  What should I say?

  by santacruzchick in

  2. friends

  to refresh your memories, i was raised as a jw, as of the last few yrs my mom has been inactive (she's the only jw in the family).

  i was never baptized talking and talking and talking, i felt insulted because i already knew everything we were going over.

  however....winter break is begins next week, so i'm going home for about a month.

  After thinking about this... why not say nothing and just sing her a song instead? That'll stop her.

  Snitchers?

  by Brumm in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i read a few apostate books during my research as a jw...after confessing in private to a best friend that i'd read them i got snitched on and they ran and told the elders....prats!

  this led to a judicial and a 6 month probation, wasnt allowed to do carpark duty (sobs) or michrophone duty (baawl) for 6 months nor could i answer up at meetings which led to tongue wagging, could go on doors though... a bit strict huh.. also know of a 6 year old who handed in her dad for speaking to apostates!

  was you snitched on?

  Such probation is not to be viewed as some adverse judgment, something destructive of ones "honor," a penalty to be bucked against

  That is bull! While on probation you are not allowed to answer up at meetings even book study so JWs soon catch on and it becomes a destructive gossip department in the KH. Ones honor is definately destroyed.

  My probation was not announced to anyone, I know others that were put on probation in the 90s. What they write and what they practise seems to be at odds.

  Thanks for the research blondie its appreciated.

  AV thats a pretty rough experience! Glad they let it drop.

  Bang on Larc, he's an interesting study from a humanistic veiwpoint. PCC is none directive and I was wondering if anyone here had benifited from his approach, but also interested in hearing from people who had therapy from any different school of thought.

  I do PCC

  Wondering whether you had Person Centred Counselling and what you thought of it? (called Client centred therapy in USA). Or whether anyone here has studied PCC or Carl Rogers.
