  i heard that word used to describe being raised a jehovah's witness recently.

  it made me think and put things in i think there proper perspective.

  anyone who was born/raised a witness or even those who came later who were lured by their words are truly victims.

  I recently told them I felt sorry for them because they have wasted their whole lives in this religion. My father pushed me physically out of the room and told me I was a horrible apostate, and I am fulfilling bible prophecy by ridiculing him.

  To the question what bothers me the most:
  
  
  What they do to their children. They seperate them in schools, they prevent them from having a childhood. They refuse to allow them to think independently. They in some cases and in mine encourage them to not pursue schooling and secular goals and focus on being a pioneer, ministeral servant (for guys), exc. And then completely shun you and disown you and let you die without ever even considering talking to you. And my father even hopes I die so that i'll make it to the new system. He wishes my life will end as soon as possible so that I wont die at armaggedon. I have sick parents, I'm angry that I was raised by people who are mentally sick.
  
  
  How can it be allowed to do this to a child. It's unbelievable.
  
  
  Yeah - am I really angry? hahaha. Yeah, I've tried to let it go. But it's hard not to be when you have to fight and struggle for every little thing morsel of life because your childhood was nothing but nonsense, pure utter nonsense.

  I heard that word used to describe being raised a jehovah's witness recently. It made me think and put things in I think there proper perspective. Anyone who was born/raised a witness or even those who came later who were lured by their words are truly victims. I consider being fed this down my throat. Allowed to drop out of high school to pioneer. To never having the ability to express independent thought without an insane amount of fear and guilt till 19. To then get disfellowshiped and have to start over with my whole teenage years being in the skill of jehovah's witness preaching. That skill doesn't correlate to jobs. Being allowed to get baptised at 12. And the list goes on and on and the story is similar for thousands of other people. I consider ourselves victims of a crime that isn't tried by courts. But because of freedom of religion there is no crime for what jehovah's witnesses do. They cannot be punished by the justice system for ruining children's lifes. Although I couldn't live in a place where they didn't allow you to believe and think whatever you want theoretically. At the same time I think it's a complete shame and attrocity what Jehovah's Witnesses do, destroying lifes every day and nobody thinks anything of it. It's hard for me to wrap my arms around that one. A victim of Jehovah's Witness has sometimes no where to turn. We should be able to go to the police and have them arrested for doing what they do. I just hate fucking jehovah's witnesses. We are all victims, are lives serverly affected by this cult! Jonathan

  Crazy Californian Witnesses...

  i dont know if you guys noticed or not.

  but there is a general consensus among my friends and some witnesses that i talk to that there is something almost inherently wrong with californian witnesses.

  I grew up in Santa Monica, CA - and went to Santa Monica Congregation, there were congregations called party halls. I had friends in the Valley who all got df'd at around 16/17 for orgy like stuff. I think this may have to do with being surrounded by a very liberal and sexually free atmosphere. But everyone still got disfellowshiped including myself for sex. So I don't think I've ever heard of it being allowed - it's still considered wrong to do down here. Jonathan

I'm recently disfellowshiped and I was born and raised in Santa Monica, seeing who else on here is from around here? :-) Thanks, Jonathan
