U.S. Warns of Threat To Financial Icons!!!

by minimus in

well it looks like al -qaida might not use a dirty bomb after all.

truck and car bombing will do just fine!

now washington, new york and new jersey are on the alert for another big threat.

shamus

Shamus, it's all over the internet and TV.

I'll turn my TV on now... I just got back from camping. Just wondering, because of some other threads... (wink wink, nudge nudge...)

That would make sense because Al-Quaida, or however you spell it, is trying to destory investor confidence in the U.S.A. Unfortunately, these kinds of threats are going to be with you guys for a long long time. And it also affects Canada and the whole world! We are also a target on they're list.

Just How Serious IS Depression . . . ?

by Corvin in

how serious is depression related to your jw upbringing, association and/or disfellowshipment?

should this kind (or any other kind) of depression that lingers long after the wt smoke clears go untreated?

how have you successfully dealt with your depression?.

being raised a JW exaserbated my condition

Yes, I well remember going to meetings and coming home crying. The shame that they put on you is horrendous!

Being raised a JW probably did exaserbate your condition. At the same time, nobody's childhood is perfect either. There are horror stories of drunks and crackheads raising kids too... so which is worse?

I guess the thing that has really helped me, Corvin, is the outlook thing. Really really not thinking of past mistakes, be it true or made up in your mind (which happens a lot). Whenever I think of old things, I immediately tell myself to STOP and STOP LOOKING BACK.

I've been on Paxil for years, and just recently switched to Remerol. Remerol has a nutty way of giving me crazy legs for about 2 hours...

So is this like a real story? I would like to read it if it's true. I know that some threads here have been based on just hear-say.

Min, you have a linky?

Cancer is either treatable or isn't. I wish that depression would go away. Frankly, I'd rather take my chances with cancer than have this, without hesitation. I think that kind of explains what depression is like. I get intense rage at everything, and had the pleasure of panic attacks thanks to my constant use of marijuana. (which I quit)

The important thing is to stay positive when things happen. These days I force myself not to look back at past mistakes, and situations that I find myself in now. You do a lot of looking back and thinking worst case scenario's for the future.

And dubs have nothing to do with depression whatsoever. It doesn't care what religion you are. Low seratonin has nothing to do with being a Jehovahs Witness. In fact, they're constant bombardment of shaming made me get help, and got me out of that bullshit. I owe a big debt of gratitude to the Jehovahs Witnesses, the way that they treated me.

Check out www.wingofmadness.com for more information. That is one of the best sources I have seen on the net. There is a lot of dis-information, even here.

I figured out the date for Armageddon

by gitasatsangha in

its controvertable, so sell your house and stock options and give them to me so you might spend moer time warning others of our loving god's plans to annihilate them on 2031. here you go: .

perhaps they will have new lite soon that the symbolic forty years and forty days in the wildernes was symbollic of 40,400 days because to god a thousand years is like a day so a week is like, therefore which is 110 years after 1914 is sometime in 2024 that they will no longer accept any new annointed claims.

40*365=14600+40=14640days of drinking and being merry (last hurrah for newly annointed ones): .

Would You Go To A Seminar Exposing The Society's "Secrets"?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i was sent a letter stating that on friday august 27, 2004, there will be a seminar exposing the watchtower society's history and secrets.

during the program, they will have a guest speaker telling his story as to how he was abused by a governing body member at world headquarters.

another will testify that he was about to be appointed a ministerial servant while carrying on in an adulterous relationship.......besides exposing the "secrets", the letter says they'll be exposing the occult connections of the society, the mental manipulation and mind control, even elevated anxiety and mental illness amongst jws.

shamus

I wouldn't go unless there was free Kool-Aid.

AIN'T NO CURE FOR LOVE. Leonard Cohen (a Canuck, BTW)

I loved you for a long long time. I know this love is real. It don't matter how it all went wrong. That don't change the way I feel. And I can't believe that time can heal this wound I'm speaking of - There ain't no cure, there ain't no cure, there ain't no cure for love.

I'm aching for you, baby. I can't pretend I'm not. I need to see you naked in your body and your thought. I've got you like a havit and I'll never get enough - There ain't no cure, there ain't no cure, there ain't no cure for love.

All the rocket ships are climbing through the sky, the holy books are open wide, the doctors working day and night, but they'll never find that cure for love - there ain't no drink, no drug - there's nothing pure enough to be a cure for love.

I see you in the subway and I see you on the bus. I see you lying down with me and I see you waking up. I see your hand, I see your hair, your bracelets and your brush. And I call to you, I call to you, but I don't call osft enough - There ain't no cure, there ain't no cure, there ain't no cure for love.

I walked into this empty church - I had no place else to go - when the sweetest voice I ever heard came whispering to my soul. I don't need to be forgiven for loving you so much. It's written in the scriptures, it's written there in blood. I even heard the angels declare it from above - There ain't no cure, there ain't no cure, there ain't no cure for love.
