  it's been 12 years since i first read ray franz's books and the scales came off my eyes.

  by that time i was in my forties.. since 2002 i went back to school and have worked with 3 very professional organizations.

  but my biological clock is ticking away and while my peers are looking forward to retirement, i am only beginning.

  It's been 12 years since I first read Ray Franz's books and the scales came off my eyes. By that time I was in my forties.

  Since 2002 I went back to school and have worked with 3 very professional organizations. But my biological clock is ticking away and while my peers are looking forward to retirement, I am only beginning. I still feel an overwhelming sadness when I reflect on the wasted years.

  The best years where I could have explored and developed my talents and creativity were spent in slavery to the watchtower. While my catholic cousins were getting degrees in school and climing the latter of success, I was trudging from door to door. Twenty years of pioneering. Twenty years I will never get back.

  I know that ruminating on the past is highly toxic and ineffective- but the sadness surfaces every once in a while.

  Thanks for listening

  this is my third year since i signed up on jwn and i wanted to do something a bit different--a slight unmasking of sorts and greet everyone face to face.

  even with the help of a few notes, this is rambling, raw, and by no means the best personal experience video out there.

  Mental Disorders among JW's

  by Blackfalcon98 in

  hi everyone, im begining to notice patterns of mental issues in the congregations and among the witnesses as a group.

  do you think this is a trend in the entire world or is it exagerated in this organization?.

  There are many in the congregation that suffer from extreme anxiety and major depressive disorders. I blame the fact that going to a mental health professional was always looked down on. The only remedy for witnesses is to study and pray more. Unfortunately the two cannot replace medication and psycotherapy.

  I recently heard that half the sisters in bethel are on some sort of SSRI.

  Everyone asked to take their literature back to the KH?

  by MrMonroe in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  may be bullshit or just confusion, but here's a post at a facebook ex-jw page:.

  "so last night i performed one of my occasional meeting attendances, and whilst watching the kids and planning my exit strategy in the event of a walking dead style zombie outbreak, i think i heard them read a letter saying that the brothers are now to destroy all old literature in their possession if it's in bad condition, or return it to the elders if it's in good condition, but you can no longer keep any old literature... hmmm".

  anyone know anything about this letter?

  Watchtower encouraging members to go and preach in Israel

  an odd letter was read at last nights' meeting.

  it was in regards to a special campaign for next year arranged by the governing body to go and preach in israel.

  the call is going out to anybody that speaks hebrew and english.

  Sometimes I wonder if this a way of making some modern day martyrs so the governing body can cry "persecution"
