the zeal and general character of witnesses is firmly.
grounded in its encouragement of a kind of mental illness.. specifically, being obsessive-compulsive.
once i started seeing this, things really fell into place.. it helped to explain so much behaviour that baffled me.
This is interesting, I had a simular thought. Curious why so many of us end up in forums like it's a home away from home.

why would i want such a thing:.
i am lonely, and i know that most of the women who are jw's are concerned with them selves they want rich men with flashy clothes.. women who want prestige in the congregation saying look i got an elder for a husband see how he is taking the lead in my family in all things and giving talks at the assembles, i show him respect as man only because he has earned it in the fashion of a bride price.. thus the above relates to me to the extent my ex-wife got me to believe in all this negative crap, that i as a man was unworthy of god and my fellow members if i don't size up to all the religious do's and don'ts.. depression oh yeah i am that just like toy's r. us, traumatic brain injury then my a wonderful wife in good standing in the holy witness congregation of twenty-one years, dumps my sorry ass saying gee you have changed too much.
like duh, you have large portion of your brain stabbed and gouged from skull fragments and see if it does not confuse you or contribute to depressing you dear, of course no response she just goes and marries a known child molester of the congregation who then attempts it on my twelve year old daughter.. oh there's is much more so crazy you would think i was making it up, but who gives a flying crap, huh.. ~shane
Hi Shane, Glad you didn't.
I'm glad I didn't either.
I was once in a frame of mind that believed I didn't because I was to weak.
I convinced myself I wasn't worthy, allowed myself to believe it, andthought it was weakness that kept me from going through with killing myself. Bad frame of mind to be in. The fact is I didn't kill myself because I am and was a whole lot stronger then I gave myself credit for and so are you. You have to weed out the negitive crap and tell yourself every day you are a worth while person. And for Gods Sake Stay Away From Negitive People Whom Ever They May Be!
Best wishes to you. plmkrzy

It all depends on your insurance. My room-mate has had terrible expierences with them and I did to after I changed insurance. When my second son was born I had all of my prenatle care there and he was born there. I recieved excellent care. BUT at that time I had excellent insurance. They have poor doctors, fair doctors and excellent doctors. You get what your insurance will pay for.

we on this forum understand that the watchtower society will not hesitate to lie to the public in order to put its best foot forward.
many of us know that the society's media website, http://www.jw-media.org contains quite a bit of misleading information, such as on the shunning issue.
under the link to "their beliefs" -> "frequently asked questions" ( http://www.jw-media.org/beliefs/beliefsfaq.htm ) they ask the question, "do you believe that you are the only ones who will be saved?
I am familure with the two different catagories. When I was still attending meetings this was always one of those grey areas meaning it depended on who you were conversing with. Some would say nothing and avoid the issue or not coment when I said anything like "I'm sure, how can anyone think that only there religion will survive the great tribulation?" And then there were those who agreed. There isn't as much unity as described. I found that out long time ago.

i have just updated the "find ex-jws worldwide" database which is up at:.
http://www.watchtowernews.org/findexjws.htm.
there are over 2000 listed now.
It's still downloading something. I click'd on 'names' and i have to inter a user ID number. I'm not on the list. How would I be able to just browse? I have a lot of friends I lost touch with when I left several years ago who have since moved or changed last names. I would like to see if I could locate a few just for the hell of it. Not a life or death thing for me.
