  Born-ins (childhood memories)

  by tornapart in

  2. experiences

  as a born in, or in at a very young age, what were your worst memories as a young jw child?.

  i remember not being allowed to go to sleep in the meetings when i was tired.

  not being allowed to do lots of things at school other kids could do.

  Bad memories...having to explain to the teacher why I wouldn't be saluting the flag....being scared if there was a bad storm while I was at school...'cause it might be the start of Armageddon... Being picked on...6th grade was the worst...for my religion... Having to keep classmates at arms lengh because they were worldly. Having to refuse invitations to BD parties and dances....I was the only jw in school from k through 11th grade. Finally when I was a senior, a jw family moved into my town.

  Good memories

  8 day assemblies... Yankee Stadium.. The smell of the oudoor cafeteria..and the pushing crouds... made me nauseous as a kid. After the sessions there were sidewalk vendors with snocones!!! Loved that. JWs. in native dress from around the world... We always stayed at the Commodore Hotel...

  My mom always took a group of kids to the local museums and landmarks between sessions. Specific memories...Plymouth, MA, New Bedford, MA

  Dad was always in charge of the Sound dept...so I got to go into areas of the assembly site that others didn't get to see. I thought that was pretty kool.

  Watchtowers taped to the inside of car windows so you could wave to others on the way to assemblies...made it seem like an adventure.

  So very sorry you are going through this. Both of my jw parents died when I was in my 20s. They were wonderful parents even though they were jws. I can't imagine what it would have been like if they had rejected me.

  "8 Ways To Give Us Your Cash" - the desperation in the latest Watchtower is tangible!

  i know gayle has already started a thread on the latest november 15th watchtower article that mentions the article on donations, but i thought a thread with a more specific title might be in order just to drive the point home for any lurkers.

  i hope gayle doesn't mind!.

  i've been banging the drum for a while now about what i view as the obvious signs that the watchtower is in a state of decline.. i have written the following blog articles on the subject.... http://jwsurvey.org/cedars-blog/branch-closures-and-fire-sales-a-growing-trend-for-the-society.

  Question? Do you know of any “statutory rape”, or “Child Molestation” cases handled as “Consensual sex “(fornication) by Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Judicial Committees?

  by Balaamsass in

  i was talking about this with the mrs., and we can recount at least half dozen cases in the last 20 years of adult j.w.

  men having sex with teenage boys or girls.

  not only were the police not informed, but also the victim was treated as a guilty party in fornication.

  Video from the Dublin Convention of Anthony Morris III releasing the Sparlock DVD

  by cedars in

  i've just uploaded a youtube video showing the moment when anthony morris iii released the sparlock dvd ("become jehovah's friend") at the special convention in dublin, ireland.. here is the video, which is part 1 of a series of videos that i intend to release entitled "getting to know anthony morris iii"... enjoy!.

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ene8hbfj1pi.

  anthony's remarks aren't all together that interesting in this clip, although he does relate a disturbing story of a two-year-old girl who was allowed to watch the dvd eight times in quick succession.

  So they want to protect children from a toy..... but they refuse to protect them from the pedophiles in their midst.

  Thanks everyone! I feel so very blessed to have all these precious souls in my life!

  Ros, Ali is still juicing, and is doing so well. She had a recent hospital stay after a lung infection...she is very sensitive to any kind of infection. She overcame it pretty quickly though... and in the process, they discovered that she is sensitive to gluten and sulfur. So she is having to revise what veggies and fruit she uses in her juicing. She is feeling so much better now...and is riding her bike daily 4 to 5 miles. Her dr. says that her heart is functioning at an almost normal rate. So glad you are having some success with juicing!

  Moshe... can I have some cotton candy....please?

  I just realized that I didn't post a pick of Zoey in which her face is showing... So...here she is!

  It brings to my attention to be thankful that the Surgeons, did not wait on

  the New system for her to be healed, and learned their skills

  She had a blood transfusion as well. Her jw grandfather tried to make her feel guilty about that... Aubrey let him have it....saying you wish I had died instead of having a blood transfusion?

  Ali, who is the mother of David and Aubrey and Chase... who has been through so much the past couple of years... diagnosed with end stage congestive heart failure and cardiomyopathy... but is doing great!

  I posted the second picture earlier on another thread.... Aubrey, almost 14, who survived a terrible accident 3 years ago.... You would never know it to look at her now...but she shattered every bone in her face.

  I'm going to visit Ali, Aubrey David and Chase in Florida in about a week. Then David is flying back to MA with me. Can't wait!!!
