What musical groups or songs were bad according to JWs?

by Victorian sky in

what songs or groups were you forbidden to listen to as a jw?

were any specifically mentioned from the platform or were you counseled not to listen to a certain song?

for me it was the entire def leopard hysteria album - bad heavy metal told it was demonic, i listened to it in secret, silk's "freak me" - a virgin listening to a song about hot sex?

I forgot Vanilla Ice's "Ice, Ice Baby", this big headed elder got up on the platform and mentioned the song by name saying that it's code for crack cocaine and encouraging drug use - do they sit around thinking this stuff up? - V Sky

Amac, are you saying there are rogue C.O's and elders who are stating their own erroneous opinions independent of the WTS? That's why it's called a BODY of elders, as a group they must go with what the Society says to the letter and if they dare step out of line with what the GB directs they are removed. So the damage done to the lives of JWs in individual congregations is not due to 1 or 2 bad elders or C.O's this is an epidemic problem that originates with the source - the WTS. The level of depression, guilt, denial, control by fear is rampant in the worldwide 'brotherhood'. I'm not saying the GB made this sick man pull the trigger but could the high pressure life of a JW lead to this? Absolutely. - V Sky

The Worst Thing You Ever Did As A Jehovah's Witness

by minimus in

what's the worst thing you did as a jw?.......for me, it was to help other persons come to love the "organization".

Victorian sky

I shunned my disfellowshipped mother for 6 months and that moved her to seek reinstatement - I can't tell you how sorry I am about that, worst thing I've ever done. Now she's upset about my 'negative' attitude about the troof. - V Sky

Cancer tests came back 'normal'

by Ravyn in

jw
friends

so that is a major relief.

still means they don't know what the problem is, but cancer was one of my worst fears.. tomorrow (wednesday, august 27th) is the arbitration in that stupid lawsuit and it will determine the next 20 years of our lives.

mars, the new moon, my energies are pretty scattered right now and i am just trying to get thru it an hour at a time.. thank you for all the support you have given me thus far and what you will continue to give.

Ravyn, so happy to hear it's not the big C. So what's happening tomorrow that determines your life for the next 2 decades?

" Anything by Stevie Nicks (she's supposed to be a witch) and no Michael Jackson (He DA'ed) Also Duran Duran's "Union of the Snake" - told it was about Satan, Tears for Fears "Shout" a pioneer said it was about the 1914 war in heaven - I kid you not. Tthe weirdest excuse I was told was an elder warning me about Earth Wind and Fire - They hate JW's we interfere with their demonic show! Anyone else heard something similar about a song they loved? - V Sky

Special K and Ravyn, I am so sorry for all the pain you've both been through, it's just awful. I wonder if Mackey's wife went to the elders and what they said or did if anything. If the marriage was troubled I wonder what that means. I'm not blaming this poor woman but I'm wondering if she knew her husband had a gun in the house. Also if there was any hint of my mate being unstable I'd be outta there with my child and the elders can go hang. This just makes my blood boil that he took that innocent child with him. - V Sky

I live down the street from these people! I didn't know them, they must of been going to one of the 3 nearby KHs in the area. This is too sad for words. It had to be premeditated, how many JW's own guns? None I know of. There had to be signs before that lead to this. I wonder if his poor wife spoke up about his issues to him or the elders or if she was in typical JW denial mode. And to kill his boy, it pisses me off when people do that , if he wanted to die - fine but leave the kid alone. How will that poor woman survive this? - V Sky

Keeping Up With The FACADE,How Long?

by Blueblades in

how many of you have had to keep up the facade on the outside,while on the inside you were dying?.

the facade being putting on a happy face in front of the elders and others while knowing what you know about the society and all the harm it has done.. how long did you keep up this facade before it began to affect your well-being?.

for me it lasted about a couple of years before i started to do the fade and have started to feel better.. blueblades

Victorian sky

Off and on for 6 years, but I didn't know that's what I was doing either. I thought if I just act like a JW, I would believe it on the inside but that never happened. The doubts persisted and never let up until I left. - V Sky
