Some Civility
by ufo1 init is with some hesitation that i post this as i dont post too often, however i am on here every day and i do read about 95% of all threads.
i also want to say that this is not meant in any way to insult anyone, or to single out any point of view.
the reason i post this is that this site has been and continues to be a great place for helping those of us who have been hurt by the wt, and i dont want that to change.

Are JWs discouraged from seeking mental help?
by Kristina1972 inmy husband was raised in this religion, but was never baptized and does not go to meetings, although my mil is heavily involved.
although my husband doesn't practice his religion, he believes it is the truth and i hate asking him questions, because he is very defensive of the religion.
he and his mother, many years ago before i knew either of them, were treated for severe depression and hospitalized (at different times as a result of them going through divorces.

Favorite Ozzy Guitar Player?
by lepermessiah ini was curious what some of you metal fans thought..... randy rhodes was a legend, but i like jake e. lee and zakk wylde too.. i was just listening to jake e. lee's band "badlands" - i know a lot of people didnt like jake, but were also comparing him to randy rhodes.. (if you like 80's metal/zep-influenced rock, that is a cool debut album).
jade's song / winter's call from badlands is awesome.
check it out on youtube if you havent heard it.. .

Dec. 15th WT - WT Skewed View of Love- Preach, Die, Suffer, Help our Own
by flipper inwell, they are up to their old tricks again.
trying to manipulate rank and file members views of what " real love " is again.. the title of the study article is " love that never fails " .
as my jw daughter so succinctly informed me a couple weeks ago that the most important way jehovah's witnesses are counseled to " show love " is by preaching the good news door to door.

Our Kingdom Ministry 2009 tells sick & infirm NOT to view telephone hook-up as convenient alternative to being “personally present” at KH!
by LUKEWARM ini am feeling sick after reading the question box - it's so cold and unfeeling toward those who use the telephone to listen to congregation meetings.. .
the wts desire to control their weakest members - the infirm and chronically ill - by guilting them into "putting forth the effort to be personally present " at the kingdom hall is disgusting.. .
they are heartless bastards.... ________________________________________.
