who among us has known a jw who has committed suicide.
i believe this as a separate subject has not been covered..
Years ago....two.
The first one wiped himself out on his motor cycle after his family split up and left “the truth”.
The second was a sister in the cong who had problems which “the truth” couldn’t help. I felt sorry for her. The PO went around the hall telling us not to talk about it. He eventually ate himself to death, so I will amend my first sentence.
Years ago......three
i`m sure many of you old timers would remember her she was in her nineties when she recently passed away .. she co-starred with fred astaire in bandwagon and also appeared in a couple of episodes of the mary tyler moore show.. and won numerous awards in the entertainment industry .
she was 97 when she passed away..
Yes......I remember. The triplets number from the band wagon is one of my favourite musical pieces. The whole film was great. Sad to hear of her passing.
in the aftermath of the valentine's day school shooting in florida, i have read quite a number of articles, blogs and posts about the event.
it is disturbing--and i think inexcusable--that many people take the opportunity to use horrible tragedies such as this to push their own particular agenda.. in particularly insensitive and tone-deaf tweet, conservative political commentator tomi lahren wrote: "can the left let the families grieve for even 24 hours before they push their anti-gun and anti-gunowner agenda?
my goodness.
jwundubbed....I was going to comment on this "mentally ill" business, but I think you have covered it really well. I fully support what you have so eloquently written and I feel that people should realise that just because a person is unwell it does not follow that they are violent and "unhinged".
https://www.nature.com/news/1-500-scientists-lift-the-lid-on-reproducibility-1.19970.
more than 70% of researchers have tried and failed to reproduce another scientist's experiments, and more than half have failed to reproduce their own experiments.
i didn't know it was so widespread...but it's a big problem in biology/medicine..
LUHE.....Most scientists do the best they can......That is an interesting statement! I was torn apart on my last topic posted for daring to criticise the God of science.
"scientific research" is all about money. Especially in the field of medicine. I have seen too many victims to think otherwise.
please help me understand this.
over the years i have seen and have heard of many who have changed congregation due to the 'lack of love' shown in their own.
you then hear many condemning such ones as 'having a problem' and 'taking their problems with them'.
I have had social anxiety disorder for all of my life, becoming much worse from my late twenties forty years ago.
I saw a psychiatrist for twenty years who dished out the usual benzodiazapines, which I have to say have kept me going and I seem to tolerate them, which goes against all the printed evidence apparently.
It was hard going to the hall when I was in, some evenings not talking to anybody and feeling really out of it and it is emotionally hard now with my wife still in even though I am totally out and "inactive" now. She understands my problem though and supports me as did many in the cong as I had known some since the mid seventies.
In late 1998 there was a really good article in the awake mag on SAD which actually caused some discussion at the hall and it surprised me to find that quite a few had this problem at varying levels. I had also found the same thing at work. Some much worse than me.
There have been some good replies and comments made here IMHO and I don't have any advice other than to echo what Phoebe said and go and talk things over with a psychologist that you feel really comfortable with.. All the best to you.
is this true?
is this really true?!.

It's only a baby. Keep it as a pet. I've had a few in the house and the shed over the years, usually curled up and fast asleep.
anyone got any ideas on how to get kingdom melodies out of my head.
keep finding myself singing them without realising and it's getting annoying lol.
hopefully they'll disappear with time.
I listen to podcasts on my phone as I am walking around doing boring jobs. I like early 20th century music so you can find anything you want I guess. I also listen to podcasts from dubstepped (another plug for you dub). That might take your mind off jw rubbish music.

with all the focus on the new anti-masturbation vide telling all bethelites not to sleep inappropriately with a pillow, surely this has to be the very item that will send the gb into fits of despair?
?.
Yeah......especially if it was a same sex pillow.
i’ve just won the lottery!.
this will really make all of you jealous!
no truly, i won’t have to work again, enough money for all my needs and more, a lot more!
That was clever and funny. I was going to congratulate you too.
