Getting even with the WTS after leaving?
by greendawn inafter leaving the jws did you do anything to exact some revange from them, such as giving a public talk exposing their real nature or discouraging an interested person from following them, or even bringing members out of the cult?

I never did anything to try and get even or anything, but I did talk to my older sister about what a crock it is. But maybe that was a mistake since she is still in and no longer will talk to me
That does happen a lot. Sorry to hear that.
Well I am still in but I make sure I recycle at least 30 pieces of literature each month (books, magazines from the lit counter and all) I figure I am doing my part if I am able to keep at least some of that crap away from the hands of the innocent.
Too far-fecthed?

Parent-Teacher Night in DUB land: Are you guilty of embaressing your kid?
by stillAwitness in.
i remember my mother making sure she showed up to parent-teacher night with the dub brochure on education in one hand and the latest issue of the wt/awake in another.. she always made sure she mentioned to my teachers that "my daughter is one of jehovah's wittneses.
forget not being allowed to stay in the class while they passed out birthday cake and played christmas games-i was even pulled out of the class during sex-ed my first year of middle school!

in the case of youths, come develop a measure of spirituality at a relatively tender age, while others take longer.

The CO was bragging about how his daughter (the same age as me) kept nagging him at 8 years old that she wanted to be baptized but he did not think she was ready.
Then he heard a talk that said his behavior was supposdly "holding back his child" from Jehovah.
Riiiiight. So I suppose Jesus was held back all 30-something years before he finally took the plunge?
I was dipped into the brooklyn pool at 14. I cried the night before all night and vomited three times during the baptismal talk (in the bathroom of course) I felt like I was being raped that day.

I'm all for the bookstudy! I really want to sit down and dive into this book since I have been hearing so much about it!
jgnat best thing to do is maybe plan a set time and day for the bookstudy each week and maybe send a weekly PM to everyone involved when its close to the date.

THE PURPLE TRIANGLE! Would you force children to watch it?
by vomit inone of my worst memorys as a child, just before my mother was bapthised was when her study conductor had the idea of everybody watching the "purple triangle" together.
i was about 11, i didnt want to watch it from the outset and a few minutes in, i really didnt want to watch it.
in my nature i hate anything to do with violence, 20 years later i still feel watching that at such a young age does not build positive effects.

I'm a scuker for anything having to do with death. I cried my eyes out when I saw it and have never wanted to see it since.
I read an interesting article about that whole 'purple triangle' issue. Many scholars believe that Hitler had nothing against the DUBS except for the fact that he just throught they were weird if you will. That's why he allowed them the option to not even be in the camps.
Yet, we all know the Society likes to insist that Hitler was "attacking our faith" and all. When really, its been said that Hitler just thought they were quacks.
