  The scandalous effect of JW childrens literature. Why not investigated?

  by jambon1 in

  i can only imagine that in some jw children, the effect of the lessons taught and visual 'illustrations' can be mentally destructive.

  some of the pictures in relation to armageddon are imo 'too much' for a small developing child to take.

  it surprises me that the authorities have not investigated and put a stop to this form of mental abuse in children.

  Restrangled,

  I, too, had horrible nightmares every time and some other times that my mom would study with us kids out of that stupid book and later the red paradise book. I swore that everytime I woke up but my body didn't that I was being attacked by demons. Didn't know I had a sleep disorder where I woke up but my body stayed paralized as if asleep. It's a stage of sleep where your body protects you from acting out your dreams. I would run crying to my parents room afterward and we would all pray together to get the demons to leave me alone. So stupid!

  I forgot about that one! When I threw my service bag and all of mine and my kids' litter-ature in the dumpster. That is a biggie!

  When you can light up right outside the doors to the mall and not care if JWs see you as they walk in. You even say hi to them and ENJOY the looks on their faces. I'm not to that point, yet, but I'm working on it. Wouldn't it be brazen if that was "hall" instead of "mall?" Ok who has done that?

  You willingly skip a meeting to do something fun and actually enjoy yourself without any guilt.

  My Best Friend's Wedding. I'm Julia Roberts, of course. It describes my love life: non-existant but hopeful then hopeless.

  Hillary step,

  It became fashionable to outwardly demonstrate our individuality by getting tattoos, not identical tattoos and not in the same places on our bodies. You know, when people stop getting them, we will still be in good company as sooooooo many are presently getting them! We won't be looked at as odd because tattooing is hundreds if not thousands of years old, anyway. Funny thing about tattoos is that they are NOT permanent as they can be modified, covered over at anytime with any design imaginable. After 38 years of having an empty "canvas," I finally added some color to it. I'm so happy with it.

  Purplesofa,

  I would assume that the kind of tatttoos being removed most is drunken tattoos, gang affiliation, and prison ones. It's really easy to cover over them with a really cool non-gang tattoo. This isn't Japan where anyone with a tat is assumed to be affiliated with the Yakuza. But I do see your point about permanence. I just don't think it's that big of a deal, that's all. I have had no regrets on anything I have ever done except for not doing college before starting a family. See, there are so much more important issues out there in life than worrying about a pesky old tattoo.

  Rosalee,

  You believe that getting body modification causes/leads to "an accident waiting to happen." There is a weakness in your theory: It doesn't explain those who get body modification that DON'T become tragedies/accidents. You theory is weak. There are many more reasons for the decision to modify one's body: Art being the biggest one for those of age and past the rebelious to parents stage in life. I have piercings and tattoes for outward expression of ART. I am 39 and had my first body piercings and tattoo when I was 38. Not all are headed for doom. Oh yeah, and I am a senior in college with a 3.6 GPA. All of my body art can be concealed for professionalism. Body art for me is a communication with society. It says that I am fun, liberal, I like myself, no fear of commitment, open minded and accepting of all kinds of people without judging them. Yes, body art says that. Everyone uses clothing, hairstyle, jewelry, and make-up for that, too. Why not body modification if one is mature enough to make a life lasting decision? If a tattoo is a real problem use stage make-up. Easy solution. No big deal.

  Chris Rock makes me laugh so hard I cry.
