  Fear Factor used to control JW children.it is nothing short of child abuse

  by LyinEyes in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i was thinking of this the other day,,,,,,, feeling guilty of putting my kids thru this, even thou it was not my intention at all,,,,,,,all the meetings, all the service , ,, fear was the motivating factor in doing all of the things jw's do every week.. five meetings a week jw children are subjected to hearing in graphic detail of how the birds will eat the eyeballs out of those who die in armeggedon.

  then they are told they better keep on the cramped and narrow path or they will end up the same.

  then they hear all the things god did in the past for those who didnt do what he said,,,,,,,terrified they will be his next victims.

  All of my family on my dad's side are Catholic. I can tell you from MY experience that being Catholic would have been a lot better as a child than JW . The reason is ......... at least in MY experience, I am not saying this is every Catholics experience........ but Hellfire was for the very very wicked. I had cousins that lived together, smoked dope, drank, in jail,,,,,,,,,and no one ever said they were going to hell. In fact the priest would come by my grandmother's house and pray with her,,,,,,never once did he say they would be condemned to hell. It seemed there was so much more room for error in the Catholic church, as long as you repent. The Catholic church made it easy to repent...... there were no restrictions, or fear of being disfellowshipped for all the minor sins, like smoking, or even living together without marraige.

  My Dad's family would always say , it is God who will judge and he gives everybody a chance if they try to be the best they can.

  But being a JW ,,,,,,, that would never be good enough, you would have to confess to the elders who would judge you as men,,,,,,,,they didnt say you are forgiven by Christ for your sins,,,,,,,,no way,,,,, they wanted to know the gorey details, then sit as a group and discuss it and then say they prayed for Holy spirit to guide them . Then if you were lucky and didnt get d/f you got put on restrictions for a year. Then everyone knew you did something wrong, because you made every meeting,,,,, couldnt miss one , or that put you getting your privledges back another month.

  So as a teenage with an elder dad,,,,,,,,,I know I did nt tell anything I did, towards the end of the time I lived at home. If I would have told any little minor things, my dad would have beat me , I would be punished to my room , I would not be able to go anywhere alone, He would loss his position as elder and I couldnt not have lived with that. That would have been too much for me to bear. My dad would use the "you disappointed me" card, and he did it all the time. I wasnt allowed to sin,,,,,,, but we all know we all sin, especially teens,,,,,,,, I had to hide it and pray and cry that if armeggedon came, That Jehovah would read my heart and how sorry I was. But how much easier would it have been to not have that burden that you have , you must confess to the elders? It would have saved me so much emotional burdens, not to mention stomach ulcers.

  Being a JW child , as compared to my 35 cousins ( grannie had 10 kids, so big family) , my homelife was the worst. There was no freedom, there was no choices, I was like a little robot,,,,,, and I hated my life. I hated the ideas they feed in my brain about everyone , even my cousins and grandma, would all be bird food. I would pray all the time that they would be spared. Then when I got older and got in trouble I just held my secrets in,,,,, every nite going to bed thinking surely this is not going to help, Jehovah says you must tell the elders....it was miserable.

  I'll bet you cant name the one NFL team that both quarterbacks once played for.

  They both played for Denny Green. But did they ever throw one pass to Randy Moss?
