the great taboo discussionsuicides among former jehovah's witnesses to write about this discussion neither appeals to me nor does it make me feel comfortable to discuss it.. however, it is necessary to consider in light of all the trauma, negative experiences, and personal traged-.

ies that have happened to individuals on this board.

(what inspired me to write this subject was a bone chilling account .

WELCOME and HUGS and STRENGTH to you, VanillaMocha!!! So happy to have you here.

Touche', JustUs...

"A doctor once told me that the message I send to my loved one (my only child) after attempting to take my own life, was that this is the only solution to life's problems. Not the example I wanted to give."

How true that is. Excellent reminder and great mindset when the mind needs some help.

Being asked for a ride to work:What do you think I should do?

by Midget-Sasquatch in

i've only started into my second week at this new job.

its in another city, but i live in the end of town thats closest to that other city.

from my drive way to the job is less than 25 km.

BabaYaga

THIS IS WHY GOD INVENTED BUSES.

I am personally pretty damned choosy about why I get up earlier than the crack of dawn!!! An unappreciative whoever in my workspace is not one of them. Just the fact that he said "yeah, you'll have to get up earlier" pisses me off. He should NOT take your graciousness for GRANTED which he is doing and YOU should NOT tell him yes.

*whew* I feel better now.

Great news Re:violent abusive jw family

by ania in

i'm ecstatic have received great news regarding my father: 1) it seems the information that he had been approved as a caregiver for barnardos was actualy incorrect he has never worked for them (sorry for that mis-information) .

however he had been working for cypf (newzealand children, young persons and their families service) and did have one boy in his care for more than a year.

2) my post regarding the abuse he inflicted on myself and family here: (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/7/120383/1.ashx) has been noted by the authorities and they now have a copy of this in thier records (under his name) .

BabaYaga

WOAH!!!

Hats off and hugs to you, Ania... because of your strength, others will not suffer.

HOORAY.

Did I miss my opportunity?

by StillGroggy in

im a long time witness but the last district convention with all of it's "don't think for yourself" propoganda led me to this board.

lately i've been trying to formulate a plan, to try and reason with her and get us both out (although her whole family is in, and probably will be till death)

my wife has at times been dissilussioned with the org, but, ironically, i'm usually the one to comfort her and tell her to wait on jehovah.

BabaYaga

WELCOME, Still Groggy! Yes, baby steps, ask questions to get her to answer them and hear them from her own mouth, plant seeds, wait patiently for them to grow. If YOU say something against it she in probability will knee-jerk and defend them. Let her say the things herself... with your loving, patient questions. Sounds promising!! Good luck.

by Atlantis in

jw

don't you wonder who paid for this newspaper article?.

please note the next to the last paragraph.. http://www.panaynews.com.ph/archives/0831/world.htm.

cheers!

BabaYaga

Not much of a question, really, they quote from WT publications

* "For an in-depth discussion of these verses, see chapter 28 of the book Revelation—Its Grand Climax At Hand!, published by Jehovah's Witnesses."

and spout about 144,000...

Hey, Atlantis, look! You just missed this being your 666th post by 2! Is that what inspired you to find this article?
