  Did you lose respect for your parents because of the JW / Watchtower crap ?

  this is probaly one of my biggest problems i dealt with growing up in the jw crap.. it's no fun growing up alone.. i am sorry, but i hated my parents (probaly from the time i was 13), i know that is mean and a terrible thing to say, but that's how i felt.

  i had no respect for them growing up in the borg.

  they taught me nothing about ................. having a relationship/dating.

  That's what they were.......dub parents! That's what they believed to be truth because they were lied too........just like we were. Why blame your parents for the same shit you fell for?

  Being raised in da troof doesn't mean you fall for it. Kids raised in the borg suffer till they can bolt. Some can't handle being out of the social aspect of the borg so they marry at 18 to another young dub. And some have established outside contacts and totally leave the borg and aren't worried about the shunning.

  I have lost repect for my parents and I shun them they don't shun me.

  Scince I have been in numerous JC's, I have seen alot of disgusting pompous piglike elders in action. The elders in my area that had the most power were always the ones who were well off money wise. They always would roll up to the hall in their brand new Lexus and look down on the R and F Jdub. They would always keep to their own clique. The best would be the new MS and or elder who would run around these jerks like little puppy dogs looking for a handout. I will always take great pride in all the lies I told the elders in my JC's. The excellent acting job I did so I could stay in the borg long enough to bang some of their daughters.

  I was very well known in the circuit and liked by alot of the dubs. When I did the quick fade, not at one time did I ever receive a visit or phone call by the local elders. I even lived three doors down from a elder in my cong. and he never once visited me. What loving shepherds!!! Aren't they supposed to care for the "flock"??

  2. friends

  with 5 meetings a week plus field service, and additional reading of the bible and watchtower literature, what did you learn after all these years in the jw organization?

  did we need all those meetings and time and effort just to know some simple details?

  in all these years i spent there, this is just about all i can say i learned there: .

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it has been eluded to in a couple of other topics,.

  let's face it the young generation of jw's are getting smaller and smaller, and very few "new ones" coming into the fold.. what will the watchtower's tactics be, to keep this farce going another 100 years let alone 10 years ???.

  change 1914 to 1993 ????

  The young jdubs I grew up with that are still "active" really only go because of social reasons. Either they are afraid to leave because of shunning or they are scared of starting out socially again. And I would venture to say that the generation of dubs that were after me, 20 - 25 year old ones, about 80% of these are already out of the borg. Like everyone has been saying the internet, college, and just having more knowedge is really going to cut the numbers in the developed nations...

  My JW Husband Got a "Privilege" Back - UGH!

  by worldlygirl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my jw husband came home from his meeting yesterday a little later than usual, and when i asked him where he had been, he said he had to meet with the elders after the meeting.

  well, it seems that even though he is reinstated, he has to ask for each of his"privileges" back one at a time.

  nothing like prolonging the agony!!

  That actually is the best priviledge to get taken away from you. I hated commenting at the meetings. Commenting is just a way to let the know-it-all dubbers spout off on how well they can rephrase the paragraph...

  The best way to leave the borg is to fade. I started fading in my early 20's and was completely out by 26. My family has actually given me very little grief but then again we don't talk that much. I think they got the message when I brought my girlfriend (now wife) over to their house. My dad started to preach to her and I told him never to talk to her about religion. Then I guess they didn't like it when I was married in a Catholic church. Anyways the brainwashing will take a little time to get out of your head, but when it does you will wonder how in the world you ever believed in all the crap...
