from what i have seen, and i don't want to judgemental, a lot of jw's do seem to have difficulty when it come to making dissisions, and further to that my partner was brought up as a jw and a lot of what she has told me i would class as child abuse for example being hit around the head because she couldn't remember how to spell a word or being pulled around by the hair because she bumped into a table causing it to move, name just a few.

Raising Children In The JW Cult Is Child Abuse
by George Yurich inraising children in the jw cult is child abuse because the jw cult is the most dangerous organization on earth.
the jw cult is totally satanic.
anybody who is a jw is insane and psychotic and incapable of logical and analytical thinking.

df'd and assemblies.
by ptrehearn152 inhi newbie here, i have a question that is begining to bug me a little.
i am not a jw or ever will be but my partner was some years ago and quite devout about the religeon then she was df'd for commiting adultry with another man (not me) who was not a jw, she got divored from her jw husband and left behind her 2 boys and went to live with 'the other man', anyway over the years her relationship with her 2 boys began to grow again and now she see's them once every 2 weeks, i should perhaps point out that her ex is a devout jw, she has told me that she would like to at some point go back to the 'hall' and carry on her religeon, i said that i dont have a problem with that but, i wasn't keen on the idea of her walking the streets knocking on doors due to the amount of hatred that some poeple clearly have for jw's and the fact that we now seem to live in a violent world, yes i know that jw's have to do so much 'service work', she has told me that she has not visited a hall since her df so therefore has not repented her sins as it were but on sunday she said that there was an assembly in our local vicinity (it's the annual one) and she would like to go.
i found this a bit odd that someone who had been df'd would be allowed to go to the jw's event of the year so began to wonder if whilst visiting her sons she maybe did visit the hall to somehow show repent with a view to be allowed back into the faith.

just a quick update, the assembly has been and gone, she didn't go, i haven't shown it but i am quitely pleased, it's actually a big relief for me and maybe it's dawning on her that she doesn't need the jw way of life, perhaps this is the road to recovery!

Where did these unoffical beliefs/standards come from?
by highdose ini've been doing some reasoning about all the jw teachings i've been taught as i grew up.
one of them was the belief that if you were baptised young that it would be a protection for you.
i questioned this at the time as i thought that instead it would make you prey to opposition from satan at a young age.

i am really sorry for what i'm about to say and i don't mean to be disrespectful to anyone who has been a jw but it seems to me that jw's and the watchtower wan't to baptise the younger people because they, at that age, don't feel at that age to have the questioning right, and as individual thinking on this religion is discouraged (with regard to bible studies) i guess it's reasonably easy to get someone to think the way they do and to put the fear of god into them (literally) and as time goes by you become hooked because you simply refuse to look at any other way of thinking or translating whats in the bible/holy scriptures.

Does anyone know what they do with all the information they have on you, from the time you were still a JW?
by dutchstef indoes anyone know what they do with all the information they have on you, from the time you were still a jw?.
do they store it in a special file( the (e)x-files haha) and is there a way you can get a hand on it?.

hi dutchstef, afraid i can't answer your question, i am not, never have been or ever will be a jw but i really would like to know the answer to this one as my parnter is df'd jw, don't understand why a so called religion should have to keep records on people unless you are classed as an employee or a prisoner.

hi nelly136, i have often wondered if they have discussed this without my knowing and also wondered if she has visited the hall that is local to them but as they live 60 miles away without actually following her i can't confirm this. this jw feelings haven't come out of the blue but the wish to go to the assembly has, i suppose to some extent i dismissed her desire to return to jw life because of the seriousness of her df. as i i have said earlier she was df'd originally for adultry but she now smokes as well, she is living with me a non believer and yes we have had sex together so in their eyes she is a fornicator and a smoker so therefore i assumed that she would not be allowed back for a long time and i guess i was hoping she would eventually give up, come to mention it, last year i was sorting some old stuff out in the bedroom when i came across some upto date watchtower mags hidden in a case, i actually was very upset and started a row over it, not because she brought the mags home but because she had hidden them from me, i haven't seen any since but i suppose she could have left them at her ex's.

i really don't know whether her ex has spoken to the elders about attending the assembly with her, at a guess i would say not, i have never met him nor do i wish to but from what she has told me about him he seems to lack intelligance (i'm sorry if that sounds big headed) so i don't think he will have even thought of that.

hi and thak you all for your input so far, i know i might be going on a bit but here's another quick question before i have to go out, does anyone (jw or ex-jw) understand why my partner flattly refuses to tell anyone about her jw way of life? after all if it's as good as the jws say it is why keep a secret from our work colleques and friends, she has told me not to tell anyone about her having been a jw or her wanting to go back to it.

just been reading some members biographies, there seems to be a lot of horror stories relating to jwism, can't for the life of me see what the attraction is or why anyone would want to put up with this religion, seems a very harshly disciplined way of life to me, i was under the impression that religion was supposed to bring piece harmony and love into peoples lives not the hanging judge techniques that some people speak of.

so the chances of being reinstated after commiting adultry and living for 2 years unmarried with a non believer are pretty slim or difficult then.
