How must I explain? I live in the West of Australia. I didn't want to feel alone but I phoned one of those institutions listed as being funded by Royal Commission. When I started to speak to this woman she was so familiar with the cases that I was surprised. She told me that many women from my area had phoned in.

Get this. They are not happy. They are told they are happy....One girl I know who is very beautiful is crushed all the time by the older uglier and horrible ones. She is vibrant. She has been disfellowshipped and never looked better. Very beautiful and very loving. No one would talk to her, her father,, an elder was in all sorts of straights over this.
My advice to her..........Just don't let this religion kill off your love of life and people. She went back and "behaved". What sort of love is that, that one would want to crush the soul out of such a lovely young woman? I hate the crushing of the young ones most of all. There is a jealousy at work here. It seems one can't be beautiful and good....stuff that.
I was beautiful once and now I know what crushing my soul was about.

I was sent a list of places I could contact in my part of WA. I was cautious. I always ask if they are JWs. Then I ask their name again and write it down again. I rang this number and explained as succinctly as possible, what the issues were. Conversation went like this..." Don't worry we have had many women from this area call us". Me: " Really? Are you kidding me? Are you a JW?
No I am not, I'm just telling you we are being contacted by many many women. Women just like you"
Now I felt so much better and told her I felt validated for some reason. " Don't think for one second you are the first. You are not by a long shot. We are funded to assist".Good planning on the RC hey?

I am ten years younger than my devout sister. She looks really old though. I mean "disappointed old". The sort of old that refuses to accept that she will die in this time on this earth and no one really knows what happens after.
Her solution is to go into it further, get more insanely defensive and avoid "evidence" at all costs.

John, I really like your stories/experiences too. They are good for the soul and confirm that to be free of indoctrination, to live a good life is our right. This religion sucked so much soul out of everyone. Thank you for these important views. You sound like a very friendly person who could talk to anyone. -

Wt contradiction
by poopie in7/15/2010 wt says"in more recent times opposers of true worship similarly used the threat of isolation in an effort to put fear in the hearts of true christians.
sounds a lot like shunning.

The good looking one in the blue dress is a big mistake on the part of the WT. She is the shunned one and looks good for it. The rest are all colourless, just like the WT wants them to be. -

Blondie.
I would always be told that jws would be perfect in the new world...but exactly when would they be perfect, 10 years, 20 years, 100 years, into the 1,000 years?
Perhaps they would have free fillers and botox until God stepped up to the plate..Oh and free dental, implants, lipo, tucks lifts and hair implants for the thinning....But NO Beards and no tats, no body piercings of any sort....

I think I spelled that al wrong there....sorry. Look it up and see how controlling the Catholic religion used to be..The Watchtower is often modelled on these principles. -

What about my Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Tony Joe White, Alan Parsons Project....and all the other collections?
I don't want to listen to Witness songs for the rest of my life. There's no soul in it. It's all based upon some limited range of notes designed on the template of the Monks and their chanting.
It was considered very dangerous by the Catholic hierarchy to allow freedom in music incase it raised awareness or too much inspiration. Carmina Burana was one of those banned compositions...way to liberal and outside the 8 notes allowed....
