  How did our parents do it?

  by pbrow in

  2. experiences

  how did you bury your head in the sand when something didnt seem right but you forced this religion on your kids anyway?

  i was a born in, my mother was a convert.

  ill admit, before i had kids i suppressed doubts and thought "this is as close as it gets to the truth" as soon as i had kids and realized that i now had to teach this garbage to my kids w/out really believing it was enough to get me to realize the cognitive dissonance stops here.

  I am so determined to not have my sons raised as witnesses that it's crossed my mind to have something in writing incase something happened to me and my husband at the same time about them not being raised as witnesses, because I'm sure my parents would get them and sure enough they would start dragging them to meetings and not have holidays and stuff. So that's what I'm thinking about doing, actually having it put in writing, whether or not it would hold up I don't know. I love my parents and they treated me and my brother very well, but I have chosen differently for my sons.

  This is what we've done. I have a letter lodged with my will which states that whilst my chldren could be taken to the kingdom hall, if they ever decide they no longer want to attend, this should be respected. I hve also requested that they not be baptised before the age of 18 and if they do get baptised at all, they must read Crisis of Conscience and Combatting Cult Mind Control first.

  Maybe it wouldn't be respected but I have no non-JW family so it's the best I can do.

  I hope you understand that my whole argument in this thread is not that creationism is right, or that atheism is right, but that dogmatism in the absence of certainty is wrong.

  And:

  It is the issue of dogmatism that drew me to this thread. Threads that simply argue for or against atheism don't normally interest me, because it's simply one person's opinion versus another, and I don't consider myself sufficiently informed on the subject to make meaningful contributions on either side.

  This sums it up for me. It is also the reason I rarely get involved in believer/atheist threads.

  Was The Internet The Clincher For You To Mentally Leave The Organization?

  i think it was for me.. i knew a lot of the history of the bible students, russell, rutherford and the "old light".

  .

  once i could see all of the overwhelming evidence right in front of my eyes, there was no ignoring the reality..

  I sincerely thank you Jehovah for creating Steve Jobs and the others that were allowed to go to college and create the internet.
