I haven't read all the comments yet. But by what Ive just read and saw I think this needs to be in every therapists 'toolbox' when dealing with therapy for exjws. Very powerful.

56Spiritual "Protection" - a Menace on Psychological Development
by Wake Me Up Before You Jo-Ho innot quite a week ago, @lost in the fog created a thread entitled: do you have this illness?.
https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5187824140681216/do-you-have-this-illness.
in my year of being on this forum, i have browsed many a disillusioned thread of ex-jehovah’s witnesses expressing similar symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder when detailing their awakening - my own story included.

Screwed up sexually
by purrpurr ini was thinking about how the borg screws up and sexually neuters their flock by telling them when single to "deaden their body" and then boom as soon as there's a ring on the finger to not be denying eachother.. do any of you know of jws who have been screwed up by these teachings?
i know 2, 1 elder came back from honeymoon having a nervous breakdown unable to cope with the cd that sex produced in his head.
and the other called up her parents while on honeymoon, crying and begging for themto come and get her, since she was so shocked that sex hurt.

YES!!! I spent have spent years deconstructing and reconstructing how I view sex and sexuality. Its on the top of the list of things that nearly destroyed me. And wrecked many years of coming to terms with myself.

Beards and Circumcision: turning their argument around
by neat blue dog inone argument against beards i've heard multiple times, both from individual jws and from the platform is roughly:.
'timothy got circumcised so as not to stumble others!
shouldn't you be thankful you don't have to do that?

@betheliesalot-I don't think anybody has ever stumbled over circumsision unless it is dragging on the floor.
LOL.
@neat blue dog-'Timothy got circumcised so as not to stumble others! Shouldn't you be thankful you don't have to do that?
What I want to know is why were people looking at his uncircumcised dong in the first place?

My favorite line is "If you want to train me, like an animal, better keep your eye on my every move"

How did Jesus keep his beard looking so neat?
by Sour Grapes ini have a full beard and with a pair of electric clippers, i can't come close to having my beard looking at good and trim as jesus in the picture.
i wonder how jewish barbers did it or perhaps his beard was more scruffy than is shown.
does jesus even look jewish?

Lengthy letter re: End Time Events / read ONLY if you still believe in God.
by mother Teresa inshalom,.
my mom's family is mostly jws.
during her second marriage, i attended the weekly meeting and sunday meetings (by my own choice) with a family in the very small town we lived, since my mom didn’t attend.

I hope getting that out made you feel better.
For me it read like a lot of different beliefs crisscrossing one another.
There is love here, but very very little tolerance or a stamp of approval for studying with jws.
