My mother continues with these creepy letters
by sosoconfused inas i continue to post these letters just to let people see what they can expect through a fade, i hope they are not annoying anyone.. if so please let me know and i will no longer post them.

sosoconfused,
Thank you for posting your mother's letter. It reads just like the conversations (one-way!) my aunts on both sides of the family used to begin whenever they saw me. I make sure they don't see me any more.
Once my mother used to say I was going to be destroyed in Armageddon but she, like me, is out of all that nonsense now.
My df'd cousin receives flip-flopping letters from her mother every now and then - sometimes the letters are asking to see the grandkids, sometimes they are written to reinforce the fact mother and daughter can not see each other any more. Utterly crazy.
Hang in there!!!

My mother told me that my father remained a JW because of me and my brothers - so that as we grew up he could provide us with a good spiritual foundation we would then take with us into adulthood; I find this debatable and I personally think he used the WTS rules & JW obedience-obsession to maintain control over us. Even if he didn't consciously realize this himself.

Pronouncing things differently so they don't sound rude. Typical CULT persona. Political correctness?
by punkofnice ini noticed over the years how bros & sis(tm) would pronounce words/names differently or totally substitute them so as not to sound offensive.. egs:.
instead of 'bible aids' a bro(tm) said 'bible helps' thus avoiding aids disease!?!.
instead of sodom the bro(tm) pronounced it 'sow dom'.

Ànyone ever accidentally said 'bless you' after a JW sneezes?!!!!
I used to get told off for that a lot when I was growing up.

Too sick or injured but still made it to the meeting!
by RULES & REGULATIONS ini once attended a two day special assembly with my gums bleeding after having 4 widom teeth pulled the day before.
i managed the two days by rinsing out my mouth all day long and placing cotton in my mouth.. one brother had back surgery the week before but attended a two day assembly by laying on a matress in the back of the assembly hall.
why he needed to be there i'll never understand!.

I remember the severest case of teenage-abuse I thought I'd ever seen when I was a teen; a poor girl about sixteen was made to sit in the front row of my grandmother's KH, in between her parents, WEARING DENTAL HEAD-GEAR.

Cedars,
I'm so glad I don't believe these men are part of an actual spiritual Governing Body endowed with supernatural powers & blessings from on-high. I'm afraid I'd be terribly disappointed if I ever went & listened to a chicken-anointing tale by one of the GB in the flesh. I suspect I'd feel the devastation Dorothy must have felt when she encountered the wizard of Oz.
I love the chickens/Pretentious III images. I felt awkward and embarrassed just watching this.

JEHOVAH'S WITNESS STUPID: a special category of ignorance
by Terry inworse than being stupid is thinking you are smart while you are stupid.. i should know.. for many years i was a special category of "stupid"; i was jehovah's witness stupid.. .
what does that entail?
listen and i'll tell you.. ___________________________________________________________.

Terry,
Thanks for your post!
The ones like my father; the ones who are not stupid - he was a successful businessman (hardly any of his clients knew he was a JW) and a clever man. Yet when I would ask him about some of the WTS beliefs (6000 year old earth, pyramidology, creationism, Jesus moonlighting as an archangel etc) he would say with full eye-contact that there were no controversies and that everything the WTS said was true.
It just wasn't up for discussion. That infuriated me - there was no way he really believed all that nonsense, but he fully expected me to.
These ones, who stay a JW despite knowing deep-down the founding members were bonkers and the GB are no more than psuedo-theologians - these ones have me baffled. They'd rather look totally stupid for the sake of saving face/controlling others.

Would it be too cruel to..............
by Amelia Ashton inyesterday i had a real blast from my past turn up un-announced on my doorstep.
she bumped into my daughter (who has rejected me) in sainsbury's, took her to lunch and got my address from her.
she claims she has been searching for me ever since she discovered i was back in the uk.. she is a disfellowshipped sister who was described by one of our elders as a wagon.
