  What did shunning do to you?

  by hillary_step in

  there can be little doubt that the wts 'shunning' policy is a dangerous weapon.

  each year tens of thousands of people are disfellowshipped, and experience the reality of being shunned.

  many of them still believing the wts doctrine that if they die in this condition they will shortly be executed by god at har-meggedon and die an eternal and disgraceful death some leaving the faith altogether.

  I am still wondering why I was never shunned....I stoped going to the meetings and never even got an elder's visit...I celebrate everything and speak bad of the society, I'm a full blown apostate, (looks like my dad don't want to rat me out) yet when I met JW, they smile and say hi....Puzzling...

  It wouldn't have such a great effect on me, since only my father is in, and I didn't have friends at the KH. It would probably not even make a difference...

  question about deja vu & precognition???

  by manicmama in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have a question to anyone out there that are practicing wicca and/or are interested paganism.

  a little background on me....as a little jw i never bought into the religion, however i had no choice on the subject as most of you can identify with.

  when i was young, probably till the time i was around 14-15 i would have extreme deja vu.

  Well, not many people have this talent. So all I can say, is "Use IT!"

  I've been very interested by this subject and am planning to make some serious research on deja vu and precognition. All I know is that my father used to explain the phenomenon to me by saying that it was some kind of brain freak-out. It didn't make any sense to me, as I beleive in the paranormal. Of course Wicca and similar religion beleive in this, but I've never seen it explained. In the old time, you and your daughter probably would have been considered priestesses or conselors of some kind.:P Nothing keeps you from doing the same today.lol Cultivate the gift, meditate with a lighted candle, things like that. You might be surprised at what you can acheive.

  Women, Women, Everywhere..

  by Englishman in

  seriously, there are more women dubs than men.

  lot's more as i recall.

  why would women be attracted to join such a chauvinistic, patriarchal and mysogenist religious group?

  Hmmm...yeah, it was like that at my KH too. A lot of young girls wanting to get married (we all have urges, don't we?) and like, three or four marriagable guys. I looked at it all from afar and it made me desperate, I'm not one to fight for a guy's attention....no way. Most of the girls, though, had been raised in the truth...so what has been said might be right...nads problem...lol

  If I recall well, the other women were single mothers or middle-aged singletons who needed the support. Also, many submissive wifes.

  Woa! That sucks....lol. At least when I received stuff, be it from grand-parents or (rare) friends at school, my parents didn't say anything about it. (I got offended/sad looks from my dad...yeah.) but they didn't freak out. If *I* had done anything though, I can only imagine the humongus guilt-trip from hell I would have got from dad. Sheesh. Discreet control.

  The first memory I've got about being a Witness kid is in kindergarden, it was a girl's birthday and they brought her a big chocolate cake. I knew I wasn't to have any, but I was the very shy type of girl, so all I could do was start crying and when the teacher asked me why I cried (she was really puzzled, everyone was happy, of course) and I said I couldn't eat the cake, she thought I was allergic to chocolate or something, because I wouldn't tell her why. It makes me so mad to remember that...a 5 year old kid should feel guilty and miserable over a birthday cake.

  No, my parents weren't strict...not really, my mother was never really convinced and was a JW mostly because of my dad. (She's out now) But HE....he was more into guilt-triping us into obedience. Reading us bed-time stories from the yellow book EVERY night! How I hated that. I always wished that just once, he would read to us something normal. The thing is my dad was very nice to us, so I felt very bad at the thought of dissapointing him. I followed every rule and JW principles out of fear of making him sad.

  But I just hated it all, I suffered through boring family studies and endless meetings for 20 years before I dared to stand up for myself. How many times I have looked at the clock desperatly, waiting for something to be over. I was in a bad mood every Tuesday and Thursday and Saturday night enticipating the meetings...and every Friday night because I knew we would go door-to-door on Saturday. Not a happy teenager, all in all, and very alone.

  Oh! How I wanted to be abble to make a Halloween pumpkin, or a christmas tree, jus once! Needless to say, I don't miss one Holiday or birthday now. Nor a chance to completly decorate my appartement!

  are JWs allowed to shave in the under regions?

  just curious, since they control how we dress, how we're suppose to fuck, how we act.

  I can't beleive some JWs would talk against Tampons! What the F***?! They sure never did in my cong! For God's sakes! It was my time of the month when I got baptized! Don't they think about that? What? Do they want sisters bleeding up the pool's water or something? As if the whole ordeal of getting donked isn't traumatic enough...

  i was forced to go over to the hall near my house to pick up my g-mother in laws wheelchair for the assembly.

  she keeps one there that reclines for when she goes to the hall (usually once a year or so!

  ha) anyway she needed it so i had to go get it!

  Hmmm...I remember physically being there all through the boring meetings, but my mind was wondering the whole time, just like they constantly advise against. lol I would make out these little movies and stories in my head, being the imaginative person that I am. Some of them quite innapropriate about cute elder's sons and such. Naughty!lol

  Do you have any 'holdover' beliefs?

  by AllAlongTheWatchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  after reading and responding recently to a post about eating pork and clean and unclean meats, and also a few about newfound freedoms and pleasures that some enjoy now that they are out of the jws, i got to wondering if there is anything like that on the flip side of the coin.

  in other words, despite you leaving the wts, is there anything you still believe that they taught, even though you left or were forced out, and no longer believe the rest of the jw doctrine?.

  i was never a jw, but i was raised in a rather similar group called the worldwide church of god, many of the controls, strictures, and abuses that i saw as a child there, i see posted about here-though they are different, they are also the same.

  Like someone already said, I'm trying to eliminate each and everyone of these beleives, one by one. Like one would do with phobias.

  I have great fun preparing and celebrating every Holiday, even researching and giving special emphasis on the pagan roots of most of them. What fun!

  I also love wearing "pagan" jewellery, be it crosses, anke, pentagrams, moon, godesses, angels. I collect them, and love to wear them around to show that I am completly dissociated from this group. This also goes for decoration around the house. I have many statues of different beleives. Like a Bastet cat-goddess statue and Chiromancy hand with all the lines written on it. I love when my JW father comes to visit...lol

  I tried smoking pot just for the hell of it, but I just don't like getting smoke in me, so it's my choice, not just something imposed.

  I love reading everything and learning anything I choose to. I have absolutely no regret about it.

  Heck, I can even watch porn without feeling guilty.

  The ONE thing that clung with me, like many of us said...is of course "Harmageddon". I'm working on getting rid of this one, but it's the hardest. At least, I figured that if it ever was going to happen, I'd rather be dead anyway then live on forever with those freaking Jws...What a horrible prospect.
