  Thanks for the updates...please keep us posted. I think we need to keep this thing going. It's that

  important. The GB has really crossed the line here.

  the various media outlets, etc.?

  Growing up forced to listen to this kind of crap, I really feel for the young

  people that are now facing what I did. It was bad enough have the Bible

  Story Book thrown in my face and reliving the scary memories of that awful

  orange book, Paradise Lost to Paradise Regained. Although I left when I

  was 18 (SOME YEARS AGO) I still bear the emotional scars of the

  mind controlling rhetoric thrown my way as an impressionable child. I can

  only imagine the damage this video will instill in young people since it's so

  closely tied into what should be fun, harmless, childhood entertainment.

  This organization has literally taken away everything that children find fun,

  playful and amusing, and replaced it with fear and guilt....fear and guilt that

  these children will carry with them their whole lives, even if they manage to

  break free, like I did.

  I wish there was something more I could do. If there is, let me know. I just

  am very disturbed at this, so much so, that I couldn't sleep last night.

  Cedars

  You ought to send that link to a few news forums, like Huffington.

  I think it may get some coverage.

  Still annoyed. I wish I hadn't seen it. Ruined my day.

  Poor Caleb..he hasn't a chance at a normal life with his obsessive compulsive clean

  freak mother and Arnold Schwartzenegger like father. This has to be classed as

  a form of abuse. Also the point brough up before about the consequences..good

  one. The end result of not listening to your parents is VERY overplayed and

  dramatic.

  Make me wanna hurl.

  Last year I took a bath in my dog's flea and tick shampoo thinking it was my bath gel.

  I thought it smelled a bit funny, but I didn't realise it until I was drying off.

  "You will live where you are told to live!"

  one of our most dogmatic, authoritarian elders at the congregation i used to attend made this comment.. .

  the wts has beat the drum of absolute authority so long and hard that the idea of free will, or even the notion of a god who might take in to consideration the wants, likes, and desires of his own people has been strangled out of the jw psychology.. .

  in one of his talks, brother that's final informed the congregation that it is pointless for us to engage in speculation about how our lives will be in the new system.

  I can just see the "official letter from Jehovah."

  Dear Brother and Sister Dubbie:

  Jehovah has blessed you with an assignment where you will be of the most help.

  Please report to the Australian outback as soon as possible. If you need to reach

  the GB, please write to them in Hawaii, where they're now serving with Jehovah's blessing

  as well... :)

  A co-worker over a chair. I switched the chair in one of the courtrooms that didn't suit her (rather larger)

  posterior and that was it. She thew a fit and I just mentioned how sophmoric the whole thing was.

  The next day she was standing at my door telling me that I was making her look bad, etc., so I got

  up and told her that she didn't need me for that job and I that I had enough of her bleating on and

  shut the door in her face. She still continued to talk so I switched on my fan.

  Any more fond (not so) DC memories?

  by outsmartthesystem in

  my oldest child was barely 4 months old and not an easy baby.

  she cried all the time....and getting her to sleep during the day was a pain.....especially in a facility that was 80 degrees with a/c.

  on sunday afternoon of the dc....knowing we had a two hour drive home (she also didn't sleep in the car well).....i went to an "off limits" area with her.

  Did you used to be an assembly food rapist?

  by yourmomma in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i confess proudly that i was one of the biggest assembly food rapists when it switched to the donation arrangement.

  in fact, i would roll up to the counter with a fake list and pretend i was getting food for a huge family, lol.

  "uh, yes, hello sister, what a fine morning program that was, may i please have 6 roast beef sandwhiches, 6 chocolate puddings, 6 apple danishes, 6 sodas....etc" and i would eat throughout the entire fking program, as it was so boring there was nothing else to do.

  I seem to remember my parents having to get some raffle ticket looking

  things to get that nasty food. I can't eat pudding or cheese danishes

  to this day. UGH
