  Could religious belief be considered a sign of mental illness?

  by nicolaou in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  religious believers clearly have tendencies to make-up "facts" and "evidence" rather than accept true research and admit even the simplest of belief failures.

  they have strange ceremonies that are virtually pointless but are said to have special significance or power.. we all know certain 'christians' alive today who are fully prepared to argue that they might never die!

  couldn't it be argued that such a reversion into childlike fantasy is a telltale sign of mental illness?

  I have seen that faith can promote some ones emotional well being, which might signify good emotional health. But I wonder, deep down, at what cost might it be to others…….. e.g. JW family seems very happy and balanced, but they rejected their son for asking difficult questions. Son is therefore a scapegoat. Their denial costs the son his well being, despite him not being deluded…. Wouldn’t say that is emotional equilibrium despite outward appearances to the contrary…..

  Faith does seem to have very similar characteristics to the denial seen in neurosis. Delusion tends to be a major factor in some religions sense of grandeur. I don’t know if it is a sign of mental illness per say but I would see that the potential of someone exposed to it for a prolonged period could suffer from mental illness, if they didn’t start off with mental illness in the first place. Delusion and denial, in any form, must indicate something that is either very close to, if not, a mental condition…

  Question is, who doesn’t, in some way or form, suffer denial and delusion in some aspect of their perception….??

  Hope is a very diverse concept. What definition are you alluding to……??

  Fewer if any wars.

  Are you kidding me. Don't believe that for a second... Women are far worse when it comes to war. Just get a load together, or watch them when they work together. They could teach men a thing or two.

  So what caused you to have doubts in the first place?

  by nicolaou in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had no doubts at all about the 'truth' untill a friend of mine in the cong' began falling away.

  in trying to help him i had to ask questions and do research and that of course cracked the doors of my mind open for the first time in over thirty years.. years ago, when jwd allowed members to have signatures, i used the following quote from voltaire as mine.

  i still love it.. doubt is uncomfortable, certainty is ridiculous..

  This has been so interesting to read. But at the end of the day we all know that we left because none of us want to do the ministry…….. (Kidding)

  My problems started before I came back. I looked into their interpretation of Daniel, particularly the 1290 days and the 1335 days. Cedar point Ohio……? Mmmm….?? The Generation was hot on my mind as well, just prior to the 1995 change. But I think that it was the lack of love that I saw, the way that people were cast aside just because they were having difficulties.

  The Proclaimers book got me angry as well, the way that it blamed away 1975 as "sifting", and then condemned the people that left at the time when the society got the prophesy wrong. But the nail in the coffin was when my dad (hadn’t been a JW for years at this time) gave me "the harp of god". He found it at an old second hand book store, and thought that I might like to read it. Read it and found out that there had been many "truth’s" before the ones that I now had and that they had the same conviction as the existing ones did. So I started to look into how they changed from one belief to another. And that was it. Totally exposed as false prophets.

  Hi SM,

  Glad that you have seen through them at such an early age. Wish I had. I went back about your age. Big mistake. Never mind…..

  Glad you took the red pill. Question I would like to know is what would happen if you took both the blue and red pills together? Something to think about….

  DID ANY OF YOU actually bring anybody into "the truth" from scratch?

  by journey-on in

  2. beliefs

  in all my years of jwing, i never actually brought anyone up to the stage of baptism.. i had bible studies occasionally, but they usually fizzled out after a while.

  i can't think.

  of more than a small handful of witnesses that ever actually got a study from door-to-door.

  Never brought anybody into the "truth" from scratch.

  Had much more success taking people out. Why is the aposta-ministry soooo much more fun.....!!
