  Not too my son...

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  will i say " orlando, your hair is too long, and needs to be cut short" and never will i say " orlando, invites to birthday parties can't be accepted".

  and i will buy my son books he wants to read, books that bring him happiness, and that he understands.

  and by so doing, i hope he will acquire happy memories of his childhood, so that the sensitive and delicate, in him will be allowed to grow.

  Lucky Orlando!

  Among their many "war crimes" perhaps the most pervasive one is the way the Org comes between parents and their natural parenting style.

  Normal life with its small mistakes and opportunities for learning from such is displaced with an abnormal arrangement where a child is supposed to think about "what would Jehovah want...what would Jehovah think...you must please HIM".

  Thats a heavy illusion to lay on a child. As a Witness, a parent is taught its a "superior" way of thinking.

  If the proof is in the pudding, the rate at which children leave the religion once they can, shows the real truth of the matter.

  Got my JC cancelled... (at least for now)

  so my wife and i have been in the process of fading for a few months now as per my original post here.

  about a week ago, i was browsing some ex-jw facebook groups when i saw a post that linked to the crisis of conscience book.

  i said "f@(k it" and hit share on it.. a few hours later, i get a long text letter from my mom (who was a fb friend of mine) telling me the typical "good luck finding friends in the world" and how we have "nothing in common anymore"; basically, it was a 'farewell' text.

  Well done on the phone call with them Sanchy!

  My only advice would be to secretly tape your meeting Thursday night.

  They will say or do something that violates Watchtower protocol and you will have further material to slow their roll.

  Explaining JW Beleifs To Non JW's

  by pale.emperor in

  2. experiences

  my new girlfriend asked me over dinner last night what jw's believe.

  as i sat there explaining it i realized how ridiculous it sounds and was slightly embarrassed that i used to believe this crap for 31 years.. try and read this and imagine hearing it for the first time.... me: well... jw believe that god's name is jehovah and that his son is jesus christ.

  they believe that jesus died on a stake and not a cross and that in the year 1914 he personally chosen the jw's as his one true religion.

  And dont forget the gathering together to stare at a plate of bread and glass of wine.

  This is the most sacred event of the year.

  hope you are understanding, if i shorten a reply i made on another thread and make it an o.p.. i honestly believe, we are all here as writers creating our small masterpieces.

  i believe each of our posts brings light to the air of who we really are.

  this forum is our form of artistic expression which we were denied in the organisation.

  The Rebel, I always click on every thread you start because you open up new pathways in my brain.

  You have a unique way of looking at life that is your gift. I am so glad we get to experience your perspective here through words.

  There are many people who write from intellect and there are many books written by such people also. If a person wants to glut themselves with information the internet is a banquet table for sure.

  As for me, I like the block party feel to this forum. I like the "average" posters who are sharing from their heart.

  To share from your heart takes guts and courage. I think of all that wellspring of thought and feeling that has been suppressed so long by the Org as bubbling to the surface here in peoples posts.

  I find bits of myself in other peoples words and thoughts and it helps with healing which is really why Im here.

  Elders Advice Backfired And Now Im The Happiest I've Ever Been

  by pale.emperor in

  just wanted to update you guys of the amazing couple of weeks i've had in recovering from the cult.. i was attending the meetings still just so i could see my daughter in the kingdom hall and have her sit we me half the time.

  i had no intention of ever becoming a jw again but was hoping to be re-instated and just not turn up ever again so i could at least see my family.

  but then an elder said something to me that changed all that.

  Good for you Pale E!
  

  I had to laugh over the part where they were concerned if you should up at the convention on Sunday - you might try to talk to witnesses!

  OH my!

  On some level they know that conversation with an honest person could wreak havoc in their fake family.

  Question for science geeks

  by rebelfighter in

  do any of you know anything about prescription medications and their reactions?

  the doctors cannot explain why but i react to everything they prescribe to the point that now all my doctors are attempting neutral remedies before medication.

  tomorrow i am having surgery to drill a hole in my head to put in a titanium rod and we are doing local instead of general simply because it lessens the amount of needed drugs.

  Glad you are in otherwise good health (excellent really for 65) rebelfighter.

  You are a medical mystery!

  I would have no idea what drugs I am allergic to because the only ones I have ever had were aspirin, benadryl and the random antibiotic here and there over the years.

  There were a few illicit ones in my youth but as a good little witness girl I havent talked about that much

  Hows your liver? The problem may not be with the medication or with you as a whole.

  The problem may be with the way your body processes the ingredients in the medication.
