  for those who "grew up in the borg"

  by zev in

  at this late, middle stage of my life, i've started wondering, now that i know what i know, about the things in my life that i "lived" with.

  having been raised all my life in the "borg" i have known nothing else.

  when questions began forming years ago, it started me thinking.

  ABUSE

  Anyone remember in the 60's with the Evolution book being forced to visit all the teachers at school with it? Christ didn't even start preaching till he was an adult.
  Mom didn't trust me when she dropped me off at school,she knew where the teachers lounge was, so she just waited outside in the car till she actully saw her son obey WT. and enter the lounge. I barely got 2 sentences out before the 6th grade teacher & principal says,"None of that stuff here."

  Major Trauma

  One was continually programmed to doubt oneself,thereby pushing the ORG. as the answer to all problems in life. Growing up in 3rd & 4 th grade I hated TUE. & Thur meeting nites. If I fell asleep I'd get belted at home.It would take Dad a few minutes to park the car after he let us out at home. I'd race to my bedroom, strip clothes and jump in bed and turn out the lite.It still didn't work,he'd come in and belt me for sleeping through spiritual food.What a crazy religion.My big fantasy as a kid was, if I survived Armageddon walk up to King Solomon right after he was resurrected and beat the crap out of him for writing,"yeah you can beat your kid, he won't die" then ask him how it feels.

  i am over 30 and have been out of the "organization" for almost 14 years now.

  my father is an elder who's main concern is kissing up to the c.o.

  so he can move up the ranks and be important.

  Professor-"my parents almost literally hate me"

  I felt that, my mother was so cruel to me on her deathbed some yrs. ago. I realized she was very gullible,and likewise a programmed robot. And yes it hurt. Looking back I should had a good mentor or shrink to help me out. I suggest the same for you, you'll grow much quicker and learn how to manage your anger.

  Maybe you can do things for your parents that will show your unconditional love for them, thereby setting the example for them. "Amazing" has an article over at Freeminds.org on "how I got my family out" Maybe you can ask your folks questions from time to time that will get them to think!

  I wish you success as you take 100% control of your life, giving WT. 0 %.

  On another note WT. will never get rid of shunning as that's what holds the religion together. If witnesses could talk to apostates,all Wt. lies would be known to all.

  Watchtower Lies Hurt Victims

  by silentlambs in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  if you read the 97 watchtower cited below you are given the impression that a child molester who is known(that is confessed) would never have privileges in the congregation arrangement.

  is that really the case?

  in a conversation with the service department it was plainly stated to me personally that a child molester could re-qualify again after a long period of time had passed.

  Amazing says "The real truth is Watchtower Society left Jehovah"

  Over 20 yrs. ago at a Gilead Graduation Bro. Glass gave a talk to missionaries about loyalty,we taught all "you know" (no pun intended), so please be loyal to us. He related a recent experience where a past graduate who was sent to S.America had recently held a judical committee,it consisted of himself, Jehovah, and Jesus Christ.They came to an unanimous decision,they DF'D the Society.What a hoot.

  My latest letter to the org and their reply

  so we can see that the early jehovah witnesses believed that jesus parousia began in 1874. the truth book states this above and it is in all the old books.

  this statement is coming from the organization that offered the scholarship and keeps written records of such.

  "appreciate"
  I see they still love that word.I was so burned out reading that word in their publications in late 70's, as they used it everywhere.When I'd hear that word on TV I'd think they were JW's too.

  "permitted them at times to be in error"
  Of course God permitted them,if he didn't permit them fire & sulfur would have consumed them. Somebody has to fulfill Christ's words of "False Prophets".

  I was allergic to the Watchtower

  by professor in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as a boy, i would suffer severe attacks of sneezing, itchy eyes, and post nasal drip when i would read the watchtower.

  it was especially noticable during our family watchtower study.

  i began to think it was the paper its printed on.

  DECEPTIVE JW EDLERS #1

  deceptive jw elders #1 .

  on h20 i posted a justice series with 12 judicial case experiences for the purpose of showing how decisions are made, and to highlight the poor training, lack of education, and often the incompetence shown by watch tower appointed elders.

  even those of us with a measure of secular education were often untrained in essentials of dealing with peoples personal and emotional problems.

  Why can't you sue them for fraud? You bought the volumes thinking they were actual copies of watchtowers, but they were not.
