Any here who didn't rebel as a teenager and were a goody two shoes instead?

when i was a teenager in the borg i was a dyed in the wool, goody two shoes, squeaky clean,"spiritual " sister.

alot of my peers around me were rebelling and going off the rails but not me.

i was constantly praised for this and even felt a little smug about it ha!.

Witness My Fury

The cult is all about guilt and fear and boy did i have that in spades, I tried my best to be good and hated myself when i wasnt, that's a pretty toxic mix to grow up with and does nothing positive for a person.

I never understood those around me fornicating and living double lives because i was a believer and as such could never have allowed myself to do that. I nearly left the cult in my 20s because i just wanted sex so bad but felt the only way was to quit the cult then go do that, i didnt mainly because i had no way to support myself properly and leave home at the time because that is what i thought it would come to, which looking back now is odd as my dad was not JW, so it was all about my mothers reaction.

Do i regret not doing so, not particularly as there are too many unknowns and variables there to judge. Clubbing and drinking were never my thing, it was just sex.

- if you see this balcony rockin’, don’t come knockin’.it was too early thursday morning for ava kwinter to unsee what she describes as a “traumatic” start to her day.as she passed by her door leading to the second-floor balcony just before 7 a.m., she saw two shadowy figures locked in an embrace.“the sun was already coming up but it was still dark,” she said.

Her hubby (on the slim chance he is still around) must be thrilled with her puritanical views on sex.

Attention Governing Body, What does nature tell you about a male having long hair?

by Greybeard in

jw

i was raised my entire life to believe it is a shame for a man to have long hair because of this bible scripture 1 corinthians 11:14, “does not nature itself teach you that long hair is a dishonor to a man?” nwt however the international standard version reads, “nature itself teaches you neither that it is disgraceful for a man to have long hair.” so what does nature really teach us?

jesus was called, “the lion of judah” and the king of the jungle has long hair.

thank you nature for clearing this twisted scripture up for me.

Witness My Fury

My hair at this very moment is the longest it has ever been in my entire life. It's going longer....

Very Weird Experience During Recent Special Talk After Memorial

by Tenacious in

hesitantly i attended this talk with my family and sat through it without batting an eye.. mentally i take myself out during the entire meeting some would describe this as daydreaming or zoning out.

whatever the case may be, for some reason this particular speaker, whom i know of but not personally, got my attention the way he would say certain phrases.

he cited some texts that directly advised the audience that faith in christ was the only way to salvation.

Witness My Fury

He probably professes to be of the anointed, over use of the term "father" is a bit of a give away.

Touching scene from angel-A

by sillygirlforgotpassword in

i was going through a pretty rough patch the last couple of weeks after a breakup, a "vacation" spent at my parents, some health scares and other random thoughts the realization i'm not 25 and as toned and consistently fresh faced anymore (feel free to call me shallow because that i am ;).

i fully agree that we aren't to worry about aging, but aging gracefully!

2 weeks at home spent being harassed by my parents for not being up to the spiritual mark didn't help either.

Witness My Fury

I need a 6 foot blonde. It has been decided!

I hope you are doing better sillygirl.

"508 Million Year Old" Exceptionally Preserved Embryos Found

by Perry in

actually, they we found over 100 years ago.

but because so many dinosaur bones have yielded soft tissue, blood cells, dna fragments etc.

, many have predicted (including myself) when all this really broke loose in 2005, that many more similar discoveries would be made simply by going back and cracking open old fossils and having a look inside.

Witness My Fury

If you will insist on reading only creationist sites then this is the result. Fail.

Perry isnt going to change, he's been on this train to nowhere for the full 16 years of posting here, it is if anything a study into confirmation bias.

Tell me what you think.

by Aroq in

ok, i'm willing, and thinking about going to the meetings, but there is a catch.

i'm not, nor ever be a jw.

i know too much about their beliefs.

Witness My Fury

Absolutely do not go, but do as shepherdless said be a great dad and teach them other stuff that will help them make correct (non jw) choices later on.

Going just reinforces the hope that you will come around to it eventually and puts you on the radar for extra attention from the elders etc. It also sends the wrong and conflicting message to your kids.

Looking back, if my non jw dad had made the effort to get closer to me as a kid instead of me just being afraid of him 90% of the time he'd have weakened the very strong bond I had with my ultra JW mother, and who knows maybe i wouldnt have made those dumb choices like getting baptised at 16. If he'd been there for me in those times and i'd respected him and his opinions I likely would have wanted to please him instead of my mother. What a different life I'd have likely had then.

Just because the JW'S are wrong doesnt mean theres no god.

by atomant in

l;ve been giving this some serious consideration lately.l dont have all the answers no one does.we are all entitled to our opinions.l certainly dont believe in evolution as lve researched that subject extensively.lt's important to believe in something even if its for mental health.l believe everything happens for a reason.l also believe if we all live as close to the 10 commandments as possible this world would be a far better place to live and no one can argue with that.

Just because the jws are wrong it doesnt mean there's no god. = correct

Everything else you wrote isn't.

I can't take it anymore!

my dad was recently made an elder about maybe 6 months ago, and now he is never around he's always at work or doing some kind of jw crap.

now he conducts the watchtower study and is even doing the special talk tommorow.

he's become an even more strict controlling jerk than he was before, and i'm never allowed to go out and do anything non jw related because he doesn't have the time.

Witness My Fury

Was your dad an accidental elder or was he reaching out and wanting it?

If he was an accidental elder then it might well be worth your time to have an adult conversation with him (choose your timing damn well) and kindly lay it out that you are concerned for his well being (you are, honestly you are!) that he will burn out and his family is / will suffer, and that you think he is not being fair to his family who should come first. You are though obviously only saying these things because you care deeply about him, (but dont lay it on too thick or he'll know it's not true.)

It has to be framed correctly and delivered without judgement only concern and kindness.

It might make him worse that is a gamble mind, but if he senses you are on his side and looking out for him it might work. If he thinks you are doing it for your benefit he will likely resist.
