my mother started studing with the jw's when i was 2 years old.
she became more involved with the organization over the next few years.
i was very young so i don't remember much about my early years in the jw's.
Hi there. It's nice to meet someone who has also found a 'home' in Catholicism. It is a beautiful faith, I think. With room for people to have a close, close relationship with God, starting from exactly where they are, no matter where that might be.
Your childhood sounds so awful. Like many of ours. I'm so sorry.
I'd want to know what makes them think they're exempt from the laws of the land and how they got that idea.

"It's our JOB to make excuses for people who can't control themselves. Because we can't control ourselves, either".
"Feelings? What d'you mean exactly?"
"We're terrified of psychology and psychologists"
"We were once TERRIFIED of smurf dolls"
"There's a lot you don't ever have to see if you just pretend it's not there."
"Yes, the GB do look like a group of perverted boy scouts from hell."
"Our religion was actually started by a man and is less than 200 years old".
"I don't actually know very much about the Bible."

We ALL look clean and innocent. You just can't really tell, can you?

Probably, you shouldn't leave any of your kids near us.

"I believe in the Watchtower more than the Bible"
"I believe in the GB more than Christ"
"I believe in the WTS more than God"
"I like a religion that lets me lie"
"Of course I'd lie. And not feel bad about it either. God wants me to lie."
"Guilt? What's that?"

"Well....actually, this big whoopdy-doo name, Jehovah, was invented by a Catholic Monk a few centuries ago, why?"

"Yes, you're right. This heartless religion makes no sense at all. What was I thinking?"
since so many are vehemently opposed to jehovah's witnesses, if it was in your power, would you simply outlaw the witnesses?
Absolutely.
Without question.
The things they do should not be permitted in a civil society.
If they choose to continue to operate as criminals, there are other organizations whose job it is to address that.
But it should not be with our blessing. We, as a society, should have no role in 'condoning', 'blessing' or even 'permitting' their atrocious and criminal activities as if they are just simply 'exercising their constitutional rights'.
They are not.
If we continue to do nothing, we are also guilty in allowing many, many, many innocent people and innocent children to walk the long JW plank to their many, many deaths - physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and psychological.
Route out the top and the rest will take care of itself.
i am awaiting some material on how to free yourself from cult issues, and mind control.
i was wondering if any of your have read any good books on this, and if you find it has helped in your recovery after leaving jw?.
i am sure that the wt is not god's organization and all that goes with identifying myself as an ex jw.
You may enjoy a book, "Rediscovering a Felt Presence of God".
