My Story

by Kathy1978 in

i was a 3rd generation jw on my mom’s side and both of my parents were jws when i was born.

me and my 3 siblings were raised a bit on the strict side.

no sports, outside association, college, mandatory meeting attendance & service routine, etc.

Were you born in 1978? If so, I was born in 1979. Isn't it crazy to be almost 40 in this System of Things? Being raised a JW, we were promised right from the podiums that we'd never get to be this old in this wicked system of things, that the New Order would have been here by now. Here we are!!!! Congrats on escaping.

It's My Birthday Today

by pale.emperor in

today is my 34th birthday.

or, my 3rd birthday that i've actually acknowledged seeing as i was raised in the cult.. i woke up this morning to my 4yo running into my room and wishing me a "happy birthday daddy!".

i got a card from my ex-jw brother and i bought myself a birthday gift - a new 50mm lens for my nikon camera (photography is a hobby i took up since leaving the cult).. i dont know about you guys, but birthdays is still something i have to make a conscious effort to acknowledge and enjoy.

WingCommander

Happy Birthday Pale!!!!! I too like photography. I also prefer Nikon cameras. I had a D60, then D3000, D5100, then a D3100 for many years. Now I rock a D3300, but those new D5600's are incredible. I don't have any need for higher, more expensive models. Luv the VR glass.

Canon? I like their pocket cameras, in particular was fond of the G9, G10, G16. The newer G5x is fantastic!! I never liked their DSLR's. Too cheap feeling and their menu's are stupid.

'punished' for being sexually abused in york county: jehovah's witnesses' culture of cover-up.

FYI: Sarah's parents won't be winning any "Parent of the Year" awards anytime soon.

1. Her oldest sister was DF'd because she dated and then married (( GASP! )) a nice worldly guy. They've been together for like 20 years now.

2. Her older brother divorced his pedo wife (who was the one that helped abuse Sarah) and I believe finally came out of the closet as a gay man. (at least Bi) He left the JW's as well. (at least had a complete fade, last I checked)

3. Sarah of course identifies as an atheist. After the amount of shit SHE and her siblings have been thru, who could blame her?

4. Sarah's parents have shit for brains. They have good intentions, but are completely brainwashed. Sarah's dad is kind of a Country-fied "man's man", but didn't kick the shit out of his daughter's abusers? He allowed Elduh's to come into his home, interrogate his abused daughter, and allowed them to actually publicly reprove and later DF Sarah? That's f*cked up!!!!!

5. Sarah's parents maintain minimal to ZERO contact with any of their adult children. Loyalty to the WT Corp above all!

I wonder, as Bob & Connie get older, is the WT Corp going to take care of their pathetic asses? Change their diapers? Get them their medicine? Will the local Elduh's take care of them? If I were them, I wouldn't count on the children they screwed over and treated like shit to take care of them.

Lost in time..

by Snoozy in

my hubby was a jw ( active and inactive) as was his active mom and sister.

later his dad joined and his sister got married to a jw.

Your late husband was a fool, and your MIL is a toxic asshole. I'd be as far away from your in-laws as I could possibly get.

@Diogenesister:

He wasn't!!!! My niece-in-law was caught on Twitter talking shit about our family, and one time caught talking about my 6-yr old son while herself and all of the other grandchildren were out with Grandma for the day. Doesn't matter that he didn't have an online account, talking shit about someone else's kid online is known as "cyber-bullying." It was seen by other people as well as myself. HUNDREDS of people in fact. I'd say that's a pretty damn good reason to be pissed off. When called out, she never removed the posts or apologized either. In fact, it was turned around and made out like, "How dare we call her out on her behaviour?" Classic victim-shaming and narcissism. Her false allegations of me supposedly "acting inappropriately" around her was a ploy to deflect away from own "inappropriate behaviour." That shit didn't work, and we cut contact after even more abusive talk. I don't miss those assholes one bit. My point was, false accusations by women DO occur. People are mean and spiteful today. And NO, I am not somehow making excuses or sticking up for Pedo's or something.

Hey Flipper:

Don't be so hard on the guy above. False accusations DO happen. SOURCE: My in-laws. I had a niece-in-law at about age 15 grope me (get a handful of my ass) while I was leaning over setting the dinner table one Thanksgiving. No one else was in the room to witness it. (I was 26). When I didn't reciprocate her "warm fuzzies", she then turned mean and hateful. Then at age 20, she started to treat my 6-yr old son like crap, and was caught cyber-bullying him on Social Media. When called out, she then claimed I was quote, "Acting inappropriately around her and making her feel uncomfortable." This was interpreted by her holier-than-thou parents as me being quote, "a pervert." My wife and I were aghast! And of course, everyone believed her because she was a Sunday School teacher at her local Lutheran Church. I was made out to be the bad guy. This led to my "waking up" as to what narcissists I was dealing with, completely cutting all ties with these psycho's and their enablers, and my wife doesn't speak to any of them, including her aging parents who thought it'd be funny to stick up for her and tell my wife that "a pervert like him who looks at what little girls (18-21!!) are doing online isn't welcome in our home anymore." No problem! I haven't stepped foot in their house in 6 years, didn't attend my father-in-laws funeral, and have never spoken to them ever again. They are also barred from seeing our son. I also promptly told them all to f*ck themselves, and never DARE to ever come around me or set foot on my property again. I kept record (screen shots) of all the harrassment that was caught online by them towards my son and my wife, etc as well, and told them I'll be obtaining a restraining order against them if they try it again against my son, and also looking into suing them for slander and defamation of character. F'em!

So you see, this kind of crap DOES happen. Women shouldn't be automatically believed simply because they are women. Men are not by default "pigs" and "perverts." In America, we are innocent until proven guilty, period.

Alec Baldwin Punches A Guy Over Parking Spot

by minimus in

friends

he got into a fight with someone over a parking spot and popped him good enough to get arrested in nyc.

geez, maybe robert deniro was the other guy.

i’m waiting for a skit on saturday night live regardling this!.

WingCommander

If SNL and Trump were smart, they would have gotten together and had TRUMP made up as Alec Baldwin in a parking lot, punching some Neo-Con and then denying it all.

Trump (as Baldwin) turns to the camera and yells, "LIVE, from New York, it's Saturday Night!!!!"

It would have gone down as the end-all be-all turn of events in SNL history!!!!! It also would have shown that Trump is a good sport. I thought he was a good sport to wish Baldwin well after asked about the incident by a reporter.

29 Years in the Watchtower + Ray Franz's 5th Ed. of CoC.

I think she meant that people still ask her if Ray & Cynthia considered themselves "Christians", and not still JW's. So the answer was yes, they still considered themselves Christians, saved thru Christ, and had escaped a horrible cult.
