Scaredtospeak dont worry dude Im in the same shoes as you, Im 18 too. I am now in college desperately trying to grasp knowledge and master my major. Dont worry dude just put on a fake smile at the meetings and go with the flow. Once you're able to make it on your own pull the plug and RUN!

So I'm going through a really difficult time right now.
by scaredtospeak ini was publicly reproved last year and the elders have taken their sweet time in reinstating my "privileges".
it's been six months and i can't answer at the meetings or participate in the theocratic ministry school.
in all honesty- i don't care about the privileges.

The org uses "Emotional entrapment and manipulation" rather than factual substance....
by stuckinarut2 inhave you noticed just how much the org is now appealing to "emotions" rather than facts?.
we used to be told that worshiping god has an element of emotion involved of course, but that the primary motivation should be logical truth.
now though, they seem to be highlighting the "fluff" rather than the substance!.

At the last regional convention I served as an attendant at Stanley Theater, and when they played the resurrection video a sister fainted. She was NOT small, so me and three other brothers had to carry her to the first aid booth in the lobby.
The level of emotional control the GB has on people in the cult is unreal.

After I skipped that Sunday meeting to avoid the elders, the next meeting on Tuesday evening one of em managed to grab me. I didnt want to make a scene, so eith a fake smile I explained to him what I said at home was a misunderstanding.
He then said that it was okay and that what my mom said was no big deal. He told me the reason he wanted to talk to me was because the elders added my name to the list to read for the watchtower on sundays.
They like my voice since its very deep. I'd always receive that compliment when I gave prayers,ministry school talks, and readings for the bookstudy.
I already know that gods holy spirit isn't active in the org. If it was I wouldn't be getting priviledges. If god existed and directed this cult he'd know that I am an atheist. He also wouldn't allow a child molester in my hall to be appointed back to a MS again.
Any thoughts guys?

Forcing child to watch JW.org kid's videos?
by Darth Fader The Sequel inwe recently were visiting lifelong friends of ours in another state.
these people are uber-devoted jw's.
i mean they are prototypical "witness zombies" who do exactly what the gb tell them to without fail and always with a smile on their face.

Before I woke up, I thought Caleb and Sophia were amazing.
Now that I know TTATT that s*** creeps me out.
I'm so lucky I was born in the 90s and wasn't exposed to this trash.
There is now an abundance of indoctrination in the homes of uber-dub parents thanks to this.
