  But to me the whole JW religion is child abuse. Sometimes through the parents directaly, i.e. "spare the rod and spoil the child."
  I think it more a long the lines of munchausen syndrome by proxy. Where the abuse of the child reflects the "righteousness" of the parents.
  
  Perfect example JW child get bullied in school even extreme bullying. The parents feel great because they can see that they must be living in Jesus' example.
  They also have something to boast about to their JW club members, ok little jonny got a borken nose for standing up for his believes.
  
  Adding to the physical and mental abuse, more mental abuse is heaped upon the child by answers such as "Oh in school everbody gets bullied" etc.
  At the same time they deny their stupid religious traditions can do anything bad to children.

  Child abuse is often internalized leaving the victim an emotionally retarded wreck. a few years ago my mum was gobsmacked when I told her about my treatment at school. From the age of 8 I was singled out and cained for everything from failing to sing Christmas Carols and the National anthem to not taking part in ANZAC Day. For several years, every Monday morning at Hampstead Primary School saw me stand under the Australian flag facing 700 students and teachers while they sang "God Save the Queen" at me (my mates joked that I must be the Queen) unc who was only abused by adults.

  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

  Gill said:

  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.

  I photographed him a couple of days ago running about delivering "good News #37".

  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.
