  Do you know of any "baptized" JW's that committed suicide or attempted?

  i remember one of my childhood friends was found dead and the police said he committed suicide.

  i just could not believe it because my friend was a "devout" jw almost franatical about it.

  now years later since i have seen both sides of the coin i am beginning to wonder if my friend did indeed kill himself.

  Did You Ever Enjoy Going To Assemblies and Conventions??

  every january, they read the letter as to where you'll be "assigned" for the convention and then the our kingdom ministry will detail all the do's and don'ts to remember.

  was going to these things ever enjoyable to you?

  sometimes we enjoyed going.....but it was like you felt you had to go or else.

  we felt that much pressure to go that we would have to sell things we had to get money to go. hardly had any money for spending and stuff. one assemblie we went to, when we got there we even had to borrow money off my own brother.

  no one knows the things we did just to get to an assemblie just to save face. if you werent rich or were not well to do people we got looked down on. i will never forget that.

  they say ..."as long as you are serving jehovah thats all that matters".....yeah right. what thanks did we get for selling our goods just to go to an assemblie, no thanks at all. what blessings did we get ...none.

  it makes me cringe everytime i think about it.

  take down the tree and if the elders ask about a tree, say you havent got one or never had one.

  lie to them like they lie to you

  you hear of people saying, "i admire jws for their zeal".

  i wonder whether the witnesses' zeal is all that admirable.

  al-qaida's got a lot of zeal too......

  the details of who to send a gift to will be getting pm'd to you all either friday afternoon or saturday morning!

  according to the information i've found online the last posting day for standard parcels is dec 11th for usa and december 15th for the uk/europe, so you should all have plenty of time to select and send a gift, although sending sooner rather than later is prefered.

  can everyone taking part post on this thread what things they like, what their interests are etc so that the person who is buying a gift for you has some idea what to get you.
