    No.....just no.....ratts dont prosper in the jw's or in society. Ratts are labeled and never forgotten.

    Should they? Of course not. But they will if they are brainwashed or coerced enough. Remember, they teach jehoopla is the Master of Surveillance, reading your heart and watching your every move, punishing you with carnivorous birds and death if you are not a Righteous Tattletale. You not only share in the sin of the sinner, you commit your own sin by covering things up.

    In my experience, most teens understand the coercion and brainwashing and don't hold a grudge.

    I wouldn't trust any of the Elders to take care of my goldfish, much less interfere in what my kids are doing. Parents should seek professional help if needed. The Elders are not professionals. They only are taught in the art of judgement and their form of discipline. Just look over the secret Elders book and you will learn a great deal on how the Elders are "instructed" to handle problems.

    Even when I was an elder, I told members that they didn't need to tell the elders everything, but they could work out many of their problems and pray over the matters.

    Now that I see what a dangerous mind-control cult it is, and know that people of the religion will throw people under the bus to save themselves, I say more strongly to "Work out your own problems and have nothing to do with confessing, interrogations, spying for the elders or reporting things to them."

    Go directly to the people involved or the authorities.

    brandnew - "...Ratts are labeled and never forgotten."

    Really?

    Until you brought them up, I hadn't thought about Ratt in years.

    I always thought Motley Crue was better, anyway.
