  Is it 16?

  by Jrjw in

  hi can anyone tell me if it's true the society says parents must take their child to meetings until they're 16 even if they don't want to?

  my ex is being a pain about me not forcing my 12 year old to be a witness.

  he doesn't know i'm becoming inactive at moment so i have to be careful how i word things to him.

  Disgusted

  i've on my been on this forum for a few weeks but the more i'm learning the more ill its making me feel that i believed the wts.

  my 12yr old today said i've made her miss out on having a normal childhood and i felt sick when she said it coz i know it's true.

  i've been telling my dad today the things i've learned that wts had lied about and about the child abuse and he's disgusted too especially coz he's missed out on 12 years of being able to celebrate birthdays with us.

  Zeb - i think she'd njoy a burning of the books more than the clothes coz she has some stunning colourful dresses. Some of her skirts are old fashioned and she'll be happy to see those go. She's always hated studying the literature.

  Jo-ho - I hope your parent's wake up soon and realise that you're more important than the wts. Its heartbreaking reading about them breaking up families just coz you believe differently to what wts/GB say. For years I never believed my mam who isn't a jw that jws break families up, coz they brainwash you with the opposite at the meetings. I really feel your pain

  i was just lying here thinking about mind control and thought it'd write a list just to see how much the wts does try to control every aspect of people's lives.

  some of the things i've come up with are:.

  xmas,.

  Yes writing what they don't get involved in would have been a shorter list but seeing how long the list is shows me how much they control people without them realising. It's true that no one would join if they saw this list while they were studying

  aspects of shunning

  by stan livedeath in

  many members on here have been shunned.

  we know whats its like--and the effect it has had on our lives.

  but what about those of us who practiced shunning before--when we were members of the watchtower cult ?.

  In 2007 I bumped into a brother that I knew really well before he got disfellowshiped and I saw him in the shops one day and when we caught eye contact I could see the pain In his eyes and the expression on his face and i wanted to go and give him a big hug but I was with a really fanatic jw sister so i just smiled at him when she was distracted. I felt pain having to ignore him. He said the whole year he was disfellowshiped was the most miserable and lonely year of his life and he was pleased when he got reinstated
