  jw kids are repressed in every aspect of their lives, creatively, intellectually, atheletically...the list goes on.. what did you love to do as a kid, yet weren't permitted to do?.

  i personally loved football as a kid.

  other jw kids and i would play every weekend until the subject was brought up at an assembly as being competitive.

  smurfs running up and down the aisles of the hall is a well known one......any you remember???

  Heard one told about a elder/brother that was doing some unJehovah-like things but keeping it in the closet. Well brother so-so was giving a talk and Jehovah felt the need to let other elders know that brother so-so was doing some shady sh*t on the DL. So while brother so-so was giving his talk he started speaking in tongues but didnt know he was speaking in tongues because Jehovah was letting everyone else know that he wasn't right. I guess he was disfellowshipped or something. Never heard anything else about it other than the warning that Jehovah will bring to light anything that you are sneaking and doing.......This did kinda freak me out and I always wondered if Jehovah would secretly put a tattoo on my forehead that I couldn't see telling everyone I was having premarital sex....

  Karategirl, your post sounds very similiar to the same situation I went through.

  I graduated #7 out of my class and was sent letters from colleges all over asking me to come there. But nooooooooo I was needed out in the pioneer ranks (and needed to clean stinky funky ass houses with my stepmom and her ideal JW job....HOUSECLEANING)....and my goody goody two shoe ass did just that....Now I'm trying to go to school and earn a degree and its difficult but not too difficult as to where I can't do it...But I constantly sit back and think about where I could be and what I could have avoided in life if I wouldn't have been under the JW brainwashing treatment.

  I also find it hysterical about the Christmas dinner at the Brooklyn Headquarters. Can you imagine being there to see that!!!

  Actually, I do believe there are photos of this. I've seen it in one of the publications, not sure if official or "postate

  Leoleia this can be found in the Jehovah's Witnesses Kingdom Proclaimers book(large green book)...I don't remember exact page or anything.....They put this along with one of the things they used to celebrate but they received the "New Light".......

  JWs and voting. Is it okay now?

  by NikL in

  2. friends

  i know there has been lots of discussion on this issue in the past year but i have been unable to find it.

  i need to know where to find the questions from readers that talked about it being okay for people to vote if their concience allows.

  i brought this issue up with a couple of people, one a rank and file dub and the other an elder.

  I voted today for the first time....whoohoooo!

  I actually felt more liberated by doing so...Going into the booth (for only a second) I thought about Jehovah sitting up on his throne looking down on me saying,"Bad, Bad girl." But I felt much better after casting my very first official vote at the age of 27...I was actually thinking about not going...But what the heck..My single vote counts...And if complaints come about after the election is over..I can voice my opinion because I voted..Unlike the dubs that bad mouth all whats going on, but do nothing about it to change it.

  Jesus said Ceaser's things to Ceaser and God's things to God...IMO voting is just paying doing your duty to Ceaser...Just like you pay your taxes which NY doesn't because of the "big tax evasion" but it's all a part of living under the authority of the ones that Jehovah has given the authority to....

  Thats just my 2 pennies

  The only thing I'm sorry about is that I ever got baptized as I mentioned before.....I'm not sorry I ever got df'd because that was the only way I found freedom...but just "certain" family makes me upset....It just makes me sick that all the ones that have been "around" the truth most of their lives but never get baptized and do whatever the hell they want to are still welcomed with open arms...Not saying that I'm an angel...but I don't do half the things that my dub family probably thinks I do...Just because I choose to live indepently and not show deep repentance (like they want me to) I'm labeled as rebellious and unloving because I won't tuck my tail and cater to the JW's rules...Even my half-way out the door himself dub dad wants me to come back...for what??? I've just been really frustrated with the whole situation lately and I chose to vent here...sorry
