  What Was The Silliest "Offense" That You Were Counseled For?

  by minimus in

  when i was a teenager, i was told by an elder that because i smiled a lot and was known for my good sense of humor, that i should come across as "more serious".

  so before i was appointed a ms, while in my late teens, i transformed myself into a much more "serious" brother.. were you ever told that you needed to work on something that you knew was stoopid?.

  i started my fade a the beginning of 2015, took counseling form a psychiatrist, and worked hard to get my family away from the cult.

  my marriage split and i now live alone with my 15 year old daughter.. she came to me last night and we started talking about jws.

  she told me that the subject they are discussing at the moment in philosophy is "cults".

  It is great you are right.

  The split with my wife is a sad thing, because a growing teenage girl needs her mother. But then a growing teenage girl is better off without a JW mother being around. The two do have contact, I make sure of that.

  I am please for you that both your kids are now out.

  J.W. Women Should Stop Wearing Mascara!

  the wtbts/ org dictates to its subservient followers what constitutes a bible truth/principle and what does not.

  example: it-1 p. 319 birthday - ".....there is no indication in the scriptures that faithful worshipers of jehovah ever indulged in the pagan practice of annually celebrating birthdays.

  the bible makes direct reference to only two birthday celebrations, those of pharaoh of egypt and herod antipas.

  Maybe this can help you with your son.

  I started my fade a the beginning of 2015, took counseling form a psychiatrist, and worked hard to get my family away from the cult. My marriage split and I now live alone with my 15 year old daughter.

  She came to me last night and we started talking about JWs. She told me that the subject they are discussing at the moment in philosophy is "Cults". The kids were given a handout on how to identify a cult, she read the list to me and with every point she looked at me and said "That fits JWs".

  She does not want anything to do with the cult, but never wanted me to talk about TTATT, so I never did, until last night. She asked very specific questions, which I answered. We talked about the money grab and the financing of the cult, and she then encouraged me to watch the "Ice-cream" video released at the convention this year. This is what really surprised me, although she has never been on any kind of forum discussing JWs or talked TTATT with anyone but me, she said that the GB are trying to get the ice-cream money from the kids, and I should watch the video.

  I am really proud of my daughter.

  I am sure there are many kids out there who have come to the same conclusion, but are trapped any cannot or are afraid to say anything.

  so when you first found out specific facts about the organisation, how did you feel??.

  the un membership.

  the way 1914 was calculated from pyramid measurements.

  I felt very betrayed and I felt like a fool. I was very sad and I cried like a small child after realizing how much of my life (29 years) I wasted on this cult.
  

  How could I have believed that for so long, just like LITS I kept the blinders on like I was told to.

  Now the blinders are gone, the amount of lies and hypocracy is incredibly. And it makes me sad to see how many people are being misled. It cost me my marriage. I am out of it now and my daughter is out with me.

  I just heard something that disturbed me. A youth has to fill out a form from the bOrg that he wants to be an unbaptized publisher.

  No, this was not the S-21 form, it must be something else.
