Lauren Daigle - Losing My Religion
Lyrics:
I've been an actor on a stage
Playing a role I have to play
I'm getting tired, it's safe to say
Living behind a masqueradeNo more performing out of fear
I'm trying to keep my conscience clear
It all seems so insincere
I'd trade it all to meet You hereI'm losing my religion -

Not really misheard... But the kids like to sing instead of....
(Let It Go from Frozen)
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I'm never going back, the past is in the pastThe last line....
.. So you can kiss my ass!
Kind of stuck in my head now!

Do any of you born into the cult feel like your mental growth was stunted?
by rockemsockem inbeing born in to me was devastating.
when you are a child born in and raised with the they vs us and they are evil and worldly and going to die.
not allowed to form relationships with anyone not one of you.

I agree... Not mentally affected... But definitely emotionally!
The constant feeling that your not good enough is only reinforced everytime you go to a meeting.
Not having one single real friend
Mentally I'm probably confusing the hell out of my child... Watches films, plays video games what they definitely shouldn't as a jw...
Whenever they question something as being wrong as a jw... I tell them to make there own choice... If they want to do it carry on...

Qualifying For A Kingdom Hall Funeral
by minimus inone of the most despicable things i can remember is having the elders determining whether or not you “qualified” for proper funeral services in a kingdom hall and if the talk could be given by an elder.
people are hurting terribly and the family is then told, even though the deceased was a member of the congregation, they still weren’t good enough to qualify for proper burial services per the congregation!

My parents who are JWs have already said they are to go straight to the crematorium when they go.... No service at the hall...they don't see the point... -

Blonde Jokes
by Bangalore inblonde jokes.. two blondes went to the pound where each adopted a puppy.
the joy of their new best friend was quickly overshadowed when they got home and the first blonde said, "i think we're in trouble, how are we going to tell them apart?
" this lead to several hours of concentration until finally, the second blonde said, "i've got an idea.

Struggling to Live a Lie
by Addison0998 init’s been very difficult, much more than i first anticipated to live a lie, (be pimo and a regular active member) i still live with my parents but i plan on moving out at the end of the year, so i really need to keep it together.
but i think people are starting to get suspicious that something is up.
i’ve stopped commenting, going on service all the time, talking at the door, and occasionally voicing something, such as a question that no one has a good answer for, that makes people think, but ahah, thinking is dangerous and wrong so that is suspicious of course.

I'm a longtime PIMO too... Know how hard it is too...
Lucky I suppose that I've never been that 'spiritually strong'... So I kind of fade into the background...
They told me I can count an hour service/a return visit and a bible study every week for my child... So on paper I look quite good although never do anything!
If what the guys on here are saying about the last video at this years convention is as bad as they say (not watched it yet)... I'm seeing that as my exit door!... Why would I want my child to watch that when I'm suppose to tell them we shouldn't watch 'worldly' films with similar content.
Hope you find your way out soon!

Today's Watchtowe Study, Child Baptism
by BluesBrother insuffice to say that i fundamentally disagree with the point of this article, a cynical attempt to boost numbers.
it goes against bible precedent and their own long standing practice.
they timothy as an example of a youthfull christian, a young man.. sure but he was not baptized young .

Withdrawing community support in the congs
by purrpurr ini've noticed in the past 10 years that the social support that used to be available in the congs, a shoulder to cry on, elders to help with family/marriage issues these seem to have been purposely withdrawn.
counsel is even heard from the platform that the elders are not there to help people with their problems.. so first in the 80s-90s they take away the congregation get to getters and social events and now they seem to be going one step further in taking away the emotional support for people too.. this will take away an aspect that i'm sure was keeping alot of people in the borg, the community support.
if that's not there and its just about meetings and ministry how many will start to get their emotional support elsewhere?.

As the only single mother in the cong.. I'm still waiting for some one to show interest with 'the fatherless boy'....
Instead those children belonging to pioneer/spiritually strong families seem to get all the attention.... Taken on trips..playing football...
Why am I bothering!
