  Talespin, I didn't mean to upset you. It's just that my own daughter went through a period of deep depression and I tried everything to help her..It broke my heart to see her like that and I felt totally helpless. I feel deeply that it has to come from within a person to want to live..no one can really help someone that feels that way. The JW's teach us to look on the gloomy side of everything I think and we have to break the pattern. I like this saying:

  "Life isn't about how to survive the storm but how to dance in the rain." (In your case even if it is just on one foot )

  Big hug and glad you are feeling a little better..

  WTS Controlling Tactics Similar to Phillip Garrido's on Jaycee Dugard ........

  by flipper in

  ........ and of course, that should come as no big surprise considering phillip and nancy garrido were jehovah's witnesses either before, or quite possibly at the time they abducted & kidnapped jaycee and stole her life away for 18 years.

  i will share some excerpts from jaycee dugard's new book " a stolen life " and see if you also identify similar mind control tactics garrido used on jaycee that the wt society uses on 7 million members.. notice this quote from jaycee about schools and education , " i, however, have mixed feelings about high school.

  on the one hand, for eighteen years i had been taught ( by garrido ) that schools are bad and kids learn bad things there and peer pressure can ruin a child's life forever ; but when i consider who i heard all this stuff from, a kidnapper, rapist, pedophile, narcissistic, pervert, i can only come to one conclusion.

  I always have mixed emotions when I read a post like this one. My hubby died in 2003 of Cancer..he would gladly change places with anyone that would like to just "end it all". but he had no choice. He appreciated life..he was always thinking of new things to do or places to go. I feel so sorry for anyone that can't feel that. The ones that just sit back and say woe is me. Life must be horribly challanging or boring for them. Or maybe just too painful? And yet I knew cancer victims that went through so much pain and sickness just to try and survive..I don't know. There is just so much life out there, you just have to go look for it. Hubby would have.

  I am so sorry you can't /don't want to experience that kind of life..I have been depressed before but never to the point I wished it was all over..I feel sorry for anyone that feels that way. They are missing out on so much..so very much!

  I hope you have better days in the future. Someone once said life is what you make it..sometimes I wonder if that is true..makes sense to me.

  Hugs..Snoozy

  Good poiint metafron..

  My thought is it is a good time to buy real estate..bad time to sell. Someday their property may be worth a fortune if the economy turns around..

  It's all about the money!..

  They know something.

  Alienation of affection?

  by Snoozy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i wonder if the jw's leaders can be sued when they disfellowship someone in a family and then the family shuns them?

  after all the jw leaders are the sole cause of a loved one getting the shaft from their family members..right?...

  isn't that what "alienation of affection means?

  I guess with all tlhe immorality going on today they had to do away with it..the courts would be filled with angry wives/husbands that had been cheated on.

  It just sounds so good to use in the case of shunning..

  Interracial Marriage

  by Quendi in

  2. beliefs

  here is a question i want to pose because i do not know the correct answer.

  i have seen many interracial married couples among jehovah's witnesses--moreso than i have seen in other religions.

  however, i have been told that once upon a time, interracial marriage was frowned upon by the wts hierarchy.

  When we had the teens over to our house for fun, a few of them black, we were later taken aside and told that we can associate with them at the hall but not in public as it may stumble someone..

  We continued to associate with them anyway. It didn't help when one of the black teen boys got a while teen girl pregnant..

  Since she was a elders daughter neither got disfellowshipped just marked so to speak..

  "Alienation of affection"=
  At common law, alienation of affections is a tort action brought by a deserted spouse against a third party alleged to be responsible for the failure of the marriage. The defendant in an alienation of affections suit is typically an adulterous spouse's lover, although family members, counselors and therapists or clergy members who have advised a spouse to seek divorce have also been sued for alienation of affections.

  I see it all the time on facebook..one constantlay talks about all the wonderful booze drinks they had and the hangovers..and another is constantly walking down memory lane about her high school dances, teen music..and other worldly comments..then she will later post a scripture about how wonderful Jehovah is..

  Being a catty female, I have the urge to "tattle" on them..

  The only people that I know today that use the word is the JW's. And they aren't using it as a compliment..it does offend my senses as i know they are taking it out of it's true meaning as I see it...

  To me It simply means to leave a religion. They act like you are turning your back on God and his people which it isn't the case. It is the religion/beliefs they teach.
