so the rc really sucked, but i made it through.

the propaganda was mind blowing.

i don't know if the crap will be available on the official website or not, but hopefully it gets leaked somehow.

DD, a lot of what you choose to do depends on your basic level of anxiety in your daily life. do you feel that you need help in this time of crisis? I agree you probably ly do need to learn new coping skills, we all do. IF you need it, medication WILL help you to copem it's not a crutch, just an assistance for you.

Your wife has just been totally manipulated, and is terrified that she will loose you, don't forget the vague feelings of disdain in the jw for those with an unbelieving mate.?? she's under UNBELIEVABLE pressure, as are you....

good luck with whatever you do, but make sure you look after yourself....

An Unsettling Experience

by snowbird in

in the year 2011, i was very ill with severe anxiety and panic attacks.. my psychiatrist prescribed two potent anti-depressants.. one day, when i was all alone, i heard a distinct voice say, "there are knives in the kitchen - small, medium, and large ...".

the voice trailed off, but the meaning was clear: use one of those knives on yourself!.

my niece in atlanta reported a similar experience when she was prescribed the same anti-depressants following a stillborn delivery.. i'm curious.. has anyone else experienced something like this?.

if you are very ill, you need medication. don't let the fact that you have had a bad reaction stop you from finding the right ones for you. it's just a matter of trial and error, but mental illness needs as much medical intervention as a physical illness, or more... good luck to you, when you are at your worst you tend to feel you will never pull through but you do......

Are Christians more or less likely to be in favour of stronger gun control than atheists?

i have no agenda with this post, if anything i am suspecting the results will be against what i would want to hear as a christian.

however im asking the question as i am curious as to the results.

my personal position is in favour of a total ban but i do live in the united kingdom, however many of my friends live in the states.

I am an athiest.

Noone needs a gun..

Why do Christian nations think they can assimilate Muslims into their communities , does Islam attempt to assimilate Christians in their communities ?

by smiddy in

islam /muslims today are what christianity was centuries ago , the two beleif systems are like oil and water , not to be mixed .

christians are not tolerated spreading their infectious disease amongst muslims, in islamic countrys , and harsh penalties apply for them doing so in muslim countries , including the death penalty.

stonings , whippings etc.. on the other hand christian nations are very tolerant of muslim extremists who incite hatred and violence on their own territory , and they get a slap on the wrist and say dont do it again .

im not a Muslim apologist, but I spend a lot of time with a lot of Muslim women. I would be dishonouring them if I were to listen to lies and remain silent, would I not?

Its the same when people used to send me those hateful emails ,In the end I asked them how could I expect my friends to respect me if I did not respect them.

JW refuses to provide wedding stationery to Gay couple

by KateWild in

i was outraged at this and had to post it.. http://jehovahswitnessreport.com/blog/jw-refuses-to-provide-wedding-stationery-to-gay-couple.

i think she is a hypocrite and i bet she sells her invites to fornicators, or does she ask them if they are having sex before marrige, before she takes their money?.

i was never like this when i was a jw, it's even more disturbing that she is going to ask her elders what to do.

Mikado

reading this thread, the narrow mindedness and judgemental nature of some posters is shocking.

i keep trying to remember when I choose to be straight or my gender.

People,are what they are, her behaviour was disgraceful, but it's what I would have expected a good jw to do.

GOD I AM LUCKY TO HAVE ESCAPED..

Village girl, you have NO idea how rude you are actually being. Threatening someone with an honour killing is an outrageous thing to say.

The women I work wit's are NOT seen as. possessions, they are independent and run their own businesses.

They run for parliament.

they don't wear the scarf.

They are single women who own dogs..

they are no more controlled than women in any other society.

Why are you unable to see that Pakistan etc has many other cultural issues that have become bound up with Islam, so how can you so cavalierly discarded so many others lived experiences of Islam.

It sort of makes me wonder if you actually made many friends in whatever Muslim country you lived in, NONE of the women I work with live those sorts of lives, NONE of them do
