  brilliant counsel elder style

  by *Incubus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i was 14 i decided to dissassociate myself.the elder flipped and met with me and my parents.i shared my feelings about the hypocrisy that i saw in the teachings and actions of the witnesses.i was assured that i simply needed to pray more and that i was too young to comprehend the incidents which had made such a negative impression on me.. .

  then they went on to liken my feelings to a man who had a handful of diamonds but could only see the dust on them.. did you ever receive counsel that belittled the real issue?

  then you should read my book "procrastination perfection" by willdolater wings.

  only problem is, i haven't gotten to actually writing it.

  tomorrow is always a good day to get things done.

  Born in or Converted to JW? What are the stats here? and why....

  by oompa in

  can't everyone just put this one item on their profile before posting.

  it seems like most posters have no profile, but this info could help in several ways.

  i am just guessing, but it seems like more here were born in.....your thoughts on this?......oompa.

  My mom dragged the family in when I was 6.I never bought the crap.I got baptised at 12 to make mom happy.I even reg pioneered to make her happy.And she was never happy.Her family had to be the most exemplary.I had weird taste in clothes.And while I could spew the "truth" like it was in my heart,I couldnt hide my disgust with the people themselves...

  I left the day I turned 17.Had limited contact with the folks until I got knocked up.Then I was an indecent person.Havent spoken to my mother in 3 years.If she sees me out and about she ignores me.

  An elders response to pedophelia

  by DJK in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  no question, pedophelia is a despicable offense toward its victims.

  more importantly, it is a sin against jehovah!

  no jw wil dispute that.

  Its no secret that repressed sexuality creates molesters.It warps the mind,turns sex into something else.

  and destroys the victims.The dubs will never grasp that its NOT UP TO THEM to treat these people.Prayer isnt going to cut it.Faith isnt going to make it go away.And their laughable JCs wont make someone this damaged stop or change.

  From what Ive read molesters often feel guilty,especially if they were molested as children.But it doesnt make them STOP.

  Thanks Aude.

  Ive actually been feeling loads better this last week.Took some advice I was given on that abuse thread and finally confronted a lot of things.I really appreciate everyone that took the time to share their experiences and thoughts with me.

  My sister will figure it out.She s enamoured and thats her weakness.I just hope he doesnt hurt her.He might be missed.
