  meetings were so hard at that age.

  in fact, they were agony my entire life.

  I had the same experience growing up. But when my children were little, little, I did things a bit differently and had not issues with anyone saying anything.

  I had a toddler and a new born. I would bring my toddler's kitchen booster seat with the tray attachment and let him color, snack, draw. When he got a little bit older, I had found cardboard bible story style books and allowed him to look through those. I didn't care that they were not JWs. No one said anything. I think I had the look of....I dare you to say anything.

  .........although sometimes slight differences.. bear in mind i am in the uk and we don't go a bundle on therapy and i can't afford it anyway.. here is the dream manifest content as best i can recall.............. i am in a town or city.

  i come across a shop which inside is more like an indoor market, sometimes a cavern.

  it sells marvel comics.

  I watched...and my family was pretty strict about a lot of things. But they called bogus on banning movies with magic. I even was allowed to watch the smurfs. LOL. My parents thought that the Jws who banned it were stupid.

  for the DF'd: did you confess or were you ratted out?

  by kid-A in

  looking back at the 10 or so cases of disfellowshipping i recall, i think only 1 was due to the orwellian borg spy system.

  he was ratted out.. all the other cases were actually "confessions" by people that otherwise would have gotten away with it.

  i am wondering is these percentages.

  Goodness......never did get dfd, but ended up in a jc. I dated a jw boy secretly for over a year. My first love. Well things got heated but we never went too far. When we broke up. I was so depressed. I stupidly wrote some things in my diary. Mom found it, says she was trying to figure out why I was so sad. My dad, was an elder, freaked. The boy and I ended up in a jc, getting questioned over and over about our nonsexual relationship. Nasty questions over and over. I was so humiliated and further hurt. They ended up believing us, but we were not allowed to see each other, talk about it, anything, etc. He lost privileges for awhile, but nothing for me. Years later, we finally talked. Finally had real closure. That was horrible.....

  Looking back....I wish my mom would have just asked. Now as an adult reading what I wrote. I can see how they jumped to conclusions. There are several sentences about how guilty I felt.

  Another reason....I'm out. I will NEVER do that to my children.

  My husband works in the medical field and had missed lots of meetings. Over the years he would get a bit upset when I spoke negatively about a meeting, service or anything associated with the witnesses. I was shy, in a new hall with two little ones. It was very hard to find any enjoyment in attending. But I persisted in attending. Till my ears were finally so tired of listening to the same old stuff. I couldn't handle it, so I went to fewer and fewer meetings. About the same time my husband quit getting his haircut. Something had changed for him as well. But at the time it was still to touchy topic. I attended a special day assembly with out him again....there was a terrible talk giver by a gov body member and I was done. I later told my husband, I am never going to another meeting. I told him about the talk and he agreed. I was a bit surprised. That was three years ago, we still don't discuss our dislike for the org, but we sure do talk about how wonderful everything else is. He still smirks at me when he knows I'm on this site.

  JW children taught cold calling techniques

  i had a double glazing salesman call today.

  he was so irritating because he didn't tell me who he was but instead started asking me questions about my house and some slightly personal questions.

  in the end i found myself saying who are you and what do you want.. then i thought heck this is what i was taught to do.

  Pixel....you made a rhyme.

  Plus I learned a lot. I think I totally ignored the teachings of abandon. Probably zoned out, looking at the dander in the bro or sister in front of me.

  Does Anyone Feel the Ministerial School Helped Them?

  by Band on the Run in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as a born-in, i was eager to join the ministry school.

  my cousins were also born-in but lived in different states.

  there was keen competition to see who could do mature things, such as baptism (my mom said when i was 35) and ministry school.

  I didn't mind them too much. I was shy and it helped. But to be totally honest, it was my favorite meeting. You never knew what may happen. Once an older sister lost her slip walking onto the stage. Another teenager always got a red strip on his forehead from nerves. Kids were great, when they smiled and waved. Once I gave a talk and only did the intro and conclusion. LOL. But most of the time I couldn't tell you what the talk was about.
