Can JW beliefs contribute to suicide?
by TD init may sound like a strange question, but aspects of jw behavior that are incomprehensible to outsiders actually make a morbid kind of sense when viewed through the lens of jw doctrine.
for example, about 10-12 years ago there was a single mother in my wifes congregation.
during the course of conversation, she learned that my wifes grandmother had recently passed away.

When I was DF'd... briefly
by Cygnus inwhen generously given the opportunity to go before three men who, for the community of persons i grew up with and shared with, even owed my life to, would judge me as a wicked hater of righteousness, i got a word in, and maybe some day that word will be remembered, or could be of use to someone.. many of you know my story.
i'm not going into the whole thing here.
i will say, i quit the jws in 6/97 and the elders finally df'd me in 4/00.

If you want to help with hurricane relief, just put it in the regular box
by atypical inwas anyone else there to hear the letter about this?
a few weeks ago, right after the new orleans disaster, a letter from the society was read which said that if we wanted to contribute to the relief effort, we should put the money in the regular wordwide work box.
it said that the society would apportion the appropriate amount for relief.. the letter then went on to relate how a bunch of families were saved because they were out of town at assembly, and how the brothers were going through the superdome with a watchtower in their pocket to pick out witnesses and take them somewhere better.. that letter blew me away and left me shaking my head.
