THERE WILL BE A GREAT TRIBULATION...IT WILL BE A DIFFICULT TIME FOR US ADULTS AND CHILDREN ALIKE..."
Just what is the point in serving a god who doesn't seem to be able to protect his followers from hardship at all.Ever.

Rutherford 1942 "Don't have kids till after Armagedon...Watchtower 2008 same advice!! Sick!
by Witness 007 ini was shocked to read in the "witnesses only" study watchtower this stupid rutherford policy was still in place, compare.. rutherfords last book "children" {ironic title} 1942 - page 281 "wait until after armagedon to bring children into the world...it is only afew years...until armagedon...those with infants will have greater woe...it will be a far greater difficulty to care for them during the tribulation...".
so if you were 20 years old in 1942 and waited......till 2011.....do the math.. wachtower 2008 april 15 p.19 "heading: "single and childless for a noble purpose.
" ...numerous couples have decided to remain childless...to remain free to serve jehovah...putting kingdom interests above some of the privledges that go with marriage...jehovah will not forget...there will be a great tribulation...it will be a difficult time for us adults and children alike...".

Wachtower says 97% of teens masturbate....is it realistic that 100% Witness teens don't?
by Witness 007 in"young people ask" book admits 97% of youths masturbate...to put it into perspective, it's like saying 97% of the worlds population own a phone or a t.v!!
so is it realistic to believe these witnesses going thru puberty and teenage years won't on penalty of death?.
i always thought, if nearly 100% of teens do it isn't it normal?.

And if you did masturbate, you were encouraged to go and tell an elder!
I wonder how many did that.
And for those who did, how many sleepless nights they had beforehand.
The Eldership for Dummys manual does state that masturbation is not porneia, so at least you wouldn't be DFd for it.

"When Was the Bible Written?" June 1, 2011 Public Edition--Oh, Wow!
by Cadellin ini say, "oh, wow!
" because this article is a showcase for all of the ways that the writing dept.
has lost any shred of authoritative ethos or credibility.

Good analysis Cadellin.
In the first case, if a writer has such a limited knowledge, he shouldn't be writing about this subject in the first place.
I would say it is the first case and that the writer wouldn't even try to look deeper into the meaning of such criticism. If he did, he might just be convinced that the critic is right

I have just left my parents home and the JW's about six months ago and have found it hard to get over.
by StephanieH ini finally desided to leave the witnesses therefore my family and basicly everyone and everything i had ever known.
i was 19 about to be 20 and i had just finished my first semester at a community college.
i was shocked at the respons of my father and others about me attending college at first they were ok but behind my back they were pretty much betting on my failier.

Welcome Stephanie.
Even though you were undoubtably scared, it seems you have already taken many difficult and necessary decisions. You are very brave. Do you realize that?
You haven't seen your mother for a long time. Do you think you would like to find her? Would that do you both good?
Its true, that our never JW parteners cannot pôssibly fully understand what its like for us. Does your partener read this forum? That might help her understand that there are thousands of people who have the same trauma as you .
Things can and will get better. Good luck for your future.

Kindly reply to PHILADELPHIA PONOS
by jean-luc picard inpp, i have been reading up your previous threads.
it's getting to the point where i'm constantly having violent fanstacies about hurting them and recently i actually considered buying a gun.
before this job i was non-violent but they are starting to push me to a dark place.

I agree totally AK-Jeff.
Unfortunately, I don't think PP is likely to read your post.
I started this thread because I wanted to succinctly show that PP has a problem: a very serious problem.
In his thread he hoped that others would avoid JWN.
I wish to show that PPs point of view needs to be taken in the light of his own strong feelings, and do not necessarily reflect the truth.
I do hope that he seeks out the help that you suggest.
