Double Lives of JW Youth
by camicia ini posted a lengthy concern a while back about my 23 year old daughter on the verge of baptism.
the good news is she still hasn't progressed past studying - no door knocking thank god.
the bad news is she's still studying, attending meetings, etc and i am still very much a "satanic influence.

If she's more unhappy now than she was before she started 'studying' what does that tell you camicia?
It wont get better when your daughter is in. At the moment the girl that's 'studying' with her is getting brownie points for her time spent with your daughter 'in the ministry' also praise & admiration from the congregation for conducting a 'bible study'.
Once your daughter is in & baptised she will be dropped by this girl like a very hot potato as she can no longer count the time & put it on her boasting report at the end of each month.

These people are 'sighing & crying over the detestable things happening on the Earth' & doing something about it.....They're NOT feeling gleeful

I hated the conventions when I was a JW...........5am pick up Friday morning in a crummy coach home at 9pm.
Up again the next day 5am pick up & the day after that...go back to work on the Monday morning totally exhbausted!
I used to sit in the audience wondering what the heck I was doing there letting them spout their nonsense at me all day long.
All that effort year after year & do I remember any of the earth shattering resolutions we all had to be there to say AYE to?
NOT ONE!!
Total waste of time.

Meetings at the Kingdom Hall are TRUE worship!
by punkofnice in...or so i used to think.. what is worship?.
not sitting listening to wtb$ corporation propoganda which is more a sales seminar than worship.. not giving talks, sermons or demonstrations designed to make you better sales persons in field misery for the benefit of your reputation when the elders jusde you.. not constantly being hypnotized to believe i am not good enough and must do more or my imaginary friend in the sky will lovingly kill me soon (terms and conditions apply and are subject to 'overlapping').
not answering from a hi-lited piece of litter-trash at indoctrination sessions designed to make you better recruiters so the gb can have power and money.. if i were god i wouldn't consider 7.5million sheeple obeying 7 power trippers in brooklyn worship to me.....idoliary, yes.

Good point Punk, I have often thought what goes on in the Kingdom Halls is not worship of God.
When is God EVER worshipped in the KH?
Worship of the FDS & GB yes, but not of God.

Could you eat breakfast after watching this at Bethel?
by Dogpatch inthis is a partial video of the morning breakfast table in brooklyn bethel in the late 80s, with lyman swingle hosting... the governing body member who at first tried to shelter ray franz from disfellowshipping, but then within a year or two his spirit was broken and he was a bitter man.. randy (i was there and it was death-dealing, like the death eaters from harry potter!).

A Bumb in with some JWs....
by dm6 injust to brief you all who dont know me since im still fairly new, i am darren, i am 24 years old, and i studied with the jws for about a year before i came to my senses.. here is a little "experience" i had a short while ago, 2 or 3 weeks back i thought i would share it all with you.. i just arrvied in new zealand a couple of months ago now, after being in england for so long, i decided to move back here and see my parents.. i was getting over the whole "indoctrination" process and things were looking good!
aside from the time i spent with jws, i only ever spoke to them once, i was about 12 and they dropped a magazine off at my parents house from which i thanked them since my parents were not home, closed the door, casually threw the magazine in the bin and carried on doing whatever i was doing.. after all these years of not seeing them or knowing anythign about them etc, i did my study in the uk and left that and i am now here.. so i had much more of understanding about jws etc.. my parents and i decided to drive to rotorua from new plymouth for a family drive and quality bonding time :) on the way there, about half way through, we decided to stop on a lay by and there was like a patch of grass no longer than a strip of about 15 metres with 2 benches.. we had a little mini(ish) picnic there and coffee before continuing our road trip.. i forgot to mention that as we pulled up to stop there, there was a car at the first bench and a group inside and a few people outside.. i didnt think abything of it, i actually thought they must have been some family doing what we were doing, a road trip, since there were not even any houses near by, it was all lovely views of mountains/hillsides etc.. anyway, we sit down at this bench about 5 or 6 metres away from them, and one raises there voice and says "hi there!
" so my dad responds hey!.

Oh dm6 that has taken me back......Makes you cringe doesn't it?
You portayed the incident very well, I could see it in my mind.
The borg' expects JW's to do that sort of thing all the time, no let up...... on the beach, in the hotel, in the supermarket, at work...... always, always looking for opportunities to 'give a fine witness' no matter what the 'victims' are doing at the time.
The Service Meeting was the first meeting I gave up as I use to get home afterwards feeling so USELESS because I knew I couldn't do all I was told I should be doing 'if you are a real witness of Jehovah'!!

In my imagination I was there with you Terry as I read your account of what happened, very well written.
I hope I could be as polite as you were when being told 'Jehovah's witnessess wouldn't do that'.
