@Diogenesister
Thank you so much
there's a convention being held near my hometown, and as i was passing by i saw a father taking his young children for a walk outside.
and i wondered what would happen to those children, what they would experience at school and in their adult life.
i wondered if they would grow up repressed and anxious and fearful and full of guilt like i did, although i was not raised a witness.

Well coming from a kid,at the age 5 or 6 the kid should (SHOULD) be ok but once they start thinking with there own mind it turns into a shit show.If they are big on telling people that they are a JW at school most kids will be dicks,or if they have a double life they will have a feeling of guilt for there hole life until they move out or just stop living a double life.
Most kids would move out when they can but there are still a good amount that stay because of family etc.
Trust me its shit trying to have a normal life like talking to friends hanging out with friends etc.Because they are worldly or your parents only want you talking to kids at the kingdom hall.
WT is really taking a shit on kids when it comes to there teachings.
If any kid is looking at this post for some reason I want to say a it might be could a double life to JW's but is really a NORMAL LIFE don't feel bad about living a ''double life''.
know before i say anything the title might make go like ''what?are you going to say that its bad for a younger person to be friends with a older one'' no not at all i think its a good thing that a kid should have at least one older person they are friends with.. now,i dont think young people should not try and talk to some one older than them or become friends like i said.but to me it seems more like a cover up for the watchtower because a lot of young people when they can most will likey want to get out and leave.now to me all the time when i see a congregation there are more older people than younger.young people mostly want to have a friends there age,but that's hard most family's say ''we dont want to have kids in this system.
''which leaves a low amount of kids in a congregation.. what i'm saying here is that not all congregations have 12,13,16,5,6 year old kids so kids that age dont have many friends to start out with.
so i see the hole thing on making friends with older ones and you should be talking to older ones more as a cover up to that problem.. i might be wrong about this hole thing but i wanted to talk about,as some one who cant really have friends because there is no one my age i could really talk to..
@caves
You’re right it’s not just a JW taught thing and like I said In my post I don’t think it’s a bad idea to talk older people.I love talking to older people and having a interesting conversation with them.But it seem like a way for the Watchtower to cover up the fact that you don’t see as many young ones which could be a problem for younger people looking for friends.

@just fine
Thats a good point that would be a good reason
i have to say that it was quite a strange feeling.
for many years that i was in, i had to do a lot of pretending with various teachings i personally didn’t believe in.
still, i believed in some foundation and went for that.
You know I like how you said how they try and argue ''Machine gun arguments'' a really good way to say it.

there are many here who think they can infiltrate my web-site.
be warned that we administrators of jwtalk call the listed congregation on your application for membership in our site to verify if they know you!.
some of you have slipped through the cracks and got into our site, but rest assured, we will find you out and ban you!.
You know the fact of the matter is why are you JW's talking online?You know they tell you not to you might run into a mentally diseased apostate (or a normal person thats left a cult because they woke up) So why do you have form to chat on.
And I dont think its a good idea to call up some brothers feel bad for those people that have to say ''Yes brother bob I was talking to people on a form''.
And some of the people here still go to kingdomhalls and you call them mentally diseased thats nice

sorry i forgot to update when i was there.. the only things i want to talk about is how they would tell young ones to tell every body in school that their a jw.i hate when this happens this will not go well for all.they had one random video about some kid,the kid said the teacher would make fun of him,but one day the teacher let him talk about being a jw (this parts bs)then some random teachers and the principal walked in for no reason,and he got to talk about to most of the school wtf.. i hate the fact they tell kids to tell every body their a jw once again this will not go well for all..
@Beth Sarim
