Depression & Jehovah's Witnesses
by minimus inis it me or does it seem that nearly all jws go through depression in varying ways??
i'm not talking about what the average person could deal with because of a loss of a loved one or a job termination, etc.
i'm referring to being depressed because you're a jehovah's witness.

Quick question - need some references that I don't have to hand.
by LittleToe ini've just received an email from a non-jw friend who is discussing some issues with a non-internet'ed jw and would like to offer some quotes.. i'm afraid i've lost track of some stuff and haven't time to find them right now.. can anyone help with any part of this?
i'm crap at pulling up links from this site, and i know many of these sujects have been discussed here.wt quotes that say jesus isn't the great crowd's mediatorrandy's citation of the 10/1 or 1/10 1993 wt that encourages witnesses to hate apostatesquotes where the wts said you must be a member to be savedthe threads on the 144,000 doctrine (i can think of at least a couple in the last year)threads regardling doctrine changes, especially regarding the "generation change"a rebuttal to "witnesses are the 1st on every disaster scene and help to rebuild non-witnesses' houses, etc.
anyway, any focus on humanitarian efforts are just like 'polishing the brass on the titanic'".. i've already sent the link to "quotes" site, and am in the middle of answering a number of other questions.. any help would be gratefully received.. thanks in advance..

Special Happy Thanksgiving to those of you without family due to the WTBTS
by confusedjw ini know thinks would be very different for me, if my family wasn't out with me or if i was df'd or if some friends from the hall didn't stay in touch or if i hadn't been able to make other friends.. i know that for some of you, the holiday season stinks because of being in limbo or being df'd and not making new friends yet or other reasons all related to the wtbts.. maybe you are alone without your family.
that is terrible knowing that in general this is a day that family is celebrated.. a huge (((hug))) to you then.
my apologies that life is like that for you this moment and i hope happiness runs you down and overtakes you very soon!.

When you returned to your "WORLDLY" family how were you treated?
by wizedup inwhen we leave the witness "family" we know how inhumanly we're treated.
when some return, there is no rejoicing, clapping or undue expressions of "joy" allowed openly.
the gb wants a period of proving yourself worthy to be back in the "fold".

heritage turkeys making comebackconsumers willing to pay extra for more flavorful breed.
los angeles, california (ap) -- it's a turkey with a proud heritage, so much so that gourmet cooks seem to be flocking to poultry farms this thanksgiving season to buy one.. mary and rick pitman say the phone at their fresno-area farm has hardly stopped ringing since summer.
