my brother, a long time witness who has been disfellowshipped, shunned and treated like shit by the witnesses for the 10 yrs has been committed to a phsyciatric wing of our local hospital.
he has been having delusions saying he has been chosen by jehovah and will be taken up by the archangels in to heaven.
he has also been hearing voices of demons and and blames satan for being responsible for all the troubles he has had in that past 5 yrs or so.
Thanks everyone for the kind words and the advice, it is much appreciated. I will be visiting him this evening and I will have more info on his condition. I will update this thread if anyone is interested.
Cold Red Rain: I will PM you as soon as I know how he is doing. Possibly this evening. Your advice would certainly prove valuable.
Thanks again everyone!

My brother, a long time witness who has been disfellowshipped, shunned and treated like shit by the witnesses for the 10 yrs has been committed to a phsyciatric wing of our local hospital. He has been having delusions saying he has been chosen by Jehovah and will be taken up by the archangels in to heaven. He has also been hearing voices of demons and and blames Satan for being responsible for all the troubles he has had in that past 5 yrs or so. He hasn't been able to hold down a job because he says that Satan has spoken to the people responsible for his employment and he has told them to fire him from his job because he believed in Jehovah. What can I do to help him? I have already done a lot to enable him to see that this "cult" has brainwashed him into many of his irrational beliefs and to stay away from them. I feel that those bastards have a lot to do with his feelings of paranoia and also have made him feel worthless. Can anyone give me any advice as to what to say to him when I visit him? I am at a loss and he needs help. Thank you.

i had posted a few times since my awakening asking how best to talk to my wife about my new take on things.
i was very afraid of handilng it poorly and chasing her deeper into the organization.
instead, she basically said, 'i've been feeling the same way!
Fuckin aces buddy! Congrats!! The best move you'll ever make in your whole life!! YAY!!!!!
Kiss those freaks goodbye! This chilled beer I'm drinkin just got a LOT tastier. Thanks Simon. You rock my man!!!!

my old congregation was very stuffy, cold and unfriendly.
it was said that if you bought a bucket of water into the hall, it would be rock solid frozen after the meeting.. our nearest congregations were 8 miles away.. yeah, we'd have visitors.
sure, we'd ahve young people from other halls.
NEVER!! It was frowned upon.
the simpsons are the longest running sitcom in television history.
but who performs the voices on the show?
some are easy, some are difficult and some are obscure.
I would bet my left nut that Dan Castellaneta is the voice of Kang and Kodos. You're talkin' to a Simpsons junkie here.
Great point badboy! If the Borg weren't so petrified of the "modern media" and preached their propaganda via television, radio or the EVIL INTARDNET they would certainly be saving a hell of a lot of forests!
Then again they prolly don't give a flyin' f%#k because we're all gonna die, and they'll have plenty of trees for the 6 million that remain.
.
anyone have any ideas for discreet practical jokes i can commit?
anyone else going to cornwall, ontario this weekend?
Dorothy,
Check your PM's.

there have been posts and topics about the wtbs imploding and feuding factions in bethel etc.
some have said that the end is near for the wtbs.
is this just wishful thinking...or do you really think that this is a reality?
Gary that's about the best summation of the BotchTower I have ever had the pleasure of reading.
Great post!
