Crazyguy is going batshit crazy a Rant

by Crazyguy in

yesterday some jw's came over to my house and were even being nice to me, most of the time if they do come by an elder or ms may say something but the others will not, its even hard for them to say just hello (how pathetic).

( they also do this behind my back as if i don't know).

i now realize by not being their i've handed my kids right over to them!.

CG: [There] seems to be very little support when it comes to helping ones wake up and educate their children.

I'm sorry you're going through this, but I gotta tell you, you're wrong about what you wrote above. There's plenty, but this cult is very good at what it does: indoctrinating members to put the group above normal family relationships.

The first thing you have to do is to reassert appropriate boundaries concerning your family.

CG: One of them is the MS that studies with my two oldest boys. ( they also do this behind my back as if I don't know).

The fact that you know this and yet you tacitly allow it is very disturbing. This must end and it must end immediately.

You might want to read this pertinent thread by 00DAD:

Relationship Issues: Boundaries, Freedom of Choice and Codependency

CG: I'm not sure what to do anymore, do I go back and play nice with these idiots all the while trying to plant seeds with my kids?

No! Not just no, but Hell no!

That would be one of the worst things you could do.

Be the dad. Even if it means getting disfellowshipped from their little fucking club. You must fight for your children.

Tell all of the JW elders and MSs that if they come around your children you will have them arrested. You might even threaten them with a hint of bodily harm. They are your children.

I told an elder once that if he got between me and my children I would hurt him. He backed off.

Helen Keller is not a hero

few realize just how wicked some of the most revered people in history were.

helen keeler (1880 to 1968) was a wolf in sheep's clothing, no hero.

keller was a communist.

OMG, where's my tin-foil hat?

What a ridiculous OP.

JW.ORG Medical Information for Clinicians

Here's an interesting quote from this page:

"This section contains citations of peer-reviewed articles from leading medical journals"

It's ironic, they recognize that doctors and other professionals in the medical field understand the need for peer reviewed research, but the GB can't stand the thought of anyone reviewing and criticizing anything they say or do.

On shunning

by paranoia agent in

here is something interesting that pertains to the action of shunning.

the book called extreme was written by psychologists.. 1.

possum: religious counselors often have very little training in psychology while getting exempted from standard licensing requirements.

In JW-land it's not "often," it's virtually 100% of the elders that lack proper training to give the "counseling" that they give.

JW elders, even if well-intentioned, usually make a bad situation worse.

Let's review: It's a cult!

Is this the book?

Review: In ‘Extreme,’ by Emma Barrett and Paul Martin, Psychologists Explore Those Who Test Limits

It would have been helpful if you'd provided a citation and/or reference. Thanks.

The "mis-truths" said by brothers during the Royal Commission.

by stuckinarut2 in

my sister said she heard several "mis truths" or dare we say, "lies" said by the brothers on the stand during the royal commission.. 1) vin toole lied when asked about the expression "theocratic warfare".

he said he was unaware of the term.

2) terry obrien lied when asked whether witnesses are free to research the organisation or free to leave without any negative consequences.. 3) geoff jackson lied when he said that the organisation doesn't run a 'police state' and doesn't criticise those who want to leave.

Liars gotta lie. It's what they do.

Uh-oh, the elders want to pay us a visit!!

by BeautifulMind in

so, hubby gets contacted today by one of the elders saying 2 of them want to pay us a visit and asks him when we are available.

we both had the heart drop feeling for a few minutes lol.

but he promptly, and politely, informed them that we are very busy but he will let them know when we are free.

Oubliette

When the elders called and said they wanted to have a "shepherding call" I politely, but firmly, said I wouldn't be interested in that, but if they would be so good as to help me reconcile with a "still-in" family member that shuns me I would appreciate that.

The elder said he'd get back to me on that. It's been about six months. I'm still waiting for him to get back to me.

Let's just say I'm not holding my breath.
