  *** watchtower september 1 1975 p.543 questions from readers *** .

  how many years of secular education are advisable for children in christian households?

  today, there are many teenage baptized servants of jehovah... how far should they go with a secular education?

  amen ziddina! Your are probably right about the no High School degree as my parents fought me about that. They wanted my sister and I to drop out of school in the ninth grade and not worry about it. My sister did but I insisted on getting at least a high school degree.

  I will be 50 years old next year. My parents are dead, yet I was not supposed to go to grade school, for sure not Jr high, no way high school. I was never supposed to be old enough to marry, much less have kids. Now I am old enough to almost be a great grandmother.

  How I hate this religion. If I had not been so stupid as to have listened to the religion and if I had, had kids they would have went to college screw the Watchtower.

  Cataloging the damage of the Watchower in my life

  by Aussie Oz in

  1. jehovah's witnesses interferance in my parents marriage leading to mother rejecting father who could not come at the teachings.. 2. my mother taking us 500km away from father to start a new life with a much older jw man just after armageddon didnt come in 75...for teaching us that he was evil and deserved to be killed by god.. 3. bullying at school for being a jw, resulting in only one friend all through school and learning little social interaction.

  leading to leaving early with no education beyond year 10.. 4. marrying way to young for love?....

  5. making me feel like a demon for being human.. 6. rejection by all friends and wife because i couldn't stick it.. 7. not going back to wife because of rejection, nervous breakdown by freeing wife and believing i was now doomed to die.. 8. almost leaving my childrens lives by both suicide and disapearing.. 9. wifes support by wt to force me out of their lives and for coaching her to do this.

  I do not think I could add anything to your list as it spells out exactly what I went through expect I did not have kids. OMG I just cannot even begin to understand the hell of what that must be like. I am so sorry for you and your kids.

  I too just HATE this religion and what it has done to my life, and so many others. I too tell everyone who will listen that it is a CULT and to run from them not walk when they met a JW. They are such a cult but appear so sweet at first that people will tell me that I must be wrong the JW's they know are so NICE. So many people do not want to hear it it makes me so sad.

  ... appreciated !

  as some of you know i've been logging my dreams since dec. of 2010 and am up to 184 pages worth now.

  I still have dreams also. Sometimes, most of the times I wake up so upset and I cannot remember much. A lot of them are about Bethel which is strange as being at Bethel was probably the best time of my life as being a JW though there were a lot of problems there I admit it was still the best time for my marriage and it was the least stressful times in the congregation as my husband was not being used so much. But then we did get mugged and there were tons of problems at Bethel its self. Life in this religion was never easy.

  In my dreams Bethel becomes so dark and upsetting which I do not get because in real life its not that way. The room we lived in at Bethel had more light then the house we live in now but in my dreams it is always so very, very dark. I just cannot get the lights to turn on also in my dreams I am trapped there. In real life I was not wanted there my overseer told me that to my face they just wanted my husband and I was added baggage to them that cost them money. So I do not know what my dreams mean. I have also had dreams of the elders trying to get me into JC's sometimes they win and I have to go other times I tell them to back off or else I will sue and they do, they become afraid of me and leave me alone. Those time I wake up feeling so powerful.

  I wish the dreams would stop as most of the time they are just upsetting.

  Would you go running back?

  by Nambo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if the tribulations started tomorrow, and all you knew of the bible was what the jws had told you, would you suddenly think, "they said this would happen, and it is, therefore they must be right", and go running back?.

  or would you think, "just because eventually biblical prophiesies came to pass that "they" had read you from the bible, doesnt mean they are the chosen religion, because they get all these other doctrines wrong", and know these doctrines well enough to be able to convince yourselves.. .

  replies such as "it wont happen cause its a fairy story" wont really help..

  I would rather be dead than serve that God. No running back for me.

  I agree with OTWO
