Do You Struggle With Depression???
by minimus ini know more persons that are depressed than i know that are not.
whether a person was a witness or not, so many are affected with depression.
i've read here that many jw's were on either regular medication or silently accepted their depression with much prayer and tears.

The new book for children.
by dmouse inmy wife went to the convention yesterday and brought back the new book for children 'learn from the great teacher'.. it's certainly much better than the old pink book, larger and more colourful, even if the pictures have a 1950's feel to them.
the introduction mentions that there are questions throughout the book that you should ask children to find out what is on their mind... saying ' true, the child may come out with with answers that are not correct.
but the printed material that follows each question is designed to help the child to develop wholesome patterns of thinking'.... 'wholesome patterns of thinking' eh?

Apologies for any hurt feelings
by Simon ini know i probably go too far sometimes and can get a little 'determined' on some issues (my wife calls it pig headed & stubborn).
sometimes i am too blunt.
sometimes i won't let things go and want to prove my point.

Explain this to me
by Ariell ini'm new here.. i would like to question those who tend to disagree with jw teachings, but still seem to believe in christianity and refer to god as jehovah.
i always told myself that if i were to ever leave i'd stay out of religion all together, because if this isn't the truth than nothing is.
christianity in today's society is so warped that it's not even funny.

Predictions for New Harry Potter Book.
by searchfothetruth inall you adults out there that are waiting as eagerly as your kids for the new harry potter book, make your predictions now.. like everyone else i know, i started reading the first book to my kids and couldn't put it down.
great books that i wish had been written when i was a kid.. but the books are written with a lot of parallels to other famous stories, like lord of the rings and star wars.. j k rowling was interviewed last night on bbc and discussed some of the things in the book, but the main thing was, is that she has killed off one of the main characters.
my guess is...albus dumbledore ( obi wan kenobi ) harry's mentor.. what do you think?
