Yes Gill,
for most sane people to be truly happy freedom is essential. Once living a cult free life we appreciate even the smallest of freedoms. The freedom to buy a lottery ticket, smoke a cigarrette, watch a sexy video, say the word "lucky" or even just think a few bawdy thoughts

Certainly children suffer because of the Watchtower and the stupid ideas it gives their parents.
I remember standing in baking heat, and freezing cold, pouring rain and sleet with those stupid mags. I remember wanting the toilet, feeling ill, having a high temp, vomiting in the toilets cos I was already ill but being forced to those crap meetings. I remember being teased mercilessly for being a 'religious freak' at school by some dumb asses, though I always had good, genuine non JW friends who cared at school. But I was one of those with fanatical parents who could not see past the Watchotwer's stupid ideas.
I remember being intimidated by parents who only cared about what 'people will say' at the Kingdom Hall and being afraid to do anything because that's how they lived and still live......afraid of judgement from other freaks at the KH!
I remember kids being knocked into next week for making noise, crying, fidgeting at the shit meetings.
I remember being told that it didn't matter that I got A's in everything at school, as Armageddon was coming soon and I would spend the rest of my life being someone's wife, cooking and cleaning, (and probably cleaning away millions of dead bodies) and so, I 'didn't need a good education!'
I had no hope or plans for the future, which is against everything a child should have. A child should have dreams of what they want to be and do in the future. I did, but was constantly told there was no point as Armageddon is coming SOON!
The whole religion is for people who have No Hope or Dreams!
Everything you succeed at is pointless and worthless. All that matters is a child sells mags, gets baptised, answers at meetings, and puts in a report. Nothing, no other achievement is ever praised.
The whole religion abuses children because it allows them no REAL hopes and dreams for the future.
A young JW relative of mine, was scoring level 6 in his SATS at age 9, something he should be doing at 14/15. His parents want him to be a plumber so he can work for free for the Watchtower at Quick builds!
That's abuse. A clever boy like him, doctor, teacher, scientist, etc material......he's going to learn to be a plumber, pioneer and work part time and work for free at quick builds. Tell me that's not abusive!
The Watchtowers ideals takes away childrens futures!
Well said Gill, Jehovah's Witnesses also sever all conections to their own personal history, ancestory and country. They are pressured to live as "no part of this world." Living in a twilight zone seperated from their past, present and future leaves them floating free, all the more eager to cling to the Watchtower life raft.

Jehovah's Witness child abuse goes well beyond the physical. Look at the poor little bastard below.

Thanks for sharing your family pics sparkplug.
It is not possible to post pictures here from your desktop or personal drive. I think you have to post it on a website out on the internet.
You can tell that I have little technical knowledge. I post only pictures from the net itself.

Hi Gill,
One thing that really annoyed me about dubland was the snobery and non-christian attitude shown to the poor sad folks on the fringes. These are often societies dregs and outcasts the very people who should be offered a hand of freindship. I'll never forget my newly baptised father publically tearing strips off our PO for belittling a couple of poor young girls that came to the "Public Talk" in old dresses. Dads words boomed through the Hall "I DON'T CARE IF THEY CAME HERE NAKED WE'D MAKE THEM WELCOME!" (my folks weren't cut out to be dubs
We should keep our cameras handy and post photos of JW's I say
Nice Dog, shame about the dress:
