How many out here.....
by tazmaniac inhow many out here know a loved one or know of someone who suffers from depression and it is from being in the borg and never feel you are doing enough.
my ex wife would always lapse into a few month state of depression right after a visit from the c/o and getting pounded on about f/s hours or not enough studies or not enough pioneers yadda yadda yadda.
i know with my ex that the constant fear of armageddon and feeling inadequate was a depression trigger ready to be pulled at any instant.

Alternatives to JWism
by gitasatsangha ini know most witnesses leave indivudually, and some, like me, want nothing to do with their theology afterwords, but i am curious, sometimes, why there hasn't been more of a schim or general exedus over much of the more recent stupidity at wtbs.
i was thinking that it was because there was no alternative to the iron grip of the gb, for those who believe in the many of the jw things but have no recourse except the authoritative structure, but the bible student groups that did not kowtow to rutherford have been around since the twenties.
i don't know much about them, but i met a few bible students and they were nice.

A Gruesome Tale from the Great White North
by OUTLAW init`s time for a true horror story,heh-heh-heh...i`ve been doing a bit of logging up here and have met some interesting characters..one fellow has been a logger for many years.one man,in one of the crews,in the company he worked for had a terrible accident..this fellow had just found a gi-normus tree the wind had blown down.the tree was laying on it`s side with a mountian of dirt stuck to its root base.there was alot of lumber on this tree,and he was going to cut the tree from the root base so it could be loaded on a truck.the logger made the cut and now it was time for lunch.it started raining,and there was this nice dry spot under the root base of the tree he had just cut.so he sat there and ate his lunch....the end of the day came,and no one could find the logger who had cut this giant tree down.they looked everywhere,nothing.they came back 3 days in a row,they couldn`t find a trace of the logger.finally they realised the only place they hadn`t looked was under the the stump of the great tree he had cut..when they tipped that root base back on it`s side they found the logger crushed to death with his lunch....with no great tree to hold the root base on it`s side,the root base righted itself and killed the logger and totally ruined his lunch,lol!..strange but true
