Ouch - those are the sort of things that puzzled me - along with making the rest of creation suffer for the sins of Adam - I could never comprehend why we were all put on trial..? In our Society, the children of criminals are not punished for the crimes of their fathers.
We are 'made in God's image' - yet as a mere imperfect mortal, I would put an end to suffering in a heartbeat if I could, so how can God just stand by and withold His ability to intervene? (do you think the same..?)
I imagine your father had no answer for you and took the easy route of 'labelling' you in order to end the discussion.

I didn't even give 'demons' any thought (just thought they were fictional beings in fantasy films) until I heard about them at the Kingdom Hall (as a child).

Speaking of 'League Of Gentlemen' - there's a new series started called 'Psychoville' written by (and starring) two chaps from League Of Gentlemen (and very much in the same vein) - anyone seen it...?

The "They Are Imperfect" Excuse
by LouBelle indoesn't it just make you sick to your stomach?.
dozens of doctrine changes that effect the lives of the rank and file: the fds are only imperfect men and didn't understand the bible truths at the time.. pedophiles that are protected or not reported and allowed to stay in the congregation: these men are imperfect and this sin isn't unique to jws.
the organisation has it's problems just like any other...they are not perfect after all.. all their prophesies - failed: the fds are only imperfect men and have never claimed to be a prophet.. i am truly sick of this overused excuse.

If you know your imperfect the don't make grandiose claims.
Exactly - making the claims the WTBTS makes carries a GREAT responsibility. They can't just play the 'imperfect' card every time they're wrong. They have taken on the responsibility of many lives, and the decisions of all who trust them.

Totting up all the people I personally KNOW to be (or have been) on long term medication for 'mental problems', I can only think of one NON JW, compared to 9 JWs.

Do english JWs miss having a thanksgiving even though only people in america celebrate it?..
Nope - when I was a child I wasn't even aware of 'Thanksgiving', and I bet most English kids today only have a vague understanding, if any (it has nothing to do with our culture - just as the Americans/rest of World are totally indifferent to our 'Guy Fawkes' night), yet I was surrounded by kids celebrating Christmas (which is 'hammered' into kids from October onwards via TV etc) and birthdays - both of which are part of ENGLISH culture. Outlaw - the one thing I do recall, is being denied Easter eggs, and I was given money in lieu of. I would sometimes buy myself an egg so as I really wanted one.

When I read stuff like this, it makes me think they know EXACTLY what they're doing
by Mickey mouse inthis article must have passed me by before (taken from the "jws and shrinks" thread).
now i understand the mechanics of cult mind control, i can see precisely why they make the statements highlighted in bold.
it does make me question whether the governing body are cognizant of their use of mind control.

"...many others with no professional qualifications practice without supervision as counselors or therapists.
Just as Elders 'counsel' with no formal/professional qualifications? Yet JWs find this perfectly acceptable...the WT claims to hold the remedy for 'depression', yet counting all the people I know/have known who have suffered/do suffer from any kind of 'mental illness', the JWs FAR outweigh the non-JWs.
