I never want kids. I dont want my kids to get destroyed. (page 2)

Denial is the first line of defence for a Dub. Mine pull that one damned near every time their religion is discussed.

This is exactly how I felt as a teenager and young adult. It is also throughout the literature how bad the world is and that you are counselled not to have children. I was also worried about if my kids needed blood since the blood policy back then was that it was completely forbidden.

I didn't know back then just how much I had been lied to. Now my life is about unlearning everything and going forward from here. I'm really too old now to have children and I am worried about what is going to happen once I get older and needing help.

What a positive outlook on life from Jehovah's happy organization!

LOL @ Ding

@ Heaven so true. I'm trying to look @ life in a different way. I dont have children yet (I'm 27) but I dont want to think that something negitive is going to happen just because my children might not be JW's. It is all about re-working your thinking.

Thank you guys for your comments.

I remember thinking that way to when I was young . Being so afraid my babies would suffer during the Great Tribulation . When I was 8 months pregnant with our youngest child back in 1987 the summer convention had a horrible talk intitled " Responsible Child Rearing in this Time of the End " It basically made you feel like such an idiot to choose to have children at this time instead of concentrating on the preaching work .......I wanted to crawl under a rock during that talk . Oh and now look all my babies are grown and ready to have families of their own .

I also remember talking to a pioneer sister that was just so upset and worried about starting a family (this was 15 yrs ago ) . SHe was truly upset because her husband wanted kids ,but she had been raised as a witness and fully indoctrinated in fear of the end . He finally must have prevailed because they now have three girls !

So much time ,energy and happiness is wasted in this horrible religion .

And it is not just the young that remain fearful .....I ran into a pioneer sister a couple of yrs ago and when I asked if she was a grandmother yet she nearly started to cry . Oh her daughter and son in law are crazy over their friends baby and she was AFRAID it would make them want a baby too . When I said that would be great to have grandchildren ,she was shaking her head saying NO not in this terrible time of the end .....I just smiled and said I couldn't wait to have grandchildren .

After years out of this organisation, I can truly say that Jehovah's Witnesses are some of the most ****ed up people on the face of the planet.

I have heard it all over the years.

It takes me aback how so many people can stand to endure this sort of shit year upon year upon year. The constant drip, drip, drip of negativity.

I mean, why is a young woman thinking about her future kids getting destroyed?

No wonder so many are confused, miserable & depressed.

All of the Watchtower Presidents were disfunctional in family matters, you think there was any chance we were going to get healthy advice.

yeah, I've heard it said in front of my wife, and while we had our kids in front of them............ no tact!

I never want kids. I dont want my kids to get destroyed.
