Depression while being a JW is a sign that your brain is fed up with constructing an alternate reality.
I think this is true.

Exposing one's identity. When?
by kairos ini've been toying with the idea of just coming out and posting my name and location as an attempt to be available to locals that secretly browse the forum that have known me for up to 25 years.
( "reaching out", so to speak ).
i'm not da'd or df'd, so this most certainly could end in a dramatic confrontation.

I'll think on this for a while. Thanks for the posts, of course.
I've reconnected with five exJWs from my area since my exit.
I can only imagine how many are on the edge/scared to leave. -

It'll be nuts. New scrolls, GB ruling from heaven with helpers on earth to become the channel for true worship. What a loving provision from Jehovah that the wily old serpent and his crowd will be abyssed so true obedience can be rendered day and night, amen.
What could possibly go wrong?

After Armageddon there needs to be a new "future fear" in place to engage mind control.
Satan making a final attack in the last days of that system of things ( the 1000 years ) will be just what is needed.
Did that help?

I was the visiting speaker years ago and for "hospitality" my wife and I were taken to Chinese food for lunch. The family was getting super uncomfortable about the fortune cookies on the table at the end of the meal.
We went right for the cookies and read the fortunes to each other. ( wife and I )
I may have stumbled them... -

If I posted links to this site on utility poles near my old KH, maybe I could "start a study"... Pffffffft!! -

just thinking a big fear is "change".
I left right when all the internet/device stuff started becoming part of their worship. I don't think I could have handled that amount of change.
The change to overlapping generations is what caused me to become Awake!

I think I told that one elder that visited me a while back ( http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/288882/surprise-elder-visit-today ) that if they tried to form a JC on my behalf I would create a local "media circus".
Talk me off the ledge?

JW Cart - Historical Photo - 1
by Esse quam videri inwith all the buzz about the jw public witnessing cart it has escaped the notice of all but the most studious researchers that the wt carts were actually started by pastor charles taze russell.
a careful examination of one of the most famous photographs of the 1906 san fransisco fire, caused by the preceding earthquake, reveals a wt cart.
further investigation brought the researchers attention to bible student sister myrtle jenson, shown on the left of the photograph, and facing away from the camera, looking down sacramento street.

The smurf on the sidewalk is not photoshopped, though...
