Need LOGICAL PRESENTATION that FDS is BS- talk w/2 elders wanting to help
by AWAKE&WATCHING inmy best friend showed up where i work to see what's going on with me.
i haven't called her since she told an elder at my hall that i was falling out of the truth, little does she know i've fallen and i don't want to get up.. i told her i had now done my research and i absolutely don't believe it.
she said she didn't want to hear my apostate stuff.

I was DFed because I was honest at my JC. I'm not saying to "lie" however be very cautious in what you say--especially if you have family still in.

How to treat Disfellowshipped Ones?
by Thinking of Leaving ini work with this jw but was recently df.
prior to the convention i noticed the "sister" would talk to me normally as if i wasn't even df.
she just brushed it aside and i really appreciated her mature, professional behaviour towards me.. since she attended the dc however she's been acting cold towards me.

Hmmm...well that does explain why my dub brother was all concerned for me and calling me every week over my personal problems until about a month ago.

I was dragged into the religion as a very young child and always really hated the meetings and loooong conventions. Always felt so guilty about that too. I also hated field service.
I can understand that some of those who were converted as adults would find the talks "spiritually uplifting" though. Why else would they sit through them?
My brother just told our Mom that he "really enjoyed" last month's DC. Better him than me sitting there getting bored to tears, is what I have to say about that!

A disproportionate number of those who are homeless have severe mental illnesses, particularly schizophrenia.
This is so true. I have much more empathy for these "street people" now that I realize this. My own son has been out there even though he has a home with me. At times that is where he prefers to be--he often tries to preach to people when he is in a manic-religious state but he usually just talks to himself.
I remember an older man named Herbie who "lived" in a major intersection in Phoenix, AZ. He was a war vet and was obviously schizophrenic. He would sweep out the corner Jack-inthe Box for spare change and a daily burger. He had a lawn chair and even a radio set up in the island near the curb. He sometimes felt the need to sweep the intersection and would stop traffic. Once he was even perched atop the signal pole! Everybody knew him. One night he was struck and killed by a car in his intersection.

Well that's both good and bad. On one hand it's great if they are easing up a bit on the beard thing, but it also means that his cong just may be OK with it and he is not veering away from this religion.
Also--this is just not fair. If they allow men to wear facial hair now they should let the women dress in pants.

Mental Illness - diagnosed for me
by Crumpet ini've long known, and most of you probably have as well, that there was something not all there with me.
mostly i put it down to me being bad.
questions i've never been asked before.

A great book to read on the "creative" aspects of bipolar is Touched With Fire, by Kay Redfield Jamieson.
Thanks for posting your story.

My Brother Died in a Car Wreck Last Night
by WLG ini just found out about an hour ago.
he wasn't even old enough to drink yet.. to make it even sh*ttier, he had called me a few weeks ago and asked if he could come out here with me but i couldn't do it at the time.
so of course the first thing that comes to mind is if i had done something different it wouldn't have happened.. he was going through the sh*t as i call it, when witnesses go off the deep end and get into everything in the world to stop hurting and they don't even know what is wrong.

Please take care of yourself and stay strong. You mustn't blame yourself although that is a normal reaction at this time--no matter what you had done. Peace to you.
