How can Jehovah's Witness kids relate to this kind of constant public humiliation? constantly, week in, week out, til life becomes an absolute living hell misery.
Then there was that booklet, Unseen Spirits, Do They Help Us Or Do They Harm Us? At 12 I was so freaked by this study material I was having regular night and daymares, my mother even stopped me from attending the meetings, imagine the confusion weeks later on being returned to the meetings, this material still being published in essence by the same guys.
I say it is absolutely criminal the way that JW kids are forced to grow up without a choice, without a sense of positive self worth, without real praise, with so many beatings and constant humiliation. What do they think they are playing at?
I could rant on all night, but over the years have learn't much more about peaceful relations, on connection to the inner soul, of facing ones demons and telling them to f off.
After I left, I spent the first summer of '95 in a bit of a daze and then rapidly downed as many drug cocktails as possible and in effect danced the anger right out of my system. Yes I know, I'm one of those absolutely crazy contorting dancers that can easily do 14 hours at a stretch, hahhahaha.
Now, I work voluntarily with a well respected UK think tank in issues relating to Social Exclusion, kind of strange life really, when I look back.
Would still love to connect fully by positive pro-active doing my life's goal, I'm narrowing it down, conflict resolution appeals as well as the design of alternative community spaces and designing sculptured acoustic water gardens.
Keep enjoying life!!
