  Home schooled witness kids

  by stillin in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  sorry if i'm stepping on any toes here, but i haven't seen anything positive about home-schooling...at all.

  the notion is that parents are taking advantage of the formative years to inculcate more worthwhile values while protecting their kids from worldly influences.

  they end up with lazy, socially inept, illiterate duds who haven't a clue.

  Throwing the Baby out with the Bathwater Goodbye Watchtower Hello Nothing?

  by Magick in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as witnesses who were deeply indoctrinated.

  we accepted all of jehovah's witness teachings as a total package, it was "the truth".

  there were no cracks in our armor that would allow other ideas, doctrines or thoughts to seep in.

  Personality Type That Draws One To WTBTS

  by searching99 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was thinking about this last night and after reading the previous topic about the gb believing or not it has me thinking again.

  i am continually amazed at how a "new" religion can cause ones to abandon all previous beliefs and they are never questioned again.

  i am third generation.

  you know, i never thought that i could meet someone so much like me.

  but i did and right here at jwd, we only live a couple thousand miles from each other but i feel driven to relocate.

  not tomarrow or anything sudden but the thought of someone who you know deep inside is you're perfect match is so far away, what else is there to do ?.

  DID Your Parents take action when The Society Failed to do so?

  by YoursChelbie in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  to any child who is an abuse survivor:.

  at some point, your abuser was made known to the elders in your local jw congregation but .

  the "elders" did nothing to report the matter to local authorities.

  Do you have friends in different age groups?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  whatever your age, do you make friends and hang out only with people your age or will you hang around with people much older or much younger than you?.

  mentally i must be quite young, because i love to hang around with people 10 to 15 years younger than me.. .

  i never hang around with older than me, and rarely with people my age.

  Did You Make Excuses For The Jehovah's Witness Religion?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  did you ever find yourself having to defend your faith, while at the same time knowing, that your arguments were not so good to begin with?

  for example, a person might say,"you people don't take blood and believe in doctors.

  " even if we might have doubts about the blood issue, we would still defend our "faith" as best as we could.

  OUR MENTAL HEALTH

  by RAYZORBLADE in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  no epiphany whatsoever, but i was pondering this subject tonight on my way back home from work.. there are many subjects on the matter of health, and of course: post jw, our mental health.. for most of you, how would you rate your present mental health?.

  comparitively, our physical health, depending upon what ails us, we can generally heal and feel better after brief or extended recovery time.. mental health on the other hand, is definitely long lasting.. i've been almost 20 years outside of the jws, but i think it nearly took me that entire 20 years to get where i am today.. sad, but true.

  anyone like to contribute their thoughts on this matter.. thank you.
