hey all, .
so i recently posted for the first time and introduced myself.. i have been spending time reading various posts.
some informative, some not so much.. since i've been reading on here, i've read a lot from atheists.
Sevan,
I also studied Chemistry at university and am a qualified chemical analyst.
I also believe in a creator. I have found support on this site from both believers and atheists.
cofty, you have personally attacked me by calling me dishonest when your claims of this were unsubstantiated. You refuse to accept we have different conclusions. Attacking people is subjective. If someone feels attacked by you. You attacked them. The rest is semantics.

hey all, .
this is my first post.
i haven't been out in service or to a meeting in over a month.. i realize now that i've been having serious questions for years and many articles and talks have greatly disturbed me over the years.
Welcome Sevan,
Thank you for your story. It's nice to see your husband is supporting you and doesn't mind if you leave.

is physical and emotional abuse taken seriously in jws ?
do they address this form of abuse that their members inflict on others?
.
The religious leaders in WT mishandle domestic violence and other forms of abuse.
Me and my family were victims of domestic violence. I have a YouTube explaining it and a JC meeting with the elders.
If you are interested in hearing what they had to say let me know and I will post it on the thread.

now, the war is over, the weapons were not used and of course have not been found.. how threatening could they be if they did not even use them when being invaded by a massive force (of the countries they hate)?!
perhaps, as many suspect, they didn't use them because they didn't have them?.
now we're being told that we'll have to be patient and give them time to find them.
Baker, Malc,
The 1988 attack of chemical weapons in Iraq. Is not evidence that in 2003 Saddam had chemical weapons to use in the UK and US.
Chilcot reported that nothing was found after troops invaded in 2003.

Malc,
The point is there were no chemical weapons. It was all false Intel. If Blair had investigated it properly he would have known it was false Intel.
You can't just bomb other countries because you think there is a risk of them bombing your country. You need some kind of substantiated evidence to support the risk is likely and real.

I too was against the attack and the British troops being sent to their deaths by Tony Blair.
Chilcot exposed there was no evidence of chemical weapons and Blair acted on the false accusations from MI6
British politicians eh?

so some may have read the long and boring post about our last vacation and some of the things that my wife came to tell me during our time away.
i am adding the link here but i can summarize it for time's sake.. https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5768475763015680/vacation-time-reality-closing-up-on-my-wife.
in a nutshell, right before we left, we found out of a jw couple we know well.
Great news. She is realising that your relationship is more important than the GB.
keep us informed

there seems to be no current data on this information and there is questions concerning the validation of past data.
apparently there is high rate of mental illness and suicide.
jehovahs witnesses suicide rate 5 to 10 times above average.
Welcome to the board. Are you a JW? Are you depressed?
Some of the threads here may help you through some struggles you may have.
Welcome again
Kate xx
