  i was having dinner at olive garden with my cousin who was disfellowshipped for apostacy.

  a holier than thou pioneer couple saw us.

  if that was not enough i saw her take a picture of me with my cousin.

  What did being a JW teach you?

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  these are some of the things the wbt$ 'taught' me:.

  dishonesty is fine if it's to trick people into joining the cult.. if your spouse stops believeing, the best thing you can do is break up the family.. the laws of the governing body overrule any other laws...or else!.

  my friends are conditional.. avoid loving people, they'll only let you down or get df'd.. unintelligent dumbos are better than intelligent ones if the dumbos are elders or above.. hate is better than love.. i am not good enough and god will probably enjoy killing me.. demons will appear in my room at night.. ignore practicallity if being practical or loving prevents the leaders getting money or praise.. god hates.

  Honestly I feel that as a witness you have to attribute every good thing that you learn or ever do to the privilege of being part of the organization. You could never take personal credit for you own abilities or creativeness. The org was the reason for your talent and skills because after all you only know god and morals because of them right?

  So what did I learn as a jw?

  To doubt my own abilities and talent.

  Hell, not anymore..

  The story of my exit

  by mrsObfuscate in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have been lurking here for about 6 months, and being the last day of the year, and ready to start the new one afresh, i want to share the story of our exit from the org.

  i have found the personal experiences of others of immeasurable value, (and its been a while since a good exit story has been posted) that i hope this can be of benefit to at least someone.. .

  my mother became a jehovahs witness when i was about 9 or 10. i remember initially hating all of the new sanctions put on our lives (no birthdays and christmas anymore) but for some reason i soon after joined her in attending the meetings and eventually got baptized at the age of 14. my staunch catholic father converted a couple of years later.

  JW mother wants to send her son to a mental institute for being atheist & wanting to go to college

  by Khaleesi in

  2. child-abuse

  i am not sure if this was posted before.

  i am the mother of an 10 year old and i would have never treated my son like this for wanting to go to college, believes in evolution & is an atheist...i am disgusted how this jw mother can't see how her son has the freedom of thought or religion.... this poor kid most likely does not do drugs or is in a street gang, he just wants to go to college for crying out loud.... this is insane, just shows how a religion or organization blinds all logic from you... it's a cult..... i know there are many cult jws parents out there who would do this, its insane and disgusting.... where is the love you say you should have towards your children?

  this is straight out abuse.... read the article but scroll down for the recording.... .

  Khaleesi its impossible for jw's to accept you have a brain of your own and fully capable of making your own decisions without the 7 men in Brooklyn making it for you.

  Something has to be wrong with you. Thats the only justifiable way they can understand in their conditioned minds.

  For example my FIL implied that I was a paranoid schizo because I no longer wanted any part of the religion and also because i called him out on his blatant disrespect and busybody noiseness in my marriage and personal religious decision.

  To him, standing up for myself and talking back to a man equated craziness in the head. Its unheard of in the patriarchal religion therefore it doesnt surprise me that this woman equates her child as mental for thinking on his own.

  Its a sad reality waking up and having family still trapped in the borg mindset.
