Should I just keep my distance?
by wavvy inreading other people's posts, its obvious that those of us who still have contact with our jw family are constantly bombarded with sick propaganda designed to make us feel guilty and scared.
we are all so happy to be out, yet these contacts with our family revive all the bad feelings.. my parents are always calling me to meet up with them for coffee or something.
i don't want them to be a part of this new life of mine because i don't need that kind of crap all the time.

Posted on behalf - ladies, please share your thoughts and comments
by passwordprotected ini am a lifelong jw, a born-in true believer for most of my life.
eventually i had the awakening and have been pulling away from the religion, even though we still attend meetings.
i am willing to keep up appearances if it means saving my relationship with my wife and our close family.

COULD ANYONE SUFFER FROM DEPRESSION .??
by Mr. Majestic inbeing in the organisation for most of my life i have seen so many people suffering with depression.
but a friend of mine recently said that it was impossible for them to suffer from the condition, because of the mental strategies they have in place to cope with hard times, and a mental resilience that they attained from a balanced stable upbringing..... .
could it be true that some people have a natural immunity to such a debilitating mental condition....???.

and eugene d'aquili, m.d.
ph.d. newberg is both a physician and an instructor of religious studies, dr. aquili (now deceased, he died before this book of his research was published) was a distinguished psychiatrist.. the book is about the biological and neurological basis for belief in god.

How I figured JWs were NOT the truth...
by cognac ini remember thinking growing up that i wasn't sure it was the true religion but because my family were so sure of themselves and so many people believed it that i loved and respected it had to of been the truth.. then, i reasoned that because we were the only ones who fulfilled the preaching work that there was no other way any other religion could be the true religion except us.
plus, we used jehovah's name and didn't take it out of the bible but the preaching work was really the main thing that kept me in.... i was always afraid to really study just the bible because i knew a ton of things might not be right.
otherwise, why would so many jws be afraid to run into a greek scholar out in field service.
