Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

by Lady Lee in

jw
friends

i posted this in a thread but perhaps it needs to be on its own so that it doesn't take over the other thread.

most people who have lived in a cult or high control group such as the jws will experience many of the symptoms of complex post-traumatic stress disorder (c-ptsd).. complex post-traumatic stress disorder.

trauma and recovery .

Thank you lady lee.

Psychological and Recovery Issues

Martin H. Teicher, "Scars That Won't Heal: The neurobiology of child abuse," Scientific American, March 2002

. . . violence and abuse pass from generation to generation as well as from one society to the next. Our stark conclusion is that we see the need to do much more to ensure that child abuse does not happen in the first place, because once these key brain alterations occur, there may be no going back. [emphasis added]

This was a ground breaking study regarding the ;"what came first the chicken or theegg". issue on pathology of depression and other mental illnesses. Simply put,;severe childhood trauma and/or abuse can induce harmful structural changes in the brain,which remain permanently. As the saying goes;"once you become a pickle you will never go back to being a cucumber again" { footnote from undaunted Danny:when the abuse is perpetrated in the name of God it amounts to soul rape and is the worst of all conditions to overcome ] see my home page regarding stockholm syndrome MORE on Stockholm Syndrome ] [ Danny's Sensible Suggestions

Does the WTBTS claim to be "the vine"?

by marsal in

.

i just read on another exjw site that the wtbts claims to be the vine spoken of in john 15. do they really teach that?

i don't remember hearing that before.

Undaunted Danny

Try a general search eng. look up with the keywords.I recall something about the 'vine' and branches 20-30 years ago.What matters to me is that the fruitage of the Watchtower vine is rotten to the core

Idiotic things only a jw would say

by micheal in

a c.o in one of his friday night talks noticed when he was invited for meals at the brothers and sisters homes that everyone has their chairs and sofa's pointed at the direction of the television set and asked why do people do that.

then he went on to strongly suggest that everyone change this and either have their furniture pointed somewhere else or get rid of the television.

what a total moron!!

MOST STUPID SAYING BY THE WT$ Alert ! 1990 District Convention Providence Rhode Island USA.The same DC that the WT$ said;"Don't get pregnant and have babies cause the end is just sooo close". Family 4 Watchtower commands: DO NOT WATCH THE SIMPSON'S ANIMATED TV SHOW !!! That takes the cake right there. My longstanding favorite is WT$ creedo:"..no matter what Jehover is still using this organization,..."Danny's reply: Jehovah is a Jinn

The history of Islam

http://www.islamicweb.com/history/chronology.htm

according to a pro-islam website... islam?s history is filled with conquest and violence.

i was intrigued by another posters post about how the crusades were in response to the muslims invading the western world... so i had to do my own research to see if this was actually true.. as it turns out, the muslims have a habit of trying to take over the world.

What first gave you doubts ?

by rick1199 in

we all know the big problems with the wts, but what was the first thing that made you realise there were problems with the organisation ?

with me it was realitivly small stuff like an 8 year old getting baptised and a comment my best mates made about another of our friends asking if we should be hanging round with her as she might be bad assciation (she had just been reproved, but they had been mates 20 years).. .

how ever the first time i ever thought something was really wrong was when i was about 11 and my grand farther died, and mu mum wouldn't go to the funeral, i remeber thinking that surely it was better to say good bye properly than worry about if the service was in a church.. .

The cataclysm of the imploding 1914 generations supernova. Im 3rd generation JW going back to the....zeal of the "Truth" book crusades of the late 1960's.My uncles my dad and my grand-dads all were devout disciples of the Watchtower. They use to quote Jesus:["Matthew 24:35
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. ] My 'elders' would make attribution of Jesus solemn oath to the 1914 'profitcy'.When it turned out that the 1914 anachronism was a mutation of the William Miller movement,and a demonic lie. That clinched it for me! It took 5 years to accept and resolve in my heart that they are a man made false,'fraud in the name of God' ripoff religious racket. My exit date was January 5th 1992 I'm still rebuilding. Q: After a lifetime of Jehovah's Witness, how did you move beyond those teachings?

A: I figured out that their teachings were just so much, convoluted cult trappings. The thing that really save me was this: When you get disengaged from a cult, you're brainwashed that you're doomed. They brainwashed me that I was like Judas Iscariot - Judas betrayed his master, and now there's only one thing for you to do and that's to go off and hang yourself. For three years I was so shackled and chained to them I was afraid to tell the mental health people why I was depressed and suicidal. Then I looked up a cult support group, and I walked into the meeting and there were all these ex-Jehovah's Witnesses, ex-Scientologists, ex-Moonies, and I realized I identified with them. We're all cut from the same cloth, all come from the same pedigree. And it opened up my eyes. You can't attack any cult because they're brainwashed to not listen to anything negative. Jehovah's Witnesses will take all the bashing they can hear about Moonies and Scientologists because "Oh, they're a cult" - but then when you think about their fundamental dynamics and how they operate, you realize Jehovah's Witnesses are just like that............
