My father told my that the society apparently said that violent video games were Satan's way of training the masses for the Great Tribulation. Ordinary citizens would suddenly know how to manage complex weapons and kids will be skinning other children alive to create zombies as though it were the most casual thing in the world to do.

My live as video gamer and JW
by ironsnake656 inone of my strangest things that happened to me during my life as jw was that i loved (and still i do) video games.
i started playing super mario bros in a nintendo entertainment system (nes) from my cousin and from there i developed an attachment to the video games.
i remember that i asked for a gift the nes to my dad and my wish come true!

@jwfacts My father used to muse that if people would drop dead after one glass of Coca-Cola, they'd ban the poison. But because the internal decay happens over a long period of time with plenty of variables occurring in each consumer's lifetime, the deaths cannot be measured accurately.

Killing in the name of....
by Confusedalot inmy story:.
i grew up as one of jehovah's witnesses with all the normal complications which include but are not limited to: having no friends because the other kids are worldly and the other witnesses are not spiritual enough, being tormented every day at school for not saluting the flag, not participating in birthdays, not swearing, being a virgin and using the name of god.
this was not only verbal and emotional torment but even progressed to physical abuse.. through all this jehovah was my only friend and i used to pray a lot, and felt that all of these things don't matter as long as i have him.. after school and starting work i met someone and we got married.

I think former Governing Body member, Raymond Franz's In Search of Christian Freedom would really resonate with you:
https://www.watchtowerlies.com/linked/in_search_of_christian_freedom_franz.pdf
Like you, Ray Franz also valued a relationship with God without the shackles of a corrupt organization like the Watchtower.
I wish you all the best as you continue to embark on your journey through "Christian Freedom".
Liberating, isn't it?

While I was out in 2013, there was some special three hour meeting with a live streaming from the headquarters, or something. My parents convinced me to attend. I was fully into my descent as a drug addict back then, so there were frequent trips to the bathroom to snort cocaine off the toilets in the ladies room. I'm sorry, but even as a sober person, how could anyone sit through a three hour meeting?!

Jw mummies boys
by purrpurr ini've had the misfortune to encounter quite a few mummies boys in the cult.
men aged 20-40 who although in men's bodies think,act and behave like children.
their mother's had them tied to the apron strings tightly.

I think the whole waiting for marriage thing initializes these men, keeping them in a boyish state. Many still live with their parents when the rest of the men in the world have moved out, experienced sex and know a thing or two about how the world operates. As a woman, I know which of the two I'd prefer.

Pheebs, I made a mistake. It WAS the Jason Zelda video on child custody that I heard about Jimmy Swaggart - not the one I uploaded. I watch so many of these eye-opening videos each day that I got confused - sorry! Thanks for refreshing my memory : ).
