  Fairy tales - unsuspected effects on children?

  by Spectrum in

  2. relationships

  19 years ago

  a couple of years ago there was an article on tv discussing the possible negative effects that that fairy tales can have on children especially girls.

  i don't remember it very well but basically they were saying that fairy tales, especially the ones that involve beautiful girls or princesses, put unnecessary pressure on little girls from a very young age to have to look pretty if they are going to get their prince charming or do well in general in real life.

  it makes sense because it seems to fall under the category of conditioning and it's easy to condition children.

  i have a friend who backed out of scientology way back when hubbard was still alive.

  we go to lunch together quite often here at work.

  we have often commented about the great similarity & difficulty between breaking away from wt and from the scientologists.

  i was born and raised a jw.

  however over the last year my husband and i gradually have faded away.

  Governing Body Subhumans: Merry Christmas

  by 144001 in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  19 years ago

  having recently experienced the trauma of watching a loved one proudly refuse blood despite being told it was medically necessary and that refusing it would be extremely risky, i realized exactly where i stand in life.

  in addition to my childhood being exploited and made miserable by the watchtower cult, that same cult now threatens to take loved ones from me via the blood policy.. .

  so, on this day after christmas, i am raging mad, and i want to express my christmas wish for the governing body, the subhuman gristle responsible for this illogical and despicable blood policy.

  i posted this in another forum and i was advised to repost it here as well, so here you go.

  the is the first time i've posted in a jw related forum since some years ago when i was an ms, or really made any comments to any former or current members outside of the immediate family.

  although this may not be the appropriate subforum for it, i'll explain just a bit of my own history because it relates to my own conclusions as to the topic here at hand.

  WTS vs Quotes: Requiem for a Research Web Site

  by Quotes in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  19 years ago

  in compliance with the terms of a settlement agreement, my information and research web site, http://quotes.watchtower.ca, is now "dark".

  the domain "watchtower.ca" has been transferred to wts (i assume they will have it pointing to borg.org watchtower.org asap).

  my copies of the site have been destroyed, the files deleted, and my wt library cd has been destroyed, in accordance with the settlement agreement which will afford a "discontinuance" of their suit against me.
