Fresh Newcomer

by Yondaime in

hi guys, my name is yondaime,.

my will to remain in this relgious sect is fading, i'm about to be a freshman(just turned 18) in college.

, i have seen so many terrible things happen to good people in this cult and i'm sick of it!

Welcome. I left and went to college too. Had two pedophiles I knew in the congregations. You are on the right track. When you get into college, make friends with the counselors and let them know your situation as a JW. Just in case elder dad goes all JW on you, they are the best people in the know to set you up with tuition money, grants, jobs, etc.

I could have my children be absolutely afraid! Young and feeble minds are easy to scare. If I yell "Boo" or tell them there are "monsters under the bed", or "ghosts in the hallway", they'd be absolutely histerical AND THEY WOULD CLING ON MY ARMS. Even my older one watching Shark Week, doesn't want to go to the beach this weekend. Despite the fact that shark attacks are very rare. She had to sleep with me last night.

That's exactly what the WTS does when it fearmongers. I bet you donations, attendance, and preaching will go up now. Religion was meant to control the masses, and fear is how how most religions do it. The WTS and hard-core Islam do it best.

Honestly, my JW mother, father, and grandmother ALL lived in absolute fear as JWs their entire lives. It has led to emotional issues and prescription drug addictions (Xanax) . . . they blame the world. They don't see the WTS as whoopping up the fear.

40s (war & Witness prosecution)

50s (rock & roll & cold war & bomb)

60s (hippies, cold war, bomb, sex, birth control, abortion, Rolling Stones, and Cuban missile crisis),

70s (divorce rates, rioting)

80s (materialism, cold war, AIDS)

90s (Gulf War)

Y2k (they stockpiled food, barrels of wheat, barrels of water, and hoarded money)

and 2000's (9/11 and war on Islam)

and 2014 . . .

The WTS has been installing fear of the outside world for decades.

To the song "Happy", renamed "Wacky" (Wish Wierd Al would do this for the JWs)

Because I'm happy wacky
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof window
Because I'm happy wacky
Clap along if you feel like happiness wackiness is the truth
Because I'm happy wacky
Clap along if you know what happiness wackiness is to you
Because I'm happy wacky
Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do

If the world is going to end, why does the WTS need to be real estate moguls?

I realized I've been *hit on alot

by skeeter1 in

about a month ago, i realized that i didn't really care about my still-in jw family.

i just want to be left alone by them.

they caused me so much grief.

Ok, went for a walk. Grounded myself in the present by feeling the ground underneath my feet. Going to have to feel the ground for the entire day. The biggest mistake I made was to not get off the phone quickly enough. BIG mistake on my part.

Update. Like clockwork, I get a call today from my male DNA donor ("father").

All is going well, until he starts to brag about how stable he is and crazy my mother was. He decides to have blocked out all the beatings and violence he did, including killing a pet bunny with his bare hands, and to deny that he went for mental health help. I decide that I'm not going to dwell on his violent past, but I'm not going to let him skip over that he did get help. I even went to his psychologist on one visit, and remember it vividly. I was about 14 years old. He went for weeks to this shrink, and afterwards never physcially beat me or my mom again or killed animals. He now states that he only went to get my mom help, and she wouldn't go. He absolutely denies that he went for any help himself. He says that she was the one who was completely messed up. Not true, as it was BOTH of them. She didn't throw the punches or make the black eyes. HE DID! My mom just rode his ass until he blew up. I can only rationalize say that he is very guilty and his mind is blocking it all in order to cope. I tried to tell him how I remembered it all and was proud that he went for help . . . . and ...... he hung up on me. That's a blessing. Now, it's upset my day. I am going out for a walk. I just want to cry. I just want them out of my life.
