and that is how you destroy the mental freedom of numerous generations. Strike at the widower right when he is at his lowest.... and bingo... you have multiple generations of stunted minds.

Maybe i missed it.... did the little girl ever get to see her mommy again?

so i'm pretty sure my fade is complete.

haven't stepped foot inside a kh in 9 years.

but the concept of fading still makes me wonder.

Since I have formally and informally left this church I have not sinned once.

Now that I think of it... even when I was in I never sinned.

My oldest is truly out. She may have to go to meetings with her mother but mentally she is done with this church. I wish I had the smarts and the stones that this girl has at 15 years old!

Interesting Thing My Little Girl Said Today

by pale.emperor in

my 3yo daughter lives with me 4 days and with her mum 3 days.

i have her tues, wed, fri evening and saturday all day.

which means my ex takes her to sunday and thursday meetings but she doesn't go door knocking on saturday because she's with me.. i dont mind - at the moment - because in a way i want her to know the jw jargon so we can talk about it without having to explain what it is, and i want her to compare the bullshit to the real world.

Hey pale... sounds like even though you are still going thru it.... you are getting through to your girl. That is good to hear.

You have her majority of time?? that is awesome! Peer pressure only works with the dubs if they have monopoly on the kids time and friends. While a clean break with this group is best, it is not always an option as in your case. Keep up the good work of talking to and exposing her to worldly kids and activities. I like tiki's take on it. Go about your life and when jdub stuff comes up, pick your daughter's brain as to what you think and then offer up your life experiences. That is a pattern I have followed with my 13 and 15 year old kids and it has worked excellent!

Would You Outlaw Jehovah's Witnesses If You Had Your Way?

i still believe in freedom of religion even if i disagree with the beliefsof the religion.

what about you?.

pbrow

on the way out...

you support any government's banning ideas because the people who hold those ideas suppress independent thinking.

Ironic

Hey mag... not sure if its a strawman...

Just my take on the questions. No ban. Take away tax exempt status but you cant ban ideologies. Generally I agree with the freedom that is granted to individuals in the US as regards to religion or being able to think and say things that are fucked up.

If Jehovah God was in "Human Form" with his Theocratic Nation on earth in todays climate he would be facing Human rights issues.

where does one start :.

he is guilty of genocide for the attempted and succesful ,killing off other nations not leaving man woman or child alive.. he is guilty of barbarism against women for not living up to his rules or regulations such as cutting off a womans hand for defending her husband in a brawl with another man.. he is guilty of condemning the whole human race for the misdemeanor of the first human pair for eating a fruit he said not to eat ?

a bit over the top dont you think ?.

I thought I came up with " jdub" before I got on this site.

There are only so many words and phrases in the english language. We are bound to come up with similar terms even though we never conversed.

Other then taking away tax exempt status, you cannot ban or outlaw religion.

The laws in the US pretty much cover the behavior. It floors me how people want to take away liberty because they were hurt by a church.

Sure, there are cases that fall through the cracks, some followers will not seek medical treatment for themselves or their children but using the federal government to stomp out ideas is not the way to deal with bad ideas.
