Hahaha @stealth I thought only Ouija boards screamed when being burned. That's so true- if you are gone more than 5 minutes. I was gone once for 5 months and came back to a lot of new teachings. I guess that's what happens when one doesn't keep pace with Jehovah's organization lol Gotta keep up with this darn chariot.

What did you do with old WT/Awake magazines?
by naazira inwhen you were a witness, what did you do with your old watchtower (public/ study versions) and awake magazines?
i know for some throwing away a magazine is comparable to burning a quran.

inactive ones going back...
by monis1 ini have quite a big group of friends who were all in the cong together when we were teens.
about 75% of them stopped going or were df'd right after high school.
it is a varied group; a couple are staunch apostates, some dont care one way or another, and another handfull are fully "worldly", but still believe it is the truth.

I attempted to go back during the memorial and special talk. Everyone was asking me was I back for good. I said of course I am! I stayed in for 3 weeks, before I realized what I was missing. I enjoyed sleeping in during meeting days.

I Never threw them out! In fact, I still have a large stack, because I like to look at the pictures and draw over them.

If the Governing Body Told You They Love You All Very Much, What Would Your Reply Be?
by steve2 inin a letter in the 2013 yearbook of jehovah's witnesses, the governing body sign off with the words, "we love you all very much".
these words were later echoed by one of the governing body in an address to french jehovah's witnesses in july this year.
these words sound so marvellously compelling and heartfelt - goosebump inducing, even.. imagine the governing body wrote these words to you or expressed them to you in person- yes to you reading these very words.

If the WT got started in the middle east instead of the USA...
by Stealth ini think it would not be much different than isis.
they would be happified to kill and cut off the heads of apostates.. when my jw parents would beat me, they would bring up that in the bible, jews could stone to death rebelious children.
i guess that was supposed to make me feel better about the beating.

Sorry to hear about your experience. I definitely can see the org declaring their own state like Isis. I think they would not be neutral politically, had Jehovah's Witnesses been founded in the middle east. Women would have a hard time- ya know that whole be in submission to your husbands. Forced baptisms- "get baptised or you'll lose Jehovah's provisions such as food. With no food you'll die, but it won't be considered murder. Sisters would have to wear a scarf all the time. Sisters will sit and listen to discourses in the library; the main hall is reserved for the brothers. Gas will be at a resonbable price but only if you use your jw.org discount card. Assuming that the WT owned oil lol I could go on...

I like SNRI antidepressants over SSRIs. From my experience Pros: weight loss, I have the energy to get out of bed, can actually get task done, decrease in anxiety.
Cons: It takes awhile for the medicine to kick in (a few weeks or a month), loss of appetite, nausea, can cause or increase suicidal ideation, in which case the doctor should be notified. Some can make you feel like a zombie with no emotions.

Positives is that I felt superior to worldly people. I also didn't have to work hard and achieve worldly success. I had friends as long as I attended meetings. If I missed two meetings they stopped talking to me, and when I returned I had my friends back. Also, the public speaking was a plus. Field service was good exercise. I learned how to memorize answers, that the holy spirit would later help me call to mind. I learned how to be persuasive and question false doctrine in all religions.
