Just say you have a co worker or relative, old friend- that is disfellowshipped and talk on about how hard it is to shun someone you respect/love. Then ask them what would they do in that situation. If they say , they'd uphold the loving provision of shunning to please Jehova then you have your answer. But if they say hmmm it is hard to say , that means there's hope!

When are they going to air the meetings on TV like these mega churches are doing? Then they can have a toll free number for viewers to call and give donations. :-) -

I would be PISSED if someone took my photo, hell we can't even record our Judicial Hearing. So I would not tolerate the photos being taking. That is stalking. I would indeed make a scene! I'd be on the nightly news exposing some things!!! -

A JW would not say anything bad about the other witness to your face. But online they would tell you that she is disobeying Jehovah God, because she would not be marrying in the lord. You two are unevenly yoked. They may say that you, a non believer, can take a stand for Jehovah and tell her that she should be doing things God's way. They would not blame you, because you don't know any better because you aren't in the "truth" (true religion). But you can save her from being destroyed at Armageddon if you Sign up for a bible study and get baptised.
I'm curious how did the 2 of you meet?
And welcome

How to deal with anxiety?
by BlackWolf inlately my mental health has been rapidly declining.
i have anorexia and deppression, and my anxiety has become overwhelming.
i have been to many doctors/therapists in the past, but because i have not been magically cured my parents dont want to get me any more help.

So sorry to hear that you you are having a hard time. Did you feel as though therapy was beneficial, even if it was to be heard? And I feel as though you should at least stay under a doctors supervision. I wonder if your parents would consider letting you at least keep a doctor just to monitor things. -

No, I don't find it restrictive
And no we're not allowed to Google search our religion, or read ex member sites
Yes, I'll refuse a blood transfusion for my children even if it is a matter of life or death.
Yes, I'll shun my family if they leave Jehovah.
No, I am not brain washed; my brain is just washed clean from the thinking of this system of things aka the world.
Yes, I have to keep reminding myself how happy I am and that Jehovah's people are the happiest people on earth. Despite the fact that many witnesses suffer from depression and anxiety.
