every time one of the jw's pop into this board and start with their twisted lies, i get angry and it just opens up old wounds.
i feel the only way for me to get satisfaction is to go to brooklyn and picket or something.
do others feel this way?
Its an absolute shame that religion could drive someone into therapy in the first place. No I havent told my Dad, there is no way I could calmly tell him how I feel, the things I would say to him could be very hurtful and cut him to the bone.I dont have any desire to hurt him, however I will redirect my anger towards the Society

i know this has been shown once before but when i read it again today and saw the boy crying in the courtroom it just made me sick with anger.
i'm so angry that the jw's let their children stick out so much that they get teased and picked on.
i'm angry that this boy was punished when defending himself.
Of course they have a newer one! let me guess, "NEW LIGHT?"
My only answer to this is: The watcthtower society will do everything in its power to portray itself as normal, especially in foreign countries the blood issue is the main thing in europe right now. The society will print different viewpoints in different countries to suit their needs. We however in America have so much religious freedom, that crackpot religions can get by with anything they want and print whatever they want in their publications. They soften their stance in other countries in order to get tax free status and recognition from the governments

Come on, you must be kidding!! True JW parents and especially an Elder Dad would never in a million years allow their kids to read any religious material other than what the society says is "ok". You must have had a really liberal mom or something. I mean was your JW family the kind that only attended memorial, special talks, and assemblies? Mine were typical JW-service every weekend, never miss a meeting, I find it hard to believe youre family was that lenient.

The only thing I could have used protection from growing up was the emotional blackmail from my parents and the soicety

What about being under the influence of parents who twist the bible in order to justify their false doctrine? By the way children have a right to believe what religious beliefs they want, when a parent allows the WT society to control and manipulate their children as far as im concerned to me that "spiritually and emotionally raping the mind"

This is really a sore point for me, because my brother was an excellent basketball player and was offered a spot on the team back in junior high, my father wouldnt allow it and showed us mountain high stack of pubhlications from the society stating that JW kids DONT, I repeat Dont play school sports

Hey Cloud, It may be different there where you live as the society seems to bend its doctrine to fit whatever situation, however if you had been paying attention at the meetings and assemblies you would know what im talking about. There was even a brochure put out by the society entitled "school and jehovahs witnesses" or something similar in name. Anyway it went on to explain in that brochure why JW kids dont participate in school ball teams or most other extracurricular activities. I know as we went through this with my dad, my brother and the elders

Cloud strife, You really should be thankful then. Being a JW might not have a direct effect on a child being bullied, but there is also the indirect effect. In fact just being a JW give you certain personality traits that other kids can pick up on, The kids know youre different and can sense it. I mean for goodness sakes, young JW boys are forbidden to play school sports which can be emotionally detrimental to their development and add to their sense of isolation
