Under constant watch of other JW. Being told how your life is run. Everything you do under a microscope. Enslaved to a self centered, self righteous group who serves no for real purpose for humanity. It is the hemorrhoid to society.

What Do You Know of JWs Getting Away With Stuff?
by minimus ini realized that teenagers and young witness adults were getting away with murder per my daughter.
she told me that all these exemplary young people featured at assemblies and conventions were not real good examples.
after she got married years ago to a “ worldly “ man, she told me about all the kids who were fornicating and getting drunk and high, including elder’s kids.

The "Holy Spirit" is like "Gee-hober's Chariot" off the side of the road, driver missing, 4 flat tires, out of gas with a blown head gasket. It's been like that from the start.

In the hall their was elder sons that would get away with anything because of Daddy's position. Talk about favoritism it run all thru that hall. If you where not in the clique or anybody you where disregarded and looked down on. Glad I'm out, they can have their little clique.

What Were You or Someone You Knew Counseled For That Was Ridiculous?
by minimus inback in the day, tons of witnesses were brought in the “back room “ to be counseled by elders because of their dress and grooming.
some elders frowned on mustaches or hair that went past a certain point on a male.
women were regularly harassed because their skirt was too long or too short or had a slit on the side.

I was pulled into the back room for getting an education. My question to the Elders was Does Gee-hober want stupid people? This seems what they where implying. Keep people stupid. But then I was not one who you can easily deceive. My education trained me on how to think clearly and critically. Which they(Watchtower) don't like.

I was pulled in the room for so much. I got to the point where I told the PO I can't wait till I move out of my parents house. I'll never be in this stuff(a clean word to use) anymore, you can take it where the light don't shine.

Raising a teenager outside of “the truth”
by StephaneLaliberte ini was raised as a jw and left the group as many of the teachings don’t align with my core values.
now, forward almost 10 years, my wife and i are raising our kids through puberty and i have to admit, this challenge is not easy and seems to be even more difficult in that my own upbringing was very different.
i find it hard to compare how i was raised with what i now must do for my own kids.

Can't figure why my family feels that these 8 idiots can rule their lives and everyone else's for that matter when they are the most self serving, destructive group and don't give a damn about them just as long as they get their donation and free labor out of my family till they die off. And required to get more recruit$. For more donations. Donate,donate.

I was on the ministerial school and it seem every week or month I had a #2 talk. Plus coming home to do homework for school work. I told them to remove me from the school. Was talked too many times. How this was more important then my high school education. I would not rejoin the school. I was soft shunned and marked.

There was a place called Midevil Times that would have horse shows and knights and mock up sword fights as you feast on food. Apparently this is such an offense to the JW's even though you read about violence and sex in the bible and no blood is shed at the show. No one is hurt!?! The elders did not appreciate that I pointed out the examples of violence in bible.
