Some Witnesses Seem To Relish Bad News
by EmptyInside init may be just my imagination,but sometimes i think witnesses get overly excited when a natural disaster or some violent event happens.
i guess they feel it proves their point on how awful things are.. my mother seems to be this way.
she seemed elated to tell me about a couple shootings that took place in our city today.

As a JW child, were you afraid to swallow your own blood?
by biometrics ingrowing up as a jw born-in during the 1980s i distinctly remember cutting my tounge.
i was afraid to swallow my blood, thinking that if i even swallowed one drop i woudn't make it to the new system.
so i kept spitting the blood out.

Number of JW's on antidepressant medication & unemployment
by biometrics inin the congregations i attended more than 60% of the people i knew were on some type of antidepressant medication.
this rate seems much higher than "worldly" people i know/knew.
or perhaps witnesses are just more open about this topic?.

Kingdom Hall remodel - scam
by Dagney ini was wondering from any here in the know, does it seem like there is a lot of "remodels" going on?.

The "invisible" Elephant in the room: ELDERLY JW's nobody provides for
by Terry inquestion: how does the leadership of jehovah's witnesses instruct its members to prepare for the eventual elder care of its members?.

is this responsible leadership or some kind of cognitive dissonant malfeasance?.
