What I had meant to say earlier, was that many members of this forum have gotten some counseling to work through some of the issues and indoctrination brought on by the borg.

As a fellow college student, and fader (after college)....I STRONGLY SUGGEST you take advantage of the personal counselling services at your University! Tell them everything that you are going through, many people here and all ex-JWs really do need a little extra help.

Attracting young ones to the org
by Gratefullyunstuck innoticing a lot of posts and behaviours of the org that they seem to be trying to appeal to the younger generation.
im wondering if they are jumping on the back of a popular young clothing brand called jack wills.. a lot of their clothes have jw logo on them.
i wonder when searching this logo 'jw' on internet, where the search takes them?....................hmmmmmm!.

I agree LP97, Im young, and now I see how my whole life I was groomed to be involved in the borg. Thats how you retain people, especially young teens who are socially repressed elsewhere because of their restrictive upbringing. The whole regimen for youths now is to make sure your kids "Stay in the truth" I remember when I was 13 or so my parents were having issues, and they approached the BOE (BAD IDEA). The CO got involved and I later heard a rumor, from my dad, that this Circuit Overseer claimed that by 18, I would be out of the truth! When I found out he said this at 16 I was devasted! I was zealous in the cong. and felt as if this man was damning me for no reason. Well I finally learned TTATT at 19, and im mentally out but still active, perhaps then he realized that I wasn't the typical mindless follower. With those types you give them a few 'priviledges' at the KH and then they will do whatever you say: skip college, pioneer, go volunteer waste their youth at bethel, be concerned with spandex, etc.

I talked to my mother yesterday about TOMO III's comments on brothers being MS and marriage. She said: "Sisters aren't dumb, somethings go in one ear and out the other."

by Blackfalcon98 inhi guys, ive finally got a copy of coc from my local library, im on page 120ish and im really enjoying it!

Got ratted out for celebrating Halloween...
by cognac inone of two things will happen.
i'll get disfellowshipped and never have to worry about being "told on" again for living a normal life, or; they won't do anything.. either way, it's freeing and i feel relieved... it will be sad if i get disfellowshipped but i've come to terms and made peace with it as much as can be expected.
it's a huge weight to have off.. was told on a week ago and haven't heard anything.

& They Say Privileges In The Congregation Isnt a Status
by thedepressedsoul inim sure you all have heard at one point or read that being an elder or ms isnt a position higher up but rather that you work under the congregation.. anthony morris just threw that out the window!
i have privileges in the congregation and even i was offended and felt bad for anyone who was 23 or older and not a ms!.
he goes on to tell this story of how a sister wanted to marry a brother and that anthony morris discouraged it because he was 23 and not an ms yet.
