very interesting, if very sad, youtube video by a young woman who grew up in a jw household.. i wonder how many more jw kids grew up in similar circumstances to this poor young lady?.
please post an encouraging comment below her video, if you have a youtube account.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-o2k7mfmbi.
This girl (woman) is a survivor!, I was going to start a thread about her YouTube channel.
she has been through hell, the JJw’s made it worse. Her father is in prison for abusing her and her sister. Of course, he was an elder. Very disfinctional family, much more to her story.
Kids should put their candy wrappers and other such items in it to donate. Lol. Charlatans!!
i did not have any connection to jw's when they published this, about two weeks before i graduated from high school.
i'm now on medicare and collecting social security.
so much for their ability to see into the future.
I remember this...I was 10 years old. I felt dread and doom, because this was ‘the truth’ and if Jehovah read my heart, I would soon be killed at Armageddon.
i have read extensively about the origins of birthdays, and i still don't get it.
but it's not what it means today.. even wedding veils were used to ward off the "evil eye".
but it's not what it means today.
This organization hates children, treats them like crap, they miss out on everything. No wonder so many leave.
i was wondering how many of you that are ex-elders have actually read any da letters.
or did you just accept the synopsis given by the secretary or whoever opens the mail?
as an ms the closest i ever got was "he's an apostate.
Sudden fader...moved away
never told anyone my new address 😀😀
i have been thinking of dignified ways to raise awareness about the toxicity of the jw religion in my local community.. so, yesterday, i phoned my local council head office to query the carts that are set up in several places in our town.. i was very polite and professional, and asked the council clerk if they were aware that a religious cult sets up its propaganda stands on council property near families and children on a regular basis.. i said:.
"while i am sure they may be very nice people, the group they represent teaches things that appear to me to be in direct conflict with the values and ethics of our local community and council.".
"their initial message seems pleasant, but i know for example, they are a very misogynistic and homophobic group.
What an awesome idea!
i'm not about to give away where i live or where i used to live, but if you know any of these clusters of people, we might have crossed paths at one point.
(i have added a few "dummy" names to keep it tough.
) most, but not all, of these "real" names are elders.. 1) wicks, anderson, hughes, stafford, adams.
When I was a kid we had a COnamed. Stepawoy, don’t know if I spelled it correctly. He was an asshole, probably dead now
how about something to take your mind off of anything negative?
today i adopted a new puppy.
i already have a cat named loki, and now my new puppy's name is thor.
He’s so cute!! I love dogs ❤️
i am very headstrong when it comes to jw rules.
im not even gonna go there with chaperones.
screw that bs.. i dont want to date a person with someone breathing down my neck.
It won’t be long till they start arranging marriages, like the Indians.

My dad had a study...a foreign man much older than me. He saw me and proposed to me thru my dad, my dad said no. He insisted he hear it from me. I told him no, too. He acted like he was shocked that I didn’t want to marry him, yech!
