I think you're using drugs, alcohol, and lots of sex to drown out all of the monotony of JW life. It's so boring and repetitive that you do some "hard living" just to feel alive.

If you stay away from the meetings long enough, guess what will happen? You'll find that you will no longer need to "self-medicate" in the ways you described; you won't have to any longer - you'll be out of your depressive fog.

Best of luck to you.

Hello:

I just wanted to write and offer you my condolences and to welcome you. I am 31, also born into this religion/cult. Both of my JW parents have passed away.

I want to offer you this thought, since you seem to be suffering from depression related to your father's suicide.

Did you even consider that the JW Religion drove your father to suicide, and NOT YOU??? Being a JW is a constant guilt trip, you can never do enough, be at enough meetings, be in field service enough, be perfect enough, be spiritual enough, etc. It wears people down and the burn up all of the time. My JW mother was a nurse for many decades. She worked in the psych ward for 10 of those years. Guess which members of a specific religious group she saw the most in there? Yep - JW's!!! She couldn't obviously tell me their names, but she sure told me when some of them were in the nut house, for a myriad of reasons...usually depression, psychosis, schizophrenia, alcohol and/or drug abuse, violent spouses, etc, etc. It was incredible. So you see, they can spout off that they are, "The Happiest People on Earth" all they want, but it doesn't make it so. They are most likely the most depressed and/or suicidal people on earth.

Just look at how they changed these lyrics in the new song book

by WingCommander in

jw
friends

this is disgusting!!!

we've all heard that the new song book is really, really, really bad......but i didn't see many examples cited of just how they changed some of the wording.

oh sure, we all know by now how incredibly hard it is to sing along with the garbage they wrote, tempo, lack of beat, odd rythm, timing, etc, etc.

Oh sure, we all know by now how incredibly hard it is to sing along with the garbage they wrote, tempo, lack of beat, odd rythm, timing, etc, etc. But I hadn't read some of the changes. Well here are a few examples, courtesy of "Designer Stubble" over on Ronnie's site.

Song 51/11: Making Jehovah’s Glad

Old Book (Song 51):
2. May we from your side never move;
A liar the Tempter we would prove.
Your principles and laws so right
We would make daily our delight.

New Book (Song 11):
2. Your slave, your steward here on earth,
Proclaims your greatness and your worth,
Feeds us with nourishment when due,
Thus strengthens us your will to do.

Song 174/43: Stay Awake, Stand Firm, Grow Mighty

Old book, second verse:
In his place each one be heeding, what Christ Jesus has to say"
New book, second verse:
Stay alert to Christ's direction, Through his faithful slave today, heed the counsel of the older men" ^^^^^^^^^^ I am disgusted beyond belief at this outright man-worship that they have injected into the song book. There is no way I could be a JW today and swallow this tripe!!!! No - freakin - way!!!!! Imagine coming from a large so-called "Worldly Christendom Church" where they sing with feeling and the songs are accompanied by real organs, pianos, brass instruments, etc.....and then stepping into a Kingdom Hall and hearing this canned crap??? Add on top of that a helping over praising the "Governing Body" in an opening prayer and I'll bet some people leave before the public talk even starts. Disgusting!!! Who put these old geezers in Jesus' place? Unbelievable!!! - Wing Commander

Classic summary for this entire talk:

"The bottom line is; "Brothers, make do with less, because WE need YOUR money!!!"

Just classic. I'd love to be sitting at an assembly, next to a bunch of JW (especially late teens, early 20's) and write this real large on a blank sheet of a tablet. Underline it, then just leave it on my lap. Bet that would get them to think.

How to prepare for a JC defense

by brotherdan in

many of you have heard this recording, but i wanted to post it again for some of you (bottleofwater) that will possibily be in jc's soon.

rick townsend does an excellent job (imo) of attempting to defend his position to the elders.

in nearly every category his arguments are stronger.. it is a bit frustrating to listen to because of the elders lack of reasoning ability, but rick is amazing.

Do you believe that this is Jehovah God's Organization, and do you believe He uses the GB as his one-true appointed channel on earth?

If Satan is controlling the "traveling merchants of the world", then why do JW's emmulate said merchants by dressing like Wall Street moguls? Isn't that looking like you are "part of the world" or giving honour and praise and condoning their actions?

Things that make you go, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm............

ELDERS want to meet with me?

by Smoky in

its been about 5 years since i've talked to the elders in the my old congregation.

now the elders from my parents congregation, want to come by and talk with me (sheperding call?).

i know one of them, i believe they feel obligated since i llive in there territory.

WingCommander

5 years since your last meeting and/or Elder visit, and now they wanna chat?? They must have found out about some sort of "brazen conduct" on your part. Haha.

1.) Ask them where they've been the last 5 years

and before they can give you an answer...............

2.) .................state that you know where they are and that you'll let them know when you'd like a visit from them. **CLICK**

.........Elder sits stunned in his house with phone in his hand. So much for his delusion of being a "Prince among men."
