within the JWs
by Lady Lee inthw wts likes to play games with their statistics.
one interesting but truly tragic is the number of jwhovah's witnesses who commit suicie.. now i suspect that if a person commits suicide shortly before or after they are disfellowshipped then the elders would say that person wasn't a witness or that they had done something so terrible that they were too guilty to admit it and by their action of committing suicide they pretty much declared they were no longer a jw.. yup fancy talk to make sure any crap didn't fall on them.. so my question.. do you know of cases like this?
if so then can you answer a few more questions.. had this person been dfed or in real danger of being dfed or whatever the equivalent is if they were never baptized?.

I know of 2 suicides. Both were in good standing but severely depressed and saw no other way out. One was the son of a prominent Elder who was in love with a JW gal with no "pedigree". His father shipped him off to Bethel where the poor young man had a breakdown. I've forgotton how long he was there.(happened many years ago) Soon after he returned home he put a gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger.
The second one was a thrty-something married man with a couple of young children and a wife who was sickly. He locked himself in his garage and sucked on the tailpipe of his car.
More than just the lives of the victims were ruined. Those that loved them were permantly scarred as well.

Got Disfellowshipped!
by time2keepmoving inwell, i was disfellowshipped about 2 weeks ago.
i was in it for ten years and it was 9 years and 11 months too long.
i honestly don't know why it took me so long to do my research on this organization.

Timetokeepmoving, Welcome! Glad you are out with friends for support. You are already ahead of some of us who have'nt been out long. It seems the more a person strictly obeyed the stupid rules, the harder it is when you learn the truth about the "Truth". Pat yourself on the back.

He's Trying to get me to come back to the fold...by admitting the faults of the Watchtower
by PYRAMIDSCHEME inmy firend (who is an elder) recently sent the email below trying to get me to come back.
he freely admits the faults of the wt and even goes on to say that even if they did not have gods holy spirit, he felt they would still have gods blessing as the one true religion.
i thought i would get your thoughts on this as it really is (sadly) delusional.

Doesn't the WTS believe that withholding the truth from those who have a right to know is deception? This elder is implying that he knows the Society is wrong about the issues he raised. If HE knows then surely THEY know yet no corrections or apologys are given. They are letting the flock continue to believe what they already know to be false.
Your friend omitted the blood issue. It appears the society is softening their stance yet not admitting their understanding has been wrong. Were the thousands who have died because they refused lifesaving blood being tested by Jehovah? Did holy spirit falsly direct the organization? Doesn't the Bible say God does not try people with evil things? Who does the Bible say is the father of the lie?

Personally, I hate the new format. So far I've been able to keep the old and hope it stays that way.

Can you be in Love with two persons? My Dilemma...
by Intel infirst, don't laugh.

Intel, Please reread your answer to my question: How does she act when she doesn't get her own way? This manipulative behavior on her part speaks volumes. Willful people tend to seek partners they know will give in to preserve the peace. This selfish personality trait has nothing to do with religion. Even if she leaves the Borg for good, you will still be living a life walking on eggshells. Is THAT what you want 10, 20, years from now?
It is good to be a peacemaker up to a point, but NOT at the expence of loosing yourself. You must learn to respect yourself more. Therapy might be money well spent. To be part of a successful relationship you must be whole within yourself. You must be able to bring something to the "table". Your hopes, dreams, interests, should never have to be tossed simply to satisfy your partner.
I hope you carefully consider these things. I was married 30 years to someone sefish. I have been married 12 years to someone who is not. Freedom to be your self is priceless.
