  Hmmm- you can look in the yellow pages under mental health or counseling.. call them and ask if they have a sliding scale fee. Some do. Also you can call your local college or University and ask if they have counseling sessions with the post-grad students. A friend of mine saw a woman through the University for $25 a week. She loved her counselor.. and the woman was just credits away from her PHD so she knew her business.

  I have suffered from panic/anxiety disorder and have found meditation and self talk to be the most helpful. I havent taken any medication and have been doing great, but there are those who really need it.

  Please read up on it.. I have found books in the library that have helped wonders.

  Apostate Tours!!!

  by Beans in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  im thinking of a new business venture "the apostate tour company".

  we could visit very symbolic places of interest for the so called "apostates"starting off at the bar we would have a few pints and whisky to consult the spirits with a ceremonial toast.after we get a little wired we would get on the apostate bus and head over to see the grave site of pastor russell and on the way partake in a ceremonial weedfest.upon arriving we would all have our pictures taken beside the cross on the pyramid of this great leader.our next venture would be the headquarters in ny to see where all the little stories are made up and check out all the hot sisters and brothers.we could end our tour at the hotel having a wild party and participate in worldly drinking games while engaging in gross sexual misconduct1.

  Being a JW Kid

  by Scully in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've always felt that the adult jws got off pretty easily compared to jw kids.. for instance: .

  my dad went to work, and didn't bother his co-workers with jw stuff.

  it wasn't allowed.

  ugh April! My heart broke for you not being able to paint that picture...

  I'm sorry for us, and all the other kids that are left out because of their parents religious beliefs.

  Would you believe this year is the first year I let my son celebrate holidays. Last year he didnt, and the poor thing looked very uncomfortable.. but I thought I was saving him from some horrible act. GRRR!!! I try not to beat myself over it though... that was only (thank God) his first year in school and now he is having a blast! He thanks me every day for letting him participate in holidays. Sweet kid!

  They Have Left Jehovah's Service

  this is the standard accusation placed on those that were stumbled by the countless failed date settings of the society.

  it happened right after 1914, after 1925, after 1975 and is gradually happening since 1995 after the 1914 generation failed.

  since 1995, every year now on average, there are close to 200,000 that are leaving the society.

  Defender, good post. The analogy of a parent that keeps changing it's word... perfect! I know how frustrating it would be...

  Oh Trotafox.. how right you are!!

  I too well, know the interested scheme. After being shunned for years (never DA or DF, just drifted away).. an elderly sister came running up to me and hugged me! [8>] I was shocked.. she had questions.. 'how are you? are you still married? do you go to any meetings?.. how is your mom (who is DF'd)? I heard she had a boyfriend.. is she still working?' After I gave her a long and informative reply, she said it was getting late and she had to go. Ever since then, she hasnt talked to me! I figured out that it was more of a way to find gossip on my mothers and my own life. I guess the elderly feel more able to do this, since they are so strong, they would never become weak from talking to us! Anyway, they are hoping to get some 'time' in...

  Official Reason Why So Many JW's Bonkers.

  by Englishman in

  i spoke to my jw mum yesterday evening.

  i told her all about george, the jw who has decided to make my pub his watering hole.

  i told her that he was on the verge of being banned for his loudness and his appalling rudeness to the landlady.

  Well I always wondered why there were so many 'nuts' in the JW hall...

  I knew so many people on disability.. and they didnt have a limp, if you get my drift.

  One sister who was mildly retarded with scitz would rock back and forth through the whole meeting.. she made me sea sick!
  And they let her get baptized! She could barely take care of herself and eventually married another retarded man. I guess she messed around with him before they got married and was Privately Reproved, or something of that nature. I cant believe it.. she could barely dress herself!

  Beans, good points.

  That made me think of my own little scenario..

  Lets say the WTBTS decided saying 'Good morning' was wrong. They announce that saying 'Good Morning' is actually a form of predicting the future.. since we havent actually gone through the whole morning, and therefore dont know if it will be 'good'. They say that after careful examination of the Scriptures and New Light, saying GOOD MORNING, GOOD NIGHT OR GOOD BYE is unscriptural. How many Witnesses can you see reading this saying, 'oh it makes perfect sense!'

  I can imagine it... I'm surprised they havent come up with it yet!

  It just goes to show.. they believe it is the absolute TRUTH, and nothing, no nothing, you say can change that! If the GB ran outside of Bethel naked and streaked through New York, the Witnesses would say something about they were trying to bring attention to God's Word. There is no reasoning with them. There is a book called Reasoning with the Scriptures. How about Reasoning with the Witnesses!

  you: so ... (question question question)

  JW: I dont know... but if the Society says it, its true!

  you: so.. (question question question)

  JW: oh my Word! Are you reading Apostate stuff? I cant talk any further.... (goes and takes a hot shower with bleach to disinfect the Apostate germs on them)
