Extremists and kids.

by kwintestal in

there's no question that adult extremists target easily influence kids to carry out horrible acts, such as suicide bombings, and encourage these kids to become "martyrs".

the jw church is no different, encouraging their kids to be martyrs like was done in this magazine : .

these kids, usually in their early teens are obviously taken advantage of by the church.. what i'm wondering is, has anyone done a published study regarding the effects of extremism on kids and how they are mentally unprepared and vulnerable to make the desicions they are?.

Mind Control and the 'BOMB' Surrogate/Displacement Rage

by DannyHaszard in

cult mind control and the 'bomb' surrogate/displacement rage among jehovah's witnesses

summary: .

when members of an exclusive, mind controlling group are forced out of the group as believers, or walk away as believers, something happens to them that affects everyone around them.

it has nothing to do with anyone but with your what your heart tells you come on truly think about it it is the most hardest thing to be a witness i can say that cause i have tried for years they dont hate but if you do drugs and you quit and someone you hang around with comes around and push and push you will eventuly give in some times we have to be the smart ones and walk away from that person same thing we can not push the blame only look at our selfs

Discipline or Child Abuse?

by Dimples in

i remember spanking my son when we used to attend meetings and conventions because he cried and just wouln't sit still.

i was told that he had to be disciplined so he would learn to behave and learn what was being said from the platform.

now that i look back i realize that that was child abuse and i feel so horrible about it.do you feel guilty for spanking your kids during meetings and conventions?

My son at 4 years old was very smart not with letters and numbers but with jehovah at christmas time we would drive bye houses with lights and he would look at me with his big beautiful brown eyes and say mommy we need to go and tell them the truth and we would be in stores and people would say are you ready for santa and my lil boy at the age of 4 would look at them and tell them there is no santa and they would say yes there is i still belive but my lil boy with so much pride would look at them and tell them i know there is no santa its mommy and daddys it made me so proud and him i love him so much and he would never go to bed without preying first his father was very abuseive and we divorce one night my son was flipping out so i call his father to talk to him to try to get him to lay down and he told him i did not say prayers with him thats why he would not go to bed !!!!!! my son and daughter at 4 and 2 died in a car accident 1 month later !!!!! i have the hope of being with them in a beautiful pardise earth where i wont have to worry about them having all this hurt and pain in there life they will never have to go through what i did i use to leave the kingdom hall crying because i sat in the bathroom most the time and my lil one would not sit still for a min but that was the one thing that my son could always count on and i could never be more thankfull to jehovah for giving my son and the peace to his heart !!!!!! jehovah bless us with thease childern to rasie not other people its so easy with the world today to pass your child to someone one else and say ok you watch them while i learn instead of learning together were teaching our childern that there is something besides this horrible world that has nothing good in it the end might not come for another 1000 years but my childern will not have to suffer if i could ever get my stuff together me and my childern will be together again in a much better place

this lil stuff will no longer exist before me and my babys stop celebarating holidays i explain each and everyone to them and my 4 year old understood and we would still do special things when i could afford it so i dont belive that is child abbuse i belive that this world is getting worse and rasing childern with NO rules and counsiquences FOR EVERY ACTION THERE IS A REACTION AND EVERY CHILD SHOULD LEARN THAT FROM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE OR PEPOLE WILL GO AROUND DOING WHAT EVER THEY WANT WITH NO CARE AND NO COSIDERATION TO OTHERS AND LIFE THAT IS WHY MY BABYS ARE NO LONGER HERE WITH ME I THINK IT IS CHILD ABUSE TO RASIE YOUR CHILD WITHOUT KNOWING THAT THEY WILL HAVE TO PAY WITH THERE WRONG DOING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
