Those next years are fraught with every type of "spiritual" peril and the person facing them all is just a kid. My parents never had to face any of that, and neither did my wife's, as they came in as adults.
Being born in is the worst, isn’t it?

Fox Has a 3 Part Series on Hasidic Jews
by minimus inyesterday they started a three part series on hasidic jews living mostly in brooklyn and new jersey and how they take advantage of the system and at the same time rule with an iron hand for bidding the use of modern technology, smart phones, tv etc .
if you think the witnesses are bad, take a look at them.
they ostracize you and kick your children out of their schools and treat you as nonexistent !

Scratchme— l read an article reporting on the experiences of a young Hasidic woman in the US.
Unreal
To minimize physical contact ON THE WEDDING NIGHT the newlyweds made contact through a sheet with a hole in it.
The rabbi checks the woman’s undergarments to ascertain the woman’s periods. The married woman is to shave her head and wear a wig.
How true is it? I would have to read more. Being born in to these crazy religions!!!

Pretty extreme.
As sparrowdown said— sad and rather ironic that this sort of oppression of human beings that is perpetrated by a religion exists in the home of the "free."

Why Do People Oppose Jehovah's Witnesses?
by BlackSpirit injesus christ, the son of the most high god, jehovah has this to say: "if the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.
if you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own.
now because you are no part of the world, but i have chosen you out of the world, for this reason the world hates you.

Check out Black Spirit ‘s member profile.
I submit that the Organization has broken his/her spirit. This is a person who has gone over the edge. They are in trouble.
edited: I didn’t know if it was a violation to post the member profile on the thread so I took it down. But you should see it

Revelation 14 says that Jesus brothers (and sisters) follow the Lamb where ever He goes. These haven’t slept with women ( meaning “religion”so the Wt teaches) they are spiritual virgins.
Thr Organization betrayed that descriptor when they became a Corporation and required the 144,000 to be obedient to the GB thus nullifying the relationship of Jesus would-be Anointed who were not of the GB. Now they were obliged to follow the Org. Their independent relationship to Jehovah and their relationship to Jesus was over. They effectively were nothing different from the great crowd. You don’t get to cultivate that great love for God when you answer to men. Poor things, they only take the emblems as a sorry reminder that they sold out. You can’t serve two masters.
There is nothing to say to you, you were turned into a man worshipper. You should be ashamed. And you believe you are humble. You pridefully broke the rules to come here.

Jehovah’s Witnesses stand in the long tradition of persecuted new religions. The list is long.
There have been the Quakers, Puritans, Cathars, Huguenots, etc. even Catholics. People who at different times have suffered and died for Truth as they understood it.
The problem the witnesses face is what happens in religions all the time. The rules take over and before you know it you discover you are following a man. In the case of the Witnesses a committee of men.
If you think that persecution is the measure of the true religion, then take that up with the FDLS. Their leader Warren Jeffs is in prison and his followers are persecuted too. Persecution comes easy if you break up families and develop a reputation for caring for the protection of pefophiles over the welfare of children.
Those words from John 15 heartened some of us to leave the ranks of men followers. “Those who are cowards and without faith” says Revelation. Some of those scriptures cut two ways.

Jp—You may be collateral damage in the clean sweep that took down blownaway’s OP . It speculated on the wanking habits of the GB .
You just might’ve had your mouth scrubbed with invisible soap, ol’ buddy.

Bandicoot— In India the men do not let Muslims do most of the rapes. Along the Pakistani border perhaps but the overwhelming problem is just a long cultural abuse of girls and women that has become worse. The victims are primarily from the lower caste . It seems mostly Hindu men are the perpetrators.
