  Health - has anyone else suffered long lasting health effects from years with the Borg?

  by Chariklo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  does anyone else feel or know that jehovah's witnesses damaged their health?.

  i know many have emerged with depression, and i'm very relieved that i am not one of them.. but, being the age i am, (a large tribe of grandchildren) i was nonetheless pressured to go out door to door in steep countryside often in bad weather, and because i was doing my best to keep up that ended in an injury which has proved to be long lasting.. and that's not counting the stress-induced consequences...i won't cite them all here, but physical.

  a few days in hospital and a summer spent on compulsory almost complete rest can all be laid at the watchtower's door.the trauma of actually extricating oneself from the borg is not stopped when one has finally written that letter that disassociates oneself from them.

  I know many brilliant Witnesses who said "I don't want my mate to take anti-depressants and become a drug addict.

  they may not need the pills. they need to leave the pressure cooker congregation

  Missionaries in Tiawan asked to give salaries back to bethel...one resigned!!

  a friend from australia's first "ministerial training school" was excited to go to asia as a missionary....only to return in disgrace!!!

  the government lets them stay if they become "english teachers" and except a part-time job for a salary {which is generous}.

  bethel told him that the money he earns on the side while a missionary belongs to them!!

  this is their vacation time that they work for a relative. It does suck and they know it but are still too indoctrinated to quit. They are or used to be heavy drinkers too. they are special pioneers assigned to a remote territory

  the couple I know have to work on the hush hush because the bethel wont allow them to earn money. they still do work about one month a year just because what the bethel gives as salary is insufficient.

  A couple I know are special pioneers/missionaries and bethel does NOT allow them to work on the side at all. However they work secretly for their witness relatives on their vacation so they can survive. I used to give this couple money when they came home cause i felt sorry for them. they are nice people but are just stuck in a rut.

  Letter about using iPads at meetings

  by under the radar in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  first of all, i really appreciate it when official, especially "secret," boe letters and the like are posted here.

  it's great to have that stuff on hand, straight from the horse's... uhh...mouth, when certain "friends" deny the slave would ever do or say such and such.... anyway, there have been some references to a letter they sent out about using ipads and the like during congregation meetings.

  could anyone provide a scan or link to this letter?
