You can't get it back. That's why we punish crimes against children so harshly, once you strip a child of their childhood you can't give it back, they are forever changed and scared and the innocence is gone. The WBTS stripped me and so many others of the dreams and joy that should have been my right as a child and I hate them for it, because I can't get it back -- Big Dog
Big Dog, it's like you've captured my thoughts perfectly with the initial post in this thread! I, too, wanted to do little league baseball and other kid sports, but was denied that because practice/games would interfere with meetings and field service, and we all know what our parents' priorities in life were. Jehovah, not family. Jehovah, not the well-being of your kids. Jehovah, not your own sanity. Oh, and "Jehovah," actually means the Watchtower corporate entities.I doubt Roger Clemens was stressed about possibly having to compete with me for a job, but it pisses me off that I never even had the opportunity to dream of being a pro athlete or other dream careers thanks to this corporate cult. The anger associated with being denied that and other opportunities never seems to go away, no matter how hard I try to make it go away or how much success I achieve in life. There's always the question of "what if the cancer that is the Watchtower cult hadn't been a part of my life?" And it's a question that makes me feel like heading to Bethel with a sledge hammer to level their headquarters personally, one floor at a time.Yes, I'm a lot happier now that I've been out of the Watctower cult for about a quarter century. I've done well professionally and personally, but I've never been able to completely eliminate the anger that this childhood instilled in me. I try my best to keep it under wraps, but it's restrained, not eliminated. And due to continued familial involvement in this despicable cult, I am constantly reminded of the past and how much I hate the Watchtower cult and the excrement that runs it. That reminder keeps the wounds open, and the anger well-fed.| Member | Post |
