Were you beaten as a child?

by purrpurr in

i've been confronting my mother with her dubious parenting skills (abuse) of me as a child.

particularly the beatings i would get with the wooden spoon.

not a light smack but hitting me as hard as she could for as long as she could.

Yes, with a belt, a fly swatter and by hand. Once I saw stars. 😜

Reading the recent thread about first talks reminded me of when I was new on the school.

I was around 8 and had to read the chapter that mentions 'sucking king's breasts'. We got there late and somebody else was giving it. Boy was I secretly relieved. My Dad looked down and with a glimmer said 'are you glad?'.

By the time I grew up, I figured the only way to avoid embarrassment was to OWN those nasty readings. Read em like you meant em, breast squeezing, breast intoxication, bosom pressing, donkey genitals, horse emissions, and the assorted 'ass'.

One older sister approached me after and remarked on the very 'mature' reading I was assigned. Another time I took someone's place reading the Proverbs 'marital sex' chapter. He sincerely thanked me after with a look of fear on his face.

Anybody have anecdotes to share about shocking scriptures/etc. and situations in the ministry/at the meeting/etc.?

Todays WT about young people not following the bad example of their parents

by konceptual99 in

so the wt today had some paragraphs that told young people they could make their own stand for da troof.... 2 since we live in a fierce, loveless world, it is no surprise that many children have to grow up without the benefit of loving, protective parents.

(2 tim.

3:1-5) many christians today come from painful family backgrounds, but they have built close friendships with jehovah.

And the illustration gives a good example of a young brother who presses on in spite of the bad example of his family. Just look at them, the father relaxing in front of the news instead of JW Broadcasting, and the mother and son spending quality time together using something that probably isn't produced by the society. How tragic!

Iread this last year, it was brilliant, like Indiana Jones, X files, Da Vinci code rolled into one. A lot of fun, excitement and mystery, but still poignant and food for thought. Look forward to the sequel.

thanks to online media of movies and books i've recently been watching the twilight series.

issues of quality aside i enjoyed it enough.

i mostly wanted to see what the fuss was about and have the fun of seeing a movie that was banned from the platform when it came out.

Who says the hunger games are banned? I know a regular pioneer who post excitedly about the series on Facebook.

2016 Watchtower Cart Campaign Video!

by Atlantis in

2016 watchtower cart campaign video... this video does not seem to be listed on jw.org, so it may not be available to rank and file jws.. .. organizational accomplishments-sail amsterdam.

.. between minutes 1:05--1:10 of this video, the watchtower plainly states that they are directing people to (jw.org) no mention of directing people to god's kingdom, or to god or even jesus christ.. .. between minutes 2:45--2:52 the statement is made that the demonstrations focus primarily on promoting (jw.org) again, no mention of god's kingdom or jesus christ.. .. it is pretty clear to see that (jw.org) has taken the drivers seat and god's kingdom and jesus christ have been placed in the back seat.. .. https://we.tl/eejg44rezq.
