How Dare The Organization!!!

by minimus in

jw
friends

how dare these people!.

they pretty much force you to pioneer, not pursue a good education, become a "servant" to their whims!.

they don't want you accepting overtime at work because stupid meetings and door knocking is more important.. they accept pedophiles in their midst more than they accept anyone that questions their authority!.

They should keep discouraging their followers to have children. No one deserves to be born into that cult!

So Caitlin isn't ignored as the other kids pass Valentines at school

by cabasilas in

i'm getting my education degree this year and am working in a practicum placement in an elementary classroom (5th grade).

it's a very practical way to see first-hand how teachers teach, discipline and help mold their students.

one student is a jw.

Being a born-in with an over-zealous mother, I can still feel the pain of being left out of holiday celebrations. What a kind teacher! One thing that a few teachers did for me (and my mom allowed it) was during these holidays my teachers would give me a little gift or treat and they would specifically say it wasn't for the holiday but for a "job well done" and etc . . That always meant a lot.

Why the F do JW's even have kids??!!

Do Ex-JWs have reason to be disgruntled?

by sabastious in

everytime i have ever told an active jw about this forum and described it's designation they all, in essence, say the same thing.. they say that we are nitpickers, that we are all just rubbed the wrong way and can't get out of the state of disgruntlement that we have allowed ourselves to enter.

some throw in supernatural elements some just stick to human imperfection and call it murmurings.. these kind of assertions highly imply that our anger is exaggerated or misguided; that we don't have all facts and are drawing highly speculative conclusions.. as participants on this forum how do you refute such a claim?.

my first thought would be to point out that "murmurings" is what created the watchtower to start with.

RebeccaChi

Everyone born-in has the best reason to be disgruntled! Nothing like being born into a cult. All of those who thought it was difficult sitting through the boring, never-ending meeting as adults try and imagine what it was like for a five-year-old.

Carolyn Jessop

by mamalove in

when she was on oprah some years ago, promoting her book escape, i was mesmerized.

(for those of you who are not familiar, she was a member fo the fundamental mormon sect and broke free).

i went to school and had worked with mormon's in the past, so i was intruigued.

RebeccaChi

Yes! I read the book Escape by Carolyn Jessop and could not put it down. It reminded me so much of the JDubs! (Loser men who thought they were Gods, young marriages, stupid rules.) I recently googled Carolyn in hopes to find an update on how she's doing, but could find nothing. I have so much respect for her for seeing through the religious crap and risking her life to save her children from the cult. I strongly recommend her book!

Btw: I really wish the government would have put all those children in foster homes a few years back during the raid! Those poor kids!

Mistresses??

by diana netherton in

what are your thoughts on them?

would i be a simply terrible person if i became one?.

RebeccaChi

Oh God . . . . . so naive . . . . . I need to slowly step out of this topic. While in school I worked at a martini bar which happened to be 5 minutes from a strip club. Believe me, these girls do a lot more than "just take their clothes off".

Strippers are trash. Please don't suggest that to our Ex-Jdub friend. Many are hookers and crack whores on the side. Stay away from that crowd.
