by moley in

i just recently had my will set up and have decided to leave them some money.

i’ve left instructions to not tell them how much and they must attend the will reading when i die.

i’ve have left them the princely sum of 1 pence.

What Percentage of active JW's are on Anti-Depressants?

by Sea Breeze in

i came across an xjw post on redditt from a rn.

she states that nearly every jw she ever treated was on anti-depressants or anti-psychotic drugs:.

https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/f35vaa/just_about_every_jw_i_come_across_is_on/ i once read somewhere that 1 in 5 jw's were on anti-depressants, but i couldn't find any documentation.

I always thought if I remained a witness, I’d be sitting in a rubber room (psych hospital), heavily medicated, and in a strait jacket. So glad I left!

What Will JW's Do If They Find Themselves Still Conscious after Death?

by Sea Breeze in

we all know that despite many scriptures to the contrary, jw's believe that when they die, their consciousness will cease.

my question is this: what will be the likely reaction of jw's if they find themselves conscious after death?.

Fisherman, I must respond. Ecclesiastes 9:5, says the dead are not conscious. Witnesses use this scripture as a “proof text” to teach their wrong interpretation. My Bible, The Living Bible, has a footnote on that scripture. It says that this statement reflects Solomons discouraged opinion, but IT DOES NOT REFLECT GOD’S TRUTH ON THE MATTER.

Most children of Jehovah's Witnesses followers in Japan have been whipped, survey shows

by Rattigan350 in

https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/03/15/national/jehovahs-witnesses-whipping/.

the most cited reason was “napping or talking during congregations.” others included “answering back to parents” and “playing with a schoolmate.”.

some respondents said they have been suffering depression as a result of whipping.. “i still cannot forget the sight of children screaming after they were taken into a large room at a congregation when i was a child,” a 44-year-old victim said, stressing that jehovah’s witnesses should reflect on what followers have done.. in february, a group of lawyers started supporting those second-generation followers.. in a statement issued on march 1, the japanese branch of jehovah’s witness said it does not accept child abuse.. https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20230315/p2a/00m/0na/006000c.

Elder asks my disfellowshipped cousin to leave house while grieving for his grandmother

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

fourteen years ago i started a thread on how horrible my disfellowshipped cousin was treated after his mom passed away and the terrible actions on the part of the elders at the funeral home.. 67. horrible conduct by congregation elders at my cousin's funeral.............. well, here we are 14 years later, and things haven't changed!.

my aunt ( who is my disfellowshipped cousin's grandmother ) was placed in home hospice care.

the nurse told her daughters ( who are jehovah's witnesses and live with their mother ) that their mom probably has 2 days left to live and that they should call the immediate family.. my disfellowshipped cousin and his sister show up in the early morning.

This elder has lost his humanity. I hope the still in family members wake up, due to his unloving, unchristian behavior.

Apostle Paul said that “to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord”. That is my hope.

Scriptures That Bothered You as a JW Kid.

The scripture in (Corinthians) I think, which talks about holidays, and whether you celebrate them or not, you should be “fully convinced in your own mind.” Lol, my mind told me that Christmas and birthdays should be celebrated if we want to. I knew I was not allowed to ask. 🙄
