Zid, "

But mentally they're still back in the 1950's....

They still don't know how many JWs suffer from depression, one shepherding call with a very depressed sister.

Brother (Pseudo Shrink) told this sister who was suffering badly with her high point of hypomania "Just think about something else, don't think about the bad things in your life! Read the Bible and pray more, brother told others he was a self-made shrink! She told me later she had sat by some cliffs after our visit thinking about driving off the cliffs into a lake. Brother Shrink was so proud of his advice, he jokes saying "I should send her a bill, how much do shrinks make, "$300-$500 a hour depending on how good and rich your client base is!" That would work!

Back to hypomania's high points, it's when the brain goes into a repetitive thought mode, the person experiencing this eurphoric state just craves someone to talk to, even if this means "hooking up with a stranger at a bar for sex, it's not the sex they desire, it's the companionship to sit back and talk all night with anyone, just to get their thoughts into the air. Silence drives suffers crazy, they need their medications and a listening ear (counseling, a good friend who can sit back and listen for hours of weird thoughts)

SmithMandy defection (alleged) what could have prevented this?

by notjustyet in

i woke up this morning to a few post trying to get the moderators attention to take care of a few post by user smithmandy.. so like a user will do, they start looking for these post to see what is going on.

i was not able to see these post as they had already been edited by the mods.. i've also thought that possibly smithmandy had set their account to autologin and a fmaily member found the site and posted the content.

i was not able to see it so do not know if there was more content that would show something else.

She started going off on my thread I posted about the United Nations and the Governing Body's involvement, that was the start of her rampage last night. People have a change of heart, I thought i would never come back to JWN until I had heard some of the local gossip about my daughters wearing improper clothing, and insinuation they were of "loose morals", this coming from a elder whose son kept his position after partying down with a band known for getting drunk and smoking the big bongs!

SmithMandy will be back, a intervention might have drawn her back into the "loving brotherhood", once they ignore her again she will be back.

My last dog was one I used for pig hunting in Wine Properties needing help, Dogo Argentino is great with kids and they will fight to the death to protect their master.

This is dog is close to my former dogo, they work great in pairs hunting down wild pigs (sorry if this subject offends anyone, but the pigs tear up the wine groves, and my dogs were rewarded to remove the destructive pigs) They are breed from the Mastiff , i found the best watch dogs were airedales, black labs and siamese cats!

My dogos were geared out with leather and collars of steel to protect them as best as possible. They are breed to hunt, the best breeders of Dogos are out of Texas, I spent a mint during my hunting phase of life.

Who Was Stumbled By Wicked Congregation Participants? From Overseers To Rank-File.

ok, a thread began with members who found their way out by "company literature" or "apostate literature", but what about thoughtless to evil actions by happy and humble witnesses?.

were most members caring, compassionate and lovings (john 13:33-35), which made coming to jwn diffucult, or did their conduct push you to seek anwsers here?

i had a traveling overseer tell me, "i am so happy you are enduring the wicked actions lodged against you, keep up the good work!

A-Watcher: How would you feel if you were sexually molested by one of the "holy ones or glorious princes who worked at HQ", the princes set to rule over the New World?

What kind of Organization would tell you "we can't do anything about this brother because we took care of matters already, to dig up this case would not be good for the Kingdom Hall or Circuit? Why can't you allow yourself to be wronged? If you insist on attacking this brother, realize our hands are tied due to "double jeopardy", we punished this brother with private reproof, the elder body voted to keep him on as COBE, why do you insist on pushing so hard? The Circuit benefits from his hard work, please leave this one alone!" Brother pedophile removed my brother from his position of elder, he accused my brother of gambling and gossiping against the Organization, my big brother sent an OP Ed to the newspaper to expose the mishandling of several cases locally, but recanted after the Body threatened him with a quick df'ing, so he told the newspaper, "I retract my letter to the editor"

Why would a victim like Candance Conttii, victims Barbara Anderson and Silent Lambs be stumbled by wicked men? I said nothing about losing my relationship with Jehovah God and Jesus Christ, I said I was stumbled by the mishandling, hiding of sins (Eli hid his sons sins and lost Jehovah's favor) and backroom deals I witnessed take place. With a certainty, I do confess Jehovah is not allowing men to mock his name, I believe a great cleansing (if he decides to continue to use this vechile) will remove some of the deeply entrenched men pleasing members.

If you want to be cynical, you could use the facts that most people who are thinking about suicide don't feel their thoughts are irrational. The pain they are suffering is real, and downplaying their thoughts as irrational is not the right approach. Job was not irrational by any means, his sharp remarks with deep insights into the humanity of his time, are by no means irrational. We need to accept that life can be ugly at times, and I myself have wondered what it would be like during my low points, if the world would be better off. I did not share these thoughts during my happy period of elderhood, I was too busy helping others to worry about my life as I allowed my family to dwindle spiritually at the expense of "users".

I had a chance to discuss Job's remarks with a frequent graduate from Moody's Bible School, the area we both agreed with about the Book Of Job, is how smart Job was, how well he handled losing everything that mattered, and we both concluded Job was not insane or irrational!

Do-Overs...What if you could have just one....What would it be? Why?

as we grow older and have more life experience we have an advantage in looking at our life as a whole.. we can see things from more than one perspective.

we can be wiser as our emotions cool.

hindsight gives us the power to judge outcomes.. for example, i was thinking about a 20 year chunk of my life.

Great question, I think I would have stayed a student for fifteen years getting two phDs or something.
