  Their was this brother who was uneducated and only learnt to read and write when he became a jw...Anyway he was asked to read the bible readings and he always tried soo hard...It was painful to watch as he used to get in a state.. During one bible reading he was on the platform and was really struggling and said ''oh f@*k this'' and stropped out the KH...When he was asked to do another bible reading, every few words he kept saying ''oh shit''.....It was painful...Funny though to watch the anal brothers purse their lips and start tutting!

  Peace and light

  dear ones.

  rather, it is our adversary who says we will do anything... anything... to avoid it.

  a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g. even curse god to his face.

  Child beating

  some posters here still attend jehovah's witness meetings.

  my challenge to you is..... next time you see a parent beating a human child in public at the kingdom hall, when there are two witnesses - you and one other - call 911 or the police, and report the parent by name, for child abuse..

  I'm talking about any form of physical abuse towards a child. Even a "pop" to the rear. Why is a pop to the rear ok and not a pop to the face?

  I agree...Any form of contact to a child that causes them pain is abuse...

  It's never ok to hit a child... If a child hits another child or an adult that child is told off or smacked.

  The child in my cong used to have her dad threatening her by whispering in her ear for figeting during the meeting... When he was using this verbal abuse on her she would look imploring at her mom begging to sit by her... Her mom used to look away and when it got soo bad she used to hold her hand while he was whispering...When she started to cry because she was frightened he would take her out and go into the breastfeeding room and hit her...You could hear her screaming with hysteria in the KH...This abuse started when she was 6 months old! I had enough one meeting and walked over and took her out of his arms and went and sat down... They were too scared to come and get her or say anything to me as i am known for my fiery temper...I tried it again but was told they like their daughter to sit with them as they are trying to train her!

  If thats normal then i am a crap parent as all my daughter is shown is Love...

  The amount of children i saw beaten at the kingdom hall being hit, and one in particular having her dad whisper in her ear what he was going to do to her if she moved out of line...When these children were dragged out screaming begging their parent not to hurt them...When one little boy came in the kingdom hall with his dads ring imprinted on his face... I did NOTHING! I sat back and kept telling myself that it wasn't my place to get involved and Jehovah could see what was going on...What a self righteous ignorant person i was... I wish to God now i had phoned the police and reported these people...

  Peace to all those children that were physically abused in that KH...

  Forgive the Watchtower!

  i was abused by my father growing up.

  physically and emotionally.. as a entered my adult life i had next to no self esteem, in part because he didn't really attempt to help me get some because i didn't chose the career path that he dreamed for me.. 2 years ago i forgave him.

  i let go of the anger that i had for him because i knew that when it was all said and done, he did what he did and i believe that he did his best.

  Forgiveness is nothing to do with allowing the other party to get away with what they have done...''To forgive'' means to let go of the pain they have caused ''you''...It means that by ''forgiving'' you are able to move on with your life and not allow the other party to continue to ''hurt you''...I have had to do it with the watchtower and it is really hard...I have forgiven them for almost destroying me because now that i have forgiven them, i have been released from their evil clutches and now have the freedom to live my life as God intended... You are doing the best thing Sab...

  Whenever there was a good looking guy in a Gilead picture he was invariably married to a frumpy looking, hairband wearing woman in a ruffled blouse and I'd just think good lord, their sex life must be the shits..

  .

  I used to think the same! Lmao!

  I use to love a new watchtower so i could match all the gilead students up. It made the watchtower go slightly faster! Lol

  I remembered the song that used to affect me... When i read the lyrics i finally understood that God was reaching out to me.

  ''When you believe'' Whitney and mariah duet...

  'Many nights we prayed with no proof anyone could hear,

  in our hearts a hopeful song we barely understand.

  Now we are not afraid although we know there's to fear,

  we were moving mountains long before we knew we could.

  CHORUS

  There can be miracles when you believe,

  though hope is frail it's hard to kill.

  Who knows what miracle you can achieve when you believe

  Somehow you will, you will when you believe.

  Verse 2

  In this time of fear when prayers so often proves in vain,

  hope seems like the summer birds swiftly flown away.

  And now i'm standing here my hearts so full i can't explain,

  seeking faith and speaking words i'd never thought i'd say.

  CHORUS

  There can be miracles when you believe though hope is frail it's hard to kill.

  Who knows what miracle you can achieve when you believe

  Somehow you will,

  You will when you believe

  Verse 3

  They don't always happen when you ask and it's easy to give in to your fear.

  But when your blinded by your pain, can't see your way safe through the rain.

  Though of a still resilient voice says love is very near.

  CHORUS

  There can be miracles when you believe though hope is frail it's hard to kill.

  Who knows what miracle you can achieve when you believe,

  somehow you will.

  You will when you believe.

  You will when you - you will when you believe.

  Peace and light my brother in Christ
