  leaving aside all the demunz, bogey men and evil spirit rubbish....the real issue is filling childrens minds with the stuff--its just another form of child abuse.

  i grew up with stories relayed by easily influenced dubs--including my own parents. it got to the point i was afraid of the dark--a pre-teen kid terrified of everything and anything.

  fortunately--when i discarded jehovah and his watchtower gang,--- in my early 20's...the fear of demons went away too.

  a few years later i overheard my bat-shit crazy born-in mother in law ( the sort that would have eaten a rutherford turd in a bread roll )---telling my kids about demons. i hit the roof. gave her a real evil spirit to be frightened of.

  Would You EVER Go Back To Being A Jehovah's Witness?

  by minimus in

  i could never understand why some people who know the truth about the "truth" ever go back.

  once you understand all the hypocrisy and negatives, i would think it's almost impossible to go back!.

  Would This Be Adultery?

  by FedUpJW in

  1. watchtower

  i just happened to read a news article from some months ago about doctors having performed a successful penis transplant.

  the recipient lost his due to cancer, and doctors expect him to gain full use of his "new" penis, including sexual activities.

  considering some of the more goofy interpretations of doctrine that the gooberning body trots out that the rank and file must obey under penalty of shunning i wonder if a man had this surgery, would he and or his wife be df'd for adultery?

  Do you find it therapeutic coming to this site?

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i read on another thread how this site has helped another user and that for them it has been a form of therapy.. for me yes, jwn has most certainly been a form of therapy.. i recall the days i first came to jwn (in 2004) and couldn't​ believe i had found people who were of the same opinion as myself in regards to the society.

  it was this site that led me to reading ray franz's book 'crisis of conscience' which i read twice within a week.

  it also led me to jw facts that goes into every nook and cranny regarding the society's​ teachings, policies and history.. note: i also visit many other sites and watch you tube videos a lot, but gravitate here most of the time.. coming here to express my inner most thoughts and feelings has helped me no end and allows me to overcome my frustrations.

  in the few years ive been a member--it has surprised me how many have come on here--got what they needed--and moved on..

  then--we see a constant stream of new members. every one on the escape route from the watchtower cult: in their own time and pace.

  Today's W.T on GB not being inspired is having ZERO impact on most J.W's

  by Isambard Crater in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the congregation i attend had it's watchtower study on thursday night because of l.d.c work this week-end, and another congregation i have some not very spiritual friends in had their watchtower study on wednesday.

  from what i have delicately prised out of people, the congregations loved the watchtower study this week, saying it was so encouraging and all the usual stuff, with no-one seeming to realise the g.b.

  said they're not inspired, so the spirit int he past has moved them to teach wrong things, and all the other ideas excellently summed up on reddit.. today's watchtower will wash over the heads of most j.w's like it never even happened, the all remaining as loyal as ever, and it makes me so, so sad..

  very sad as this story is----it does bear out what ive said before about jw deaths through blood refusals in the UK...they get in the newspapers. so fortunately there are very few in the UK most years.

  What was it like being a JW in the 1960's and 1970's

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this is obviously a question for the older generation.

  i'm really curious what it was like to be a witness in the 60's and 70's?.

  was the society as strict as it is today?.

  i grew up in the cult in the 60's---in Birmingham UK. dipped at 14. left school at 15..pioneering at 16. lots of parties with no parental interference--especially after circuit assemblies on sunday nights. really great fun . lots of drunkeness and smoking ! it wasnt a d/f offence back then.

  like most of my jw mates--i just wanted a regular girlfriend. startied courting at 17---a born in with very strict jw parents. most of the guys i knew were having sex in one form or another. a few got d/f if the girl got pregnant.

  married at 20.---1968. soon stopped pioneering.

  by the time i was 23--i just knew 1975 was utter twaddle---and my wife was now carrying our first of 3...so i had to think long and hard about the blood issue. but it didnt take too long. i threw away all the jehovah myth--and all the shackles that went with it.

  i resigned in 1971.. and it made no difference to most of the bros--i attended memorials and the occassional meeting to keep the wife happy. i was never shunned. till '81--then all things changed. ive never looked back or been to a meeting since.
