  Elders, apostasy and disfellowshipping issue's - thoughts please

  by FeelingFree in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok so... when i was talking to my mil about why i no longer wanted to be a witness she kept trying to convience me that i needed to speak to the elders.

  i said from the word go i didn't feel the need to as my mind was already made up and no one could change it.

  i also said if the elders new all my reasons for leaving they would view me as an apostate and i would get disfellowshipped.

  JW's and depression

  by FeelingFree in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was wondering how many of you suffered badly with depression when you were in "the truth" and if you feel your depression was related to being part of the organisation?

  are you better now you have left or still have issue's?

  whatever your experience's i would be very intrested to know (if you feel you can talk about it.).

  I suffered from severe bouts of depression at times which started in my late teens. It got a little better over time but I really improved once I was menatally free from the Borg. Still get it once in a while though. Being born in, you can never fully let go. Its Like PDSD or in my case PWSD.

  It's allowed rational thought to flow more freely through my brain. I'm at peace and see life in a totally different way. I'm generally more happy. A god would have to

  Be pretty evil to allow all the human misery through out history. Now we know it was all human nature and mother nature.

  She probably just stole the bucket from someone who was slain by J. You know, she must have Pryed it out of his cold dead hand's

  are there any statistics to show that proportionally the jw's are growing at a greater rate outside of western countries and, in particular, the african continent?.

  if so, anybody's guess ?.....

  1] by what year would the organization be predominantly african in membership?.

  The GB could eventually build they're 'Head quarters'/ retirement center in Africa. Preferably near a tribe of Head Hunters.

  " Do not ask permission, just play the video--" service meeting instructions.

  this statement startled me out of the pleasant mental absence during this week's "service" meeting.. pushing the org.

  explanation: "the listener has time to interrupt, if they want--" .

  together with an incredible boring "study" of an hand held device, or it's stored content, i will be a totally new crop of orgies at the halls,.

  It's such a sad state what this religion's been reduced to, I'm starting to really feel bad for the old timer rank and file JW.

  China will become a much stronger regional power but will never surpass the US as the world's

  Leading super power. At least not for the foreseeable future. It's partially because of America's allys around

  The world (particularly Europe) and also the culture of the Chinese is very introverted. They generally tend to

  Not want to be involved in other countries affairs except if they need to trade (strictly economic reasons)

  July WT Study magazine - How can any intelligent person believe these things??

  i haven't been paying attention, i admit... but thought i would go and look at their latest magazine, and see what my parents are spending their precious energy on this month.

  my mom retired in may, and we have seen her just once since then.

  our invitations have been rejected, due to meetings, conventions, service work requirements, etc.
