beryl blue SISTER YOU ARE RIGHT ON
AMEN TO THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!
it's a proven fact!!
!
anyway, i thought the dating thing was suppose to get easier when you got older..come on guys..what makes you tick???
lets face it girls we are stuffed they r like parking spaces all the good ones are gone and the rest are handicapped. LOL
yeah unfortunately alot are fickle and THEY DONT KNOW WHAT THEY WANT!!!!!!!!
drives ya insane but them are the facts.
one of the cornerstones of jw's is counsel.
they just love to give counsel and many times they will literally make things up just for the sake of counsel.
i was once counselled for joking around too much.
now you got me started!!!!!!!!!
now lets see, how abt this idiot ass hole elder told my daughter off constantly for wearing glitter any sort of enhancement hed be jumping on her..and when i wore red nail polish hed say oh youi are bleeding( sarcastic) and when blue hed say oh you hitting yourself with a hammer and shake his head in discust.
he picked on us constantly, and he pulled me in once for my answerphone message which said
"I cant come to the phone right now cuz im down in the dungeon being tortured for my good looks"
some stick in the mud old sister called me heard it and dobbed me in.
once someone saw me in about.com jw chat and told the elders so i got raked over the coals and given reams of kingdom ministry photo copies. on why not to be on the internet...
then i got pulled in for supposedly prompting my son who was abt 9 to answer at the WT when in fact i was whispering to him how to say a word.
i was also pulled in and counselled that my daughter( abused by her father and couldnt help it) went to the loo to much...grrrrrrrrrrrrr
and she wasnt allowed to go in the Kingdom hall at meetings no excuses she could go at home before she came and at home when she left.
i got counselled for going out to lunch with my bible student..the co said she was bad association as she wasnt JW....
suffice to say she saw the sisters gossiping about me and her and never came into the org THANK GOD.
she remains my friend and i went to her wedding in a anglican church
once i was asked to do a demo at service meeting first time in 14 yrs i might add and my skirt had ridden up and the split was to high..after the meeting i was told i made a fool of the elder and he yelled at me in the car park.
the co and an elder yelled at me right in the hall for booting my non jw son out for drug abuse and crime. called me a bad mother and said people were not going to meetings because of me and that i no longer had jahs spirit..right in front of the whole cong the night of the theocratic school.
i could go on all day!!!!!!!!!
raven i read your post and they r complete and utter nutcases..i never heard the like of it...candidates for the mental home..and hey the word pharisees came to my mind when i read that post of yours....

we have all read and watched so many of the child abuse / sexual abuse scandals, and it makes us all sick to our stomachs, i want to touch on a different kind of abuse, i am not trying to draw a parellel between child abuse and being abused.
the abuse i am talking about is just as bad but so different.
i remember growing up a jw, basically having no choice, whether i wanted to go to the meetings or in service, and i always resented this in my parents.
oh boy :(
yeah i understand all that..and yes it comes back to guilt.. ya know it was my experience that when they were studying with me they were all over me until i got baptised.
and then after that i noticed that unless u were related to an elder or a co...you were a pioneer..or did heaps of hours and volunteered for everything, or had tons of bible studies or were a brown tongue..meaning a kiss ass then you were a nobody.
it seemed your status in the truth all depended on some or all or one or 2 of those things, u know in all my time in the org..i was never asked to do demos..once an elder went off his face at me when another sis asked me to help her with one and thats only because someone else didnt turn up to the meeting.. and my skirt had ridden up and i didnt know...and on stage the split was to high.
he went beserk dragged me outside after the meeting and went off his face..he said how dare u humiliate me like that ..it was his part on service meeting.
i will never forget that..most of my experiences with them has been them yelling at me for nothing..bunches of ass holes. il never forget that..me poor solo parent bringing up kids alone :(
no help i even had to move house on my own..might as well have been invisible. god when i look back..it was a stint in a concentration camp.
anyway thats what i noticed ,,,ohh and my kids were ignored like they were no bodies oh but elders grandkids etc oh man they r the be all and end all..grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr GOD THAT USED TO PISS ME OFF. and if my daughter volunteered for a talk it was oh umm oh no sis such and such will do it.
ohh grr i could go on all day
but in answer to your ???
HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i was shocked because i had a similar experience to that blonde women with the jw husband that wouldnt and didnt consumate her marriage.. i really felt like i related to her because similar happened to me.. i left after that id had enough but it was a combination of things... spent the last 2 days watching all the videos and listening to all the radio broadcasts on dirtclod.com.
tears your heart out completely... i can relate..altho my second husband not a witness whom i was with when i became one...raped my kids and he wasnt a witness..they still didnt wanna help me either.
i needed help i had 3 traumatised babies at the time and they didnt wanna know said i made it up and put idea in their heads.. rich aint it?.

and after that a bro molested my daughter. and she told me and same scenario...he was going to jail for doing a worldy girl and my daughters name never came into the worldly trial cuz my kids been thru enuff.
he was sent to jail. still in as far as i know.
but my poor lil girl 7 at the time had to go into the creche and tell the elders what he did and they were so damn clinical abt it...
and never really showed any care or concern for her :(
heartless bastards scuse me..
but hey im glad im out of that scenario now left the org..faded and aint gonna give them the satisfaction of df me or me da..theyd love that.
i just feel so numb and so sick because of watching the stories of those poor poor brothers and sisters who suffered...
justice will prevail u wait and see...our god will pay back.
love ya all
