Not Placing--- I have been here almost two years now, and I have changed a great deal as well. It is so painful when you cannot discuss these things with the closest members of your family. My parents and little brother are devout. My mother suffers great depression and is on three different anti-depressants, (which aren't working by the way). I feel very strongly that if she was not in the Org. she would not suffer so badly. I am grateful for this forum and the people that post here, I have learned so much, but it hurts to be alienated from one's family. I sincerely hope that your family, as well as mine and all those here who have family members that are devout in the JW religion, come to the realizations that we all have. I hope that for everyone who is in and miserable. Glad to have you here, and I hope to hear much more from you in the future.

I wonder what caused him to do it. Perhaps fear of not being good enough? Or maybe he realized that everything he had sacrificed in his life thinking he was doing the right thing was all for nothing. I remember when I found out that it was all a lie, horrible feeling. Poor soul, and I hurt for his family as well. I wonder if the society will try to spin it and say that he had some physical disorder that caused him to do it. It couldn't possibly have anything to do with the fact that the Borg makes people miserable.

Evil Spirits
by LizLA indoes anyone on this forum have knowledge about casting out demons or evil spirits?
there's at least two of them that have been harrasing me even before i was a jw.
i recently attended a deliverance church to find some help but it was apparent that the holy spirit was missing from that church.

Notorious A**hole Christopher Hitchens Thrown Into The Eternal Flames Of Gehenna
by Philadelphia Ponos inthe first time i heard of christopher hitchens was today when his named was mentioned multiple times in the comment section of a youtube video.
after reading a brief summary of his life, it became clear that this guy was a complete douche-bag.
a very arrogant sarcastic bigoted f**k who looked down on everyone who didn't share his beliefs.

At the end of the day, you are just trolling. Even if there is an important message that you are trying to get out, you are still just a troll. This is an epic fail on your part.

Give us your vote on the Watch Tower's approach to domestic abuse!!
by cedars inas you may be aware, the feb 15th watchtower features an experience depicting a 'fairytale' scenario of a violent husband beating his wife, and then mending his ways once she starts to apply bible principles.
to my knowledge, this is the nineteenth experience of its kind to be published since 1958, and it betrays a disturbing track record of negligence on the part of the watch tower society in failing to properly and consistently deal with such a sensitive and life-or-death issue, which effects untold thousands of women.. the experience, page 29, paragraph 12, reads as follows:.
selma recalls a lesson she learned from the witness who studied with her.

Strange isn't the word for it. Even Weird doesn't do it justice.

Yeah, "strange", or "weird", are not the words to describe this. I think the words you are looking for are "BRILLIANT", and "GENIUS"!!!! This is so awesome, especially since the guy singing is obviously lip-synching, and it is F**king hilarious!!!
