stress related illness
by petespal2002 inis it only me, or does there seem to be a higher than normal percentage rate of stress and anxiety related illnesses within the congregations?.
could it be that thay feel they have to attend all meetings, be regular in the field ministry etc.
as well as holding down a job, caring for a family and day to day stresses and strains?

all sex and nothing to show for it!!!!!!!!!!
by petespal2002 inreading the thred on vasectomy got me musing; if we were put on earth to populate it, and given sex organs purely for this purpose, what about all the jw's who 'sacrifice' having a family so they can 'do more' in the service.
would it not be improper to use your sex organs purely for pleasure, or do they give up having sex as well?

The Bishop of Carlisle- where have you heard this before?
by petespal2002 inin our local evening paper the bishop of carlisle was quoted as saying that homosexual acts, anal and oral sex and sex outside of marriage are signs of demon posession and proof positive of demon activity in the world.
he also said that miscarrages can bring demons into the world, as can abortions, those with mental illnesses or longstanding medical conditions that don't respond well to treatment could be possesed of a spirit, as could those who constantly wear black or repeatedly buy black cars.
i was reminded of those told by christian elders that they may havr allowed satan in due to some activity or occurence of depression.
