  JW kids and the national anthem humiliation......

  by kid-A in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for me, school was extremely stressful as a jw kid.

  the worst part had to be my morning dose of humiliation being forced to walk out of the room as the national anthem came on the loudspeakers (first god save the queen, then, oh canada).

  the other kids found this completely bizarre, and several of my "patriotic" minded teachers really resented me for doing this (despite the obvious fact i had no choice in the matter but was being forced into this by my parents).. how could anybody force this public humiliation on a small child or teen-ager, already having to deal with the normal stresses of growing up and worrying about their public image with their peers???

  ~How did/do you personally feel about the headship arrangement?~

  by FlyingHighNow in

  i feel that headship is one of the most damaging doctrines taught in the wtbts as well as other fundy religions.

  it is promoted as a way to have happier, healthier marriages and families.

  in theory, maybe so.

  What silly rules did your congregation make up?

  by weinermcgee in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  elders were famous for making up stupid rules with no bible base at all as an ego trip i guess, what were some of yours?

  i am not talking about the stupid rules that we all had to follow, just the congregation specific silly ones.. 1. having to button your jacket while on stage (this was later changed due to all the elders having a beer gut).

  2. suits only or no privledges.

  Do the Witnesses Still Go Door to Door?

  by tfsm in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have lived at my current address for approximately five years and i have not had any visits from the witnesses.

  i don't really want any but here's the deal: i left "the truth" about fifteen years ago.

  i wasn't disfellowshipped or anything and (since i moved to another state) it was a relatively clean break.
