  Any Tourettes syndrome in your congregation?

  by fade_away in

  2. experiences

  a huge number of jws have mental illnesses.

  i knew someone with a schizophrenic disorder and he would occasionally forget/refuse to take his pills which made for some very embarassing moments at the meetings and on service.

  he would come to our house claiming he is jesus christ in the flesh and would get upset with anyone that didn't believe him.

  i have a relative who is now about 73 is a really cool, smart old guy a paul newman look alike who has led an interesting and successful life, traveled the world and raised a large family.

  he was raised as a witness by his mother whose husband left the family when she became a witness.

  many of his siblings and relatives have gone on to be circuit overseers, gilead grads and bethelites but he left the truth when he was in his teens.

  Wow thanks for sharing. What a burden he had to carry as a boy. Definitely a survivor.

  Was there anything different about you that helped you escape the WT?

  for me i know it was because i was a reader.. i began reading books at the age of 13, this was in the 1950's.

  because there were some serious family problems i had two escapes i could count on reading and associating with my friends at the kingdom hall.. as i devoured steinbeck, hemingway, wolf etc.

  my world view expanded....it had to.

  I am a very strong willed person and I have always been able to think "full circle". I am very objective. In the back of my mind I knew something wasn't right. I couldn't stand the duplicity in the org. I also did not like the view on women and found it highly offensive at 13 yrs of age when I was forced to attend the meetings.

  Like many others the lack of love, the blood doctrine, the politics in the KH and I also did not like not being able to make any decisions for myself.

  when reading all of the variety of toppics on this site it appears by the lack of responses that some dont really care about your subject?

  or they just cant find the word to say, or they mosly like reading but not commenting.

  and some subjects ive read that have had many comments compared to others are just plane stupid as hell.

  I think time is an issue at least for me. I don't always have the time to comment. I usually only comment on threads that touch me personally and I can relate to or on something that I have a strong opinion.

  Slandered At the Circuit Assembly & My Letter To My Mother

  by headisspinning in

  2. friends

  on saturday, my ex husband went on the platform at the one day circuit assembly and slandered me in front of 800+ people.. my jw family is even up in arms because he basically lied and ruined any last bits of my reputation that i had left, the worst part is this was elder sanctioned.. i am really exhausted from all the upheaval so i will get right to the point.

  the following is what i sent to my mother:.

  hi mom.

  What do you get when you cross a JW with an agnostic? Someone who knocks on your door but isn't sure why they're there.

  June 15th WT - WT Society Pressures JW Parents to Indoctrinate Children

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in a non-study article in the jw only watchtower is an article titled " should youths get baptized ?

  " the wt society is losing young people in very large numbers - so how else to try stemming the exodus than putting pressure on jw parents to indoctrinate and instill mind control into their children ?

  in one section here in this article it almost sounds like a version of " 20 questions " that the wt society asks parents to determine if their children are making " spiritual progress " as they phrase it.

  There was a JW couple whose son needed to have a very complex surgery of course with no blood. After meeting with several doctors they found one who agreed to do the surgery without blood. The day of surgery came and their son came through the surgery just fine. The couple were so very, very hapy that they ALMOST celebrated....

  first invite: saw a jw in a gas station while i was eating some food with my friend.

  he invited me to the memorial orally.. second invite: it was a saturday morning, i was in the shower when a jw came, mom answered the door and talked with him, he left a memorial tract and some magazines.. third invite: found a somewhat crumpled memorial tract with a few small tears on my porch.
