remember when parents would brag about kicking their kids out if they did want to serve jah or if the kid got dfd and the father didnt want to lose his position in the k-hall and threw the kid out?.

remember when catastrophes would happen to other people/nations and jws would laugh about it and consider it just part of the last days?.

I am only relating this to MY family so as not to offend anyone. Please keep in mind my family is made up of PO's, reg pios, aux pios,MS's, and anything else I have forgotten--(please excuse me it has been 11yrs since I was "in"), but even to this day my family is made up of these titles.

I remember when---My father bragged that he could keep me in line all the time--(he didn't mention that he severly beat me to do so)

I remember when--In field service my lack of tolerence to heat was ignored--(I was heat sensitive and I live in TX, but me falling to the ground was getting attention in over 100 degrees of heat)

I remember when--I went to the elders (my father was an elder and the elder body--all but 2 were related to me) and told them about the beating I was given for biting my fingernails(I still bite them now), I had up to 36 licks with a leather belt--pants down at the age of 14(fully developed by this time).

I remember sooooooooooooooooo much I would be typing for days, but yes I have to say not all JW's are like this. My family was REALLY hard core and had to set an example in the cong--so me and my sis paid a high price--all in the name of Jehovah.

I remember why I left at 15 and got baptized at 14 to get df'd. 9 months later I got my wish and my first concussion.

JW's mean??? Yes some are, well I think most are because of the way they follow the GB's wishes. Not all are this way, but by the hard core--"spirtually strong", the ones who aren't hard on their children---maybe not to this extent---but they are considered "spiritually weak".

Valis, I'm NOT a wimp (Tattoo)

by LB in

jw
friends

yep i took lots of heat from valis for worrying about my pain threshold but i went down today during meeting time and got my first tat.

it's a hawaiian tribal turtle.

it wasn't painful at all, maybe because of the location but it did burn a bit.

Jesika

I must say I am not big on turtles but that looks cool!!! I love tats and have had about 7 myself--touch ups, cover ups,etc--so only 4 show--but I love getting tats no matter what!!! Nice to have a new member in body art LOL!!!

Looks great!!!! Take care of it and keep it out of sunlight untill it heals so it doesn't fade!!!

Love,

Cards/Notes for Shunned Father

by Simon in

jw
friends

we met lawrence (shunned father) last month in canada and one thing that hit us was how 'alone' he was now that the wts and ther zealots have turned against him.

i'm sure he could use some support right now and to know that he isn't on his own even though his local support may be a bit light.. if anyone in the uk would like to send lawrence a card or note then you are welcome to send it to us and we will forward them on to him.

just email me or angharad ([email protected]) and we will send you our address.. anyone from other countries is welcome to do this as well but it will probably take a bit longer.

Jesika

I just sent a card online. Thanks for the address.

Smoke gets In Your Eyes.

by Englishman in

jw
friends

i was just wondering, how many of us here took up smoking after we left the witnesses?

i have to admit that it was just about the very first thing that i did when i finally received that sumbeam of enlightenment that jw's were simply not anything special.

i drove out to a country pub, bought 2 panatellas and a half of red barrel, and spluttered my way through my first cigar n' pint.

Jesika

I started smoking when I was 15 (that is the age I was df'd). When I was 17 I was puffing down 2packs a day!! I only smoke maybe a half pack (if I am not drinking) or less. I do smoke more when I drink. I wish I hadn't started though.

Sexual Offender in my hall.

by PandaJ in

jw
friends

so my wife calls me and says, "my mom told me there is a sexual offender in our hall, but she won't tell me who!".

i have a small child, so i obviously want to know.

her mom tells her a website where she can search for sexual offenders, www.criminalfiles.info.

Jesika

I agree that you should put flyers up and the info from the site that you found him on. The other parents need to know to protect their children also. You can't ruin a reputation that he has already soiled himself by having this type of craving for young girls. If the case went through court and the court found him guilty then I would believe it with no doubt. The legal system has professionals who know the signs of abused children. If they were lying it would be very hard to fool these people with made up stories.
