  Dealing with overbearing parent?

  by make yourself in

  how was it growing up dealing with over bearing parents being a born in?

  right now i'm being guilt tripped about relationships and friendships with normal people.

  it makes no sense to me, how can you tell someone who is grown not to hang out with certain individuals?

  How to cope with depression?

  i know its very common for jws and ex jws to deal with depression.

  maybe it's a side effect of cognitive dissonance or the whole outlook on life being a jw.

  but what are some ways to cope with depression?

  Is it true that elders lurk the forums?

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it seems like it is one huge contradiction.

  but are they doing it for the purpose to try to guess exactly who in the congregation is on ex jw sites?

  one flock, one shepard

  did anyone else notice that in the watchtower its bringing out jesus is the mediator only for the 144,00. and where did they get it that jesus didn't partake of the emblems?!?!

  it's crazy how true that scripture is that states that satan blinds the minds of the unbelievers.

  but what i don't understand is do you think the governing body is doing this type of stuff like putting stuff in the watchtower like this on purpose since they have the issues only for members of the congregration?

  Baptizing in the name of the holy spirit?

  by make yourself in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this came across as really interesting to me seeing as how they change up the baptismal questions so many times.but thats a lie as a matter of fact the updated questions look like this: .

  1.on the basis of the sacrifice of jesus christ, do you repent of your sins and dedicate yourself to jehovah to do his will?

  2.do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of jehovah witnesses in line with god's spirit-directed organization?

  i was watching cnn, an d they asked this question and this one lady called in and claimed she wasn't raised in a religious household.

  but she remembered when she was in elementary school that this jw girl asked her if she was spritual she said no, then the jw told her she would go to hell.

  wow.
