i actually called bethel a few weeks ago and i was shocked that i actually got thru to the writing dept.

i was abit nervous but i asked the jw writer if there was going to be a change in doctrine.

i thought he was going to immediately hang up on me thinking "apostate caller" but he was actually nice and we talked for a while.

hello there i am new to the faith and have been studying for about a month.

i am very excited and hungry for the truth and have not missed a meeting or study since the memorial.

we do about 2 bible studies a week.

You know what I think this is all a social experiment from some college kids or such. She met 3 or so witnesses at the ymca? Of all the

places to say you met witnesses why ymca? Then they had a 'sick relative'. That's pretty convenient for giving yourself sometime to research stuff. And of

course she has apologies to keep the readers engaged. I'm callin it. BS. Watch for more randomly timed comments with great space inbetween them. Seriously

anybody can probably come on here and comment in under a minute. You don't have time? take 1 minute away from your sleep you'll be fine.

She goes on to make this strange comment

"when i "stumbled" across this site i thought it was a "support group" for witnesses"

Why would you be looking for a support group for witnesses if you were just studying? Did a witness beat you up or something?

How to cope with depression?

by make yourself in

i know its very common for jws and ex jws to deal with depression.

maybe it's a side effect of cognitive dissonance or the whole outlook on life being a jw.

but what are some ways to cope with depression?

If you have clinical mental problems getting drugs probably would help(there are multiple drugs so if one doesn't help another might). There are some promising drugless therapies being tried such as magnetics and deep mind stimulation you might want to research.

I don't know how bad your mental condition is but finding out if it's serious or not by talking to a professional might be a good step.

Otherwise. Exercise, cut fast food out, eat healthy and drink water. Make sure you get your electrolytes in with things like ultima replenisher.

Avoid canned food and anything with BPA or similar in things such as canned food, or clear tupperware. The less pollution the better you'll feel although you might feel terrible if you try a juice detox diet which might release too much toxins at once - better to go gradual on that.

Mentally if something is too stressful stop thinking about it. Take time to relax your mind regularly. If exercise is too much at first try stretching and

then work up to exercise. Cardio works good. Avoid stressful and negative people if possible. I hear people who believe in God are happier but

you'll have to look into that yourself.

I am not a doctor these are just things I researched myself.

Regarding the permission of certain blood fractions, what is the biblical basis?

by I_love_Jeff in

with regard to the permission of certain blood fractions, what biblical basis is the watchtower's selection of approved and non-approved components or fractions made?.

two key words here: biblical basis.

one answer by a jw caught my attention: .

runForever

It was very obscure but they do have a reason.. Something like the way blood naturally separates in a centrifuge. The 4 main components supposedly

separate from the rest.

It is hard to find but I read it somewhere.
