My daughter hated me and her dad
by thenoblelodge ini was told yesterday by my daughter that when she was younger she hated me and her dad.. she wasn't beaten, she was allowed to play with friends other than jw's, had parties, always had kids round to play, jw and worldlies ( i hate that term).
i could go on.. the reason she hated us was because we encouraged her on numerous occassions to stay in the borg.. what i find so distressing is, i cannot believe the power we had over her.
we kept her going in something that was killing her mentally, emotionally and physically and all the time saying 'don't take it out on jehovah, it's not his fault, don't you think he knows what's going on.

The Witnesses are freaking out
by Sour Grapes ini still go to a few meetings a month just to keep members of my family happy.. the witnesses seemed to be getting all worked up about how close the end.
it sorta feels like the 1975 era only 35 years later.

The toleration of evil and the issue of universal sovereignty explanation fails
by gubberningbody inof course i should have seen it right away, but i had two tickets to paradise, so i was willing to ignore all the things that didn't add up.. .
things that don't add up if jehovah has even a shred of morality:.
you don't tolerate evil for generations because you have a bet with the devil.. .

Fighting the Cult of the Watchtower Good or Bad? Does it Give Your Life Some Meaning?
by frankiespeakin inever since i left this mind control cult i have continued to offer resistance in what ever ways i thought good at the time.. but i'm faced with the question: is it good or bad idea?
or how far should i go and to what lengths should i go in my efforts to fight this cult?.
i think being a jw for 29 years has defined a large chunk of my life and to just try to forget about it may be a big mistake.
