  I can only see up to Dec 12 on their site, for the study edition :-/

  This is an issue close to my heart, as the only way my dad would contact me would be via email so my mum and others couldn't keep tabs on him as easy as if he were texting/calling.

  I haven't heard from him in a while, prolly this is why.

  Leaving the Watchtower and your mental health

  by Christ Alone in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've seen that many in the organization have an unhealthy view of medical professionals, especially as it relates to psychiatry/psychology.

  i thought this was an appropriate topic considering what happened with oompa.

  how do you feel about your mental health now that you left?

  I used therapy/counselling to help me gain the courage to leave the JWs and my ex-husband, and have continued checking in with a counsellor on an almost monthly basis since. I could not recommend it more. We are fortunate here in Australia that counselling services are provided free through a lot of places of employment (public sector) and also through my university, I haven't had to pay yet.

  For any that missed my thread, (I've been offline for a bit with uni etc), I got called on by Vincent Toole the other weekend. He knows my family and my brothers were in Bethel with him etc, late 80s/early 90s. He gave me his card...

  my sister-in-law has recently gone back to the org :-(.

  she has been wearing trousers (pants to us members ) now she has been told to expect a shepherding call from one of the elders about her style of dress!.

  has anyone any good ideas or even scriptural comments that she could use.. .

  Even on the cusp of the knee gets you a marking talk... *sat in front row of congregation photo with said skirt that of course rose a couple of cm when I crossed my legs so that some knee was exposed*.

  Also, thrown into that talk was comment about showing cleavage, of which at the time I had none and, while wasn't sensitive about my flat chest, made my kind of want to burst into hysterical tears about them damaging my self esteem as a woman, to see what they would do. LOL.

  my math background is embarassing.

  my public education was very sad.

  although i received good grades in college track math courses, i never understood the underlying ideas or motivations.

  Girls can't do math or science is the biggest load of hogwash I ever heard.

  I'm a girl, doing a Med Science degree, High Distinction in Physics and on the way to one in Statistics. Currently on a D average, aiming for a HD average next semester in Math-Algebra, Chem, Physics and Bio.

  I was lucky to have a great high school math teacher who taught us to appreciate the beauty in it.
