How honest should I be with a JW on Facebook?
by Quillsky inso this woman that i grew up with has sent me a friend request on facebook.
we've done a bit of back and forth "how are you" chat but i haven't accepted her request.. i can see she is still a jw because she belongs to some no-blood facebook group.. i do not want to be her friend on facebook.
i consider witnesses to be bad association and i severely limit the number of jw's i have on my facebook - only close family and people that i share close history with.. so what should i say to this woman?

Somebody got into my computer
by Bonnie_Clyde ini was typing a "word" document the night before last, and a very strange thing happened.
as i was typing, i glanced up to the top of the document and somebody must have been typing words.
a whole bunch of words were appearing that didn't even make any sense.

metal health problems in the organisation
by looloo infor "the happiest people on earth" i found so many folk in the cong had depression or suffered with "nerves and axiety" there was one lad who was due to go and "work" in bethel and changed his mind at the last minute and spent nearly all his time on his computer in his bedroom from then on (he must of been on this site !he apparently "went schitsophrenic(dont know how to spell it sorry ) as did his sister and his poor mum was probably the most dedicated dub in the cong but was considered as a bit "bonkers" by all in the cong .
there were 3 elders i know of who had depression and many rank and file , i must admit it did make me question how "happy "being a dub would make me when i was a study and voiced my concerns i was told satan was trying to get them out the truth so they were depressesed or some rubbish like that , but i was also told that people who leave the truth are depressed because they dont have the truth !
you cant have it both ways !

....cure the sick in my name.
by xbro inas i have mentioned before i now attend church and enjoy it very much,its the church of england and its very easy going,my wife attends the local comunity church which is pretty much born again christians and is doing the alpha course.
a couple of months ago the wife shot her finger with a catapult and broke the bone clean in two,this was realy hurting her and making her washing up job at the school very difficult,so one of the church members 79 year old dot,did the laying on of hands bit and the finger was cured ie mended!
no more pain or swelling,this has continued till this day,also when we had the car taken we were left with no transport and we live in a very rural location,all the cycling for the wifes work meant her ankles were in pain,big pain as in hobbling about, she went to the alpha course that evening ,dot prayed over her again and streight away could jump up and down and walk with no pain at all!
