  Does being a JW make a person physically sick?

  by Gill in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  definitely mentally and more than likely physically.. i have read on a few posts and freeminds about an increase of mental illness amoungst jws of between 2 and 40 % and it seems understandable considering the amount of stress being in the borg puts on people.. but what about physically?.

  what are your experiences since leaving the borg?.

  do you feel well and fitter than ever before?.

  Ill health is also one of the few "legitimate" reasons for not going to meetings or preaching. Is the ill health among a lot of JWs psychosomatic?

  Question for Christians and ex-JW: How is salvation attained?

  by Check_Your_Premises in

  i am a rather newly minted christian.

  i have been exposed to many different beliefs besides the jw, but i tend to take more of a "mere christianity" view of salvation.. here is a summary of that view.. i believe there is a god, evidenced by an innate natural law that most understand, aspire to, and expect from others.

  laws require a lawgiver.

  Hello YouraCatholic

  This site is predominantly ex or anti JW. You're singing to the choir (well, half of it).

  A question for my UK cousins: What are the different British accents?

  since i have so many brits and uk types in one place, i was wondering if you all could classify or tell me the names of the different british accents.

  i think most in the states could be grouped by region and then each region divided into regular folks and folks with cash.

  for instance in thestates, you basically have north east which is can be characterized by your classic new york or boston accents.

  It was the Good Life here and you're right, it's a classic. Barbara was rear-of-the-year if I recall correctly. Wierdly the two couples are just like my brothers and their wives.

  You mean Spud? They should have all had Edinburgh accents and while there was some evidence of it, they weren't too precise. The Mother Superior (drug dealer) had a Glaswegian accent, as did Begbie and Renton's girlfriend.

  You may like to know that Trainspotting is set in the territory of my old congregation and yes it is a drug and aids addled community.

  I believe tij is hanging out with the neds on the street, drinking irn bru (which he possibly calls 'ginger').

  You're lucky that you have a Perthman that can talk. Some of them haven't mastered upright walking yet.

  You defend him 'cos he carries a stanley in one pocket and a needle in the other and he's out of his skull on a buckie/smack combo and he'll give you one of his kisses if you don't.

  Isn't you boyfriend from here?

  The Kinsey scale of sexuality (hetero 1 to homo 6) is a recurring theme between tijkmo and me. It's English and it's from the States.

  And the reason I say he sounds rough is because there's a good natured rivalry between our cities.

  These famous people don't have regional accents.

  Crumpet, what do you mean, he sounds as rough as f*ck! (apart from when he's a kinsey 4 mood)
