here's a load of horse shit.. *************************************.
print it and keep it for a reference in the field ministry.. .
recently on jeopardy, one of the answers was "it's the most accurate translation of the holy scriptures?
the biggest rumours always originate with the witnesses and seemingly come from Bethel. i recall in the 1970's witnesses around the Toronto Bethel where rumours were rampant that the new scrolls or the book of life were being printed. Can you believe some witnesses fell for this, like my aunt and mother for one. sheesh when will people ever get things straight and truthful.

it never seems to be brought up in jah's so wonderful org.
but depression seems rampant, i can name 7-10 people right now on antidepreswsant drugs.
well I didn't read the poster above me, because my eyes can't stay focused on the screen long, and I am sure what this doctor said is true.
When I was disfellowshipped at the end of 99 depression was rampant in the congregation. Many are in denial. Many say if you pray to Jehovah he will help you, but little do many of them realize that people who suffer from depression isn't always just depression brought on by themselves. Many suffer from Bi Polar, and others, seasonal depression such as cabin fever, then there is depression brought on due to ill health maybe their own health or that of one they love dearly. Then the is schizophrenia, this is a cruel mental illness and no one can help, it is in the brains chemistry and it can happen to anyone at anytime in a persons life.
Mental illness is as old as mankind's existence and even Christ cured those with mental illness.
One re bound doctor in Toronto's St Micheal's Hospital told me that the highest incidence of clinical mental illnesses are among Jehovah's Witnesses. She said they are expected to live a life so opposite that of everyone else that it affects their whole life, but they fail to see it and in most cases deny it. Then you have those who thrive on it getting attention from everyone, and saying oh I feel so depressed to day you know yada yada yada....
It came as no surprise to me. Trying to be something a man made organization wants and expects you to do that is totally opposite to the rest of the world would place a monumental strain on the body and brain and that of young children also. As they are expected to be completely different from the rest of their classmates. Not being able to enjoy the festivities of any holiday would hurt as child deeply as he or she would observe the gaiety of their peers. How utterly unfair it is to the child to subject them to this from of treatment and parents wonder why their children act out or up in meetings, rebel, or leave home as soon as they are of legal age. They hate the religion. Because the religion has forgotten how to teach as Christ taught and they have forgotten how to forgive as Christ taught. They have forgotten how to enjoy get to gethers in family and friends for feasts and sharing. They have forgotten what it means to be a Christian all to gether. Now if they were to read the scriptures with open mindedness and showed some decent compassion like Christ then perhaps a big percentage of the witnesses would less likely to suffer from depression. They are wound up so tight that at any moment they will explode.

During my 38 yrs as a witness I was called to jury duty three times. Each time I explained to the court that I felt in good conscience that I wouldn't make a good juror as I was a JW and to judge a person was not up to me but up to God. I would like the oppourtunity to try again though, but not on a murder charge. Civil suits or fraud etc.
Each time I was exempt from duty.

i watched forrest gump the other day.
it is no surprise it is one of the most successful movies of all time, i haven't tired of it :).
anyhow, toward the end of the film as gump speaks to jenny's grave the words made me think of jws and the wt.. jenny, i don't know if momma was right or if, if it's lieutenant dan.
Just to add this about Forrest Gump yes it was a great movies, but so was Rain Man.
I figured I would add my two cents worth.

so ,i am hearing different sides of the whole swine flu shot debate.
should we get the shot ?
or not?
WTW what would you suggest to people like myself who have weak immunity systems and have constant respitory infections? Last year I had my influenza vaccine and I was sick afterwards but I was still slightly sick when I got the flu shot, as I am scared to get anything that might send me back to the hospital with respitory illness. So should I or shouldn't I? Any advise for moi?

things no jehovah's witness will ever tell you.. .

One thing no JW's will ever tells you is plain and simple and that is this the TRUTH!!!!

i do nothing of my own accord........ as i make my way into work i see everyone glued to the television in the conference room listening to reports of an attack by terrorists in the united states.
video is being played over and over again showing how the airplanes flew directly into the twin towers.
and thereafter the buildings do colapse.
here is another angry kitty. I gather from the so called son of man, he has a lot of issues that can't be settled in a forum. Yes I said you need help with your mental health, because sir you are delusional, and have grandiose ideals, these are prime components in a person who suffers from certian kinds of mental illness. I said I wasn't trying to be mean or cruel and that still stands.
You seem unable to except critism or any hind that you could be perhaps wrong. If you are so sure that what you believe in is so right then why aren't you sitting in the headquarters of Jehovah's Witnesses and telling the GB what they should be doing.
By the way are you related to Reniaa?? Just wondering.
one other matter I wish to address is and that is this, I don't debate the scriptures. It is futility to even try and discuss in a normal conversation with you let allow a debate, your apt to be considerably to narrow minded and arguementative.
So I have no desire to throw pearls this days.

i just did a week ago and slowly recovering.
i had biopsies done along with a lavage... i've visited the er twice in the past 4 days for chest pain and suffocation... yet all ct scans and vitals are ok. .
i am fine as long as i am resting but as soon as i do light activities i quickly get fatigued and when i've continued then chest pressure develops and i end up in the er.... my pulmonologist doesnt know why... any experiences welcome.
i had my tests and have two more this coming week, and I am not looking forward to them. But I need them apparently to determine once and for all the severity of my asthma. I am sure it is not that major. At least I hope not and then in Oct. I have a CT scan of my sinusis to see if the problem first originated there or not. Dr. says that an infection any where in the sinusis can cause a lot of problems for asthma patients as well.
It also can cause a person to think they have asthma when in point of fact it is sign of perhaps of something more serious.
Life indeed is an enigma.

no you can't catch, enigma ofc.

Son of man, I have only true pity in my heart for you. you have diluted yourself into believing your someone you are not a person who believes he is a gift from God, a member of the FDS class and why do you call your self the son of man? How can you possibly be so self righteous as to make this assertion? That number in the bk of Revelation is merely a symbolic number the 144,000 is not literal. All it represents is the the 12 apostles and Christ as the corner stone. In ancient Isreal each of the 12 tribes surely had more than 12,000 persons per tribe. There were millions of Jews. So it is only a number and symbolic at that.
You repeat disasters that have already passed and now try and work scriptures into a frame or pattern to suit the disaster. It doesn`t work that way.
Quite frankly I find your attitude quite offensive to think that you think that your someone special above all others to be a spokes person on behalf of God. I am sorry friend but you are quite wrong. Your in the wrong lane way.
You aren`t the first to believe that your special and you won`t be the last, I have great pity for you. You are in need proper guidance. And I am speaking of medical help. It is neither my intent to be cruel or nasty but rather kind in expressing my deep concern for you mental health. I suggest speaking to a proffesional doctor or doctors about this before you end up hurting yourself or someone else.
I will truly pray for you.. and your eternal destination.
