  2017 Convention Recording: JWs Applaud 10yo Girl For Shunning Her Own Sister

  by pale.emperor in

  this poor girl was baptized at 9yo.

  .

  she isnt old enough to buy alcohol, to vote, to decide her own medical treatment, to buy a pet, to travel alone... yet she was deemed old enough to dedicate her life to a religion that will cut her off from her family if she ever leaves.. here she is applauded for shunning her own sister who tried to keep in contact with her after waking up.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yzgnfda8ki.

  This is wrong on so many levels.

  That child is in a very difficult situation. No doubt she was 'pressured' by her parents to get baptised, and at such a young age did not have any real understanding of the seriousness, demands and the consequences for making such a decision. Now she is being pressured by her parents and others to shun her sister. Deep down she is most probably distressed about it and has no choice but to put on a brave face. It must be terrible for the older sister too.

  And as for the parents, sheeeesh, can't they see that their family is being torn apart!

  I'm just glad that I didn't have to go through all that crap during my pre-teens.

  A Short Life Story - Part 4 (Finale)

  a continuation from part 3, which is here: https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4807117397557248/short-life-story-part-3#!#4918071166763008.

  my wife had settled into a routine of waking up at 6am each day, cleaning (so no chance of a lie in for me or our daughter with the vacuum cleaner going), eating very little, picking the skin off her lips while she sits there in a trance obsessing over things that are out of our control and dont matter anyway.

  she never did return to work.

  Hi PE

  I enjoyed reading all 4 parts of your story. Thanks for sharing.

  ... She tells me that our sister in law had been on my computer, been on my internet history and taken pictures of what i'd written on this site. She then reported me to the elders ...

  If your sister-in-law did not have your permission to use your computer (and then to snoop around) I hope you gave her a good tongue lashing!

  Have you ever looked back at your early posts on here?

  no doubt we are all overjoyed at how we have progressed since breaking the shackles of the society!.

  for those that have been here on this forum for some time, have you ever looked back at the version of "you" that first started posting here, and compared yourself with where you are at now?.

  i am overjoyed at how much i have grown as a person!.

  Yep; not to mention that you can agree to disagree - which was frowned upon in the Org!

  At this point in time, I am neither religious or agnostic / atheist. I'm in 'no man's land'.

  Hi from England

  by victimofdeceit in

  recently quit being a jw because i realised that beyond armageddon i was going to be ruled by people who cover up child abuse, not telling the congregations by their letter where the money they donated in the box is going towards paying compensation for legal battles which they caused, and also i was bullied by elders and discriminated against for being homosexual, even though i am not practicing it.

  it wasn't until i threatened legal action for a breach of confidence that the elders were deleted.

  so through the media and my own personal experience, i realised that they were no different to corrupt businesses in the world.

  my wife and i went to a concert on friday night.

  there was a friend of ours there doing security, and she happens to be an exjw too.

  she sent me a message on messenger to inform me that my brother and his wife were at the show, not knowing that i'd be there too.

  Don't know them, so I can't vote. Feels so good being so detached from all of them to the point that I don't even know who they are.

  Plus 1 to Scratches' comment.

  JWs Ban TRUE RELIGION!

  by Cold Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the governing body of jehovah's witnesses, known for its aggressive worldwide proselytizing efforts, stunned many of its 12-million members by declaring war this week on a los angeles denim and designer jeans organization that goes by the name “true religion.”.

  “as members of jehovah's one true religious faith we have no business of associating with any organization that claims to be jehovah's true religion!” a letter from the gb states.

  it was dated july 20.. in its opening salvo, the seven-member gb directed believers to not “shop at, buy, nor even wear” true religion's products.

  WTBTS is nothing more than a publishing company.

  PS; is there a link to an original article for this interview?
