i don't know if this is going to make sense to anyone, but here goes.. okay so according the jw elders in my hall "we can't say for sure whether or not certain people will die at armageddon.

" however, we know the jw stance is really "if you aren't a jw, you are doomed.

" but apparently these elders said that wasn't the case.

Jehovah drawls those he wants and can read hearts

My sister in law told me that i was blessed because all JW's are hand picked by Jehovah! It makes me shudder and have an overwhelming urge to vomit to think that a ''blood thirsty'' God chose me to be in his demonic cult! What the hell did i do to deserve that???

Child Abuse At The Meetings

by Hairyhegoat in

please read and i will tell you now this was it was like for me !.

kingdom halls are a hellish memory for me.

i grew up as a jehovah's witness from the age of 9 until i fought my way to freedom at age 18. i recall children as young as a year old being beaten repeatedly for not sitting still during services...some sessions, called assemblies, were 6 hours long and lasted for 3-5 days in succession.. my nephew was one of many who felt the literal sting of the watchtower's stance of "spare the rod, spoil the child.

I witnessed quite a lot of physical/mental and emotional abuse in the KH's...One child who was 6 months old at the time was thumped because she dared make a noise! It was awful...One little boy was dragged out by dad [who was smirking] and came back in once the screaming had died down with his dads signet ring imprinted on his face! Grrrrrrrrr!

Both Carrot and myself never hit babysprout! We were soo lax with her she used to toddle off down the aisle and all these hands would be trying to grab her! Lol. If she got bored my dad used to take her for a walk outside down to the stables to look at the horses! She loved that soo much she used to walk up to my dad and say ''come on papa lets go for a walk''...We were frowned upon but who cares! She was allowed to take toys and play on the floor and take a drink and some food...No way was i going to let my babysprout go hungry whilst listening to that drivel! One time Babysprout was sitting on Carrot's lap and she was playing with his tie, the little girl who was the same age was sat in front and climbed onto her dads lap to copy...She picked up her dads tie and it was snatched off her and he whispered something soo awful to her, her face contorted with terror!!!! They were only toddlers!!!!!!! At least Babysprout won't grow up with severe issues, apart from being in that cult, which she reminds us of at least once a week...Every day in the build up to xmas and birthdays! Lol...Dramatic she most certainly is!!!!

Peace
