Women are COWS!

by JanH in

when a girl reaches the age of puberty or physical maturity, her.

body has developed in the matter of sex more than in the mind.. young folks like to be together, first in groups, later in twos.. if they have not been instructed by their parents in regard to the.

permitted, because the female is not in physical condition to breed.. the bull seems to understand this and keeps in his own place.

Are elders claiming to have psychic powers these days?
I was under the impression that god only could read hearts!

Maybe they should re-title your disfellowship sentance to 'body language that portrayed an attraction for person of opposite sex-other than your husband'
But that would be admitting that it wasnt a sin but only human attraction.

just 2 cents of me!

Hello ,Ive made a few posts in the last month and have enjoyed everyones stories.So I thought I had better intro myself.JI,doesnt describe my personality at all as I have never been one to 'rock the boat'thats a skill Im hoping comes with age.I actualy chose that name as afriend of mine was called that, for going to the Elders about another Elders more than fatherly affection for a number of sisters he was 'helping'.

Anyway I am the middle child of three,and mostly grew up in the (truth).My father studied, and came to meetings for years to please my mother.And when he realised nothing pleases her he quit!

My mother says my father was so controling that he caused her to be anorexic.I know better now as she was the one to use religion to control us.

To skip some sordid details,my Dad left when I was 13 after being separated on and off for most of thier marriage.This left us all heartbroken especialy the stories my mum told us of how dad 'treated' her.(which I have now taken to be distorted truths)So my brother grew up very angry and protective and I didnt talk to my dad for 3yrs.

I decided to become the perfectJW,to try and get love and approval from my mother.Thus it was my sister and I who requested to be taught witnessing and my sis also learned sign language to use at meetings and witnessing.

I was baptised at 14 and in all honest intentions toward worshiping jehovah.During this time i suffered from illness we supposed to be glandular fever,this lasted on and off for three years so my school life was hardly worth mention.But that wasnt important anyway as my mother trully believed we wouldnt have use for education anyway in this old system!

Our congregation was a power struggle between elders with'personality differences' as I have seen and heard happens in many congs..
Seems to be a popularity contest to me!

We were severely effected by the rumers, gossip ,and cliques.
And as I associated with witness girls in school this was very hard to get away from ever.Girls can be so cruel and although it was years ago It still hurts.

My mother soon got sick of being the faithful single sister,and had a fling with our Realestate agent!They didnt do the dirty deed ,but a sister saw her out with him and told the Elders.During the investigation Mum started smoking again(she hadnt smoked in 17 yrs)and she was given so many days to stop..which she didnt achieve so she was disfellowshipped.

My sister and I kept going to meetings for a while and then fazed out without even being noticed.Mum went to meetings for a while but they refused to reinstate her until 18mths as she had to be an example to the cong,even though she had stopped smoking.Mum was so disheartened, as this was life and death being decided so she stopped going regularly and found herself a toy boy.

My sister and I did the rebelious teen thing..so mum moved out and left us to it..in her house.We were pretty much looking after ourselves at ages 15 and18.

My mother is once again trying to be reinstated.But the saga of her life continues as she abuses alcohol ,and has a3yr old to deal with.

Iwent back to the meetings two years ago and saw the same things as before within congregations.I also was shunted between people I studdied with and just when they though they had me again I found out about Bethsarim and other things the society kept hidden.I asked the bro I was studying with and he wouldnt even go there as it was appostate!

I also didnt like being told by this bro to keep dragging my man along as he looks like he will follow whatever I do.He was falling asleep at the meetings,and I decided if he hated it that much i wasnt going to MAKE him .Or my daughter.

So im at the point where im starting to wonder if spirituality rests inside yourself or your soul(ask oprah).But that wont solve the problems of the world, and what if something happens to my daughter4 or son8mths?(knocking on wood for luck)
I do wonder if i would need religion then for hope.

Anyone have the answers??

thanks for listening to that load of my mind peoples!!

Are JW women repressed in the org?

by Tina in

jw
friends

in another thread titled why?

in the beliefs and practices forum,.

i have an exchange going on with another woman.

jezebel influence

A distinct memory i have that sums up the respect given to younger women during field service in my cong at that time was when I was about fifteen years old.

Another female and I were in the back seat of the car,with an older(30ish)brother driving and a brother our age also in the front .They were discussing which street to turn to get to where-ever,I made a comment such as isnt that up about two blocks that way?

The older brother looked to the young bro and said "is that alittle birdie I hear in the back seat?"

Obviously my direction had scarred his perception of his own manhood!

Truthfully at the time it didnt worry me,as JW women eventually develope a thicker skin for this sort of put down.

But you cant tell me that it doesnt eventually tear down the self esteem of a woman to be constantly treated this way.I would love to go back in time and give a few people(elders included)an earfull for thier sexist and derogoratory comments to me and my family!

Anyone selling time machines out there?????

Tales from the Couch

by Seven in

i asked my therapist if it is possible for a patient to be re-traumatized during the course of treatment.

confronting memories over and over again.

painting mental images even more graphic to replace the vague ones i once had-is this a good thing?
