Boys pre-teen sexuality / erections.? Why ? If only for procreation ?
by smiddy3 inthis has been a bug bear my whole life i think and not really sure how to address it as nobody else ever seems to do so.. and it relates to the question if god really created humans .
he did a shithouse job in this regard.. i can`t speak for females this is entirely a male thing.
from my perspective.. male adolescents at a very ,very young age , babies , get erections periodically and it has nothing to do with sexual fantasies ,because they don`t even have an awareness of sex between a male and a female at this time.. and it is second inbuilt nature to masturbate to relieve, get rid of the erection .

Very sorry for what you went through smiddy3. I well remember those young pre-teen years. It seem to happen alot sitting for a long time at our desk in school. Then the teacher ask you up front of the class to give a report on whatever. Thank god for notebooks. Lol. Still Totally ADD

The answer to your question is yes, yes and yes. It was hell as a child. Exposed to sex perverts to people who should have been in a mental hospital. My dad took it hook, line and sinker because of his hate for religion. He felt he had special knowledge that on one else had. He couldn't wait to see everyone killed by the big A. So happy I am out with my witts or am I. Lol. Still Totally ADD

Let's see. 1 Mother, 1 Brother , 1 Son, 1 Daughter-in-law, 2 Grandchildren. Except for the Grandchildren the rest are very toxic when it came to relationships in the past. Now it is very, very peaceful. My greatest hope is my Son wakes up someday. Still Totally ADD

I am still like a little kid when it comes to Christmas. After all the first Christmas I celebrated I was 54 years old. Anyway my wife and I will be going to Virginia Beach to our youngest son family's house. Plus he has invited another X-JW family for Christmas. It should be alot of fun. The biggest problem we have is what gifts do you get for our three grandchildren ages 4-13 years old. Oh what fun when the biggest worry is that.
With our son friends coming we may have a little apostate gathering for Christmas. Lol. For all those on this board my hope is you all have a peaceful and joyfull holiday. Still Totally ADD

Another one bites the dust
by stillin ina close-by young brother, actually your basic, garden-variety, sexually-repressed, 40-year old virgin in the congregation has been charged with sexual misconduct with a minor.
i've known this guy since he was a kid and he has always been strange, in a nerdy kind of way.
he always wants to sound knowledgeable and wise when he comments at meetings, but i think he is bi-polar and depressed about who he is in life.

I kind of believe the ancient God's were ancient aliens from another planet. I mean fiery flying chariots, wheels inside wheels spinning and ladders going up to heaven. All these make believe God's are nothing more but things the ancients saw but only explain them in ways they could understand. Still Totally ADD

Take a Moment and Think About How Awesome You Are
by Simon init's easy to get bogged down with life and think you're not getting ahead or progressing.
but regardless of where we think things may be going, pretty much everyone who's come through this site is an achiever who's done an amazing thing in one way or another even if they may not think about it.. so think about it!.
you got past and over your programming and indoctrination.

Simon thank you for such encouragement. My wife and I were lucky, we left at the same time. At first our children shunned us but as we all know our youngest son and his family have left the cult. Being a born-in it was hardest on me but with time I quit beating myself up for taking so long to wake-up. My wife was great in helping me through this. Our life is so much better, we have made new friends, I was able to take classes to become a master gardener, my wife wrote a small book on useful weeds that grow in your yard, we are active in our local farmers market and finally we in our mid 60's have started a herbal tea business.
I agree with you that everyone who have left a cult are not only survivors but are courageous in leaving a destructive cult and deserve a pat on their back. Congratulations to all of us. Thank you for this site Simon it has been a anchor to all of us. As a misquote from the wt. Cult "Stand tall be courageous be happy you have escape a destructive cult." Take care. Still Totally ADD

When it quacks like a duck and looks like a duck it's a duck. I don't care about the other two guys you keep throwing out. THEY ARE NOT THE PRESIDENT TRUMP IS. This president is a bully and the biggest liar and law breaker I have ever seen. Why do you even care about this guy? Don't you live in Canada? This is my country and I have the right to believe what I want to believe and say concerning my country not yours or any other country just mine. The far right religious nuts love trump because they feel he will bring on the end of the world. That's why they call him the chosen one. Does this not sound familiar? So yes he does have a cult following and I for one will not follow him. He may be my president but hopefully not for long. Still Totally ADD
