After I was disfellowshipped my mother told me that I was like Eli's sons.

When my nine year old self refused to eat cooked carrots:

Mom: "What if you are in prison during the great tribulation and all you had to eat was cooked carrots, THEN what will you do?!"

Me: "I'll eat them then."

What strikes me NOW is how normal it was back then it was to talk to kids about going to prison and total destruction of 99.999% of the earth's inhabitants. We didn't even blink an eye back then.

Another great mom line was: "Just think...ALLLL these people are going to be destroyed." (When looking at a large crowd.) She was a nice lady and she it didn't phase her a bit.

Strange strange religion.

"You will reap what you sow."

What a stupid, fucking thing. After I left I thought about how senseless this phrase is (yes, the Bible has plenty of useless crap).

Let's see. I should have answered:

Answer 1: "No Mom, sometimes there is bad weather and shit and you only reap part of it."

Answer 2: "Is that a rule? Really? A 100% RULE? Like unfalible RULE? I don't think so..."

Answer 3: "I can sow, than destroy the field, than sow something else, than drive a tractor over it, or even sell the goddamn land."

Answer 4: "WTF?"

Yep...the sparkle of youth and childhood was greatly diminished by the constant threat of having to endure "concentration camp" like circumstances for Jehovah. Most adults try to shield children from these kind of horrors until they have the coping skills to deal with them. No such consideration for JW kids, we heard about the future horrors to come at almost every meeting just in case we might need more material for our nightmares or may have gotten over being frightened out of our wits since the last meeting.

"I want you to survive Armageddon...please come back to Jehovah"

Which question will you be commenting on today? Underline it so you're ready when the brother calls on you!

It would make your dear old father proud if you raised your hand at the Watchtower study.

You have so little interest in the truth! Weeps into hankie.

We give presents all year.

That skirt isn't modest.

We can't get you those meeting shoes until your father makes sure they won't stumble anyone.

Why don't you cultivate some studies?

Don't you want to pioneer during school vacation and please Jehovah?

If you don't change your rebellious attitude, you'll never get a Christian husband. (I was a tomboy.)

My dad was a big fan of 1st Corinthian's 15:33, even when it wasn't relevant I'd hear "Bad associations spoil useful habits".
