In my final years as a JW I was overcome with severe anxiety because I didn't listen to the inner voice telling me to get out of a religion that I knew to be wrong.
I went to see a local Counselor who was a well known JW who had a booming practice treating JW's with anxiety and depression. She made her JW patients sign a document that gave her permission to run to the elders if any information about "unscriptural" activity or actions, was revealed in the course of her counseling.
It's ironic to me, in view of this letter, that JW leaders don't feel a sense of moral or legal obligation to report murder(s) to the authorities yet they want a counselor to (illegally) reveal to the local elders, information that a JW patient divulges during a counseling session.

*WARNING SUICIDE RELATED POST
by Annamouse inbit of background: a couple of years ago i was reproved after i slept with a brother that i was in love with but we were not married.
in fairness, the elders were kind and supportive.
the problem is, i had always been the model witness before that.

My question, if there are any paramedics/A&E workers on here, is why my clothes were cut off me?
As others have said, your clothes were cut off for quick access so that emergency personnel could utilize life support and medical diagnosis equipment. I'm guessing you had a heart monitor and respiratory management equipment attached and were given Naloxone or some other medication depending upon what you O.D'd on. If you'd have had CPR, you'd likely have extreme bruising and a cracked sternum.
The problem is, I had always been the model witness before that. I felt dirty and disgusting, I went into a deep depression and ended up trying to end my life by overdose.
As a "Model Witness" you likely had a lot of unrealistic expectations of yourself and of others and an imbalanced view of yourself and your worth for having been less than perfect. This is because JW's tend to forget that the moral code they follow and refer to as "Gods Law", was meant to be a protection for mankind not a means to catch them out and punish them. They tend to emphasize the punishment and sin aspect rather than the intent of the moral laws they follow.
In fairness, the elders were kind and supportive.
Remember, the people who saved your life, didn't learn those skills just for you. They are there to help millions of others like you who really love life and do want to live but just couldn't see past their current painful situation.
Thankfully you survived and those highly trained individuals were able to help you in a real and tangible way rather than read you a daisy chained set of scriptures to show you the error of your ways and then read your name out in front of a congregation of people and require them to abandon you in your hour of need. That is not at all "kind and supportive" and to think that it is, may be a bit of the left over skewed JW thinking.
Glad all of that is behind you now. Thanks for sharing your experience with us !

Pete zahut that link asks you to login your TV provider and apparently there all USA based providers .
I can click on the link and watch it directly on my laptop by clicking on the video and waiting for the commercials to finish playing https://www.oxygen.com/the-witnesses/season-1/the-watchtower
It's a bit misleading when you download the Ap. on your television, but if you look closely you'll see that it asks you to log in with your TV provider OR it also gives you another option where you can log on with your google or Facebook etc account. by going to their website and entering the code they provide you with.

Coronavirus: Punishment from Jehovah and a sign from Jesus!
by lastmanstanding inthe watchtower has taught for over a century that plague is part of jesus’ sign letting earth know he’s lurkin’.... combined with the recent acceleration by the chinese gubmint of ejecting jws from china, it’s no surprise that dubs are of the belief that ‘jehovah is punishing china’.. dubs must be expecting a few large earthquakes to strike china in the next weeks with possibly a war or two, to round out the pain of jesus’ sign to these wicked jehovah haters..

How Many Here Remember Hearing Details from the Platform on Why a Person was Reproved or DF'd ???
by RubaDub ini just had this flashback when commenting on another thread about how they used to announce reproof or dfing from the platform.
at least in our congregation, it was a dramatic event (this is what i can remember from back in the mid-late 60's or early 70's when i was a kid).. at the end of the service meeting, just before singing the final song, the brother would announce, "we have a letter that must be read.
the "congregation servant" (my grandfather or later my father) would then slowly walk from the back of the kh to the platform.

I remember as a kid they used to say what the offense was then later they started saying that "so and so" was df'd for acts unbecoming of a Christian and is no longer considered a good associate.
Everyone in the congregation eventually found out what the details were because let's face it....the power of the Holy Spirit is limited to how scrupulous the Elders on the Committee (and their Wives) are, and whether their giant book bags have locks on them.

Why do TV networks keep "bleeping" out Trumps comments and statement?
by RubaDub ini don't understand it.
we have a president who is typically considered a model for what young people want to be when they grow up.
yet, when trump talks, the tv networks keep bleeping out so many of his words, even on fox news.. why?

I never got the impression from anyone that D.T is considered a role model for young people and I've also never heard him "bleeped"out. If he actually is considered a role model (horrors) and he actually is using foul language, then it makes sense that they don't want "young people" hearing this from their so called "role model".
I've seen certain tabloid news broadcasts where they "bleep" out what a celebrity is saying even when you can read their lips and tell that they weren't using foul language. This is something they do for effect when they've got noting else to sensationalize the story with.
