  Dangerous "Pent up" feelings inside of most witnesses?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw

  i have often wondered if there is more harm done to people who are stifled or smothered from expressing their natural conduct, feelings or actions because of it being condemned by religious ideals?.

  so if a person keeps suppressing their real personality and tries to mould themselves to the "perfect" or "ideal" version as expected from those controlling them, could they eventually "bust" so to speak?.

  for instance, witnesses condemn many forms of entertainment.

  Xanthippe said: The psychologist my husband and I went to see after leaving the WTS listened to our description of the rules and regulations regarding sexuality even within marriage that JW are subjected to and he said that kind of repression often leads to child abuse. This was twenty-six years ago and we said no there is no evidence of that!

  Holy sh!t!.

  In my experience with my JW family members and friends of my parents, there is this smiling veneer thinly veiling sadness, guilt, fear, self-righteousness, and anger. There is nothing positive about any of those emotions. Beating oneself up over a self-imposed belief system based on mythology is not reasonable or logical. You cannot expect positive outcomes from something like this.

  i got an invitation from an ex mormon bishop to come learn how to witness to mormons.

  this guy is brave, he even invited the current local mormon bishop to attend.

  here's his website leebaker.4mormon.org.

  I am not particularly interested in bringing them down. What I'd like to see is changes made so they are no longer hurting people.

  I think my ultimate fantasy is to have everyone, some day, realize that God is just a figment of the human imagination.

  I have been in toxic relationships.

  If you are not being treated with respect, if you are being abused in some way, then you are in a toxic relationship.

  My experience has been that you have to leave these because the other person or persons exacting the abuse will never change or stop. They have issues they need to deal with and usually do not.
