thank you i will keep that in mind

@wake me up before you jo- ho

Im sorry to hear that its sad to know its that bad

The org ruined my mother. Before she became a JW in my late teens, my mother was such a different person. She was outgoing, friendly, and helpful to our family and neighbors. She played on a co-ed softball team. She was on a bowling team. She and her friends took ceramics classes. We had picnics with people. We visited our extended family, aunts, uncles, cousins, neices, nephews. She regularly had neighbors and people over. After the WTS got their hands on her, she became someone I never knew. My mom became judgemental, cold, and aloof to anyone that was not a JW. She was unfriendly and disengaging. She stopped seeing her friends and coworkers. We stopped, cold turkey, visiting our family. We would only see family at a wedding or a wake. My mom buried her head in the JW literature and abandoned everything that she was. They turned her into a spiritual zombie that only associates with fellow believers. Those fellow believers are conditional friends who are there if you continue to tow the WTS line. Now, she looks down her nose at the worldly heathen and judges everyone by the JW standards. She elevates herself above all. They stole the mother that I knew.

> your friend might say you raped her

what a horrible thing for a grown woman to say to a 13 yr old boy who wants to go play with his friend.

I mean what if an elephant goes into musk in the local zoo, breaks out, charges you and you become a paraplegic? That could happen too, you know.

sheesh.

exjwlemming: that was heartbreaking. Have you ever told your mother this?

One shouldn't accept that just because a Kid isn't a JWS doesn't make them bad, I was influenced to hang out with other JWS kids one whose father was the PO of are congregation, he was totally bad association.

There are bad non JWS kids out there to be realized but don't take it just because your a JWS doesn't make that individual good be any standards.

I was a JWS kid from birth so I know of what I speak.

Wake me up before you Jo-ho, A kid48

I would just bring up the 1006 victims of paedophiles within the organization *in Australia alone* if they bring up the " dangers" of worldly people. Also if they are so dangerous KNOCKING ON THEIR DOORS is about the most dangerous thing you can do!!

A kid48I know she's your Aunt, and your only family now, which is why Its so, so important NOT to get baptised - so she won't have to shun you in the future. Even if the pressure to do so is intense for a while, it will slacken off and as you grow up and leave home they will most probably learn to accept you as you are.

I remember a major freakout back in the 80s* about an anecdotal accusation of rape that turned out to be bullshit...

...which was (unofficially) used by the WTS to scare young JW guys from being alone with any girl (I have to admit, it was somewhat effective).

...

* What was it about the 80s, anyway? Cold-War-Armageddonism, AIDS-as-God's-judgment-on-gays, "Satanic panic"... looking back, it was a crazy-ass decade.

Lol. But it's typical of the prurient mindset of many JWs I have met. I remember I once went to live with my cousin in New Orleans for a few months and when I returned my JW mother had the nerve to ask me at dinner if my cousin and I had had sex (my cousin was a girl, I'm a guy)! I said "No!" in a tone that perfectly conveyed "WTF are you talking about you sick bitch!" That's not to imply that I have anything against kissing cousins. There can never be any wrong in loving, since no one chooses who they are going to love. But what kind of mind comes up with something like that out the blue?

When I was the OP's age my mom conspired to sabotage my relationship with my best friend by lying to both of us and reporting me to her elder father for apostasy. I only discovered her role in it years later, but I'll never forget her casual, self righteous attitude. She said that it was for our own good. That if we had continued on as friends we might have been tempted to have sex with each other. Now, being 13, I was at that age when boys normally become VERY interested in girls, but what? This wasn't some slut I had met at school. This was my best friend whom I had known since I was 7 years old!

Does my mom know anything about human psychology? People don't typically get the hots for cousins or members of the opposite sex they've known since before their balls dropped. But I guess in the perverted mind of a JW, anything's possible; right? I sometimes wonder if this cult attracts people with abnormal sexuality. A therapist once told me that in his experience members of high control groups like JWs, that segregate the sexes, often have low impulse control. Like if a man knows that he might rape a woman if left alone with one, he will join a religion that prevents him from ever being in that situation.

When I was about eight years old, our neighbour’s girl of around the same age (eight) used to show me her private parts, purely of her own volition. She actually initiated wanting me to investigate such parts of hers manually. But, believe it or not, it was completely “innocent” (as per both our ages).

As a matter of fact, afterward I asked my mother how the seeds (genetic material) get from the male to the female. . . . . Boy, was I clueless! (And what a wasted opportunity.)

OMG, that is funny.. and kinda sad...

When I was 6 this girl who attended the daycare facility I went to after school started molesting me. I remember the first time it happened: I was alone, on my way to the bathroom, when she literally leaped on me like a ferocious little lioness! I was shocked and frightened at first, but once I gave up fighting her I noticed I was getting hard and decided to let her do whatever she wanted... She was a little girl of course - so no tits or ass - but she had a very pretty face: big blue eyes, the whitest skin and a long, wavy mane of golden hair...

From age 6 'till about 12 I was absolutely girl crazy! Back then I always had a girl whom I was really close to and physically intimate with, as well as plenty of platonic girlfriends too; but once they started puberty I lost interest. Physically they became more attractive, but their personalities seemed to flatten out and their IQs dropped. It was not at all like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly. It was more like seeing someone you enjoyed spending time with become senile until there was very little left of them. Why do girls become so passive and air-headed as soon as they hit puberty? Why can't those with hot bodies have equally sexy personalities? I blame Jehovah!
