Do you think a JW childhood is abusive?
by Konrad West ini had a long discussion the other day with my new flatmate, who it turns out has studied with jws and thinks they're wonderful, about my view that being raised a jw is psychologically abusive.
being indoctrinated with the concept of jehovah killing people who don't do what he says and being scared of losing your friends and family if disobedient is, in my view, a very unhealthy thing for a child.
any thoughts?

Mouthy... or others who may have advice for this Canadian
by outbutnotdown ini haven't been on jwd much lately, but i was here regularly a couple of years ago, but i am asking for some kind of help.. here's my situation, in short... (for now):.
i'm an ex-jw, shunned by my family (my sisters refused to say a word to me at our dad's funeral, for example *rolls eyes*).. before last summer, i had great success through the courts at preventing my kids from being raised as jws and i was given a great deal of access to my kids as well.. we had a family court trial last summer and unfortunately the judge reversed many of the great steps that the other judges had previously made.
needless to say, my ex's mother lied through her teeth at the trial (theocratic warfare strategy).... the only sad part was that this judge believed her, where the others didn't.. some of the allegations have included that i sexually assaulted my oldest daughter (i have four kids... two boys (11, 8), and two girls (7, 5).

Anyone want to try an experiment?
by Lady Lee ini have been having a discussion with scholar.
and like most discussions with a jw we aren't getting too far.. scholar insists that the wts/jws are known for:are known internationally as a clean and moral peopleour organization alone stands as a beacon of truth, hope and faithadvance people spiritually, emotionally and physically.
there are other wonderful qualities that he attributes to the wts/jws but that is usually the gist of his remarks.. of course most x-jws will say something quite different.. the experiment is this:.
