  Do antidepressants really work? or placibo?

  by boy@crossroads in

  2. medical

  i've posted on freeminds for over a year now but i rarely post on the medical treatment forum.

  i believe i've had depression or some other milder form of depression for many months but i haven't gotten antidepressants for a couple of reasons 1.pride- i feel that taken antidepressants is admittion that i'm weak, 2. fear- i don't have health insurance and i'm afraid of the financial reprocussions of prescriptions and mental healthcare visits.

  3. i'm also afraid that by taking the medication it will have no affect (wasted money) or that i will be worse off after taking them than if i had done nothing.. give me some of your thoughts.

  i'm thinking about going back to the meetings.

  hopefully just sunday meetings for awhile.

  not because i want to or that i feel any inward guilt to return.

  Do You Think Witnesses Deal With Death Properly?

  jws aren't supposed to breakdown in their emotions for it could be a sign that you put too much emphasis on the temporary.

  just focus on the ressurection, for heaven' sake!

  don't mourn like the world that does not have hope!

  Why aren't congregations much bigger in size?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  like that, they wouldn't need so many elders and ms. they would have plenty of brothers to read and pass the mic.. no where in the bible do they mention how big or small a congregation should be.

  if ever one day they have a hard time forming enough ms and elders, wouldn't it be simpler to just make congregations larger?

  old heated paint.

  let me explain.

  a little background........ been fading for more than a year now.

  i think i have done a good job of transitioning out of the borg.

  i am now comfortable with many of the taboos i was raised to fear.
