  @stuckinarut2 You know that treasure in earthen vessels? Looks like Wake Me Up Jr has found a precious nugget in there.

  I have a phobia of elders, "shepherding" visits and Judicial Committees. But that's a given.

  And seizures. If I even see footage of someone lapsing into a seizure, I shut down and go into shock. I'd say this is more PTSD after witnessing a horrific seizure of a loved one back in 2012. Just watching a seizure occur even in a movie makes my blood suddenly run cold, flooding my insides with the same feelings of terror, fear and horror I experienced five years ago.

  Do you (or did you) have much of a social life as a Jehovahs Witness.

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i ask this question out of interest, because as a jehovahs witness for some 26 years, i have always felt that there is an 'all work, no play' culture within the organisation.

  the organisation doesn't promote social gatherings.

  i could count on one hand each year how many get togethers we have had.

  Social life = PATHETIC as a Witness. Even when I was invited to hang out with a congregational friend, my father would say, "didn't they just see you at the meeting?" Then he would quote Proverbs 25:17 to me which said something about rarely setting foot in your neighbors house so that they "don't come to hate you." So after enough pleading and begging, I'd begrudgingly be allowed to go, albeit with a heavy heart and the overwhelming feeling that these friends didn't really want to see me since they were on the cusp of hating me.

  Gatherings, on the other hand, were just as painful. My parents would make me ring up the host to inquire how many people will be attending, will alcohol be served, who will be chaperoning the event, and what kind of music will be playing. On top of that, my curfew was 22:00 if the gathering was a local one, and 00:00 when it was a gathering over an hour away. I'd be the only adult leaving just as everyone started to have fun EVERY time.

  Humiliating, frustration and isolating.

  But hey... if the Society says that's how it should be done......

  Which Things Did Your Overzealous Parents Ban?

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  we all know the gb like to impose rules upon the rules... but did anyone else out there have parents that implemented rules upon those rules?

  mine did.

  my mum tended to copy whatever the elders wives were doing and took it to the extreme.

  Buffy the Vampire Slayer (I had to secretly stay up to watch the reruns at 02:00 with the volume below a whisper)

  Goosebumps books (I once set my blanket on fire while secretly reading with the blanket draped over my lamp)

  The Internet

  Shaving my legs (my, wasn't I the most popular eighth grader as a result)

  As for any DVD or VHS that had an M-rating, they were subsequently cracked or recorded over... this was the law in my home 'til I finally moved out at 20.
