  That's an awesome idea and if I get the chance, I will do it. I certainly have the technical skills and I am uncannily good at going about unnoticed.

  My mom confessed to me when I shared my doubts with her that she left for about a year in the late seventies, but she didn't specify why; only said that she had doubts as well. When I learned about the '75 fiasco it was the proverbial light bulb going off in my brain. Before then I had always assumed that she had been stumbled by some other witness, but now I know that she knows the GB is fallible.. and chose to come crawling back to them anyways. The strange thing is that I don't think she did it over shunning; she really seems to believe the WT theology even though she knows they were wrong.

  What is the most bizarre counsel you received as a JW, from a JW?

  by Funchback in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there were many addressed to me.

  for example, i once had a sister tell me i was gambling because i liked playing skill crane (the machine where you have to try to pick up prizes like stuffed animals) at the arcade.

  i then fired back a her: "you saw the r-rated movie 'backdraft.

  Masturbation increases your libido and makes it harder to resist the temptations of fornication.

  Aren't you begging the question here? You're assuming rape and incest are wrong. But if Jehovah is the arbiter of what is moral and immoral, how could any act, no matter how much it might repulse you, be intrinsically wrong? Morality is relative... to Jehovah's absolute fiats.

  Dealing with Loneliness and Social Anxiety

  by NoviceLocs14 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  hello, this is my 1st initiated post on this site, so i'm a bit nervous.

  i did search for similar topics on this site, but a lot of them have been inactive for several years, so here goes.... a little background, i was pretty much born in "da twoof", baptized at 17, pioneered for about 6 years, was part of the rbc part time, and was even in the foreign language field for the last 3 years i was a jw.

  so i pretty much had a pretty active social life within the organization due to being part of all of those things.

  Some of the more sincere JW kids never go through the teenage rebellion stage of drinking, drugging and having fun with the opposite sex; and so when we finally do rebel against the bOrg, we find ourselves as children in an adult world where everyone expects us to know the ropes. I believe the psychological term is 'arrested development'.

  Yes, it's frustrating, and I don't have any easy answers. The obvious solution of simply going through a belated adolescent 'rebellion' may work for some, but I have personally found the joys of sex, drugs and rock 'n roll to be insipid and overrated at best. I only found peace by acknowledging to myself that I really had no genuine desire to grow up and fit into adult society. That, in fact, I like being an emotionally stunted adult with the mind of a ten year old. Instead of wishing you were someone else, try accepting yourself as you are; maybe that's who you're meant to be. It may be alienating, but alienation is often the price of authenticity.

  And hey, you aren't the only kid out there who is stuck in an adult body. You'll have no trouble finding kindred spirits online or even in the real world if you know where to look. HINT: It won't be at a bar or a church function. Try coffee shops, sci-fi conventions, Subgenius devivals and other off-beat venues.

  What woke you up?

  by MrRoboto in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  for me, i think it was just the right time as i was starting to wake up on other fronts as well (anyone who had went through these will know what i mean).

  but it started when i was looking for what info goes on a publisher card, which led to me reading one person's story (ex bethelite) which was pretty crazy to an all-in jw but who trusts those apostates...?.

  then i started watching videos on cults, as if my subconscious was trying to tell my concord mind something... when i saw a particular one about a young man in lds getting ready to start their 2 year preaching campaign, including a school, social activities etc, i realized that i couldn't tell the difference between the folks of this mormon cult and the jws (save for some religious differences) .

  Though I am now an atheist, what initially woke me up were certain mystical experiences I had as an adolescent that simply did not fit within Watchtower theology. Of course my mom and the elders thought I was demon-possessed, but after reading Evelyn Underhill's excellent survey of mysticism I realized that there was nothing demonic or even particularly 'mystical' about what I was experiencing. Eventually I realized that the traditional religious explanation for these altered states of consciousness was just a lot of unnecessary baggage that created more questions than it answered.

  Oh, and there's also the fact that WT theology doesn't hold up to any serious scrutiny and that the Bible is a mass of historical and theological contradictions. The GB should really consider forbidding JWs from reading the Bible or even any WT literature that is more than a decade old.

  I wouldn't illegalize any religion, but in my world anyone who wishes to embrace one of the Abrahamic faiths would be immediately sterilized, have their children seized by the state and would be prohibited from proselytizing. My reasoning on this is that Abraham was willing to murder his own son because a voice in his head told him to. Christians, Muslims and Jews all seem to agree that this schizophrenic did the right thing in tying his child up and putting a blade to his throat; that God stayed his hand at the last moment is beside the point. Hence, anyone who embraces a religion that honors this man should not be allowed anywhere near children.

  Muslim women claim that 'modest' dress liberates them and that western women have been reduced to sex objects. But the truth is that the human female's body is not only Nature's greatest work of art, but her most insideous weapon; Islam understands this. By refusing to objectify their own bodies, Muslim women only disempower themselves. I feel sorry for every girl who grows up in this religion and never experiences the intoxicating power over men that is every woman's birthright.

  Tattoos, a bald head, a boyish figure and a really bad attitude. I'm using a picture of Assaj Ventress from Clone Wars because none of my other pictures are fit to post on your little PG forum.
