  OK, happyman you want some things that JWs consider good? OK, here they are.

  (I am going to try to think the same way a Jehovah's Witness thinks)

  How about letting your child die as the result of refusing a blood transfusion! It is OK, because the jw will see her child in paradise and the child won't have to live through this wicked system of things.

  Shunning your own child, mother or father after they have been disfellowshipped. That is OK too. As a Witness you can't be around disfellowshipped people. If you have to shun people in you own family that is OK.

  The society predicted the world would end in 1914, 1925, and 1975. Even though they were wrong we should ignore it. Because, or course, the society would never lie to us.

  If there is someone in the congregation who has, in the past, molested children, then we should ignore that too. If the elders know about it then I am sure that the molester has repented.

  And of course you can do anything that a group of old men in Brooklyn tell you is correct.

  Yes, these are all things that a Witness should really be proud of.

  WAKE UP, HAPPYMAN! These are all things that happen everyday in Kingdom Halls all over the world.

  i'm curious.

  i grew up in the borg, and had my share of friendships.

  i've noticed something, though, since i've been out.. i have many more real friends than i ever did as a dub.

  coffee_black, you are right! My family first learned about the jws when I was 8 and I left completely last year at the age of 27. In all that time I never, ever made one true jw friend. I tried making friends with some young jws, but most of them were either hypocrites or snobs. The only real friend I had was not a witness. Since I have left I have made some new real friends. Friends who I can count on and will be there for me no matter what!

  In real life I tend to be shy, but stern when I have to. I don't really show the way that I really am. Sometimes I am moody and get anxious in social situations. On a few occiations I have acually left social functions, because my anxiety level was so high. (Not a good feeling.) Here, I say whatever I feel and I don't care what other people think! I feel free!

  cruel?

  2. experiences

  i remember going on field service with a pioneer sister then afterwards she asked me to accompany her to look in on one of her studies, i said yes and ended up in the house of a really nice indian lady.

  my friend had offered to take this lady's daughter off her hands for a while and take her down the park so off we went - nice summer day, we sat while the little girl played on the swings and slides, we brought a bit of food and went back to the park to sit down and eat, as we were eating, the girl started talking about armageddon.

  the conversation was getting along nicely - little girl slowly being succesfully brainwashed...... the poor little 8 year old girl ended up in tears - she was scared of the earthquakes and didnt want to die, she didnt want her mother to die, and even though she believed they would both be together in paradise earth, her dad would die and stay dead, nothing my friend could to cheer her up so i coaxed her into going back on the swings and all was well till it was time for her to go home and the tears started again when she told her mother of her concerns.

  Oh man, does this sound familiar. My parents became jws when I was also 8. I remember most of the stuff about armaggedon scaring the hell out of me.

  This definately does scare little children. It fucked me up bad.

  I hope that this little girl can get out while she can.

  Not if, but when...

  by teejay in

  i was raised in the truth.. it was about six weeks past my fifth birthday when my mother was contacted by "jehovah's people" and a few months short of my sixth when she got baptized a half year later.

  that was the summer of 1962.. because of my experience with the truth from such an innocent age when thought patterns were first being formed, one of the tricks that was played on me one of the lies that was passed along is that some of those of my generation happened to be among the most fortunate of all of mankind since some of us would never die.

  if i did my best; if i tried hard enough and did everything that was within my power to do; if i found favor with the most high god, i might well be one of those who'd never taste death at all but live right through this world's end into a global paradise.

  Xena, I agree with you. I still believe that there has to be some sort of higher power, but what if there isn't? Do we live and die and that's it? That's what really scares me! That one day I will close my eyes and that will be it.

  If that is true then I will live my life for today!

  DINKY, welcome to this board! Yes, most of us know what you have gone through. I hope you will enjoy posting. For me this site has been priceless. To talk to ex-jws like myself and hear their stories has really benefited me. I also went to Apostofest in Dallas about two weeks ago. It felt so good to let out everything that I felt was wrong with the society and not worry what other people think.

  Enjoy yourself. Bye!
