  And JW's are not allowed to think about sex? O_o

  i thought this might catch your eye.

  especially if you're a man.. they say thinking about sex is wrong!

  that's biologically impossible.

  Yep, it always amazed me that we were taught that Jehovah created sex and the natural sex drive, but for those of us who were raised as JWs, everything about sex was EVIL and SINFUL, until the night of your wedding?!?!

  So a couple of "good" courting / engaged JWs cant even talk about sex for fear of sinning, yet they are supposed to be ok the night after "I Do" is said?

  No wonder so many JWs are messed up....how do they even know each other's likes and desires...or in fact their own?

  God makes the sex drive, but then says its evil to allow those feelings?

  That's like him making us hungry then not allowing us to eat until we sign some contract at one restaurant....

  evening all.

  my first post - born in but faded 15 years ago before that i was pimo for a number of years.. to put it bluntly the whole jw religion/thing is a crock of shit.

  i sort of figured this out for myself before i faded but reading posts and comments on this forum confirms this.

  "The little one becomes a thousand" The "ingthering" is speeding up!

  heya all!.

  over the last few months i've been doing a lot more support work with people who are waking up and exiting the "truth" .

  i'm part of a team that receives on average 10 new emails, messages or contact through various means, from ones who have just awoken to the realisation that they have been in a cult!.

  has anyone had success in helping your spouse to wake up?

  i’m thinking of showing my husband jwfacts.

  he is starting to do his own research using wikipedia and google.

  I managed to help my wife wake up.

  The key was to just create and maintain a safe and supportive environment, while very slowly drip feeding small bits of information.

  It is so important to not flood someone - as this can often cause a rebound effect as they recoil in defense of the "truth".

  Keep introducing fun weekend activities, and slowly break the JW routine...

  here is my wife's first post here on the forum after years of slowly helping her to wake up: https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5146331746140160/trying-positive

  Out of interest, did the audio link play in countries outside of Australia?

  I'm not sure if they (ABC radio) made it a regional thing...?

  Anney is a wonderful woman who has risen above her JW upbringing, and shares her story in an open interview. Her artwork is beautiful, and will strike a chord with many of us here!

  The Baptist version of "Listen Obey and Be Blessed"

  by john.prestor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so i share stories from time to time on here from my childhood in a fundamentalist baptist church, which sounds pretty damn similar to some of the stories i read on here from ex-witnesses, the fear and guilt-tripping, the sexual repression, the world being a dark and wicked place, i even went door-to-door once in a while to hand out chick tracts (wish i was kidding) and try to get people to come to our church... so they could pay the pastor's salary, but i digress.

  anyway, i don't remember a lot of it because my parents started bringing me to sunday school as soon as i could walk, so on sunday mornings my family dressed up and headed out the door bright and early to services.

  my parents stayed upstairs for adult classes and me and my brother went downstairs where all the kids met to sing songs together before we separated for "age-appropriate" activities.

  Great thread.

  Yes, MANY churches spew out such a controlling narrative:
