  Insane Email From My JW Mother

  she starts out with some banal stuff about where they want to move, etc, then, she launches into this:.

  that brings up something i wanted to tell you in person but itseems that i am not going to be able to do that very soon.

  i amhoping to throw some light on what has happened within our familyesp during the time we were over there.. it has become very apparent to us now that during that time period from early spring on, in 200[x], satan launched an all-out attack on our family, son.

  All these letters from witness family have similar themes, bad things happen, but they are just individuals causing them and of course Satan. Deep seated fear and guilt are mixed in with their true love for you ! The love part is normal and real.. the other things are implanted by constant meeting attendance... that becomes their whole limited reality !

  This idea Satan is attacking is implanted...

  From the outside it seems paranoid and confusing....Seems she thinks the Devil is attacking your

  family

  and causing you to think the way you are

  Healthy Boundaries

  by rebel8 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  healthy boundaries.

  you can say no or yes, and you are ok when others say no to you.. you have a strong sense of identity.

  you respect yourself.. you expect reciprocity in a relationshipyou share responsibility and power.. you know when the problem is yours and when it belongs to someone else.. you share personal information gradually in a mutually sharing/trusting relationship.. you dont tolerate abuse or disrespect.. you know your own wants, needs and feelings.

  How many lives have been RUINED by the Organization? Experiences?

  by BonaFide in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think that some people deserve to be excommunicated, such as pedophiles.

  but what about the tens of thousands of others that have their life wrenched out from under them by being disfellowshipped?.

  and what about those that have a family member that died because of not receiving a blood transfusion?

  is her ability to DISCOUNT the personal experiences people have had associated with the WT organization,

  I find that unsettling.

  If you can read the pages and pages upon pages, years of accumulated writings........... of what people have been through associated with the organization

  One of the most hurtful things to do to a human is for you to invalidate their heartfelt feelings !!!!

  Bitchy women at work..."hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!" Why girls?

  so at work we had an middle eastern family get alittle upset due to a long wait, i think their culture tends to raise their voice a bit, their child was sick and they were worried, waiting for medicine.

  while calming them down, one of the staff ladies is jumping in from behind under-cutting my calming speech with her interference....i asked her to back off.. well the women i work with did not like me "reasoning" with them witness style, oh no!

  they wanted me to throw the mum, dad, child, mother in-law, out on their ass.

  Comments that we know what we're getting into from the get go... make me sick, so many things are glossed over, or
  as I was told... "We'll learn more about that later". Well guess what, later never came until it was too late.

  Wth regards to disfellowshipping, marking etc...'"full disclosure " upfront would be the loving thing to do.. but this would

  overide a more pressing and prime objective of "power and control "

  Men judge us by the success of our efforts. God looks at the efforts themselves. ~

  Reniaa how do you feel the WT. feels about the term "age of legal consent" How do they feel about the terms"

  age of majority,"" age of criminal responsibility" or the" marriageable age."

  Is it right to hold the mind of a 13 0r 14 year old to a lifetime of consequences for poor decisions ? Surely even you know that you can't walk away from a witness baptism like you would quiting a job ? Who is being the unreasonable one here ? When is comes to "age of responsibility" whose view is most distorted , harsh and unloving ?

  Girls, when did you change your hair style and length? Or haven't you?

  after turning 50, i'm getting tired of lengthy blond hair that i can't take care of on my own.

  just cut off 2 inches and it still doesn't feel like it use to...... soft and luxurious on it's own.

  it takes untold chems to still feel soft, and the ends are constantly a problem.

  I like women with long hair.. but then again there's reasonable limits to everything right ? And these aren't it !!!

  (these aren't all my words but I agree with them ! )

  I find very few women with short hair where I don't find myself thinking, "Wow she'd look SO much hotter with long hair."
  
  I also hate it when women go to "dress up" for some event, and pin their hair up in silly buns and such, when they look SO hot with it down and flowing over their shoulders. But what do I know I'm just a man ! I don't have to wash it and care for it~~Cal
