  brutalized toddlers

  by little witch in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  does anyone remember the advice from from the stage, encouraging mothers to remove babies from the room when they were hungry?.

  how about, wooden spoons to beat toddlers into submission, preferably in front of the congegation, as to set an example in disipline?

  was this just in our hall, or was it from the borg?

  I was smaked for any reason you can think of: not raising my hand enough, taking too long in the bathroom, getting up too much to go to the bathroom, etc

  I remember the wooden spoon in my mom's purse when we were out in field service and during the meetings too. I remember the pinches under my arm that left brusies cause it was on the inside of my arm where the skin is very thin and if I jumped or said ouch too loud I was taken outside for the "real thing" and then got it again when I got home for making them miss part of the meeting.

  Ok, enough memories.

  Wow Lin I didn't know it was Debbie--my other aunt--sheesh small world. I wonder why she just didn't email us about it. I am glad Bill was able to help out, he emailed me about it today and said it was taken care of within 30min of the email going around.

  Dino---so you know the Thoman "empire"? I am a Thoman also. I grew up in the white rock cong and that is where I was df'd too. Which Thoman's do you know??? You probably know my Dad he was an elder there and so was my uncle. My grandfather was the PO there for many many yrs.

  It would be amazing if I knew you went I was younger. Did you attend White Rock?? You can email Lin privately and she will forward the message to me. I can't put my email out because of viruses and it is my boyfriends pc he uses it for work alot. I don't mind talking about my family on the board--but if you want to not disclose who you are and who you know out in the open I would definately like to talk to you about it.

  MY PROBLEM... do any of you all remember.....

  by biblexaminer in

  2. friends

  my posting name might be familiar to some out there.

  actually, i started on the old h2o, and i came over here with many on the board a long time back.. do any of you remember what problem i had??.

  well, if you do, don't post anything about it -as the "problem" shouldn't be discussed here where just anybody could read about it.

  I have no clue as to what you are talking about since I am new here and never was on the H2O board.

  But congrats on the progress you have made--whatever it is/was.

  HOW PERCEPTIVE ARE YOU?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  people make the world go round.

  there are a number of very sharp people on this board.

  when we interact with one another, we learn what makes us tick.most that are here are either out or on their way out of "the truth".through experience, we understand the pros and cons of life.

  I was 15 when I was df. So I was VERY gullible when I got out--to a fault and had to learn almost everything the hard way. I still find myself to be gullible to certain things because of this upbringing. I hate it!!!

  Those 'Mean' JW's

  by Larry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  remember when elders took pride in dfing someone - like they got a notch on their judgmental belt of righteousness?.

  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?.

  Granny Linda,

  The popular saying that comes to mind is "I am not crazy everyone else is". Do you think that sums it up?? Even when things SHOULD make sense--to them they don't. *rolling my eyes*

  I understand about the alcohol, still struggling with it.

  Love,

  Valis, I'm NOT a wimp (Tattoo)

  by LB in

  1. jw
  2. 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.
