is the turning of people from the clergy to the psychiatrists a healthy phenomenon?

I was so sad after I read this post. I'm so sorry for what you went through.

my daughter is interested in posting on here, but there doesn't seem to be any other pint sized exjw's around.
anyone out there have kids that would like to post with her or possibly be pen pals?.
she is 7 years old but is at a 3rd grade reading and comprehension level so any kids up to 10 or so might like to correspond with her...... anyway just a thought...
My daughter (10) will undoubtedly love the idea. I don't see why it should be a problem at all, maybe just preface the posts KIDS: or something so there is no Q? as to the content.

recently jehovah has provided new light to the organization regarding personal conduct during the meetings.. an increasing number of our brothers and sisters have not focused their attention completely on the material being presented at the meetings.
these distractions have caused a few to lose out on the life-saving food given at the 'proper time'.. in view of such matters, a new position in the congregation has been established.
following the loving directions of proverbs 12:1, a congregation disciplinary servant will now monitor all brothers and sisters to ensure they are paying full attention.. no doubt, many wonder what christian duties the new disciplinary servants will be blessed with.
Cyrano,
I was serious, I'm very very curious as to whether or not this is true?
need the info;

well, my brother and his wife came over to my parent's house to visit today while i was home.. to make a long story short, while my brother and his wife were chatting with my mother in the living room, my 1 and a half year old nephew reilly walked into the kitchen where i was making a caesar salad.. he walked over towards me and was smiling, how can any normal adult resist the innocent smile of a child who is your relative?
i picked him up and gave him a huge hug, and told him i loved him.. as i was holding my nephew in my arms, my brother walked into the room.
he was smack dab in the middle of an in-depth conversation about jehovah with my mother and his wife, and i admit i was rolling my eyes listening to him spew about the "truth" and "the only means for salvation in the last days of this wicked system" even though when i confronted him with info on the un, blood, russell gravesite, rape changes, exclusivity, etc, he had no response for me because he was dumbfounded and lost for words.
Reborn,
I'm sorry that happened to you and your nephew, like the others have said you really did the right thing by walking away from the situation. I have 5 sisters and all with the exception of 1 have kids, we have had our battles and done some pretty shitty things to each other but no matter WHAT was going on between the adults our children were and are ALWAYS shared and loved, NEVER brought into anything negative.
Once a situation almost identical to yours happened (moms house, sisters baby toddling to me) only as much as sis and I were hating each other then, she was glad I was loving my niece. No matter what the contentions between 5 sisters and I over the years, the sharing of the children has never been affected. But then we all 'fell away' from the 'truth'.
I'm sure there's a connection there.
March On said don't lose hope for your brother seeing the light and I have to say when I first read your post I got the distinct feeling that in all probability he WILL.
It honestly might happen quicker if you refrain from talking to him or any witnesses in your family about it, it probly just makes them defensive. But you know yur family situation best . . . just a thought. Sad to say but when he withheld your nephew from you it was probably more defending his god than protecting his son.
Chin up and all that if he's any kind of decent person (I'm sure he is or you wouldn't try to help him see the light), he'll think on what he did and feel badly for it.
Just take care of you,

mystikool told me i should endure.
he said it not right for me to drop out when there is battle to be fought.
so i no longer offended.
Hilda,
I'd love to read may bible to check on the 'goads' thing but once last summer I ran out of an important household staple and I had to use my bible instead (the nwt ain't exactly Charmin . . . but it works in a pinch!).
Maybe you could loan me yours, I promise to return it . . .

im sure nothing surprises the people who regularly post here.
but what really shocks me now is that as a child i genuinely believed some of the most preposterous, stupid and moronic things ever committed to papyrus.. take the nephilim.
well they were mutants.
The bible can be a very confusing topic if you expect it to be consistent or make sense . . . but what do you expect analysis of (largely poorly written) fiction to be like? Personally I like Stephen King better, at least he's consistent.

don't know if this is the appropriate place to post this it certainly isn't a jw belief and i don't believe in believing (much of anything), but i'm always theorizing always speculatin' and heres a particular speculation i've been hypothesizing for some while now, something a really powerful post in this forum inspired me to throw out here for your perusal.
whatever the reaction, your sure to have one!.
think about this, you know suffering, struggling, forging on .
Introspection,
You're good, you're goooood . . . actually I'm looking at it from a combination of those viewpoints and a few more (among others physics, and some mathematical equational reasoning).
You are good, and i mean that in the best relative way.
Blondie,
Yes I actually hear it a lot . . . mostly from the birds.

now i'll try not to be paranoid and jump to conclusions, so let me stick to the facts.. at my quotes site i have set up an email "autoresponder" with links to online versions of the "pay attention" (i.e.

It can be very disturbing when a lawyer sniffs around your site, it can make you feel very victimized. I once had a lawyer sniffing around my site . . . fortunately (in a way, unfortunately in another) he worked for me . . . I fired him.

"apostates don't care about victims, their real agenda is to stop the preaching work.
isn't this comment an oxymoron?
the "preaching work" consists of jw's attempting to have householders "renunciate" their faith, thereby making "apostates" out of the householders.
Blondie,
That's certinly encouraging news! Maybe we'll continue to see a like trend in ALL religions and soon be rid of the man made curse of religion altogether. I think that would be PARADISE!
