This is a highly interesting WT material (70 pages),
that prepares JW's for child custody court cases...
Some statements are shocking, there are many
instructions, how JW's must lie in court to appear
"normal" (for example check page 50)
Thanx to Jourles! Its a MUST READ!

Hello izobcenec
I just picked this up and started reading it this morning before I started work.
I thought I would never see anything like this but then again ... this is the JW leadership.
What on page 50 is really unique? It looks to me like part of the list of source material where htey have taken quotes out of context.
Or are you taking page 50 in the Acrobat Reader which brings me to page 43 which talks about "Evidence of Young People". That page is a little unsettling.

I felt sick reading that.
Have you been exposed to different religious views since youth? How has this affected you?
Learned to
hate anyone not a witnessbe tolerant andoppose independent thinkingappreciate divergence of opinions; whilebeing forced to get baptized at a young age due to peer pressure and fear of being labeled weakpersonally choosingindocrinationsteachings of Jehovah's Witnesses, have learned toview anyone who has left the Jehovah's Witnesses as evil and to shun them even if they were members of my family or close friendsrespect others' right of choice.How has association with Jehovah's Witnesses affected your life?
Comment on positive value of truth
as opposed to the fact you you're depressed because of the current pressure to do more, more, more else be labled weak and have the majority of other young ones in the hall ignore you less they be labeled weak as well; have a purpose in lifeto devote your life to a publishing corporation and then wondering why you have no pension to fall back on when the end doesn't come; take interest in other peopleso long as they're aren't weak; good moralslike plently of people who aren't JWs; obey the lawlike plently of people who aren't JWs, etc.Do you go from house-to-house? Describe your reaction.
Educational value of social contact; learn how to meet people, strike up a conversation and
expect them to accept my viewpoint as coming from God else they are birdfoodreason on a variety of topics. At an early date learned about the many different viewsbut still birdfoodpeople have.Forcing me intoMeetingfriends from schoolpeople at doorsmade me shy and gave my self asteem a blowovercame shyness and lack of confidence. Ease of dealing with people is valuable now in myP.O's cleaningbusiness as well asfrequentreligious andraresocial activities.Is it not depressing when you are rejected at a door?
Yes.No. We have somethingtoogoodto be trueto share with those whoare depressed and more open to listen to our lieswant to listen. Each individual has the right toourhis opinion. If rejected, we can leave andlaugh how they will be birdfoodfind someone whoalso doesn'tdoes want to talk a fewhours drive hopefullydoors away.Are not three religous meetings (plus assemblys, field service, family study etc etc) a week boring?
Yes.No. Meetings aredull as ditchwaterinteresting. Participate in Theocratic Ministry Schoolbecauseif you don't you're weakand learn how to talk tounmarkedpeople. Associate with otherunmarkedyoung people at meetings. Makefield ministrysocial anddullrecreational arrangements.How did you do in school? Did you have any problems? Did you get along with other students? Did your association with Jehovah's Witnesses hinder your education?
All the f***ing time. I was a social outcast from the moment I got there. Wasn't allowed to make friends with anyone there who didn't have an interest in the JWs. Ended up living a double life getting myself pregnant, smoking and stealing stuff my parents wouldn't let me have.Not at all; kept me out of trouble with the drug scene, immoality, illegitimate children, shoplifting, etc. Helped me take a mature view of the need for an education so I couldignore all the advice my career's and pioneerdo something useful anddull as hellinteresting with my life.Ignored One.
