Just finished reading 'The Crucible'

you know, by arthur miller?

well, it's a big deal for me because when i was in school i was assigned to read it, and my mom put a stop to it, going so far as to write a note to the teacher explaining that i couldn't read it because it had witchcraft in it.

there was a bit of back and forth with the teacher over that.

Of course it depends upon what part of the world in which a jw lives, but I can easily see this play being forbidden by the elders. SD-7's mom may have objected to the references to magic in the play, but the Watch Tower higher ups who instructed her to object had different reasons. I think they were trying to hide from the obvious comparison of the legalism in the play and the organization.

Early in their careers: Music thread...

by FlyingHighNow in

some groups were just better, earlier in their careers.

for others they got better as they moved along.

the beatles got better and better.. but for others like rod stewart for example.

hi guys,.

i call myself a lurker, but it's really been a short time since i've known about this site...it's only been five days.

i discovered this site while doing personal research on the topics of porneia, oral sex, and mutual masturbation, and found a thread on this site about it.

Welcome! A fade should be easy once you graduate and start a new career. You can find a job and move away. In the meantime, read Steven Hassan's Combatting Cult Mind Control before releasing any snippets of information to your family. There's a particular way to awaken those under mind control.

I've emailed Cedars my comments from home just as I posted them on the blog last night. I don't know why my ISP would be associated with spam.

When you are DF'd or DA'd, they still keep tabs on you...

by MC RubberMallet in

In my experience, the only time I was contacted after being df'd was probably because my mom learned of my new address and asked the elders to contact me. This was prior to the internet being widely available, so I doubt they found me on their own, as my last name was different, I was in a state different than the one I was df'd from, and I'd moved several times.

They never bothered me again after the initial visit, because I told them that my current husband would more than likely use physical force against them. He really, really, really doesn't like jws.

Getting it off my chest.

by Tamasin in

hi all, i have been a "lurker" here for some time and feel like i want to share my experience in the hope that it relieves me of dark thoughts i can't shake.

i was "brought into the truth" by a guy, he had to let me study with a girl of course but always had me ear marked to preach in bangladesh one day.

fyi this is a guy who was disfellwoshipped many times and once shaved his head and sent it to bethel apparently it's something to do with some form of repentance in the bible or something?
